Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

The fans arrived from Scan this morning. First impressions are very good. Build quality is very good, the trim rings are easy to snap in and out and it also comes with a voltage reducing adapter too. The only bad thing to note so far is the cable is far to short. Without the reducing adapter it's 30cm long and with the adapter its about 38cm. I'll tear down my rig and install shortly and get back to you with my thoughts on the air flow and noise

Edit: Right, they're in. Noise wise, noticeable at 100% but its more the air noise than the fans themselves. At 80% they're virtually silent but still move tonnes more air than the stock Cooler Master 140 and 200mm fans in my CM Storm Trooper case. Overall, highly recommended

See, you should of bought her a £100 bangel, and put a false price tag on it, and then made out you forgot to take the price tag off! (How do you think I get away with buying so much!) Only joking...Just in case see reads this!

I've never understood the need for expensive jewellery, i feel it is a waste of money, it does nothing, hmm my bangles cost about £5 now give me something functional. bought some arnette shades.

 

Most things can be done cheaper. But sometimes its nice to have something special.

I agree about crazy expensive jewery for day to day use but for evening wear its quite nice to have something to make you feel special.

I have a Rolex watch, and I initially planned on only wearing it during the week, but now I feel naked/not as cool without it and then drop it into conversation as soon as I've had a drink. I know its crazy but thats how I feel.

Also which arnette shades?
