1u Prolaint G7 with 2x xeon E5606 4x74gb sas drinvs.

New primay server for my lab to replace the jet engine that is my Dell 2950. the Dell will become my NAS at this point and the Prolaint will be my main EXSi box

 

512GB or nothin'!

Massive difference in price compared to the 256GB version, but I decided to treat myself.

My OS drive will be changing from a 4 year old Corsair Force 3 120GB to the M2 drive

And yes, those read speeds! Hnnnng.

EDIT: I had also considered getting an 850 Pro as well, but will probably get one early in the new year.

 

In Win 901 for £60 from yoyotech

 

A new case just turned up, which I'm utterly delighted with, not sure where to mount the motherboard though... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71-35AHpO7L._SL1500_.jpg

ba-dum, tsshhh!

 

Some graduated cylinders for mixing e-liquid:



A bunch more Raspberry Pi stuff: a second Zero, AmazonBasics USB Hub (because I don't own a USB hub, oddly), 16GB uSD, and an Adafruit PiTFT (2.8" resistive).

 

Bought a new skid lid.



Going to test it Here Tomorrow!

Excited!

 

Scrapped the JVC TV (the picture quality looked like utter sh!te when I saw the TV in the shop).

So instead I got a 50" LG HDTV and couldn't be happier with it! (£349 in Black Friday sale @ Currys).

LG 50LF561V

 

25" Dell UtraSharp U2515H Monitor, ummm'd and arrr'd but moved from 27' 1440p to 25' 1440p. Let's see how I get on with the tighter PPI.

 

I do have a 25" 1440p and absolutely love it (Asus PB258Q).

 

I heard lots of folks saying that in fact they prefer the 25' 1440p format over the 27, sharper images etc. Thought I would try it out for myself and see!

 

Mechanical keyboard, white backlighting and Cherry MX Brown switches.

 

bit of a long story behind this one...

when i was young my Dad built me a fairly large Train set, unfortunatly after he died my stepdad took the loco's and they got 'misplaced' AKA sold on EBAY. Not that they were his to sell. Unfortuantly the original set was as close as i can figure to limited edition as the Livery on this locomotive does not seem to come up on Ebay very often at all, and both previous times i have attempted to bid on these items i have been 'Sniped' at the last second

 

SanDisk Ultra II 960GB

£150, some 2-3 years ago i paid as much for Crucial M4 128GB

 

Always enjoyed the shape of these beasties. A purely utilitarian box of power on wheels, nothing done to make it pretty, just to get stuff done.

 

I was in the market for a new desk to replace my homemade one, saw this on the John Lewis site.

Hopefully I will be keeping it for a long time to come....

 

I should hope so considering how much they cost!

 

With nothing for scale in the picture, I thought you'd bought a bench.......

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mother of god! Not sure whats more depressing, the fact it costs that much or the fact thats more than I take home a month
