    Ryzen 5 1600 - £190 from Ebuyer

    Gigabyte AX370-Gaming K5 - £149.99 from CCL

    Mobo gets a £20 steam voucher too, so that little bundle strikes me as a good deal!

    Marketplace, here I come...

    Cheers man! Bit of a pain in the arse to have to go through the rigmarole of taking everything apart, selling, posting, buying a new case and re-building etc, but I said I would go Ryzen originally and I know for those prices I could justify it (for 4x the threads!).

    Now I just gotta find a sweet deal on an Aorus (I'm sure it should be "Auros"...) GPU and I have a full deck of Ryzen-themed black/orange bits!

    AMD said that consumer-level Vega GPUs launch at the end of July. :thumb:

    No, AMD said that they would be discussing Radeon RX Vega at SIGGRAPH in late July/early August - not that it would be launching. Scuttlebutt below decks suggests actual availability will be considerably later, with as few as 16,000 enthusiast-grade units available at launch and mainstream pushed through to 2018.

    Can't attest to the accuracy of the latter claims, but can confirm that AMD has most definitely not stated a launch date.

    And there I was feeling bad for buying a CPU and motherboard hah.


    As for Vega, in all honesty August will be the earliest I'll be able to afford a high end GPU anyways, if the price/performance turns out not to be there, i'll settle for one of those swish looking Aorus RX580 XTR's to keep me going for a year or 2.

    Replacement frame for my hexacopter, after the last one was trashed when it decided to crash itself last week...

    [​IMG]

    413MHz Telemetry TX/RX set w/USB interface, so I can keep an eye on APM/Mavlink flight parameters while it's in the air.

    [​IMG]

    Cheap transmitter mounting bracket, so I can connect the telemetry receiver to an Android tablet (USB OTG is damn handy).

    [​IMG]

    ALL THE PROPS! (about 14 in total).

    [​IMG]

    Couple of these storage boxes, 'cos they were on offer for ~£4 and you can never go wrong with more storage boxes.

    [​IMG]

    And a teeny-weeny little toy RC car (again, on offer for about ~£4), with which I intend to drive the cats mental :D

    Oh, those storage boxes are exactly what I'm looking for. Where did you get them, Byron?

    Hobbyking. They've got 3 different versions in their "bargain basement" section; they're all in stock, and they're all stocked in the UK warehouse. Shipping is a tad pricey from Hobbyking - they only use ParcelFarce, as Royal Mail don't take kindly to LiIon/LiPo cells any more. It'll probably be about a fiver.

    14 compartments, with carry handle - £3.89
    18 compartments, clear lid - £2.33
    18 compartments, black lid - £2.33

    About to embark on a pencil collecting craze having recently discovered Japanese pencils...

    My two most recent purchases are a box of Tombow Mono 100 pencils in HB and a box of Mitsubishi 9800 pencils also in HB. I also bought a single Faber Castell 9000 HB pencil at Hobbycraft for £1.70, which is a mistake I shall not repeat in a hurry.
