HP Microserver (£235 before cashback)



4GB of extra RAM for it:

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 900MHz 1GB PCI-E HDMI Maximum Graphics Edition with Crysis 2, Operation Flashpoint Red River and Batman Arkham City

Finally my 8800gts gets upgraded

 

ZOMG WTF FROM WHERE?

 

Omega - mine's sitting under my desk ticking away, epic choice there!!

 

I do believe that every server or NAS requiring member of bit-tech will own a HP Microserver by the end of 2011

Nice choice, Omega

 

Just brought a ibm model m, Got it for £60 with postage from us

 

Sweet pair of Nike Janoski's, I went for black.

 

Bought myself a new Furby

 

Nice. I want a car!

 

Gears of War 3... finally.
Might go at lunch and pick up Tekken 6 for the 360 as well... saw it on special.. but ONLY if I can get one of them adjustable D-Pad controllers somewhere...

 

Been on a bit of a spending spree!


Grigri


6x Petzl Twist Lock carabiners


Couple of slings


Figure of 8


Spare harness for teaching

 

The image on that one is a bit worrying...

 

Another pumpkin spiced latte from starbucks, and my subway fare for the day.

 

8 Compatible ink cartridges for my Epson Stylus D68 Photo Edition printer = ~£5.
Also got my keyboard stickers today, lovely jubbly:

 

My Epson BX300F doesn't take compatibility cartridges I guess they're not compatible after all

 

That sucks- if you could swap the chips over that might work, but then you have to also reset the chips so they read as full again- a reseter costs about ~£10 or you may be able to make one using a tutorial somewhere ( looked into it myself but no need really for my current printer given how cheap the compatibles are + print quality is just as good as the genuines ).

 

Yeah I suppose I could try that. I've been meaning to replace it with a new B&W Laser for a while now, but I'm actually trying to print less overall. At £35 a pack for genuines, it's bound to be worth a try with a resetter and a chip swap.

 

The Hunter by Mastodon, Dead Throne by The Devil Wears Prada and a silicone case for my Nokia N8; anodised aluminium is gorgeous and all, but damned slippery.

 

I am enjoying the **** out of that and the new Machine Head.

 

Just ordered 40 red roses from M&S as a give-a-way for people who sign up to the Labour Society at Freshers' Fayre.

More excitingly, I've also just ordered a nice sky blue i-cube vinyl box to go on top of my orange one. £30 with free delivery for what are very sturdy and well-made products is a decent deal if you ask me.



Going to Brighton in a minute though so can see my paycheck getting demolished quite quickly if I don't restrain myself. Must. Avoid. GAK.
