Keen to hear your thoughts on it.

 

A thing of beauty.

 

In PC world today and decided on a new mouse as my G9X gave up on me, and left me no choice but to use a spare laptop mouse.

Bought the MadCatz R.A.T 5 5600DPI Lazer for £45. (£50 in store)

Awesome Mouse! I love it!

 

2560 x 1080?



Phonak Audeo PFE112. These are pretty much everything I wished the IE80 was.

 

Using it right now, its brilliant, the sniper button is great too.

 

I've been a little naughty
So i've ordered some Server upgrades:
AMD Phenom 2 X6 1045T
Fractal Design R3
BeQuiet Shadow Rock Pro Top Flow SR1
2TB WD Green (From Margon)

Should make encoding BD's/DVD's a little quicker than the 3800+ that's installed currently.

Great minds think alike! *Brofist!*

 

I'll report back!

Hopefully

Yep it's an unusual res but that half of the appeal to me, a nice and wide monitor, plus it has the advantage of not needing quite as much GPU power as 2560 x 1600. The Custom PC review was glowing which gives me peace of mind.

 

preemptive bonus spending eh?

 

Got myself a Nexus 7 today and I'm really enjoying playing with Android for the first time

Certainly as nice as iOS but takes a while to get used to coming from an iPhone.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Had mine about 6 months now and haven't looked back. Sure ipads are nice but for what I use this nexus 7 is brilliant.

 

I love my pfe122's, I had some custom tips made up by ACS a few years back and the improvement to the isolation and bottom end with the grey filters was incredible. I highly recommend it, there's no fiddling about trying to get a good fit; straight in and your good to go. Some of the best money I've ever spent.

 

I keep meaning to get a set of customs made for my Etymotics.

 

No sure I want custom tips that only fit one or a few of my IEMs. I'd like custom sleeves for my IE80s though, given how much of a pain they are to fit.
My XBA-3's are going to get reshelled though, as soon as I can fit in a trip to the audiologist.

Personally, I'm hoping the PFE232 drops in price to £250 or so since Phonak are leaving the market.

 

Ordered a new toy this afternoon, passing my 123d M Coupe over to the Mrs and will be driving this beast from the beginning of May - it's going to be a long 12 weeks!



730d SE, modest spec - ticked a fair few boxes but it's so easy to go overboard on the 7, especially with the individual programme - you can spend more on options than most cars on the road cost full stop

I only have one set of IEMs and rarely change them with the frequency of full sized headphones so the extra cost didn't bother me too much. If I had more than one or two pairs I would have though a little more carefully about shelling out for them.

I didn't know Phonak were stopping, that's a shame.

 

Very nice. In Finland, our government, in it's infinite wisdom, slaps so much punitive tax on cars you'll be looking at cost of small house to get one of those.

 

That car, in Denmark, would cost you around 1-1.5 million danish kroners. That's in the neighborhood of 130-170.000 pounds.

Stupid car taxes.
