Holy crap, Breville have come a long way man, I still remember my nana getting the first ever one and burning the **** out of my chin with baked beans and cheese. Ahh, memories

 

WOW limited edition? (only 2000 being sold).

 

For my girlfriend. She's helping so much right now during hard times with my mum (radiation therapy is a bitch) that she just deserves an early birthday present.

 

Just bought one of these: Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN
The CRS305 is a compact yet very powerful switch, featuring four SFP+ ports, for up to 10 Gbit per port. The device has a 1 Gbit copper ethernet port for management access and two DC jacks for power redundancy.



Covers my storage, VM box and a download PC I have running.
Tied in with my UniFi US-24 switch, everything just worked out of the box.

Happy bunny (kinda, wish I had bought the 16 port version and 10gig'd the lot)

 

Been using mine now for about a week and a half, its great, no problems, running with my new QHD monitor just fine, no mouse or keyboard dropouts although I have to run my Corsair K70 Lux through the USB port instead of the emulated k/b port, this is common with KVM's and high polling rate keyboards. I had to do the same on my last 2 KVM's as well.

It seems to be the best quality 4 port HDMI KVM at a reasonable price, the Aten KVM models are stupid money and I don't trust the el-cheapo brands.

 

I didn't buy it new. The cloth and arm pads are new though, and it looks like new. The colour choices were mine though. I almost bought the black on black but cleaning the ribs all the time put me off.

If it's dirty I'd have a professional cleaner do it. I recently had my sofa done and it looks like new

 

Damned expensive new, around 20 to 30% more than an Aeron.

 

Yeah it's nothing like the Aeron though tbh. I've considered the Aeron a few times but I am clumsy and I'm terrified of splitting or ripping it by dropping something on it. Once you do that it's game over.

The only downside? It's one piece and does not separate, and it's very heavy at 25kg. So it's going to be stuck here at my mother's until I can get someone to help me lol.

 

Those two mesh sections on the Aeron, are replaceable. https://simplyaeron.co.uk/

BTW, I wouldn't swap my Aeron for any other.

 

No one chair is for everyone. If I had not had a big PPI payout, I would have saved up for a used Aeron but, the new chair comes with a 12 year warranty that includes the gas-lift, as do all Herman-Millar office chairs.

 

Had my Raspberry Pi 19" Rack moved forward.
Had 3D Hubs make the brackets for mounting 10 Raspberry Pi's for easy of rack mounting.

£2.50 each

 

6 in a cluster for learning, 2 for ADS-B flight tracking, 1 for SNMP and the other is a play thing
