If I was changing the whole set out I'd go with a static colour, but I'm a tart and I like the rainbow wave pattern for the rest of the keys.

Although I did start with 6 greens, and after a whole day I'm up to 15, it might not be be long before they're all changed at this rate

Edit: make that 19

 

If you went for the green ones certain colours will leave you boss eyed.

 

It's not too bad, aside from the red all other colours shine through as a greenish whiteish colour.
And I tend not to look at the keys when I'm playing or typing unless I've had a few shandies.

 

A few 8TB Toshiba N300 NAS drives - Amazon warehouse 20% off
Just over £100 for Used - Like New and the first to arrive was unopened. I've generally done well from Amazon warehouse for hard drives and I've been thinking about replacing the 4TB drives I have so it's working out well.

 

OK, so after a whole day.

After coming from a Dyson AM06, which always looked bloody good / interesting, the design of this is uninspiring / dull / frumpy etc. although I do like the remote.

But its design failings pale in comparison to its function, she fair old blows the wind about like a good un, and more importantly it is bloody quiet, which for me is paramount as it sits less than 6' from my ear.

So 2 thumbs up from me and I can see a 1056 or 2 in my future.

 

Sold! One in my basket now

 

The 1056 is literally the best fan I've ever bought. They're pricey, but I'm going to get the "pedestal" version to replace the bedroom fan that's dying.

Like you said the looks are somewhat utilitarian, but the performance more than makes up for it.

 

Got 4 so far. That should be enough...

 

I've never seen a Founders Edition card with my own bare eyes, let alone owned one. After carefully taking the lid off I'm absolutely gobsmacked at the quality of it. It's a bit of a work of art, I have to say.
It really was a case of being in the right place at the right time, I still can't believe I managed it.







A happy chap indeed!

I'm pretty sure you're aware of signing up to Partsalert through Telegram so I feel it's a bit like how to boil an egg, but the alerts on there were far and away faster than Discord. I'd never heard of it prior, I read it on here of someone using it (I forget who, but big props). I missed out on a couple, but managed to somehow manage it on the third attempt.

edit: This is bananas. I was averaging about 54fps in Forza Horizon 4 at 4k with everything up to the maximum it could go. I was expecting some improvement, it goes without saying, but 'flipping heck'. This is getting on for double the performance, averaging 90fps. I sat through the benchmark just slack-jawed watching the fps in the corner. Of all the graphics cards I've had over the years, my word this is just amazing!

 

Gratz!!

I gotta say, other cards pale in comparison to the FE cards, as far as quality of construction is concerned - they are absolutely bomb-proof. I tried to grab one of the 3070Tis for my son, but the transaction was declined because I bought the 3090 from them, a year ago! Can't believe they're still operating a blacklist for previous customers.

 

Heavy metal

 

That's a good looking house, here's to a smooth and easy purchase

 

This arrived today:


...which takes me from this:


...to this:


Much happy!

 

I did the same when I got my 3080FE

 

MC2ISO, disc drive dead PS2 slim, and some sundries. Like a FreeMcBoot memory card. That'll probably get used to make a second FreeMcBoot card

Shhh. There's not going to be a lounge PS2, I swear.
