2 of these missed out on the deal on ebay which was for £117, these were £124 so still not to bad

these would be they.

 

Bunch of banana plugs (somehow I never thought about this when buying my current speaker cables back in -98 or so)
Samsung 980 1TB

 

Some electronics stuff: a Delta EDPS-715AB power supply that does 12.8A at 56V, which will be paired with a Riden RD6018 control unit. Have seen nothing but positive reviews for these Riden jobbies so very confident that this will be a nice test setup capable of at least 50V.

 

my surface pro4 has been in constant use since day one 8 years and not really been an issue and still going, mrs and kids wanted to to replace thier manky laptops with a newer one ordered 2 surface pro 9 i5 with 16gb was hoping theyd drop lower than 899 but with the keyboard and free pen with a ms voucher not bad.

 

I like kit that lasts doing its job, if they last just as long @Yaka that's just over a couple of quid a week per pro.

Can't think of many useful things you can get for that nowadays.

 

I doubt many of these where discounted but had a splurge lol
Sigma 70-200 F2.8 Art for Sony E (this definatly wasn't in the sale lol and isn't shipped till December 7th)
Streamdeck
DockCase NVME ecnlosure (has a little screen couldn't resist)
Crucial P3 4TB NVME for above case.
Dewalt Flexvolt 54v 6ah battery x 2
milwaukee M12 3ah Battery x 3
milwaukee M12 Compact 3/8" ratchet.
Random pile of parcels lol.

 

Got one of these on the way from the sale. Got a total of £40 off it.

 

New keyboard for work to replace the Corsair K65 Mech I have been using:



JLab Epic keyboard from Argos for £39.99.

Feels basically like the Logitech MX Keys S albeit for less than half the current price. Also way quieter for office use, although I have to remember it isn't as strong for when the month end payroll rage visits...

Can connect to three devices as well which is a plus.

Oh an its waaaaaaay better than the Lenovo Wireless thing or Logitech M540 we normally deploy - although I am "special" and use a MS Master 2S I repaired and up to now the K65...

Really did want to get a another Logitech G915 with 10 keys (for number entry) but couldn't justify the price. I use the TKL model at home and love it but at over £125 in the BF sales its a little much for sitting on my desk at work.

 

I was the same until I visited a friends house and seen this, build quality is fantastic, comfort is great, no creaks yet, longevity wise I can’t answer but he’s had his for 6 months and it’s still like new!

I’m saying this coming from a swivel cheap office chair through wanting to avoid the usual bucket seat rubbish.

 

Another part for my "During Xmas" PC build - a 1TB Crucial T700 PCIe5 SSD (no heatsink)

 

Must stop spending



A Meaco DDL8.

This house is over 100 years old so the usual quirks come with it. Picked up a DD8L Junior last year or early this and it worked wonders in the loft.

His brother will live downstairs and should hopefully do the same plus maybe take the edge off my allergies.

Any extra heat will be a bonus, hammering the boiler already and the Junior did knock the temps up by a good 3-5 degrees in the loft.

 

Thats a good little light, got one for my dad he uses it every day now .

 

Worth getting a little hygro meter, I whacked on our old Ebac moist inhaler 3000 humidity went from 70+ down to 40 in a day an thats with washing hung up.

 

Aye, have one upstairs and got another for downstairs. Seeing as my first is in the loft I wanted to be able to check on my phone if it needed emptying without traipsing up two flights of stairs.

The upstairs dehumidifier is on low fan 50% which uses about 9p an hour when running. Smart little machines, they check every 15 mins (or maybe 30) and if the humidity is ok they turn off otherwise they run until they hit their target.

Not sure whether to set it to 40 for winter though.

 

I took them up on their black friday deals too and ended up with a Warrior Mini2, absolutely cracking torch

 

I mainly use Sofirn lights (SC31 Pro in particular) as the one that stays in my pocket, but I have been thinking about one of these for a while and with £30 off on the sale and a £10 coupon, I thought I would treat myself. Should be arriving today.

We don't normally do much with the Olight sales, sure we keep an eye on what's going on and play around with the spinny wheel thing, but we bought a couple this time. My wife collects the little AAA i3t lights so I grabbed the new black and gold one for her too.
