I need this in my life, where from?

 

one of the Facebook selling pages

 

20m spool of ribbon kanthal, 0,4x0,1mm A1 quality
2x 150x200mm #400 mesh
4x 18650 battery case
Second-hand Kecig K100 - ugly as hell but good for backup and pulsing

 

Ord Bot 3D printer and all the stuff needed to make it work
looking forward to melting some plastic

 

Picked one up as well recently. Only in black. Red looks cool though.

 

Got myself a Func MS-3 mouse, as my R.A.T9 exploded on me a couple of months back (WiFi module in the mouse itself died, so far as I can tell.)

Finally found something that is actually as comfortable as my old as balls X-748K that I bought all the way back in 2003-ish.



MS-3 on the left, compared to my Incredibly Dirty OscarTech X-748K on the right.

It's also got some of the best software I've ever used, finally taking over from the X-748k above (Seriously! That £15 busted piece of junk had better software than the £90 R.A.T.9!)

 

You need to start using a sock or something bro...

 

Ew.

Did you really have to go that far Margon?

 

I have sweaty hands, thank you very much. The X748K is way beyond saving, believe me; i've tried. I've rubbed off most of the rubberized coating across the whole mouse, which has added more gunk to the buildup areas too. I'm not sure whether to keep it or Burn it as a biological hazard.

 

Eugh. I hate that rubberised coating stuff.

It winds me right up, the Onza went shitty after barely six months, the Lachesis is now basically gloss, and the Mamba is on the way out coating wise.

 

The Func has it to some extent, but it works for the purpose of keeping the mouse cool, so far; it's really damn comfortable. I'm concerned that it may go the way X748K eventually though.

MS-3 does have a lot of shinies to go with it, though. Currently got all the LED's on the mouse set to pulse, just because it was an option.

 

Raspberry Pi model B with a whole complement of accessories from Comrade Woody on the MP - you'll see this and another Pi making an appearance in a "Photography, Art & Design" thread very soon

A whole bunch of iPad 2 parts including a digitizer, LCD, some small internals and a few (iFixit) opening kits - I have one very borked iPad to repair at the weekend.

Various small iPhone 4 parts including logic board SMDs and BGA stencils - I have a couple of iP4 logic boards to repair and one phone's worth of spares to build a whole 32GB handset if either of the boards come to life!

So many various tools including some nice 1/4" drive Wiha modular sets, Wiha security bits (to replace a draper set which was stolen from my toolbox on-site a few months ago ) and 4mm bit collector sets.

Another Dewalt DS150 ToughSystem box - because moar tools

And finally a 250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD for my laptop.

 

More DVDs:-

 

Rubberized coating is the worst one Nice for about 5 minutes, then, the bane of my life ha.

 

nice!!!

 

It's been an expensive day. These just arrived;

Corsair Carbide 300R
Corsair HX750
Corsair Vengence LP 1 x 8gb 1600mhz ram
Asus Z78-A motherboard
Intel i5 4670k
oem licence of Win 7 home premium 64 bit.
Asus 24" 144hz monitor.

Almost chose the wrong processor for the motherboard I had chosen, good think I double checked the socket numbers

It's nice to have my own computer once again. (I had to leave my computer back in Greece along with my Dell u2711. It just wasn't cost effective to bring it with me) I did however bring a 128gb SSD, 3tb hdd and my two GTX 670's with me )

 

Also just got this;



For £5 you can't go wrong.

 

i've got the same webcam, it's surprisingly good

 

The great book of Amber (has books 1-10 for the chronicles of amber series, it just misses the spin-offs and such)
