Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

Further expansion of my DC / Saturn collection:



Keyboard is like new (suprising TBH). Games are all in excellent condition (again surprising considering how easily the DC cases break / crack).

My growing Retro corner (TV cabinet is new hence it fits in here):



We had to completely reconfigure our second bedroom but I have finally got my little retro corner back after moving. I have had to balance the crisp VGA picture quality of the DC with decent enough picture quality on the older consoles, hence the flat panel LCD.

The TV cabinet itself was £21 from Argos. It is only cheap laminated MDF, but the colour hides most of the cheapness in real life.

On the hunt for a decent NES now.

 

Android system going into the gtr

Tasty setup Lysaer!

Xaser, that retro corner is making my man-cave want grow I don't even have my N64 set up anywhere at the moment

 

Get it setup man! If you can on an older pre HDTV as the N64's blurryness is REALLY apparant on a larger HDTV. Zelda:MM was completely unplayable when I had it hooked up to my Sony Bravia 32" TV downstairs.

Luckily whoever had the Wii before me (got it used along with 15 GC games for £40) had downloaded Mario 64, Mario 3 & Super Mario World. I really want to get Mario 64 on the N64 9to play it with the N64 controller) but it looks much better via emulation on the Wii.

Need a DC mouse now for some QIII / Unreal fraggin fun.

 

Dressing gown, slippers and bottoms and top nightwear, not jamies. Hospital tomorrow and one does not like to be scruffy in front of strangers. My first foray into shops for many a year. Hated it.

 

Better yet, do a VGA mod and get an old CRT monitor, it's pure N64 heaven. Dreamcasts are lovely through vga too.

 

3 meters of garage worktop;



A metric bucket load of screws and coach bolts
Loads of cabling for my new home office
Ikea Galant desks for said office

My sister used to work for Allen & Heath building that kind of kit, until they made her jobless and moved the operation out to China

 

How long does lego live for? 20+ years it would seem; I was gonna practice some macro photography on my little Lego space ship I custom built a few decades ago, but a vital part snapped when I was posing it ( the horror! ), so some replacements and reinforcements are in order to 'upgrade' her



I never knew shredding old documents could be so much fun...

 

Bit of a spending spree:





AMD Athlon 5350

That should sort out the HTPC nicely.

Other stuff:
Copper grease.
Front discs and pads for the car.
Thermos flask.

 

Leather bike jacket.


Kevlar bike jeans.


Some new rubber foot rest legs for the bike, after 10k miles the originals are disintegrating!


And....



Middle brothers GF is throwing a Disney themed leaving party next month, she's going to the states to work in Disney Land. So naturally I'll be dressing as Ariel...

 

New phone case, mmm shiney

 

@MrJay: BlackMilk? Smexy legs

Just blew my money on a Philips HUE starter kit and an industrial hanging light.
Looking forward to turn my bedroom in a place of style and colour.

 

I finally got impatient waiting for the UK release, plus there don't seem to be any UK companies who do a decent job of modifying a laptop, so I've just sent a wire transfer for this little powerhouse to Xotic PC:



Gigabyte P34G v2

Downsides are American keyboard and import tax (money grabbing b******ds). Upsides are an upgraded SSD (512GB from a stock 128/256GB) and reapplied top grade thermal paste. I've also opted to up the RAM to 16GB.

I'll do a mini review when it finally arrives.

 

Oh my days!

The missus has ordered the R2D2 /3P0 leggings! Aha. I need to get out more...

 

Doesn't surprise me, speaking to them it was all about turnover I was essentially a skilled factory worker to them I was surprised they have managed to keep their level of quality as they have taken over the audio market.

The STM boards are extremely cheap but a pain to use I really do despise them, after my exams I'll start using it

Then again I have other things on my mind that will leave satans development board in its package.

That gear looks really nice

I wish you could get something like that for iPhone.... (screw you apple)

When my contract lets me upgrade Samsung are defiantly a consideration though, I really like the phones especially if I can pair it with a gear

 

Let's see...

Titan Black Hydro Copper
4x Sapphire R9 290x
4x Aquacomputer nickel blocks and active backplates
Corsair AXi 1500
Fans, dekatrons, driving circuits, car parts (including a new Optima battery), a Hakko FX888D soldering station, and a lot of new stuff for the holes in my head.

Disability finally paid me. Titan is for the wife.

 

Ohh, what are you up to? Mining?

Your wife is a lucky lady!

 

New (old) keyboard!
