a pair of these:

Logitech G330 Gaming headset. Might not be Roccats, but hot damn they're comfy, and they were the same as Roccat and Razer ear buds with short cables.


A Value pack of those: 2* Coolermaster 80mm Standard Blue LED 80ST3 fans to experiment with XBox cooling. Look like those little 65mm (or whatever the satndard ones in the 360 are) fans push more air... maybe I must incorporate som more airflow - i really DO hate how those little ones sound

 

good choice, mine have been up and running for a month now without a hitch

 

Box of Cool Mint Chip and Box of Crunchy Peanut butter 15$ a box ouch

 

Picked up a used D-Link Dl-524 wireless router for the equivalent of 12 quid.
No warranty, but works great, better than the Linksys WRT54G2 I had so far (as in can actually act as just a wifi access point, and not divide my computers into two ip subgroups).
Definitely worth the money, and it looks sexy right next to my D-Link DSL-584T modem router


Thinking of picking up a 6db antenna to boost the signal

 

...

 

Corsair VX450 - It's not the latest fancy one, but I know from personal experience that it's very, very quiet.

 

A pack of glow in teh dark Scooby Doo models, an Air Guitar, and a toy hamster ball for my Niece's birthday.

A Ben10 DVD Box set and another pack of GITD Scooby Doo Models for my nephew's birthday.

A nice big KATA camera bag that I liked the look of last week for my Alpha (priced in Jacobs for £60 found in Cardiff Camera Centre for £35) which should hold the body + 4 lenses + other peripherals nicely.

 

Thank you for the input! I take it the hx450 is the same, just modular?

 

Macbook Pro 15" (£400 off the retail price!!!) Brand new

Incase 15" Laptop Satchel (not quite a bargain at £49.99 from the apple store!)

500Gb 2.5in Hdd to upgrade the MBP

2.5" Hdd caddy (for the Hdd out of the MBP)


All in all its turning out to be an awesome week!

 

Managed to find a bargain on a dell studio 17
core i5 420
Hd 5650
4gig ram
1tb hdd (2x 500 sata
for the price of 879 £ (400£ off thruu offer + another 10% promotion code)
nice when the config without would have been 1340 aprox
(Offer was in sweden btw, dont know about how it is outside)

 

I would imagine so, but I can't guarantee it.

 

A 100 Trillion Zimbabwean dollar note.

 

Just ordered a TRUE black to arrive tomorrow, hope it fits!

 

a full set of these:

and

 

Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 VR IF-ED

 

I have the KATA DC-435 its a great bag, and just ordered the KATA 3N1-20

 

you will cry your mother soon enough...

at some point the DHCP will inexplicably stop working over the wireless even though the network itself still works (ie if you set static ip addresses to the wifi card it works)

I had been using mine as an access point only and and used an old linksys for the wan and dhcp job and it worked much better than having just this piece of crap doing it all.

I honestly wish you the best of luck and hope you won't have the same problems

 

Well, hopefully this won't happen, since the 584T's doing all the DHCP work (the 524 is really just an antenna in this case ). I could never get my linksys to work in "stupid" mode, nor could I get the modem to work in bridge mode (since my ISP requires a "special" firmware to enable IPTV on it). So I'm happy with this as long as it lasts (and at the price it cost me, I'll be happy with 3 months, tbqh )
