Welcome to uni, where your favorite articles of clothing (and footwear) mean nothing after you or a bunch of friends have been getting hammered.

I was really drunk a couple of weeks ago, got home, draped my leather jacket over the heater and passed out. I woke up in a smoky, smelly room to the sound of my mother yelling at me. My jacket was a scrunched up little ball of burnt hide.

 

Single piece of 2.5 kg dead cow and 6 bottles of red wine.

 

a t-shirt on sale in banana republic.

Did I mention it's tiny?

 

An 8x2 LCD screen 2 Humidity sensors and a 10 pack of RGB LEDs

 

A Prolimatech Megahalems! Wonderful cooler. And works quite well. Currently keeping my Q6600 at 52°C after 25 minutes of prime95

And it looks sexy

 

Are you running it passively? I did for a while just to see how it did and while I got amazing results, just adding a single super slow fan yields some serious gains with no extra noise. I also used to akasa vipers on full speed just to test, that was quite loud haha.

 

No, I posted this picture because I love the look of it
Running it with a Scythe Kama Flow 900RPM fan. Very quiet, I'd say.
Temperature-wise, I'm seeing 55°C after 45 minutes of prime95

 

I stole the midgard front and rear 120s for use on my cpu cooler It's a truly awesome case.

 

She should feel lucky I like her enough not to make her pay for it

 

A cheap and nasty 8 port switch, its doing its job though so no complaints yet.

 

Some switches for a 5.25", very easy cutting and looks alright for now I think.

 

Boxfresh trainers:


2 SoulCal hoodies (damn you buy one get one free)

And a cheap HD webcam

It's been an expensive week!

 

Bunch of micro controllers in various sizes (manly for output pin count rather than resource count)
A bunch of prototyping boards.
Various capacitors and over 2000 resistors.
8 2600mAh AA batteries.
25 555 timers.

Next up is something to store them in. I might end up building some drawers as the commercial storage options are so overpriced.

Hmm maybe I should stop spending my entire pay on electronics.

 

Bought my Rampage III Gene this morning, lovely motherboard!

now I just hope my CPU cooler fits in the case :S

A £1.99 notebook from Smiths:



After a little work with a stanley knife and some glue:

 

Ha ha! Very nice! Have some rep.

 

200 by 250 cm projector screen material for my room. A regular, finished screen of that size costs close to 2000 DKK, I got the material for 450 DKK, and then I just have to make my own frame.
I'm thinking about buying 500 LED's and incorporating them in the sides of the screen. Would create and awesome experience when watching movies.
