Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])
- Thread starter Zefan
- Start date
Scored big time last night - I needed a quick cheapie case for my homeless i7 4790k spare parts. I am going to mount it above a screen to run the cycling software (Zwyft? no idea). Cue giddy excitement when I saw the case I pined over 20+ years ago. I ended up with a PC7A so I wasn't far off, but this beast always appealed to me with its sheer size.
Looks to be in mint condition other than a couple of fan holes cut into the side; which I coincidentally did to my PC7A too. £17.99 later and she's home
This will join my Lian Li PCA05B which has been a sturdy bit of kit for a very long time too.
I loved Lian Li cases back when I used to build systems, finished with a PC343B (I think that was the model number, the big cube one). For me they were the natural successor to the Coolermaster Praetorian.
Coffee canister thingy, some scales and a pressure adjustable tamper (was £10), oh, and some coffee to go with my new Sage.
Yeah, ok, it seems you were correct
Baby steps though before I bankrupt myself
Is the canister one of those ones that vent? Looking at canisters to store the beans for the machine I've bought my other half for Christmas. Came across one on Amazon that claims beans need to vent to keep a humidity range but I have no idea if it's a load of guff or not.
Picked these up on Amazon germany for £300 delivered - I know the next version will be out soon but have had an eye on these for a while - PX8's. They're replacing some XM3's - the noise cancellation isn't as strong but the sound is a great improvement.
I've been very tempted by these but I can't see them being better than my Momentum 3 for SQ. And being amazon Germany returns will be a pain.
Oops, I didn't realise OcUK sold headphones.
Ideally I'd like the Xtra Bass headphones, I like the warmer sound. I'm in half a mind to just replace the ear pads on my current headphones first, before buying another pair.
I can't fault Shark's warranty and support. If there's anything wrong with the machine, just call them up, do a quick video call to prove the fault and they'll send a replacement part out if it's in stock.Dyson V8 soft roller head died, any normal person would buy a new head.
Instead I used it to justify a new tech purchase.

Can highly recommend Pact and Rave for beans. Little more expensive than the likes of Union, but you end up with a significantly nicer cup of coffee. Even just using something like a Sage Bambino plus with the double wall basketCoffee canister thingy, some scales and a pressure adjustable tamper (was £10), oh, and some coffee to go with my new Sage.

Looking a new grinder myself, what model is this?A loud, whizzy, grindy thing. Replacing an ancient Rancilio Rocky grinder. Pretty chuffed with it!

The literal worst thing for someone like you. Please only use it for weighing yourself and don't let your autism latch you onto the make belief "health stats".Received my free promotional item from Samsung today, for purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra between 2 October 2024 - 31 October 2024.

They are often very inaccurate and ineffective other than just telling you your weight. If you're interested in health metrics get blood tests done and if you're REALLY interested in the nooks and crannies get a DEXA scan.
It's all subjective anyway.
Love the build and sound quality on these and very aesthetically pleasing and comfy. The XM3/4/5's will have better NC but they're a little flimsy for my liking.
Just playing around with the new scales, I’ve got a set of £20 Renpho scales and the results from that seem to be easier to read. One thing the Withings scales read which the Renpho doesn’t is heart rate but I get that on my watch anyway.
Not sure what’s so good about these scales to make them worth £180. I was happy enough with Renpho ones.

Well as long as you apply it pragmatically and don't get obsessed with some of the outputs it says.
Indeed it is, DF64 Gen 2. Good bit of kit and a good upgrade from my old one
Figured out how to change it to display stones instead of pounds, that’s a lot better.Well as long as you apply it pragmatically and don't get obsessed with some of the outputs it says.
