I remember paying £120 a meg for upgraded memory. My first dual speed cd drive cost £375.

In fact my whole pentium 60 pc cost £2,400 in 1991/2 ish from memory which would be £3,600 in today's money :O

ANd people complain about the price of 1080 cards? sheesh

That's one heck of a paper round you worked.

I have a very well paid job for my age and as such I've been able to save up a bit of money. The new build houses at the moment only need a 5% deposit under the Help To Buy scheme.

Just don't forget the furniture, bro.

For the first few months there isn't going to be much furnite, just the basics (bed, couch etc) and the rest is going to be bought over the coming months. I'd rather buy as I go and be debt free than take out a loan to outfit the house.

Nice one.

How many rooms, garage, garden size?

3 bedrooms, unfortunately no garage on my build

. The ones with garages were an extra £25k I think which I couldn't afford. I don't have any measurements for the garden, but going off the pictures I have I'd guess at least 7m x 13m.

Hard to pass up for £110. The resolution is great. Lovely screen and very good pixel density. The only time I've noticed poor scaling was with the uninstall menus when removing some of the bundled bloatware.

New or second hand? Is that the Click?

My first computer had 64KB of memory and cost £325 in the 80s.

Ah the good* old days

*bad.

Refurb, as new. Yes it's the click 10.

My haul for my collection from france last week...

A Teeshirt i've bought especially for my holiday to Ibiza, it's in spoiler tags as it's slightly NSFW

Liking that Bob's Burgers poster. I can't watch the show though as I'm always immediately reminded of Archer.

One of my pet hates as well. The "4K" marketing tools are to blame, it's too late now.

Not this again.

If you can't work it out by now then you never will. Now post something that you bought today.

UHD! The completely objective way to look at it is that the K means thousand, and 3840 isn't 4 thousand.

Right then -
"There were 126 of us living in a shoe box in the middle of t'road".

I remember swopping my 8 meg of memory & £400 in cash for 16 meg of memory. My PC flew.
One of my first PC graphic cards was £160 for 256k of memory.

Speakers and receiver for when I move into my own place.

What the glob, didnt think those bad boys were out yet! May get one if they do them in black flavour.

Not the SSDs but the plastic contraption meaning I can fit both in single 3.5" drive bay.

I was considering a new case but this was much cheaper.
