Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

The room was chilly okay, it doesn't usually have this problem.

Bit broken...

Yes, this is the 3rd replacement for 2 controllers purchased in Feb this year.

As you can imagine I am impressed by the Microsoft quality control

This one is brand new and was only opened today, wasn't even used!

Yet the stick is stuck...?

Baller status confirmed! You can never have too much flash

 

[Nate--IRL--]

What array are you going to house them in?

Hehe

Putting together a new home dev server. These are for a 10 disk Raid-10 array with 1 spare drive. Ordered a Dell R640, although that hasn't arrived yet:

2x Intel Xeon Silver 4114 (10C/20T) 2.2GHz Base 3.0GHz Boost
160GB RAM
2x 250GB Samsung 970 NVMe (R1)
10x 1TB Crucial MX500 (R10)
PERC H740P w/ 8GB NV Cache
Broadcom 57412 - 2x SFP+ & 2x 1GbE

Got a decent rack & UPS too... only reason I'm refreshing is because current server is on its way out and I don't think the relatively frequent power cuts we get out here help.

What array are you going to house them in?

Nate

Server has 10x 2.5" bays.

Nice, should be a flyer. We recently added 8 SSD to our 56 disk array, the boost in performance was impressive. Going All flash will be lightning fast.

This was given to me so it's cheating a bit but this is a piece of carbon fibre from a BAC Mono which a mate kindly cut in to a mouse mat

And to go with the new computer, a new desk. Ikea desk comfortable for two of us. Messy as its been a day but will look good in a couple of days. Looking to get a couple of new monitors, monitor arm, new mouse mats, a new keyboard and some cable management. OCD has been going overtime with the shocking cable management under the desk.

And the case for my new computer! I am going to move it so we can see the glorious insides but for now, it will do.

Edit: Now with smaller pictures...

If it's one of the particle board desks I'd be very cautious of how much weight you're going to put on it and I wouldn't dare put a monitor arm on, those things destroy particle board over time and you end up with a chunk of desk missing and at worse a broken monitor

As you’re spanking so much anyway, Why not just create a server in Azure? No risk of power or hardware failures.

Good to know! I didn't think about that. Its a light desk so I guess its cheap board. I think in this case I will stick to monitor stands, just make them the same.

If you remember the name of the desk you can check on Ikea website what it's made out of and if it has a rated weight loading, I think the cheaper ones are around 40kg weight so it should be okay for a couple of monitors and a pc but I wouldn't go much over that

Another controller addition, played street fighter on a pad for years and decided to give this a go. Feels kind of odd almost as if you're "disconnected" from your character compared to a pad. Not sure what it is, might just be small movements are easier on a pad compared to a stick. Charge characters work well with it, getting consistent dragon punches is gonna take a while .

Can't complain for £35, solid little stick.
