Lightsaber

I've been interested in getting one of these after seeing a few mentions. Fancy doing a quick review when you've had a chance to get used to it? See if it lives up to the hype?

How bizarre? Is that a modern Mick Dundee blow torch?

Is there not a chance that someone will just steal that? Looks expensive

If it gets nicked, they replace it free of charge, and there's a lifetime guarantee on that. It indicates to me that they're quite hard to nick. You need to fit it using a little proprietary screwdriver, so I'd imagine that helps.

replacing my 4 year old (slightly used and repaird with gorilla glue) headphones with some 712Pros think I'm going to be keeping these for a while

My AKG K550 pads just shattered overnight at some point. Very upsetting. Can't find replacements easy either.

Snap. Thoughts on whether you're going to run wirelessly or wired?

Pretty much. My PC is upstairs in the spare room but I'm using it to play games downstairs if the boys are around or whatnot.

The sound output on this thing is absolutely mind blowing.

Trackday voucher for christmas meant I needed a set of leathers, as I normally wear textiles. Headed down to J&S this morning and came out with leather jacket, trousers and a set of new boots as mine were falling to pieces All excellent modelled here by yours truly

Took them for a test ride, and while the boots will definitely take some time to get used to, leathers are comfortable

very nice kitt, but I think it might be wasted. any track day I've been on require one piece leathers only, and a gold stamped lid oc.

After doing some extensive research into quiet PC fans since I already had Corsair Air series which are quiet anyway, I came across the Nanoxia DS 140mm (non PWM). Never heard of the brand before, but QuietPC.com members rate them highly, and they're German. cheaper than anything high end from Corsair and other brands... Good enough for me.

They push good air, and are nearly 10dB quieter than my Corsair Air series 140mm fans. I'm using no sound absorption feet with these and they are so quiet that the whole PC is making less noise than a high end laptop.

6700K @ 4.5GHz at ~26 degrees idle? Yes please!

Consider me now a Nanoxia and Phanteks convert.

How is the sound levels when gaming?

Anova precision cooker wtf can you not cook a steak like.

Have you ever eaten anything cooked sous vide?

Not necessarily a PC you could do that but main purpose is streaming to a TV

I'll let you know once I've tried both

Slightly louder, but still quiet.

I was under the impression from reviews that don't even bother with the wireless.

Go wired or go home

Hmmmm, might have to give these a go - Something OcUK could stock?

e; Although, it seems as if my CPU sits about 25 at idle @ 4.6

Yeah depends on the response times I guess, if they're that bad then it'll have to be traditional wired

But hey then I can actually make use of those powerline adapters I have lying around
