Called Three to cancel my mobile internet since I don't use it anymore, they offered to upgrade me to iPad 2 for free for £25 a month with the same Internet package am on now which is 15GB's per month.

Personally, I really hate Apple but I always wanted a tablet and since I can't get a Samsung Tab 10.1, I just make do with this.

Also three new Sata Power cables, already brought two pairs which was the wrong version, third time lucky!
 
Been on a bit of a spending spree this week.

New car battery.

ROG Vulcan headphones as my old Sennheisers are kaput.

WD Live NAS drive. Been meaning to get one for ages.

WDTV to stream all the stuff from the NAS (also Netflix etc).

Kindle 3. Already have the keyboard one but this one is small enough to fit completely inside the side pocket of my trousers when traveling.

Media keyboard for media PC.

Homeplug thingies for streaming into the living room.

Network switch for the living room.

Instead of the 2 four socket ones - built in surge protection too.

A few bits and bobs.

Asus Transformer Prime. Not had much of a chance to play with it yet but seems excellent. I have an iPad 1 but I wasn't impressed enough with the iPad 2 or 3 to upgrade so I upgraded to an Android device instead ;)

Asus RT-N56U Black Diamond router. Had to order this today. The WD Live NAS allows me to access my files remotely but it won't be much use when the crappy router Virgin supplied keeps crapping out. I have to reboot it every couple of days which isn't much use when I'm away at work for a month at a time.

Finally, some stuff for the kitchen.

Set of big mixing bowls, a couple of woks (which I spent most of the afternoon seasoning - not easy seasoning woks on a ceramic hob), omelette/pancake pan and a Philips HR1372 Hand Blender to replace the 2 crappy cheapo things I had.

Just a bit!
 
Picked up a Dell U2410 today to replace my old Samsung 904BW and dedicate the Hazro 24" as a portrait monitor for reading magazines, websites etc. It's SO much nicer reading vertically I can't stress it enough!

Undecided yet on which one I prefer though, both are IPS but I've had the Hazro since 2008~ and am used to it's colours and glossy panel even though they're both calibrated to the same levels now there is a slight difference (matte vs glossy screen, LED backlight vs CCFL).

Still, for £250 it's pretty damn awesome for features and picture quality.
 
Stan_Lite. Shame on you. I saw a post of yours, and got excited to see what interesting whiskies you've bought. And then you show us bloody car batteries! Grr! :p

The tidyness of your desk continually manages to annoy me :)

Thoughts?

Is it better than what you had before? How are the buttons - easy to reach, comfortable to use?

Thanks.

Ye sooo much better then the g7 I had, I was worried about the buttons as well but they are excellent and easy to reach! Its also comfortable

If you want to see whisky Alex then check out my first post on the first page of this thread. Only bought the small bottle and it errrr didn't last too long. ;)
 
Good stuff Sonea Fifer! I should have put my purchase up when commenting on Stan. I don't have a camera I'm afraid, so it'll have to be a picture from the internet. Bought these today:
