Nerdy Awesome shit you bought!

[caLLous]

Ballsy buying such an e xpensive card then voiding the warranty straight away

Ballsy and/or stupid, but I bought it knowing what I'm going to do to it and it doesn't look like a complicated operation. And it's the only way I have a chance of getting it in my case. I just love the fact that it's going to a single slot card with the block on it. Credit to AMD for putting all of the outputs on one row.

Oho, DSD - thats the same format as used on SACDs - does it do multichannel?

I needed a new router as we are having fibrewifi installed this week - hoping for 15 Mbps up and down, which is about as good as it gets where I live - so I stumped up for one of these routers that looks like a drone - hopefully should get a good bit of range around the house

I don't think it does multichannel chum. Only analogue 2 channel outs on this one.

Whats the n rate. Mines only 300. I see it can go higher.

And how much.

If i can ger a higher n rating than 300. I might upgrade

I bought two girly nerdy things in the last 24 hours... New Raybans and a medium honore 404 longchamp bag
The bag although costly is seriously superb

I'm not really sure (its still in its packet as the fibre guys cancelled today) - the 2.5 GHz band can transfer up to 600 Mbps according to Netgear - I think that might be wireless n - but you know, all of these numbers by the manufacturers are lies and not real world - they are £183 on Amazon

Oh and 1TB Samsung 850 SSD for my desktop.

 

[Scouse]

The bag although costly is still a bag

But then I hold my shorts up with string

 

[Yoni]

Interesting @Scouse you obviously have little idea about quality leather items.... Although you spend ridiculous amounts on bicycle parts... And to me (don't kill me @TdC) a bike is just a bike

I'm with Yoni

 

[Exioce]

Got the gf a Dell XPS 13
4k screen on a 13" laptop is nuts.

Edge to edge screen means it has the dimensions of a regular 11" laptop, very cute.

 

[old.user4556]

Oh, I like it.

 

[Wij]

Oh, I like it.

So do I but I thought I'd try a Mac for a change. The XPS's aren't exactly cheap either

 

[old.user4556]

Joking aside, the build quality and craftsmanship of the Macbook is delicious.

You'll still get a hard time here though .

BURN THE WITCH

Jag ska döda dig @TdC men ....

 

[Bodhi]

Got a lovely pair of sunglasses from work as a reward for generally being awesome, from a brand I've never tried - Maui Jim. Always been an Oakley kind of guy, but I must say, these things are lovely. Comfy with Polarised lenses, I can almost see more with them on than without.

New MacBook

I have been using mine since before Christmas and it is fantastic. Thanks to your other post I am just upgrading to Office 2016 as well

 

[Overdriven]

Mmmm.. Poor pic quality =/ Corsair SP2500s

 

[caLLous]

Is there anything Corsair don't make nowadays? It used to be a mark of quality - stuff like memory and PSUs (even though they don't manufacture the latter I don't think) - but now they seem to slap their name on anything. They could be great speakers it just seems like they have diversified a hell of a lot.
