Just snagged one of these, I'm excited to finally spoil myself with refresh rates of over 60 Hz.

welcome to the future

[EHW Ai]

^^^well here's a blast from the past:

 

Posted it over on the other site; figured I'd post it here too.

 

Not quite a Kill-A-Watt meter, but it predates even me and will be used in my project. It's a completely restored 1926 Westinghouse OB electric meter that actually works. Not here yet, but should be before the holiday next week:

 

 

Comes with new copper seals as well.

Sure. I'll use it to keep track of the alternating current used by certain circuits in my project. 

 

Hope that helps.

Nice choice, I can speak to the reliability a d performance of those drives, they are great.

[KSIMP88]

Good, cause one of my 2TB drives went ti.... Belly up. I suddenly found myself with a 500GB nVME and a single 2TB drive. Need moar.

 

The old drive was an ST2000DM001. Junk. Decent spec though, 7200rpm, 64mb cache. 

 

Looking forward to 256mb cache! Wish I could afford a couple 2TB nVME drives, gen 4. 5000Mbps+

My brother ordered a 5950x too, just to mess with me and my 3950x
I have to build the system for him, so I'll try to swap the cpu's without him knowing..

Haha ! Sneaky...of course as a member of the PCMR I cannot support this

 

Upgraded the system today with the 5950X which is harder when I have to remove the entire mobo to do it due to the full coverage WC block lol.

ESP LTD EC-10 

 

Black Friday Sale only $162 shipped.  It's crazy!  It's so nice.  Sure it's probably built by Chinese slave labor...but they did a hell of a job. 

I was tired of having a floyd rose tremolo...it's just a pain in the ass and I suck anyway, plus after seeing that original Ibanez RG550's are selling for more than what they originally cost new, I don't want to mess mine up..so hopefully I can sell it.  

 

This EC-10 is perfect for playing Rocksmith.

 

[Supercrumpet]

Ordered two sets of sleeved cables from CableMod.

I don't know much about guitars, but my brother likes to play Rocksmith too. 
That one looks good though

Nice, they have some pretty nice stuff!

New CPU unit.

[axipher]

[Bastiaan_NL]

@Andrew Which one?

@axipher What's that for?

 

I ordered a new PSU for the main system, so the one that's in there can go in the second system replacing the 10 year old HX850w PSU. I don't like having that PSU running 24/7 anymore..
And I also ordered an ADATA 1TB XPG Gammix S70 M.2 SSD. I don't need it at all but that's what you get if you have a few days off... It's rated at double the read and write compared to my Gigabyte Aorus PCIe SSD, let's see if that's true. The M.2 will be the main drive and the PCIe will be the second drive, gives me a bit of room for the stupid large games.

It's a 5800x, I also bought 16GB more RAM.

Got 2x of these kits for 64Gb

This little kit: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B085HB3781

 

Using it to add some temperature and humidity monitoring to my server rack.  It's working great so far, so might pick up a few more to monitor each room in the house and maybe tie them in to some solenoids and relays to control some dampers and fans via some insulated ducts through the attic to get some better air movement around the house.  We have no central air and just electric baseboard heat and ceiling fans.

Had a bit an accident late last winter with my single burner lantern, so I gave my self an early Xmas present. 

 

NEMO Sonic 0

 

[axipher]

Not a bad little Xmas present at all.  I replaced the stock head lights bulbs in my 2012 Cruze as an early Xmas present, not that I'll be driving anywhere with a COVID lock-down though...

New chair. I love it. $180. Did an unboxing and initial review. I plan to give a more in-depth critical review at a later date, once I find some things I don't like about it.
