My gfx card with it's brand new cooler: Gigabyte Cyclops! I immediately installed it when I got it today, my temps dropped 10 in idle/25 when stressed (celsius)!

And it didn't cost anything near a zalman cooler. I paid 25 euros for it, shipping included. The cheapest zalman was that price. Without.

Another day, another purchase: 2 cd's, a dvd and a 2,5" portable hdd (I kind of broken my old one *sigh*) :unsure:

Nice gift! :)

 

The CD's are cool, the black one has less mainstream house on it, a real house-y feeling when you play it. The Heavenly House album contains more "music chart" material, with artists like Erick E, Fedde Le Grand, Junior Jack, Mylo, Cassius and Eric Prydz. Also nice listening music. Def. worth the 30 euro's I spent on them! :o

The remote is actually really easy to control. I'm an ace at the tennis :o

 

We have two remotes just now, but only one nunchuk because they're impossible to find. Hopefully one will turn up soon though.

what the heck is that...a mouse? lol, just realized it is...for a sec, because of the angle of the pic, I thought it was some sort of old schoo star trek communicator

 

:D

p.s. I'm a fan of the logitech mousies...quality stuff.

Me too. Had a MX 400, but I hated the wire (got stuck a lot) but wireless with chargers are quite expensive.

Thank god for one-day-online-offers! xD

2x SilverStone FN83

1x Zalman adapter

1x Sharkoon thumbscrews zilver

 

And now the new gear is bolted into my PC! After a lot of work, because the screws from the fans didn't work out with my CPU cooler, so I had to find others. Same prob with the fan I placed in my side panel, as the fan was 4mm too wide to fit in the holes already in it. Now my PC is finally as quiet as I wanted it to be!

@ Undone...I bought our Wii from Morrisons supermarket of all places and the assorted extra controllers and nunchucks. You are in the UK I think so maybe pop by a Morrisons Store :hugs:

That actually an analogue amp? Damn, they're getting hard to find.

Could be, I'm not that of a know-it-all in anything and especially not in audio. But this was a cheap one. Need to clean it though, the volume control crackles a bit between 2 and 5, so I guess I'll buy a toothbrush or smt to clean the pot meter...

 

Check second hand ones. I bought this nice little sweetness for €35.

Probably analogue then (rather than digital); make sure you use a proper potentiometer cleaner and don't use something like WD-40; as it will eat away at the metal.

I used a contact cleaner I found in the garage... It worked, no crackling anymore when turning the volume up or down.

 

Weird thing that remains is that it makes an odd noise (almost windows-error-like) when I turn it on for the first time after it's been off a while. What can that be? After turning it off and trying again, the noise is gone.

Probably a capacitor charging or discharging with the circuit.

Hmm OK... Well the cleaning only worked shortly... The pot meter went crackling again... *sigh*
