Title: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on October 11, 2009, 03:45:35 PM
Being idle on a Sunday, as the topic says...what was the last purchase you made and why did it deserve your hard earned cheddar?


I'll start...Just ordered off amazon.com

Xbox 360 Wireless Headset  US$46.49 and a Universal Component Video cable (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360)   US$19.99

The first is to cuss redlum, w1ntry, czar, ago and others all the more clearly online while sweating halo odst.

The second piece of kit is to connect all my other consoles to the LCD. Got the 360 and PS3 sharing an  HDMI cable at the moment.

Purchased Audiosurf (http://www.audio-surf.com (http://www.audio-surf.com)) off Steam.

Fun little game, tons of replay value (as much replay as songs you have on your PC), depending on the track, it can really test reaction time...

Oh, and it was US$4.99 (50% off) :D

Tech wise:

Nah, we does make a better pepper roti here at home....and $15 for a piece of pepper roti? LOL! We could make 2 whole pepper roti for that price. :D

My sis did buy a slice though, and she said it had a decent amount of pepper this time around, so it was better than what she got last time.

laertes, you win the thread with that Star Trek model yes, lol.

Now THAT would be a christmas present I wouldn't mind receiving.

Blu_Vice, the surround sound really working with that headset? I'm very curious. A surround sound head phone setup could be on my santa wish list.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Arcmanov on November 03, 2009, 11:38:43 PM
I had the 'little brother' version to that Ax Pro...the AX 360.  Surround sound worked like a charm with solid bass too,
but the headset itself couldn't stand up to the many sweats I put it through.  It eventually broke after a year
and a half of constant use.

I've had that AX Pro in my cart for months now, but I just can't see the cheddar to buy it.

There are cheaper alternatives which work just as good, but where the AX Pro wins is the wealth
of connectivity options, and everything you need to connect to the Xbox 360, or PS3 is included.
Hence the price premium...but its totally worth it.  The extra situational awareness gained cannot be quantified.

If you can't afford that though...there's always this (http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-TBS2114-Earforce-Headphone/dp/B001BS4YAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257295776&sr=8-1).

Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Arcmanov on November 04, 2009, 01:47:00 PM
Not out of the box, but you can connect if you have one of these...

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21uswx0eHJL.jpg)

You can't use voice though, but you can use your Xbox mic, and enable
the 'play through both' voice option, so you can hear voice chat, and talk.

For PS3 voice input, you will need one of these (http://www.amazon.com/SIIG-CE-S00012-S2-USB-Soundwave-Rohs/dp/B000IF2EHE/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257356561&sr=8-10)...

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31B1Ys3PwlL._SL500_AA280_.jpg)



Works pretty well for me, so I can recommend it.  :)

Post by: woodyear99 on November 04, 2009, 02:00:15 PM
Hmm is there a loss in sound quality using these adapters? Will the Ax Pro have much better audio quality or is it only really noticeable to audiophiles?
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on November 04, 2009, 02:01:51 PM
It was interesting to hear one review actually rate up the Turtlebeach over the AX pro, having owned both.

Considering it is so much cheaper, I think that is where the smart money lies.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: ViCe on November 06, 2009, 05:41:50 AM


the surround sound on the Pros bess
u can adjust EACH (as in front, center, rear and sub) channel volume invidually
u can also adjust chat and game volume seperately.

another positive is u dont hav to buy anything else once u bought it
no adapters nothin
it comes with everything u need to work with ps3, 360 and pc and seein as u game on all 3 win for u lol

BUT the MAIN reason i bought these was because the 'T' (tritton logo) at the side lights up wen its on that shit is kool, automatic buy!!!! lol jk
but it does really light up :)

Blu_Vice, the surround sound really working with that headset? I'm very curious. A surround sound head phone setup could be on my santa wish list.

to answer this question
YES it works perfectly
1st time i had it on i was tellin my padna how wen we was playin uncharted i hear a noise behind me and i turn around actually thinkin some1 was in d room lol (had it loud btw)

gotten accustomed to it now
but yea wen i playin uncharted i hear if gunfire coming from left, right, front or behind
im usually the 1 alerting them where the action taking place

only game i aint try it in is cod but seein as ppl rely on sound way more in cod this go b a man's secret weapon in cod

dead silence? (ninja pro in mw2) yuh hearin dat on the headsets
not as loud as regular footsteps but u do hear them

oh btw if d review u checked out of the pros talked about 2 power adapters needed not anymore dat was long time
the pros i hav hav a different mic an only one adapter needed to power both headset and decoder box

lol @ being a pauper in december
 not u alone nah studyin wheter to take d 360 in december one time
if i can get xbl one time then ah might catch a vaps an jus order it an dun

also if d pros too much for u it has the AX 720 for $130US
newer surround sound headset from tritton
but doesnt hav the 4 speakers in each cup instead it has jus 1 in each cup and uses virtual surround sound technology (dont be discouraged this is da same thing arc dream headsets ah show him the Astros A40 use)

http://gear.ign.com/articles/994/994069p1.html (http://gear.ign.com/articles/994/994069p1.html)
AX 720/900 review
both headsets are identical in terms of sound quality but the more expensive AX 900s jus hav a few more inputs which in all honesty might not even be of use to u.

one problem tho......the AX 720 can only be bought at Best buy for now and i couldnt order cuz i didnt hav a US cc
so if u goin with these u wud need to send d money to some1 away
for them to buy it for u and send it down for u

he was using courts as an example retailer, also, i believed you missed his real point, the warranty.

and i agree with him 100%, unless i would be saving a crazy-ass markup i'd rather pay a lil 10-20% more on an item and have a claimable warranty over the course of a few yrs than have none and regret it if something happens.

Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: ViCe on December 20, 2009, 12:19:16 PM
Indeed @ warranty, that's the deal sealer/breaker with me more often than not. Is your preference buying online, or buying foreign? In other words, if local retail chains offered an online purchasing solution, would you buy from them?

foreign cuz i get the better deals when i buy away anyway
computers, games, PSN cards along with other stuff

if i see sumting online an check d price an decide to buy down here is more often i hadda multiply d US number by 10
das alot
last time i check courts to see they ps3 price (jus for kix) it was 4000+ das jackass money  spendin
wen i paid 2500 total for everything wen i ordered d slim for my cousin from amazon
lets not even go there with computers/parts
paid $1000TT for my ex 500GB hdd dat was before i got my skybox
i cud get a 1.5TB ex HDD for less than that (around 100-130US)

buyin certain stuff down here jus doesnt make sense imho
now d tv thing i understand that 1, but is not a big 55" expensive LED tv
jus something small (prefer to game on smaller tvs) to enhance my gaming experience cuz this SD aint cuttin it no more lol
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on December 20, 2009, 12:34:53 PM
I'd say anything under US$1000 with a small form factor is an easy buy online.

Over that and with considerable size, the mileage begins to vary dramatically and the local warranty might prove valuable.

There are items (a portable air condition unit for example) that actually costs less here in Pricesmart than it would if purchased online and delivered through a skybox.

Same would apply to some big TV 52" and so.

A small, light TV (32") costing US$500 should be a safe bet imo.

and blu-vice, did you go with a 26" LCD with HDMI (and no TV turner) like I did? If so you'd get a steal of a deal as it classes under Monitors which carry no vat and duty.

TVs that get level charge (unless the customs officer is feeling the spirit of Christmas lol)

At 26 inches...what is available here costs too much...yes, I did the research.
A good 1080p TV at that size costs about $7000 TT.  Not cool.

Even with shipping and Customs charges, I'm sure a 26-inch shouldn't cross $5000.

both had all the connections i was lookin for ......component, s-video and pc input

When was the last time anyone bought a new game online ? (not checking direct to system delivery)

Modern Warfare 2 for the 360 is $60 usd, pay for standard shipping and it should be $65 usd, That comes up to just under $420 TTD, and we have not even factored the skybox/customs cost.... The game is selling @ Jk entertainment for $475 TTD.

ME!!!!!
jus d other day GOW collection
420TTD? u sure? i hav amazon prime so is free shippin for me so da price is around 378TTD IF i takin a brand new game at full price

if i takin tekken 6 i buyin away cuz i takin d LE (79US lat time i check) an d price for that down here does b ridiculous.
sheltech was sellin d mw2 prestige for 2Gs+..........madness
d sfiv arcade stick was 2500 by them too

brand new games that cost 50-60US on amazon i buy down here UNLESS i gettin a pre order special.

other than that i get new games cheap from amazon
paid 25US for GTAIV new,
right now i cud pick up Far Cry 2 brand spankin new for 15US on amazon last time i checked
i does do my lil research before i jump out an buy a game

take infamous and prototype both i had initially wanted but said i go take infamous 1st an proto price will drop significantly in d very near future and it did

if u buyin a game that jus hit d shelves, is best u buy down here but for games a few months old i sure u cud get it cheap on amazon dependin on wat d game is

60 x 6.3 = 378

65 x 6.3 = 410

like i said IF i buy a 60USD game online is not more than d normal price down here i payin for it, i did it with kz2, u2, blazblue, infamous havent paid higher than standard price down here wen it came down an i did the math

bought gow collection online too cuz i had a feeling stores down here wud try an rob yuh an charge full price wen in fact d game is 36US

same ting i gonna do with SSF4 (if i buy) cuz i know men down here gonna charge full price for that

lucky man, you get to game uninterrupted. lol

As for the Amazon Prime, it costs US$79.00 ANNUALLY.

That's a lot for shipping. Easily the price of two good games.

I'm low on patience too and definitely see the "value" in 2 day shipping (use the prime service myself) but highlighting the cost to aid Larutus's arguments....you can't say your games are coming in with free shipping when you're actually paying US$79.00 annually.

Be fair to the local suppliers. They aren't "robbing" us by charging fair market value on games.

Proxy bypassers wont work since steam checks the card's registered address against the billing information you've submitted. Once the cc dont match the country you've selected is instant rejection.

Keep in mind that a lot of those 'deals' you seeing locally (quite a few in the papers) are for 720p TVs eh...not 1080p.

A lot of people running them down without really understanding what they're paying for.

Just as a follow up on this Arc.

Here are today's prices for screens @ PriceSmart.

32" Toshiba 720p: $4299.00
37" Viore 1080p: $4999.00
40" Sony Bravia 1080P: $8399.00
52" Sony Bravia 1080p: $14,999.00
55" Toshiba Regza 1080p: $16,999.00

Any better deals? Might be in the market for one in a couple months (birthday) and wanna go local.

Hmmm...based on what it would cost to ship/clear the 37 and the 40 inchers...those prices are rather good,
and at least you get some kind of warranty from PriceSmart, as opposed to an online purchase.

I say if you can afford it, buy it from PriceSmart and done.

yeah arc, that's what I'm thinking too. I know CircuitZone has some sets as well. Will try to rounds up the prices to compare. Anyone else seeing deals on these around the place?

Awesome, won't the Viore have the 1080p res for your PC once you go through its HDMI port? (DVI to HDMI adapters, etc...)
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Spazosaurus on January 25, 2010, 06:07:29 PM
Not necessarily.

The panel itself must be able to support the resolution.

1080p video res does not necessarily mean 1080p computer resolution.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 25, 2010, 06:16:28 PM

Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Spazosaurus on January 25, 2010, 06:21:13 PM
Because pc resolution and video resolution are two very different beasts.

Trust me, the tv will know the difference between a pc signal and a non pc signal.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 25, 2010, 07:58:09 PM
I'm thoroughly confused.

I thought the only time the screen differentiated between the two was when you used the analog VGA cable?

Once coming through HDMI, it shouldn't matter.

Not usually one to doubt a tech master like yourself but you certain of what you saying capitan?

Did some digging on that monitor and apparently its a 1920x1200 native res, but only 1440x900 HDTV

Really 16:10 masquerading as a 16:9 1080p. Not bad if you want a big monitor but less than ideal if watching HD movies is your gig as the image will be slightly distorted.

Read the user reviews here:

Interesting. Ive come across some units that boast 1080p but their pc resolution is 13x7.

Could be a mistake in their spec listing I guess.

It means they can accept a 1080p signal. They will then scale to its max resolution. This is why you must be educated about the tv or monitor u are purchasing because while it can accept a 1080p signal it will not show TRUE 1080p unless it can show 1920x1080.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Spazosaurus on January 25, 2010, 11:09:03 PM
So then it is possible to have a 1080p that has a resolution lower than 1920x1080 then. The TV then downscales the 1080p input to something the panel can handle.

In that case, its important to make sure that while its 1080p, the resolution is 1920x1080.

Did I get that right?
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 26, 2010, 07:39:57 AM
I think that's bordering on false advertising.

If a set says its 1080p the bloody thing should be native 1080p. Not "accept" 1080p signal and then down scale to a native 320x240 res. lol

At least this explains why some screens look different in quality in the shop when they both boast 1080p.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why

Had to jump through a LOT of hoops to get it working properly though, which included a firmware update.  Yes, you read that right (THANK YOU INNANETZ :lol:)

Now I'm pleased as punch, as I can wander into the next room and still have music blaring in my ears in wonderful stereo quality.

Not to mention, I can use it as a wireless headphones for my netbook.

If ever you're thinking about buying about one of these, make sure and talk to me first though.

Now hopefully I can get Battlefield Bad Company 2 installed on Sector 0, so it will load wickedly fast and I can blow up M-CoMs before anyone else spawns.

muhahahaha

Also, no more deleting stuff to make space to download more stuff for a while (maybe 3 months, lol)

Now just to sneak it in the house so the misses doesn't discover my wayward spending.

Brite-View CinemaTube (http://www.brite-view.com/cinematube.php)

Model no: BV-5005HD
(http://www.hdtvinfo.eu/pics/brite-View_CinemaTube.jpg)

Shortlist of features:

 - It supports multiple Video formats in VCD 1.0/2.0, SVCD, MPEG1 (DAT/MPG/MPEG), MPEG2 (MPG/MPEG/VOB/ISO/IFO/TS/TP)/M2TS, MPEG4 (MP4/AVI/MOV) , DivX 3/4/5/6, Xvid (AVI/MKV), H.264/AVC (TS/AVI/MKV/MOV)/M2TS, VC-1 (TS/AVI/MKV/WMV)/M2TS, WMV9 (WMV), FLV, Real Video 8/9/10 (RM/RMVB * up to 720p); multiple Audio formats including DTS and Dolby Digital.

 - It can play media files off USB storage devices (in NTFS, EXT-3, FAT and HFS+) or on computers connected to the same network.

 - It has build in UPnP support! See the Specifications tab for supported video formats.

 - It supports ISO files, so you can navigate the DVD menu and watch your videos like a regular DVD!

 - With built-in bit torrent support, you can share/download media files on the Internet and enjoy them on your TV, PC free.

 - It supports file sharing, so you can access your CinemaTube attached hard drive from the comfort of your computer.

 - Built in Flickr support lets you search for pictures via the Internet allowing you to show a variety of photos from your TV.


So far I've only used it for Wi-Fi video streaming.  Went through all 13 eps of Spartacus without a hitch.  As one file done,
the next one started.  No muss, no fuss.  Updated firmware twice since I got it...seamlessly over wi-fi.


If you buy this one (http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Set-CinemaTube-BV-5005HD-downloader/dp/B002WK4HSW/ref=pd_cp_e_1)...you get the wi-fi dongle recommended by Brite-View to work.


Best 120 US I ever spent.

You WANT this.  Full stop. :lol:

That is a real good price. What two games?

Arc, I been watching the Seagate FAT cut eye for some time. It looks very similar to that Brite View Cinema tube.

http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Theater-Player-STCEA201-RK/dp/B002MZZWT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272725958&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Theater-Player-STCEA201-RK/dp/B002MZZWT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272725958&sr=8-1)

Came highly recommend from Zebra (another techie padner) but I currently use a laptop to do "TV-Out" duties for movie watching in the living room. Running media center.

I get the feeling these aren't a superior option but a cheap alternative.

What sayest though?

Also, I heard tversity + the PS3 can achieve about the same streaming ability of this setup. Again, I get the inkling that a laptop does a better job (it is the most expensive of the three, so that figures)

Nice device. I bought the Xtreamer after Carnival and I'm loving it so far. Came with a free Wifi antenna too. I don't

really use it that much since I don't trust playing 1080p over wireless. Had any issues play any file files so far? Mine won't play

certain flv files that I downloaded online. I also won't play some of my old SD videos from Gametrailers (old vids from 2006-2007)

Interested in getting another media player. Got one of those WDTV ones a while back for the parents. Now looking for one to use with a few extra features such as wifi etc.

That Brite-View looks decent, noticed this "stream online contents like CBS, CNN, ESPN, Hulu etc from UPnP devices (with 3rd parties apps like PlayOn installed in computers). " have you played with any of those addons? Having that kind of flexibility could come in handy.

Why? because I realize it aint have no good flashlight in the house and over here in Tobago current tends to go a lil bit more often that it should...

Also we're in the hurricane season so won't hurt to have a wicked flashlight

how much it cost (total price including shipping if u shipped)
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Redfish on May 22, 2010, 07:24:31 PM
It's well worth it, it's like a little spot light.

Cost me around 560tt total, brought it down through my skybox.

Yes some may say that's a very expensive torchlight but if you do take the plunge and get one you won't regret it. Oh and it comes with a nylon pouch that has a velcro strat ALSO a hinge so you can use a clip to put keep it secure onto  say a backpack etc.

The reason why I like this one is that it has hard gold-plated contacts for the batteries, (yes fricking gold plated lol), speed focus from spot light beam to wide angle (thing can easily light up a pitch black  wide area/room with crisp white light) and the fact that it's an LED light mean quite a long life for this little devil

WTMC is what you will be saying when you see how bright it is or if I shine it in yuh eye lol

No this light is not for the average person who just want a simple lil light. This is a TACTICAL light, on the level that PO PO, SWAT etc.

I have use for it, if  you don't then obviously you won't even consider buying it, ent it?

Nice red. Forgot to post my 2 latest purchases.

Lifetime 6 foot folding table (http://www.buylifetime.com/Products/BLT/PID-22901.aspx) for the ultimate in lovely tech real estate. I could spread out the pc and display on a strong, sturdy surface.

Could also pile on any size screen I want, which brings me to the Toshiba REGZA 40XV645U 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-REGZA-46XV645U-46-Inch-1080p/dp/B001TOD3IM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275952747&sr=1-1) for the sole purpose of being a PC display. No cable tv is going to even smell this baby.

I said goddamn. I thought 28" was big, 40 is just insanity. Everything feels dwarfed by comparison.

Haven't got to use the 52" as a proper PC sweatin' screen yet. (will soon though)

lol @ lifetime 6 foot table. Remind me to give you a call when next the church having a bazaar and we need on for the cake sale booth.

Arcman, you can't go wrong with that z5300 for $600.00

Funny enough, picked up the Z5500 today for $1800.00 myself.

good:

- zero lag
- works plug n play with ps3 controllers (possibly madcatz ones too, i dont have PS3 controllers to test)
- no need of wired xbox 360 controllers for PS2 (the best!)
- All buttons and analogs sticks work very well, the useless analog button if pressed a few seconds calls the dash.

bad:

- Doesnt work with Saturn USB controller (i believe that it does not work with 3rdies compatible PS3 USB controllers (like Saturn USB that works on PS3.))

While I like the Blade mSR, I'm not prepared to spend that kind of cheddar on
a single craft.  Good lord...I can get FIVE S107 co-axials for the price of that ONE
Blade mSR.  I ain't ready to take that kinda plunge yet.  Call me cheap, but these

Well, first I heard of them was today. Was just browsing around and I came up with this. Must have watched about 200 watches (ha get it?) but anytime I saw one I liked, friggin 5kus, 2kus or some such ridiculous price. When I see this one and the price and the reviews I was like yeaaa.

I really cant vouch for the brand and although outside of Amazon there is little mention of it, the reviews there seem to be quite positive.

bought from ECS for our passat cuz the plastic ones that came with the car broke

be wary of ECS with these kinda parts cuz right after i ordered it they realized

they didn't have this particular kit again didn't inform me and sent me half the kit i.e. 2 carriers and the cable

but they gave me store credit when i reported it without much fuss...... so i guess it got balanced out

Post by: TriniXaeno on August 25, 2010, 05:09:47 PM
I am a little confused by the popularity of these devices.

So how do you get the media unto it?

Step 1) Download movie
Step 2) Copy Movie from PC to External Hard drive / Flash Drive
Step 3) Plug External Hard Drive / Flash Drive into Media Player

Seems a bit old school and involves some serious sneakernet if your computer isn't close to the TV.

And if the computer is close to the TV, why not just do TV out directly?

Its really hard to argue with that price though, for US$60.00 you replace an entire laptop in my HT setup.

Saving about US$500 right there. Though, you lose the coolness of being able to play games and browse the net on your TV (always great for showing friends/family a facebook album), direct streaming, etc...

Also, I shudder at the inclusion of yet another remote control in the living room after just managing to merge three into one earlier this week.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: phoenix31tt on August 25, 2010, 05:40:31 PM
well like most devices they have their fit...

i.e. PC across the room or separate portion of the house.. this would come in very handy...

or if you have some none tech savvy ppl in the house... who jus wanna press power on and play... u put that for them and update d drive ever so often or w/e
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on August 25, 2010, 05:51:20 PM
Yeah, for a static dump of vids and movies, it makes perfect sense.

Like you said, load it up with a ton of episodes and movies, connect it to the living room TV, and yuh good to go.

However, in reality, I find that media gets stale fast.....that is, you're always watching something new and fresh.

Which translates to a lot of running back and forth to update that box. Not my idea of a good time, lol

Throw in a network card / wifi on that baby and now it becomes a win win product.

Somehow I expect TVs will just add in network connectivity / usb support to their bevy of features and kill this market segment in the not too distant future.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: phoenix31tt on August 25, 2010, 06:58:44 PM
then again me and you might say it gettin fast cuz we always dlin... but some ppl download speeds kinda... lol suck.. so they cant dl fast enuff to be fresh...

but either way i agree... network card/wifi makes the product a win... specially if it was 60 bucks lol

TV in a separate room, have my own home office, was gonna build a HTPC, but this is a lot smaller

can connect a external hard drive, so you can have 1tb plus of video

transferring takes a lot less time than encoding and burning a dvd

Media players without network capabilities don't make much sense IMO. I own an Xtreamer and I have it connected via an

ethernet connection to my router. All I do is share the folders with my media over the network and the Xtreamer plays it.

Networking makes thing a lot more convenient.

@ Cap, nice one there man but I'd let you know I still have the same batteries in my light after using it (yes I have had it on to the point where I got fed up of having it on trying to kill the batteries) so.....If these batteries make it past the end of the year, I'm buying another light like it lol

Ahh boy. Big Chinook is the flick. Let me warn you it is quite a bit harder to fly than the s107's. It requires almost constant trimming.

Wind is not its friend so if you going outdoors, make sure than breeze isnt blowing too hard else it going to have a mind of its own.

where u get these figures from?

not everything that not classed as a computer component gets u full duties and vat... and also the last time i check.. max duties does max @ 15% and tax at 15% as well... (their are exceptions to certain things of course, but they dont fall into the range of what we order)

but usually items that get tax/duties usually range from about 10-20% put together... i've been ordering products for awhile and i usually get my estimated shipping costs to within a few dollars...

Electronic devices (the PS3 is classified as such) attract a 20% duty, and 15% VAT charge.

Different shipping companies use different methods to calculate the final price in fees that you would pay when you bring in a PS3.  If you buy one for $400 US, then expect to pay in the region
of about $800 TT in freight/VAT/duties.  I recently brought in a PS3 slim for my brother, so
I know of what I speak, so if you getting a PS3 for $2500 TT, I say RUN...don't walk to get one.

that was the last thing I bought
and I feel like a real clown.
according to the box I got from PRW I thought it was the regular CM 690 and not the advanced version.
I mean I am grateful that I got one anyway because the air is flowing properly in my case, but I was now on amazon and I stumbled on this to realise that I bought the advanced version for a cheaper price than what I WOULD have had to spend at circuit zone  :lol:
That was rediculous. But I love my case it runs nice. All I need is two more fans and it's complete. Gonna buy another one next year for my new DDR3 system.
Again thank all you guys (Kaizen, netizen, etc.) for helpin' me to get this. I saved a wad of cash  :mellow:

Bought an xbox 360 break away cable (lost mine and its necessary for my FPS Max Shooter keyboard/mouse adapter to work with the Xbox 360).

Needed this for some Halo Reach action this weekend.

Second buy was a PS2-PS3 adapter to hook up my Sega Saturn PS2 gamepad to the PS3 for Super Street Fighter IV.

Apparently my old faithful mayflash dual PS2-USB adapter didn't do the trick for the PS3. The d-pad wasn't responding. Works fine with this puppy though.

Can you tell with a degree of certainty, where gun fire is coming from in a game? Front, rear, left, right, etc...?

Left and right, certainly. Top or bottom, diagonally, 4th dimention no.

What this headset Can do though is be comfortable after hours and hours of use. And the sound quality and clarity is beyond anything ive ever used.

Granted, my headset experience is limited as the only other one ive used is the Turtle Beach Ear Force, I can say this headset it LOADS better than that all round.

The TB does look more impressive and sturdy but comfort and sound (and mic quality) is top notch.

The best part is that it doesnt require a sound card. This cuts one expense from my next upgrade. I will use onboard sound for loudspeaker use. Headset gets 90% of the action anyway.

5.1 Gaming on PC, Xbox, PS, etc. It WIN

Unlike practically ALL other gaming headsets, this has Analog 5.1 support as well as your Dolby Dig 5.1 It supports Optical and Coax out and it's not USB based (save for the mic on the PC). No driver needed and it also works with my Xbox 360 which was the main selling point. with 1 headset i've not attained 5.1 Digital Audio AND it supports XBL chat so all I ever need now is just my headset. No wireless headsets and speakers to make noise. Also I can control 4 different channels on the headset as it has 4 different speakers in each ear. Here's the technical overview:

Features:

• 5.1 channel headset

• 8 speakers (4 in each ear piece)

• Digital, in-line volume control

• High end amplifier

• Independent, illuminated volume adjustment for each channel and master volume

• Detachable microphone with QuickOn connection

Features (SCU):

• Supports Dolby® Digital 2.0, Dolby® Digital 5.1 and Dolby® Pro Logic®

• Supports the chat function of PS3®, Xbox® and Xbox® 360

• Dynamic Range Control

well I think they are the first one to have the GTX 460 2 gig edition. I had a palit card before when I had an AGP system (6600 GT) and it was good
and I did my homework on google. It got some good disposition.
You had problems with Palit before?

Well, for the 460, 1gb or 2gb is going to make very very little difference.

Nothing is wrong with it, it seems to manage a few more frames at ultra high resolutions but you'd have gotten more performance from a factory overclocked 1gig card.

I actually just bid on and won a tritton ax pro. 96 canadian!

Actually in my search of the product best for me I was first considering the Turtle Beach Ear Force X41 but then I read this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874502005&Tpk=Ear%20Force%20X41 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874502005&Tpk=Ear%20Force%20X41) and I was like hmm so much for the Tritton and then I came across the Sharkoon and the fact that the X41 is simulated 5.1 I went with this instead. Amazon also has similar posts about the Tritton.

@ Wyatt, i'll listen out for the bullets whizzing over my head and let you know.

Update on the Jabra 200 Bluetooth Car speakerphone, did a test call with my sister (her using it while driving and called my cell while I was at home) it worked flawlessly.

She heard me clearly and I heard her without any probs. I do not think she had the window down but then again I think most ppl turn up the window when making a call while driving but that's another test to do.

It's got my approval, cause it actually works!! :P

Nokia N97 32gb Black (On the advice of woodyear)

Hehe nothing wrong with Symbian, it is a well established OS with an extensive library of apps. If you had gotten the N97 at launch you might not have been as impressed, real horror stories due to buggy initial firmware :p yuh good now tho:)

however, I had a symbian based phone back in the p900 days and loved it.

begrudgingly moved to blackberry because of company policy.

lol u answered your own question there this and the HD7 are the same

except for the HD7's surround speakers and from my experience with windows phones

and XDA I'll have a custom rom soon of WP7 but again i'll wait till they've ironed out

all the bugs and given WP7 it's full functionality plus if I want I cld load up android 2.2 so

the flexibility is immense

I've found the secret to not needing more storage though....after careful observation of my past 10 years, I noticed that downloaded stuff hardly, if ever gets re-used. Not to mention that there is a constant flow of new stuff to download.

The solution, delete.


No more archiving, pack rat-ing, meticulous file renaming.

was looking for an enclosure in best buy and couldnt find a cheap one.. cheapest one was 77 USD
so picked up one of these
was really looking for an enclosure with sata and pata
but had to suck it up and pick this one up cause of time.

Comes with an esata cable ( finnnallyyy) which has been amazing
works on 2.5 and 3.5
hot swappable so thats been great for my laptop HD swapping and ghosting.

THere is also one called a duet that has space for 2 sata drives at the same time for 64 dollars, still cheaper than the one enclosure.

After seeing the performance of this one, will definitely pick that one up.
Two bad only have one esata connection on laptop, otherwise id keep them both and pop three drives in same time.

Also spotted a nice looking usb docking station but kinda expensive so ill put that on hold.

That would have definitely worked out cheaper on steam. $30us no shipping as opposed to $100tt plus $100 give or take in shipping, plus the wait. Time is money.

But im happy you got it on PC though. Be sure to share your steam name if u havent already done so.

I went for a similar deal with  Mass Effect 2 but I was already purchasing other items, so they shipped together.

Captain is right, if bought alone, the landed price will be higher than the digital download on steam.

Are you getting Amazon's digital download to work from Trinidad? I couldn't last time.

"Games of the living dead" EB/Gamestop essentials collection, a PS3 3-pack including

Dead Space
Resident Evil 5
Vampire Rain: Altered Species

Started RE5 on hard...getting my ass kicked and missing my wii controls.
Never heard about that last game, and true to life, is real shit. Think MGS meets RE with Vampires in the mix. Real balls. Started it and promptly put disc away.

yeah, jarrox come and save the day cause for some reason I couldn't party with you and w1ntry. Real strange.

His 50mb flow connection real performing.

My PC upstairs was downloading Company of Heroes Online and apparently its some sort of torrent type download because it totally hosed my internet. Once I stopped it, all the lag went away.

So who knows, maybe that was affecting us earlier, why the party chat wasnt working properly.

Will try again tonight.

and yeah, the max shooter adapter is rubbish...can't wait for the XIM to reach.

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Case

Cheapest Gaming class case you can get locally: just over $300 ans both inside and outside are black!

Decided to transfer my pc parts to this case while I prep, prime, sand and paint over my Armor Jr case over the next 3 months. I pay to much and have it too long to let it start to rust away on me.

I am ope to any advice on the paint job. It will be treated as though I painting a car.

That headset looks interesting. I especially like the fact that it works with both usb and normal sound jack connection. Price and reviews looking good too.

Be sure to let us know how it goes. May very well go down as a replacement in the event that my current SB Arena dies.

Logitech Z515 (http://www.anandtech.com/show/3941/logitech-z515-wireless-speakers-because-your-laptop-speakers-suck) portable wireless speaker.

Portable sound via 3.5mm audio jack, USB, and bluetooth.
Perfect companion to my netbook and smartphone.

Oh, and it gets REALLY loud.



Asus Xonar DX (http://techreport.com/articles.x/14500) sound card.
Its about time I use a 'proper' discrete sound card.



N900 Game Gripper (http://nokiaexperts.com/enhance-n900-emulator-game-experience-game-gripper/)

Quite possibly the best accessory you can get for your N900. :happy0203:

and a guild wars upgrade and bought audio surf on steam.
Had a 100 dollar rebate card from verizon, visa debit, not reloadable though, so hunted amazon to see what i could get for a 100 shipping inclusive.
First was ordering this
http://www.amazon.com/Dean-Vendetta-Electric-Guitar-Mahogany/dp/B0018TBECU/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1293169895&sr=1-3 (http://www.amazon.com/Dean-Vendetta-Electric-Guitar-Mahogany/dp/B0018TBECU/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1293169895&sr=1-3)
but after amazon's 2 dollar fees for making an order and signing up for prime free month trial, i was short 57 cents and they wouldnt let the order proceed lol.

So got the dac amp and the other lil purchases.

ordered this from amazon yesterday
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NSLO7Y/ref=oss_product (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NSLO7Y/ref=oss_product)

read plenty positive reviews and it has vibration.

Got it this week, not disappointed at all.

+
detachable mic,
usb and 3.5mm audio (I only use USB)
7.1 works good
has led and vibration (led lights unnecessary imo, can't even see it when i have it on; vibration adds intensity to epic battles and dramatic scenes. Also can adjust the levels).
Long cord
mute mic button
battery pack for vibration and lights if you don't want to plug in the usb.
decent sound quality and no interference at high volumes (I'm not an audiophile but owned a couple headsets including a sennheiser)
has decent bass, and more impact with vibration on.
noise cancellation works as intended

-
when vibration is on but on low setting, I will sometimes hear the sound like you hear in your stereo when a cellphone is going to ring. When vibration is off or turned up high, the sound is absent.

saw some people say the headphones broke after using a few times. I see nothing that like this but I handle them carefully  only because I read that.

Overall I would say its worth the cash, has a lot of features and options

Great product, sleek and the speakphone is very loud
quality to stereo also impressive and the speakerphone has a voice notification ( a female voice)

easy to use (one click answer, end call, ignore, etc).

However after using it for half an hour, I realised its not my style (guess that's why I never bought a bluetooth handsfree). Might put up for sale since I know I will hardly use it.

Great product for those who will use it, and blackberry branded ( bb runs this country).

It's 14 inches but boasts of:

Intel i5 @ 2.53GHz
4gb DDR3
500gig HDD
Win 7 Home Premium
Led backlit screen (As someone on amazon said horrible viewing angle but it's perfect for me cause nosey people can't easily see you laptop screen from the side lol)

For the specs/features, I'd say the price is rather splendid.

...and the Nvidia Optimus tech means that when you're at the desktop
it uses the integrated GPU, but if you fire up a game, it switches, on the fly,
to the discrete 310M GPU.  Pretty kick@$$ piece of kit there.

The rest of the specs are nothing to scoff at either...AND its got a LED display.
A Core i5 CPU, and 4GB of DDR3 for THAT price?  Hellz yeah.


I want one.  :)



...and I just realized that its a Amazon Prime item, so that's FREE shipping to Miami
and its 'only' 7 lbs, so roughly 140 TT to ship from Miami, and there's no VAT/duty to pay.

For about roughly 5000 TT, yeah, that laptop is rather 'bess'.

Redfish...I'm officially jealous.  :P

@O/C I actually got it for 650us as it seemed to be on sale earlier in the month.

Paid like 237TTD to UPxpress on delivery so it cost me about 4400TTD in total for it.

I'd say not bad a bad deal for my fist laptop....

@ Arcman, boy I am also loving the fact that the keys are spaced so I don't press nearby keys by mistake as I hate that with other laptops!!

Been putting on all my goodies last night so still haven't tried a game on it just yet, not like I want a gaming laptop anyway.......

Highlighted the important bits.

According to all the reviews...a rather solid package for under $500 US.
Can't wait to try out that LED display for myself.

Of course, I'll eventually upgrade the RAM and fling Windows 7 x64 on it,
but for now, I'll leave it as is.

The one drawback: no bluetooth, but that's not that big of a problem.  There are adapters.
Strange of Asus not to include it though.  Should be easily upgradeable.

Oh you bet yo sweet azz it is.  :laughing7:

Couldn't afford a full-size notebook, nor did I want one anyway.
I think this model hit the sweet spot in terms of size, price, and performance.

Not to mention, some killer specs too (well, for a netbook at least).

Arc, nice little netbook there. Sorry to rain on your parade though but im seeing some reports that the cpu, while 64bit can only do 32bit memory addressing even with x64 windows. Looks like even if your put 4gb in there you'll only see 2.7gigs out of it.

Bummer, I *nearly* went to buy one.

Not according to the Eee PC forums.  In any case...the RAM for this is rather cheap,
so it's not like I'll be losing  anything by going 64-bit.

So it occurred to me that I have...a lot...of expensive shit in my room (located at a house in an undisclosed location). What if a certain element was to get the bright idea one day to distress my stuff while im out, (which has happened before) blissfully ignorant of the fact that my stuff is being pilfered by a thieving bastard.

So I ordered this little baby (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046710G6/ref=ox_ya_os_product) which has a nice long spec list including pan AND tilt, wireless operation, remote viewing (also possible through your phone!) as well as motion detection which can trigger a number of actions including capturing images and shooting it off to a ftp server or your email.

Yea yuh ole tief, smile for the camera biatch, youre going downnnn!

2 of Wix Cabin Air Filter ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RDLBG2 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RDLBG2) )

Cost: US$18 each

Why: to replace the filthy one in my car (like it never change since it leave Japan factory!), and I'm not handing Neal & Massy TT$566 for an OEM filter.
I had to measure the filter size to get a size that matched most closely to the current one

You have more discipline than me.

I SOLD my video card Christmas gone just to ensure I would not get distracted from my upcoming exams.

My recent purchase:

Ebags Downloader backpack

http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/downloader-laptop-backpack/15025 (http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/downloader-laptop-backpack/15025)

For me this is the ULTIMATE backpack that every freelance IT Guy should have. This is the third one I've bought in the last 7 years.

So many useful features, nooks and crannies to store stuff in. Will hold laptops up to 15" in size

(and if it too small for you, there's the ebags macroloader (http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/macroloader-laptop-backpack/59045?productid=669210) )

Teflon mouse feet.

I kid you not.  Why buy a new mouse when you can breathe new life into an old one.

I noticed that my Sidewinder X8 mouse was becoming more difficult to drag across
the Razer Destructor pad that has served me so beautifully since I got it.

I came across these by chance from an Amazon recommendation...

http://www.amazon.com/CS-Hyde-Extended-Mouse-Diameter/dp/B003DZ16XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306552768&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/CS-Hyde-Extended-Mouse-Diameter/dp/B003DZ16XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306552768&sr=8-1)


I said 'why not' and decided to try some.

I tell you...my mouse glides across this here pad like an air-hockey puck.
The slickness of the movement is UNBELIEVABLE.  WAY better than even
the (then) top-of-the-line Logitech G7 I once had.

I actually have to 'retrain' my hand because of the radical change in speed.

If you need to bring back a mouse you'd rather not part with...THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED!!!


Thank you Amazon recommendations.  :icon_thumright:

LOVING IT!!! i cant believe this thing can output bass like that!
Truely outclasses the ipod and iphone in every way in audio playback.

It's wireless.

Mic chat on PS3/Xbox/PC via bluetooth (can connect to 2 devices simultaneously)
Wicked sound presets.
Analog and digital inputs.

Did I say wireless?

Officially broke it in last night.  Fantastic piece of kit.

@ SPK: How u manage to choose that particular model laptop?

Seeing some better models with better specs (same Lenovo series)for d same price.

For the SL510 series? I saw units with better specs from the G560 model, which was cheaper, but one thing I factored in was with regards to having a legit W7 Pro as opposed to Home Premium...he says he'll use it at home, but knowing him he'll look to take it to work, and thus will need to connect to a domain. For his needs, 2GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive is more than sufficient, so it was a tradeoff between better specs and having a legit professional OS.

This is considering he's using an 8 year old Gateway laptop with 512MB RAM and a 120GB hard drive and a 1.4GHz Celeron CPU, and he considers it to still be powerful enough for his own needs.

Also, for other variants in the SL510 lineup, they were closer to $500 US or higher, and I was working with that limit inclusive of shipping etc.

Used one of those sansa's for running. Worked like a champ. Bought it up in the UK for about twice what you paid.

At that price SPK, you really can't go wrong.

I know, my sis has one of the older Sansa models, I currently use the Sansa Fuze 8GB for the car, so I am very well aware as to its quality. Certainly a good option for the price!

you toobss!
and lots of archery sites too
THere is a natural component to it, like skating for the first time, where you choose your stance on the board, i skate goofy footed, and it seems i have an irregular shooting stance as well, but beyond stance, you really have to learn how to draw, and hold and aim and shoot.

Luckily we have been playing sniping games for evers, so we know about how breath affects sighting and know about bullet drop over distance. Same issues here but wind has a much more prominent effect over short distances on a bow.

Need lots of space behind and to the side of your target, cause you WILL miss, lol.

But in delaware i dont need a license for rabbit hunting, and there are rabbits in the area, so iam hyped to bag my first non chicken kill ^_^ yay.

not sure what the importation law is on bows and arrows, but ebay has used ones in great shape cheap!

Ive also seen them on sale in west mall, but cant recall what price they at.

Also bought some 3d targets that absorb the arrows energy.

I need bigger ones since iam still not yet pro, but they were cheap to, 20 us.

1) A Kill-a-Watt

To find out what's been eating up my electricity at home. The bill is heading near $2000!

2) Rechargeable Batteries and a La Crosse charger. Had just about enough of buying bloody expensive Alkaline AA batteries for the 360 and Wii.

3) 2 batteries for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 as well as a replacement charger for the one I lost. Came in a neat little bundle.

(Thanks again to awesome, for the re-charge in time for last tourney. Was flat out of juice)

From Amazon : Where's the version number?

   According to HDMI, version numbers reflect capabilities, but do not correspond to product features. In other words, HDMI does not require manufacturers to implement everything that HDMI can do. HDMI provides a menu of capabilities and allows the manufacturer to choose which of those features make sense for its product line.

   For example, if you want the new video features called Deep Color, look for Deep Color in the feature set rather than HDMI 1.3, the version of the specification that enabled Deep Color. Why? Because the version of the specification that enables Deep Color (1.3) does not mandate that Deep Color functionality be implemented.

   As a result, HDMI strongly recommends that consumers look for products with the features they want, rather than the version number of the HDMI components.

besides, a 700W powersupply is "way too good for little chirren." (tm)

Absolutely right. There is really no need for anything upwards of 800w PSU. Even systems running dual graphics, multiple hdd's and optical drives peak at about 480W MAXIMUM. I have my system connected to a kill-a-watt permanently so I can tell first hand.

Even good stuff like quad sli wont even make a good 750w psu sweat. There's a misconception that bigger is better. In actuality its much the opposite. PSU's work in such a way that they are more efficient the closer they are to their max output. The more excess capacity, the more inefficiently it operates.

thats through for efficiency on a whole... but it doesn't mean that your psu is better or worse etc... high efficiency just means its outputting a high amount in relation to its input...

its like @ high load its taking 1000W from the wall and outputting 900W (good efficiency)
@ low load its taking 1000W from the wall and outputting 400W (bad efficiency)

thats a basic representation but you get the jist, so dont go loading up your psu's expecting to get "better" performance :)

That is why I bought it: a card notably cheaper than, yet performance similar to/slightly better than a HD6950/HD6970

Is not like I didn't do research... :cowboy:

and...meh.. I missed out on saving US$20 further on my purchase... still better than US$240+ for the HD6950/70

Well arc all i can tell u is, make sure you never audition the headphones, because if you do, those tiny wires in your brain will start rewiring themselves to apply 'sense' to such expenditure. When you hear how good music, movies, and games can actually sound, 'sense' is the last thing on your mind.

Its why i stay in headphones, speaker alternative to my rig, is 4-5 times the price.

First HiFi Headphones Cost 300$
Second Retail for 1100$ got it for 750$
Just made the jump to these bad boys. I knew it woudl have been better, but they actually surpass my expectations, i wasnt expecting them to sound as good as they do, wasnt expecting it to be THAT much better than my current rig. If i had to do it all over again, Id buy these blindfolded. (Btw ill be selling my old Headphones, Amp, Dac, and PSU soon).

But like i said, unless you actually hear them, for the physical re-wiring in your brain to take place, it will never make sense. When i bought my first hifi headphones, i never thought in a million years id shell 1000$ on a headphones, muchless 2k. But i cant imagine going back, everything else sounds like shit to me now.

Take a look at this video, he talks bout the cans i have, Audez'e LCD-3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA7RIfpKSh8&feature=player_embedded

Edit:

Some would say, spending 1000$US on an iphone 4s that going to be outdated in a year is crazy too (im one of those ppl that thinks its ludicrous), but that headphones going to remain amongst d best for years and years to come. Lifespan of audio gear is alot alot alot longer, than other tech, i.e. smartphones/pcs. Its a longterm investment. ( Yes, this has been rehearsed infront of a mirror to justify the cost :) ) Current gear last me 3 years before i wanted to upgrade, hoping this new batch make ah 6-7.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on January 05, 2012, 11:38:31 AM
6 - 7 years from a headphones?


That ain't bad


I MIGHT have considered it if they had 5.1 surround for games. (granted that I won lotto to afford it in the first place)

I know it isn't a killer feature in head phones, but at that price I want to have my cake and eat it too.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: MessiaaH on January 05, 2012, 11:48:58 AM
Yes, one of my headphones i got for around 400$ back in d day (Denon D5000), is still being used by wifey all now, was purchased in july of 2008, in mint condition, and working perfectly. And when i say 6-7 years, that is not because d headphones go spoil by then eh. Thats d timeframe till audio technology advances to d point where it makes sense to upgrade. HiFi headphones can last for years on end no problems. And they have user replaceable leather pads and headbands and cables etc. So if it get old from ware and tear, u can bring them back to new for a few $$. (50$ Leather Pads, 15$ Headband, etc.)

5.1 is overrated boy. I have better positional audio from my headphones, than you will ever get from a 5.1 headphones. All gaming headphones with multi channel surround is gimmick. I could tell u which branch of d tree a man on in them games, and when d leaf he shake fall and hit d ground. Dont let lack of 5.1 deter u, real audio men knows that is shit.
(Unless u running speakers, multichannel makes sense there.) And their is scientific evidence to support d 5.1 headphones crock, as well as personal testing.

Edit:
For 2-400$ u coudl get some judgement hifi headphones, that upgradble with amp and stuff in d future.
Equivilent gaming headphones at the price, sounds like rubbish in comparison. And has no headroom for upgrades.

When i back in trini, if it have any gatt event involving pcs, i go bring out d headphone rig for man to test. Try it at your own risk.

I wasn't really 'looking'.  It just showed up in an email from Amazon.  You know how they like to 'suggest' stuff, based on what you've purchased before, right.  :laughing7:

It's an Asus antenna, for an Asus router.  How could I go wrong?

i started back gym saturday (but was pre working out before then like p90 etc) when I started p90 i noticed a sudden boost in energy and i was in the gym for 3 hours straight without fatigue, I did legs, back and abs. Then later during the day i went to work which consisted of lifted some multimedia objects. I shocked myself by lifting a 40 inch plasma tv by myself.

Then yesterday i took a next dose and I went to gym, I did biceps and chest with semi heavy weight, no fatigue. Then I took a run around a football field and also did some bicep based pullups.
Also my sleep was very relaxed.
So yeah it's a body building weight gain energy supplement

first of all .....WTF ??:lol:

second of all ... I need to try this thing.... but i think you should monitor your heart rate

that not experiencing ANY fatigue is pretty troubling since u just start back weights plus P90

including all that other heavy lifting your doing.... just to be safe

last two purchases were to complete my entry level home theatre setup



a toslink switch @ amazon for $15 to allow easy switching from the Logitech Z5500 to the dual Sharkoon 5.1 headsets for more "discrete" movie watching.


Saw Arc mention this many moons ago. Finally had need of it. Works like a charm.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Z1FWfzMrL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)


And a mini wireless keyboard with built in touch pad to replace the full size wireless keyboard controlling my HTPC. US$26 @ Amazon as well.

The M4 256GB SSD

Saxman posted a deal on Amazon for this baby that was too good to pass up.

Improved my SSD score in Win 7

And now I have enough room to give more of my games the SSD "greased lightning" treatment.

Borderlands 2 here we come.

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2-5-Inch-Solid-State-CT256M4SSD2/dp/B004W2JL2A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348146829&sr=8-1&keywords=m4+256gb+ssd

Oh very nice.

Waiting on the 512 GB version to drop to about $300 US or thereabouts before I 'pull trigger' on one.

Hopefully Black Friday or Cyber Monday could give me that hook up.   :happy0203:

Sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh1xwe-bg9o

1) Collectors item for any Zelda fan.
2) Looks and sounds just like the original one from the game.
3) Learning the cross fingering pattern to play it, unlike my linear Ocarinas that i own.
4) Cool factor to play this at a convention or gamefest.
5) The ability to cause heads to turn when hearing Zelda tunes played from out of nowhere.

And the list goes on....  :awesome:

OK, so maybe I won't be needing that XIM just yet...  :banana:

Based on an email I received from Penguin United, you can now use your existing Eagle Eye with your Xbox 360.
The only downside...you have to manually load the appropriate .bin file for the system before you can use it.


I personally asked on their YouTube channel to verify...

My last purchase: Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400 with High-Precision 3600 DPI Optical Engine

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VI09rPyjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

Why? Because Dota 2, that's why.

Got absolutely fedup of using the more expensive yet vastly inferior Logitech G9X Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse on my son's computer.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NM9AwVT1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

You would think with all the fancy technology in the newer mouse, that it would be better for gaming. Wrong.

It sucks.

Maybe I am just too accustomed to the older form factor but my DOTA 2 experience is tons smoother with the old MX500 which currently sits on my main gaming rig. Been using that mouse for about a decade, lol

Now I can have the same buttery gameplay on my main rig and his.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415X5109JZL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)

The G400 looks almost identical to its out of production predecessor.

Good enough for me.

Fits an 11 inch video card with ease. but just the one rear fan. It will only take one more fan at the top and front each. Only $550 or so at Circuit Zone.

Received the MK808B yesterday and was very impressed. Its basically a pc on your tv without the footprint.

The bluetooth keyboard works fine but I still need to get accustomed to it. My Logitech mk320 kb/mouse combo also works great with it. All necessary cables were already available out of box. Set up took less than 5 minutes from opening the box to syncing my google account.

I immediately installed my favorite android apps and no issues thus far. Apex launcher seems like the most suitable launcher for it so far.

ES file explorer works perfect, can access my windows network and play movies in HD on the tv. Have not gotten a chance to play any games as yet but watching a few youtube videos I don't see any problems.

Next step will be to research its rooting capabilities. I give it a 9/10 based on its cost.

(Windows gaming pc for sale soon???)

Funny enough, I'm using one of those myself

Been a huge fan of a "hard surface" (everglide) yet somehow this massive steelseries cloth pad has become my primary gaming pad.

Very smooth.

My last purchase was the following:

Mini Folding Stand for my Galaxy Note 2 (not big on the cases with the kick stand, so this is a go between solution)

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/317wyyiDSZL._SY300_.jpg)

An arm band for same so I can track my workouts and runs with endomondo. Getting tired of running with it in my hand (my galaxy nexus arm band was understandably too small for the note 2)

(http://www.carigamers.com/images/note2arm.jpg)


And last but by no means least, an awesome MHL cable to connect the Note 2 to my big screen LCD TV. (Bloody thing runs XBMC as good as my full fledged desktop HTPC system. Amazing)

The Arkon holder does WORK! A piece of advice though. When you release the phone from the grip, it widens so quick the phone liable to fall right out so be sure to brace the phone from falling.

Also be careful when using it in horizontal. The whole grip can come off the mount with a bit of ease if trying to adjust phone position in crip

Have that using with my Galaxy S2 for months now.... don't know how I did without it...

My phone has fallen quite a few times out of the Arkon holder due to the exact same phenomenon Sax described lol.

Still, it is so epicly useful, I don't care.

And thankfully, the  flooring / mat in the car isn't exactly  going to shatter the screen.

I can vouch for that Arkon mount as well.   :)

Easy solution for the phone falling out phenomenon...just tilt the  mount up a few degrees so that when you release the clip, the phone is leaning back against the support and won't fall out.  Simple

No @ falls out of car

It is mounted on my windscreen, to the right and never fell out the car.

Would take a freak accident with the  right door wide open or something for that to happen.

Of recent, I've taken to placing and removing it in the mount without using the release mechanism altogether.

There is enough play with the foam grips to squeeze the phone in and out. No falls since adopting that technique.

My last purchases were as follows:

SPIbelt

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31BbAUsxbeL._SX385_.jpg)

Don't let the diminutive size fool you....this little belt's storage compartment can stretch to hold my Galaxy Note 2 (no more running jokes about having a laptop strapped to my arm)

Slip the Note 2 into the belt and hide below my vest/-tshirt for non intrusive sporting action. Endomondo ftw.



An Original Nokia E71 charger

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NyyQ1EOhL._SX300_.jpg)

Believe it or not, this actually charges my XTG bluetooth headset. lol. My kids broke the original charger that came with it.

GoGroove FlexSmart

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41dlud3PRuL._SY300_.jpg)

Was never a fan of FM transmitters but this one has built in bluetooth. Works like a boss with my Galaxy Note 2.

No more transferring songs to the car, I can just maintain one epic music library on my phone and as an added bonus it doubles as a "hands free" setup and a charger.

Long Sleeve Rash Guard

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411E2BgN-UL._SX385_.jpg)

For some NoGi grappling action. MMA to the world.

Lihixxxxxxxxxxxx

Last but not least....a new case to replace one of my old faithfuls.....been literally using the same case for over 10 years in two of my desktop machines. One finally got an upgrade to this beauty.

Been jones'in for an alienware-esque case like this for years

Machine increased its performance by about 20% just from the case upgrade. I swear. lol

That SPIbelt is pretty good, the only thing I don't like about mine is that it isn't water proof. When I sweat heavy the inside is drenched (would keep my phone in a ziploc bag inside it).

I used to have one of those FM transmitters, sound quality wasn't all that. Bluetooth probably better right? Going to buy a new vehicle with integrated bluetooth soon.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: TriniXaeno on May 21, 2013, 10:22:46 AM
Agreed. Integrated bluetooth would be even better.

That said, there are lots of after market kits that offer the feature for cheap, under US$150.00

Hellluv a lot cheaper than buying a new model vehicle, lol

Once I get up the nerve to get under the hood, I'll grab one of these and put the GoGroove in the other car for the misses.

Cost me US$116 on ebay plus US$20 shipping via FedEx from South Korea. (I wanted it quick!)

Thing works very nicely in the two days I've had it. It even does motion detection when the car is parked. Really wanted a 1080p DVR but those are in the range of US$250 - US$400

Why? never know what gonna happen when driving.

2 Nexus 7:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ydcc2Y0tn-0/UZ0bxLkBZNI/AAAAAAAAAW4/lw3KgLZc8F4/s320/Google-Nexus-7.jpg)

1 for my 5 year old daughter, 1 for my 4 year old son (Eid Presents)

2 of these:
(http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Galaxy-Tab-2-7.png)

Galaxy Tab 2: For my pops and 3 year old niece. Touchwizz has a slightly better polish to it than the raw jellybean ui, but I may be biased since I have been using it on my note for almost 2 years now.

This here is a gem:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7K11MI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

ASUS K55N-DS81 Lappy: It runs everything I threw at it so far (which is just driver san francisco) but judging by the performance (6.4 graphics performance on windows index), it seem like it might even run an assassins creed game. And I got it for $379.99
Cons: Windows 8 suck donkey b****!


A pair of these:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71hKHwQUumL._SY355_.jpg)

Futuro Energizing Wrist Band: My wrists are really giving out these days, as a web developer, I spend so much time typing, it was bound to happen. But these are fantastic! Very comfortable fit and holds really supports your wrist. So far, I am feeling some improvement, but I'll want to give it at least a month before I give it my final verdict.


(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4148y6IQ1xL._SX342_.jpg)

Logitech G930: I love the sound clarity in this headset, although the base is not as deep as my previous creative headset, I still consider it an upgrade due to the freedom that comes with wireless. PS, you'll hate to see the state of my last headset.

Finally This:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81ckVYwNLNL._SX300_.jpg)

7 port usb 3.0 hub: I bought this because all 8 of my rear ports were full and only 2 were usb 3.0, I haven't tried a file transfer to see how fast it is, but even if I get usb 2 speeds, 7 extra ports are quite usefull

Last purchases Made?
I purchased Final Fantasy VII on Steam. WHY?
all the talk about cheapness and recession and wanting a pricedrop, I love the bloodclat game. It is the best RPG I have ever played and the 3rd best overall game in my life. School is out for 3 weeks so I'll have fun attempting to get 100% completion and steam achievements

I purchased trine 2. WHY?
The first Trine is going decent thus, and the graphics are very vivid with some solid gameplay and story. Also most people recommend it and I could use a decent platformer in my collection.

Finally potato and cheese pie from the pie man. WHY?
Wisdom tooth extraction site healed. and it's potato and cheese... need I say more  :lol:

Back to the matter at hand.

Recent purchases:

1) Otterbox Defender for the misses' Iphone 5

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4136vwZqkwL._SY300_.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SUHR6C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005SUHR6C&linkCode=as2&tag=g12n7-20)

Why? Cause two little kids that love to play Angry Birds, that's why.

Need epic protection for when they start fighting over the phone.

Must say, the otterbox delivers in spades. You could pretty much play a game of scooch with the phone and not be worried about it getting damaged.

Super solid construction. Love the way they integrate the screen protector. I HATED installing those stupid things. This one fits automatically over the entire phone surface. Surprisingly snug too.

Absolutely no complaints from my significant other and she loves the color.

gg no re

2) Nintendo Wii and extra controller / nunchuck

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EHjYoFQuL.jpg) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006AN894U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006AN894U&linkCode=as2&tag=g12n7-20)

Why, cause Saxman arranged a Game Day for the Cyril Ross orphanage and it was decided we would donate a gaming console to surprise the kids after the session.

Photen Cyren Bluetooth Speakers because I wanted some decent maracas / DDI / pool side audio from my android.

http://www.amazon.com/Photive-Portable-Bluetooth-Speakerphone-Rechargeable/dp/B00D6OHHEE/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header&linkCode=as2&tag=g12n7-20

Not one but two Bluetooth Stereo headsets to replace my now broken but epic while it lasted Motorola S9 HD


The first, Motorola S11 HD

The successor to the S9. I have been waiting for a product refresh of this headset anxiously. The original version had a serious design flaw and poor color scheme. Making it very conspicuous. This new model is jet black, just like the original S9 and perfect for every day wear.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CA7FR90/ref=ox_ya_os_product&linkCode=as2&tag=g12n7-20

The second, Jabra Sport. This unit has the added feature of being able to pause / start my endomondo workout app via a button on the headset itself.

Very cool.

Saves you having to fiddle with your android in an arm band or waist strap while running or jogging.

how do you plan on raiding the drives? Or u just want them separate, because since this device is not an actual nas, all raid and processing go have to take place on the host machine.

how that mouse working out? was considering it myself.

Very nice so far. Nice and light, glides smoothly. I was really looking to get the G700s, but I got this for much cheaper than the retail price for both that and for this one. I've been using the G500 for the past couple months and the finish on the G602 is much, much smoother. Still has nice grip but the sandpaper feel the previous one had is smoothed out. Would love to see a comparison between the two. User reviews from the G700s say the buttons are mushy and not tactile. Not so with this one, can vouch for that.

Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Arcmanov on October 14, 2013, 08:51:28 AM
I have both the G700s and the G602.

The buttons on both mice are fine.  I just don't fancy tilt-wheel buttons.  I am SO glad that the G602 does away with them entirely.
The battery life is damn near epic.  I've been using it with a pair of rechargeable Sanyo Eneloop batteries since the 26th of September, and thus far, only about 10% of the battery has been used.  I would probably have had to change batteries in the G700s quite a few times in the same period.

Where the G700s is the gas-guzzling Ferrari...the G602 is the economic gas sipping Nissan.  :laughing7:

Both mice perform admirably...with a slight edge going to the G602 on smoothness.



Ario...can you describe the G240 mousepad?
Want to get my mitts on one.  From all accounts...it seems like the perfect 'ying' to the G602's 'yang'.

Post by: AR!Ø on October 14, 2013, 11:53:06 AM
I on the other had like the tilt wheel; sorry to see it go, but I am liking  the solid feel of this one's wheel.

The mousepad that the 240 replaces is a steelseries (http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Gaming-Mouse-Black/dp/B000UEZ36W/ref=pd_bxgy_pc_img_z)

The 240 is not as thick as that one but the difference in the feel is unmistakable. the ridges on the steelseries can be felt when you run your fingers along it; not so with the logitech. when I initially got the steelseries it took a day or two for it to lay completely flat whereas the logitech spread out as soon as I unrolled it. very pliable, and yet I haven't yet noticed the grip underneath moving around at all.


The keyboard is a bit on the loud side. Apart from that, I love it. The clicky feel and sound of the keys is really nice. In future I would probably try out the brown switches.

Post by: Berzerk on October 14, 2013, 07:45:58 PM
Arcman would you say the 602 is an improvement over the g700? Using the g700 now no real issues, aside of one side button being a little stiff, and battery life being a little iffy on long play sessions.
Title: Re: What was the last purchase you made and why
Post by: Arcmanov on October 14, 2013, 10:45:03 PM
It's a hell of an improvement...in every way except the way in which profiles are implemented.

With the G700/G700s, you could store up to 3 profiles on the mouse itself.  Not so with the G602.
It only stores one on-board profile, so there's no 'profile-switcher' button, and you can't assign one.
It actually makes more sense to use profiles stored on the PC though, so I've already adapted, using my G15 keyboard as the profile switcher.

Biggest improvement...the battery life.

If you're on the fence, I say go for it.

I bought a small blueetooth speaker for the beach as well. At first I thought the volume was very impressive.

Then I actually took it to the beach.

Wasn't much competition for the roar of the ocean.

You had to be right up next to it if you planned to enjoy any music.

Still love the concept and would spring for a bigger unit in time. One that could do about twice the volume and maybe double as a charger for my smart phone on the go.

Experience man says:  do NOT run case fans and CPU fans off of the same header.

The reason for that should be obvious.
The CPU fan is the single most important fan in most builds, and should be isolated on their own fan header.  It's the reason why ALL motherboards now have a separate, clearly labelled 'CPU FAN' header.

Exploring on your own and finding new features is lots of fun. Lifehacker should be fine for articles though.

If it's apps ur looking for, make YouTube your friend. I frequented channels like CooLoserTech when I got my first Android device. Discovered a lot of interesting apps through said channel.

ModMic 4.0

Now I am by no means an audiophile (I listen to music on my phone.... via Bluetooth :lol:   ) but lemme tell you,  ALLLLLLL audio sounds better with this combo.

ALLLLLLLL.

So much better that the Sharkoon get pack down.  Serious.  It's that good.
Playing Gulf Of Oman in BF4, I was hearing stuff I didn't before as the sandstorm picked up.  Amazing.

Don't take my word for it though.  Many, MANY online reviews pretty much say the same thing.

I may never buy another 'gaming headset' for PC again.  (Consoles are another matter...will always need wireless for that)
