Wife vintage thingorama part whatever:

Unfortunately not an actual "mini" jukebox, that would've been way neater, so it's just a radio (and cassette player lol) but eh whatever. Paid $35 for it.

Also nabbed a Dell PowerEdge R710 server, or at least the chassis and (I assume) the motherboard for it for a whopping $20. Not 100% sure what I'll do with it, but I'll probably try and chuck 2x Xeon x5690's 6c/12t CPUs in it for a total 12c/24t @ 3.73ghz, maybe chuck around 80GB of RAM in it (which I found a kit of ECC DDR3 for only $80), and then a couple of the Dell 700w PSUs that normally come with it. Be like maybe $200-$250 total for everything, give or take, which for a...kinda? recent (ie ~10 year old :lol:), mostly stacked server is really decent.

EDIT: Decided to nab 2x Xeon x5680's in it, since they were substantially cheaper for slightly lower performance. $80 for two of them, as opposed to $130 for two x5690s. Definitely not worth the extra $50 for slightly higher clock speeds.

Seems the left mouse button microswitch in my Razer Blade 14 decided to up and die on me, so ordered some replacement switches to swap them out with.


EDIT: Also, found 2x working 870w PSUs for that server I bought for only $30, so got those ordered as well. At this point, just need to pickup some ECC RAM and heatsinks and I should have everything I need to fuck around with the thing :lol:

I got gifted a N64 + OOT + 2 shot controllers and new in box car breakpads + brake rotors.

I've bought meself some new socks, paid off a mate of mine, got a shit load of cat food and stocked up on razorblades, shampoos, shower gels and other cleaning agents.
I don't have to worry about that for the coming year : D
 
That is too much. So many games I dont care about. I dont even wanna buy it because its too much overwhelming.
You can definitely ignore like 95% of what's on offer here, but there are a few decent titles thrown in with the trash that I'd absolutely recommend like Minit, A Short Hike, Catlateral Damage, Super Hexagon, Oxenfree, Night in the Woods, Cook Serve Delicious 2, Death and Taxes, and probably a few more that I didn't notice when I quickly skimmed through the list. Definitely worth $5 just for those

Steam keys or anything? Just the games themselves are sadly not worth anything... I mean this is GBAtemp after all.

Managed to win 80GB (10x8GB) of ECC DDR3 for $61 :yay:

Depending on pricing, I'll probably pick up another 2x8GB sticks for cheapo to bring it to a total of 96GB, 6 sticks for each CPU.

EDIT: Nabbed another 2 of the same brand and speed for $22, so a total of $83 for 96GB of RAM.

Now just need heatsinks and drive trays for the most part and should be all set.

Brought Horizon Chase Turbo, N++ and Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa on the eShop. I played N+ back on the DS and saw the switch version was on sale, and I had Horizon Chase Turbo on iOS a few years ago. Kotodama I only brought because it was $1.50 AUD.
