Was on a lightning deal, quality is "ok", feels a bit cheap in areas mainly the shackle body, but $41 for a u lock + folding lock + braided steel cable, its a pretty good deal
Might update the u lock later on for a kryptonite evo, wouldnt bother with the keeper or the kryptolock, metal is too soft

Ordered 4 more gunpla kits. A HG AC LEO(it completes my Gundam Wing set), a HG UC Char's Zgok(cause it was only $10), a HG UC Ball Twin Set and a HG Stargazer Gundam.

I've gotten to a point that I can fully build a hg kit in 1-3 hours depending on the kit.

Yeah that original designers really screw up things:

The case have 2 bays for Optical units but the frontal panel uses one of the bays for the frontal panel of USB connectors, earphone, power and hdd leds and reset button. so one of my optical drives can not be used


The USB 3.0 on front is only one port but the connector uses both set of pins so had to extend the hole for a dual USB 3.0 ports.

Also the internal fans have a strip of blue LEDs so a snip of knife to get away of them.

After 4 hours of dremel, self curing Acrylic powder and a few profanities now the PC is running again.

Next project put the other optical drive on an external case using eSATA cables. something nice is the case having a excellent cable management hidding it on the back of main board so the internals looks like no cables at all.

By the way Monday I did buy this disk on amazon:

And just arrive at the moment I was about to close the case, so put the disk on tower right immediately.

8TB for 50 USD and 3 years of warranty, obviously was used but used on AWS Datacenter, "Re-certified" by Amazon and still have warranty from WD.

Is a Ultrastar HelioSeal, Is a sealed disk filled with Helium so theoretically have better performance. So, Starting my backup of data right now.

Just another LG? I don't really like them. BH16NS40 or BH16NS55 with low firmware are nice though ()

Also the internal fans have a strip of blue LEDs

When buying my big computer it came with illuminated fans to my surprise.
I was back at the computer shop minutes later and returned the fans. They simply replaced them with normal ones and told me: "Somebody will be happy to buy them"

So, Starting my backup of data right now.

A new pc, I9, nvidia rtx 4070 12g, 16 gb ram...

Ordered 3 SD BB Gunda kits for my nephew. He was interested in building some with me and I figure those would be good for a 9 year old.

Anyways, that's 3 kids I ordered for him were a Deathscythe Hell EW, a Gundam Aerial amd a RX-78-2. All are SD( Super deformed).

I might keep the Deathscythe for me cause the Gundam's from the Gundam Wing series are my favorite, and would give him a more easier HG kit for him to do.

I got this absolute UNIT of a controller today:

Got something to use with it coming tomorrow... My holy grail may be fast approaching!

The grip itself is... Honestly, better than I was expecting. Got some decent depth to hold comfortably and the buttons feel good. Triggers are a bit gritty, and the analogue stick clicks are the shallowest I've ever come across, but if it does indeed work with an iPad mini 4 running iOS 9, this might just be the best way to legally play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

I shall post an update tomorrow.

Edit:
oh my god it works with my iOS 9 iPhone 6 Plus. If the iPad mini 4 is what it should be, I'm in business.

Xtar PB2SL (same as the PB2S, just a newer revision that can take 21700 protected). Powerbank/charger with replaceable cells.

21700 cells for it

Considering the push these days for being green, using less plastic etc, it's suprising how few powerbanks with replaceable cells there are.

 

[RAHelllord]

Got my C64 video cable that offers s-video, composite, and audio (dual mono) all in one cable. I can now hook this thing up to both of my TVs and get the best quality for either. I can also now wire the audio directly into my stereo which means a sizable bump in fidelity there as well. The chiptunes never sounded better.

Xtar PB2SL (same as the PB2S, just a newer revision that can take 21700 protected). Powerbank/charger with replaceable cells.

That is a pretty cool idea, I didn't even know they make them with replaceable cells. Guess my next powerbank might be one like that as well then.

Rest in piece.

Bought a Coca Cola coin can for $1.50 and I really like how it looks (went there on Saturday and I'm glad no one bought it), plus it can be opened without damaging it.

Imagine you save $2 every month, that's $730 at the end of the year. Or $5 per month, that's $1825.

I wish my parents had given me a money box when I was a kid and $0.50 or $1 every month to insert.

By the way, also went to Burger King and was pretty satisfied as a whole although I know that type of food isn't very healthy.

I'm sure Veho will be proud of you.

This is just too cruel....

Runs great, looks great....... But the controller doesn't liike it. Given it was happy with my iOS 9.something iPhone 6 Plus, I'm going to assume 9.0 is just too low a firmware for it ;______;

Tried jailbreaking it too to see if I could work around it, but the Pangu9 app isn't working. Not my day.

Isn’t this game also available for PSP? I know it doesn’t have the display size of an iPad, but it’s at least a legal way to play it.

It is, but I own the iOS version and I’ll be damned if I can’t play it lol.

I also just find it cool there’s an official HD release for the game. I know I could just emulate on PC and it’ll be better, but the sadist in me wants a 100+ hour iOS file.
