Things you recently bought or got

[Futurdreamz]

I swapped my laptop for a gaming system with a GTX 870 and FX-8350. I haven't had a chance to quantify it against my old Asus TP500LN with an i5 and 840m, but I really hated my laptop. Sadly it doesn't come with a valid Windows license and Microsoft fixed the loophole that let you get a valid license from a Win machine activated by Daz. I have up to 180 days to decide whether to buy a license or switch to Linux.

Is that the only thing I can use it for?

The triggers only emulate touching the back of the screen, so it doesn't really have any other purpose.

ok

There does exist a certain bay which I hear pirates hang out around too, you could check with them
M$ doesn't deserve shit.
Linux is awesome though so that's a good option

Bought a European n3DS for $160 Canadian locally. The thing was originally offered for $170, but upon finding out that the system had the latest firmware, I managed to get the guy down to $160. I'm in the middle of doing the auto ctrnand transfer to firmware 2.1, and will flip this locally for some good money.

It came with the box and an european copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, so it's worth the trouble.

Just run kmspico

Just run kmspico

That's what it has. I was hoping to upgrade a Windows 7 system using Daz with the extended eligibility for users of assistive devices, but Windows now sends the key to Microsoft to verify it's authenticity. if it had worked I'd have a permanent license, but alas Microsoft closed that loophole. I might run KMSpico again when the 180 days are up, but I really want a permanent solution that Windows doesn't perpetually complain about or require me to disable security features for.

I'm a little annoyed though, as I had expected a valid license to be included with the computer. I will most likely get a cheap legit Win7 license then upgrade using the assistive devices loophole I sell it (after saving up for my final gaming system)

Been wanting to expand my physical collection of books, so as a little early birthday present to myself I went and ordered a few used copies of some of my more favorite reads of this year. Still want to pick up the entire DragonLance collection, along with the Witcher series as well as many others >.>

But this will have to do for now.

Bought 2 tubes of solder wire 40 / 60 1 mm for $2 each.

Got my 10 2 prong round rocker on-off switches. They are a lot bigger than I thought they would be, also tried soldering wires to one of them to see how well I could do it

Spoiler

I don't think I did that bad of a job.

Also got the 5 2 pin rectangular on off rocker switch. they r tiny compared to the round ones and they will fit perfectly into the link port on my dmg Gameboy but I need 3 pins not 2.

Spoiler

Got the Gameboy Color from Japan that I bought from eBay yesterday. It was covered in Hamtaro stickers so I removed them all and gave it a good clean and soldered a new speaker in to it that I got from a broken Gameboy pocket that I had.

Spoiler

Got my 50 2k omh resisters today paid $1 on ebay, still waiting for my 200 leds

Going to buy next pay front light mods for my Gameboy Colors and Gameboy Advance, a backlight, bivert mod for my DMG Gameboy and Leds from hand held legends.

Wow that's some really awesome stuff. You need to post a pic of that flashy Gameboys when your all done.

Right. Let's give my damn PSP 3000 the boost it really needs!

Arrived through the mail about 10 minutes ago... Planning to use this as a replacement for the suprisingly-not-working cable method...

 

[Futurdreamz]

Finally got my hands on the Hyrule Edition gold New 3DS. The moment I laid eyes on it I thought "aww yeah that's the stuff."

Sitting in a box because I can't transfer my shit to it for another 3 days.

Got my Vita hours ago. Now rocking HENkaku. Yet to buy a memory card cause it's expensive as hell. Waiting for a sale here to happen.

Only colors available were Neon Orange, Aqua Blue and Plain Ol' Black. Chose Aqua Blue as I think it looked better among the rest.

EDIT: It came in 3.60 out of the box in case anyone was wondering.

A package has just arrived from Japan. Got myself a keychain and my first Vocaloid CD, still not sure where should I attach it. The audio quality of the CD is AMAZING after listening to Spotify and YouTube for so long.

Maybe you can try microsoftsoftwareswap (I got a 10 and a 8.1 key there without issues) on reddit or give Linux a try if that's an option.

Sorry, I tend to somewhat pick up a lot of American vibes when I'm on this site.

I bought A Playstation shirt and a Deadpool shirt.
The Playstation shirt was 15 and the Deadpool shirt was 10. I think I'll return the Playstation shirt. I don't like the type of material it's made of

I recently bought a AMD FX-8350, Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR3 1866mhz RAM, 2 x 1TB Seagate 7200rpm hard drives w/SATA3 cables and a Corsair H100i v2 liquid cooler w/ radiator that didn't fit into my PC case because of stupid USB placement but I'll return it. No pics this time but man the CPU performance basically doubled. The FX-8350 is exactly twice as fast as my old Phenom II x4 965 OC'd @ 4ghz, I didn't expect it to be that much faster oh and I got Deus Ex Mankind Divided for free (I was going to buy the game anyways).

Just got a oled vita with 3.5.5 Firmware on ebay for $88 with a 4 gig memory card and the charger so i think Henkaku?
