Not to sure how many be interested in this but here it is.

Athlonite · Jun 10, 2019

OOOOOoo nice scope :toast:

phill · Jun 10, 2019

Nice setup in the back ground

Rotel I see??....

AsRock · Jun 10, 2019

No, it's a Yamaha CX-830, maybe one day i will get one as it's been some time, it's just that i been so happy with the older Yamaha even more so at high volume.

I can totally see why you thought that due to the angle and Yamaha back then didn't really over do the name with big ol letters.

phill · Jun 10, 2019

I thought it might have been a Rotel as I remember them having larger (pardon the term) knobs for the inputs etc

I have a Yamaha DSP-E800 processor at home, it's been bloody brilliant even after nearly 20 years of owning it

I'd love to get something to replace my AV setup but new house first

Bones · Jun 10, 2019

Speaking of processors I grabbed another FX chip new last week from the egg. I know, it's an old FX chip right? Got it because it was the one model I never had and decided to get it so I'd have them all, at least of the 8xxx Vishera series.

Well imagine the suprise I had when I saw the date on it. Never would have believed it unless I had seen it for myself - And now I have.

SamirD · Jun 10, 2019

And that's still newer than a lot of the lga775 systems I use and the Pentium 4 3ghz my dad is still using, haha.

Funny thing is that there are still a lot of FX based systems out there running, which is pretty cool imo.

Bones · Jun 10, 2019

FX itself is newer than all 775 pieces period, 775 was out of production before FX came along. If you built a system since that's great but the parts themselves will be older, at least what makes a 775 what it is.
I honestly thought after the introduction of Ryzen FX production has stopped or at the least slowed down which is the case but to still have these made when the Ryzen 2xxx chips were starting to come into production themselves, that's just.....
Well maybe not so odd but you know production of those had to begin at sometime before the actual Ryzen 2xxx introduction to the market for building up their stock of those for release, probrably about when this one was made.

SamirD · Jun 11, 2019

Nah, these were all I could afford, mainly old systems that had been junked or put in storage after a life as a server (as in my dad's system's case).

Yeah, stock and inventory can be an odd thing. I still see things BNIB from the early 1990s and I'm like how in the world has that survived? But inventory of those things was probably high back then.

sam_86314 · Jun 11, 2019

Not quite a purchase of mine, but an early birthday present where I offered to split the cost...

...a Samsung Gear G2 to replace my first-gen Apple Watch (since I switched to Android).

I chose this watch over the Mobvoi Ticwatch E, which was cheaper and had Android Wear instead of Samsung's watch operating system. Hope I made a good decision here.

biffzinker · Jun 12, 2019

New peripherals although the mouse was the only one in need of replacing. The rubber pad on the left side of the HyperX Pulsefire FPS started peeling off getting glue residue on the plastic body.

Edit: This keyboard has more audio-able clicky-clack then I was expecting. It feels nice to type on though, just need to get use to it like a new pair of shoes.

OK guys - Feel free to hate me some more!

Well since its kinda hard to avoid RGB anymore I decided to embrace the light.

Oh Bugger yeah but even under Windows I can't get the RGB to all work together like it should I can get the mobo and ram on one colour but the damn wraith spire rgb doesn't show up in the Asus Aura app so disco it is for that which I find bloody annoying indeed
