Post Your Last Purchase I

[chikorita157]

Since I will be moving eventually for a new job once I get my clearance and a start date, I decided to shop for a rice cooker since I do eat rice because I'm Asian. While my parents have a Tiger Fuzzy Logic rice cooker to replace a cheap one, I decided to spend a bit more and get a Zoujirushi 3 cup rice cooker since I hear good things about them. It costed $98.99 off Amazon after I used rewards points towards my purchase (it normally costs $106.99). While it costs more, I didn't want a big one or a cheap one that doesn't last.

I tried it out with some Japanese rice and it tasted good and it can cook as little as a half of a cup, which is good since I will be living alone. Didn't get the more expensive model since I don't eat brown rice. Aside from that, need to try the other modes one of these days.

bought:

I clean up my room today. my uncle & aunt from Las Vegas came to visit my family
and they took me and little bro. to Daiso store. I bought a lot of stuffs to decorate
my room with.

let's see if I remember what I bought...lol.
Black cat statue, cat cup with cover, wooded fan, white rose paper shelve I use
to place all my paperworks inside, yoga mat, scissor, storage basket, nice little
basket for the restroom (so mom can dump her trashes in it), 2x squeegee
for our car windows or windows, paper clips, needle clips, cutting blade, cute little
lock, key chain, that 2 table clothes I place in the picture...and I cant' remember the rest,
but it were only $43 total! that's really nice. there are some wire laying out all over, maybe
i'll need to find some clippers to hold them together next time.

I don't even know where to get it.

[Wolfe La Piroko]

@Alithea I get mine from a store called Japan Centre, but if you dont live in a big city you might have to order it on line

Finally got round to forking over the cash for a Retrode and I'm happy to say that my old copy of DBZ for the Mega Drive (Genesis) still works and it was only the adapter that was broken

Yep, I finally started working just a few days ago. While the first week is kind of boring since I don't have a computer and a smartcard since it will be coming next week, at least I am earning a paycheck now to spend some on my hobby.

With that, here is what I got:

A bunch of computer stuff for the FiOS TV, mainly a HDHomeRun Prime, a Displayport to HDMI cable (for a HTPC) and a 100 ft ethernet cord to go back to the router from the other room. I wanted to go with a cablecard setup since the FiOS DVR that was left in the house is expensive ($20 a month) and I would rather pay $5 a month for a cable card since I have these old computers laying around that is capable for HD with a recent GPU for video acceleration. So far, the setup works, although I need to either get a better wireless card or one of those powerline adapters so the video won't be choppy due to the poor wireless connection.

Also, got the 2nd Cinderella Girls G4U pack with one of my favorite idol. Planning to get the Anzu, Ranko and Rin ones later as they got release. As for the blu-rays, I plan on getting the missing ones later on.

Also ordered a used Apple Cinema 24" Display, which will come early next week, to reduce the need of having a separate magsafe adapter while having a bigger display while being an IPS one and 16:10 aspect ratio (I hate 16:9 displays in general, except perhaps screens bigger than 25"). I plan on getting a Thunderbolt dock later on so I can have a dual/triple display setup and only need to plug in one adapter to access my USB 3 HDs and ethernet.

Still a few more things to order for my birthday, which won't come until the end of the month... and of course, I have to pay my living expenses.

I might need to replace my PS3's Blu-Ray Disc Drive again for the second time soon, or worst case scenario buy another PS3.

Otherwise, I've lately been using my usual video game money for art commissions on deviantART instead.

Recent gets!

Samsung 850 Pro SSD (512GB) - mainly purchased to give me a little more breathing room should I choose to put more games on it. I've repurposed my older 256GB Samsung 840 Pro (256GB) to be my Wii U drive, and for that, I needed a hard drive enclosure...
The Patriot Gauntlet 2 (2.5" HDD/SDD USB 3.0 enclosure) seems to have done the job quite nicely, though I did have to get a USB 3.0 Y-cable to make it work.

I was lucky enough to have been one of the first 500 subscribers to AnimeLab Premium, so I got a mystery box for my efforts. (Looks like there were quite a few different ones, other possible contents appeared to have included DVDs of Naruto, Evangelion, FLCL, Summer Wars, Redline, Arietty (BD), Naruto forehead protector, or Sasuke plushie)


Also, got these CDs:

[chikorita157]

Got a used Apple Cinema 24" LED display and so far, I'm very satisfied with the display as it reduces the need to have a power adapter and it's a 1980x1200 LED IPS display. While being several years old, the image quality and brightness is still like new as expected. It's a big upgrade over the Samsung 22 inch I have, although I can adjust the height and rotate it. Need to get a new stand to do that.



I found out that I can't do a dual screen setup with a Thunderbolt dock since I would need a Thunderbolt display, and the only company that make such displays are Apple. Yep, I will eventually revise my setup eventually and use the laptop screen as the secondary display and use the bigger display for the main. Otherwise, I will be wasting the increased screen space.

I just bought my gaming rig online. I'm soooooo excited. I decided to NOT build my own this time and let cyberpowerpc do the grunt work for me. It should arrive in about a week or so. But that part-picker option is so awesome. It basically let me customize without having to do all the shopping around for parts. Plus they're going to test my system for me so I know my computer won't explode when I turn it on, lol.

Here's the summary of it (I'm leaving out some smaller components):

Thermaltake V31 case
MSI Z170A motherboard
i7-6700k CPU
NVIDIA GTX 970 (x2)
Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooler
480GB Intel 535 SSD
16GB GSKILL Ripjaw V RAM
EVGA SuperNOVA 1050W Power Supply
CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard/Mouse Combo
Windows 10 Home 64-bit

I've read literature on the actual power draw from the main components and I THINK a 1050W should be sufficient for the i7-6700k and 2 GTX 970's in SLI. We'll see. I'm having them test the system to make sure, and considering I'll be putting in another HDD or two, I might have to upgrade to a 1200W power supply. I suppose we'll see.

And hopefully Windows 10 works out okay (I currently use Windows 7 Home). If it doesn't, I'll just wipe it and mirror my current SSD onto the new one.

This new system is absolutely going to blow my current one out of the water (i5-2500k, GTX 570, 8GB RAM, etc). Geez, my hands are shaking from excitement. I can't freaking wait!!

[P99]

I've recently bought:
Xit XTETN extension tube set for Nikon
Saga vol. 3 and 4
Hawkeye vol. 1
Soul Sacrifice (PS Vita)
Letters to a Young Poet - Rilke
BADLANDS (Deluxe) - Halsey

Really excited for the extension tubes to arrive! I've never used them before, so it'll be interesting to see how they impact my macro photography experience!

Im interested, why double stack the 970 instead of getting a 980? :3 Or hell, you could propably get a Titan if you invested a bit more

Because I had already bought one, and I'm past my return date. I could sell it, but frankly I hate using Ebay or Craigslist so I figured I'd just get one with a GTX 970 and SLI them.
