My new cell phone Nokia N76

Wow, a complete copy of the Motorola Razor. Well, an improvement. My dad had one of those and the menus were horrid. This probably has the same menu as mine which are fab.

Microtek i700 Pro film scanner. Local shop is a ripoff for film scanning, this'll have paid for itself after 4 rolls!

New PSU (wife's old one died yesterday with a huge bang, so she got my old 430W Coolermaster one), nice 620W Corsair modular job.
Ze box

Ze PSU und ze cables

Ze PSU mounted BEFORE i went at it with cable ties

I really need some more cable ties, cos this a half-arsed job actuually, but what the hell, it'll do for now.

Do the pictures turn out clear and sharp? I might consider getting this instead of a digital camera since I don't take a lot of pictures for work purposes.

I've had this iriver Clix2 Red Line (8Gb) for a couple of weeks now. Bought it as a replacement for my iPod Nano, can't say I'm regretting anything. Though I sometimes miss the click-wheel, the iriver is by far better.

Interestingly enough, I'm currently looking to replace my 1gig iRiver with a nano.

Well, if I'd wanted to show of I would've taken a picture of the keys to my private car.

The Nano is fine, cheap and easy to use. I would have kept mine if a friend of mine hadn't given me an unbeatable amount of cash for it. Plus, the AMOLED-display intrigued me. (It's excellent by the way)

Lots of new toys to show off. I'm building a new system and it kicks major ass. Just ordered the parts.
Coolermaster cosmos case

EVGA 680iSLi Mobo

2 8800GTX cards

A tagan 1100W PSU

Intel QX6850

4 Gb of Kingston HyperX DDR2 800 RAM, 4 WD caviar 500GB drives, A creative Fatal1ty extreme gamer and a triple boot of vista ultimate, xp sp2 and ubuntu.
I can't wait to put it together.

Raheel · August 31st, 2007, 12:26 AM

^^^ Did u win a lottery or something? Looks cool... A machine like that would do wonders on my 3d Design apps.

Jacobfox · August 31st, 2007, 01:00 AM

Graduation gifts and a summer's worth of paychecks and commissions. Hopefully I'll get it all back next week, I have a percentage finder's fee on investors for my boss's land deal and if the guy I met this week invests, I get a small cut.

monkeymax · August 31st, 2007, 06:53 PM

My new toys:

Some of you may remember me asking about carry around lens recommendations...? Well, I've finally got it. Tried out the 17-70 and loved it. I was very very tempted by the 17-200 but decided that the longer range would mean compromises elsewhere and I've already got a 75-300... (hopefully I'll never need anything between 70 and 75mm...lol)
The 17-70 is a fantastic lens even by the short play I've had with it so far. Can't believe I didn't buy it sooner.

As for the 10-20... yeah that was an extravagance. But one of my work collegues let me play with his on his Nikon and I fell in love with it. I had to have it. There's a bit more vignetting than I'd like, but on the 400D it's fantastic... though I've not had a chance to have a proper play yet (getting dark too early!). However, I think that my old 19-35 Tamron wide angle won't get used anymore... (was not great on the 400D but superb on my old film EOSs).

Can't wait for some good weather!

BerserkerCatSplat · August 31st, 2007, 07:43 PM

Nice! Don't worry bout the 70-75mm gap, that's maybe 2 steps forward. I've got a 35mm - 70mm gap in my setup, and I rarely miss that range.

Yeah, don't worry... I often forget sarcasm doesn't come across well on t'intarweb. I'm not worried about that tiny gap - like you I used to have a much bigger gap in my range...
The lenses arrived just in time - going to France next week for a week and Scotland the week after so still have time to test (play with) them to make sure all is good... 8)
