The "New Toys" Thread - Page 99

Got a set of Logitech X-210 2.1 speakers today. Big improvement over my 8 year old Cambridge Soundworks set. Only 25W RMS but plenty loud enough for me and the remote is suprisingly useful. Just need to find somewhere to fit the sub now.
Rush sounds so much better now.

Rush never sounds bad!

I like those speakers, got a set for my wife not too long ago.

Not a "tech toy" but I just adore it anyway.

Wait you guys all like rush? Cool. Hows Feedback, I am trying to get that but can't find it in stores.

der_jackal · January 5th, 2007, 12:01 AM

Feedback's good. I really like their cover of Shapes of Things.

cvrefugee · January 5th, 2007, 12:53 AM

I'm not Canadian and is Feedback a new album? I didn't know of anything beyond Vapor Trails although Farewell to Kings and Fly by Night are definantly the best albums.

i had that beasty

it was 4 wheel drive and everything, but i put one of the diff things in the wrong way or something so the engine would only turn if you went back wards lol!

i tried to sort it out, but ended up taking the whole thing apart....i built the F1 car with it instead. its crazy how they do that, they design a car, make it out of lego then some one discovers you can also make an F1 racer out of the same bits!

i have the big green dumper truck too with the bar code scanner thing...thats pretty good too.

i keep getting told im too old for technic lego, but your never too old, especially if you're and engineer. building stuff is great.

Don't worry, I'm not Canadian either!

They put out an EP of cover songs.

Oh, and I went over to the store last night and picked me up one of these!

Quite nice so far, having the ability to adjust the thumb buttons is cool!

It looks like an almost carbon-copy of the design Razer uses for their mice... Oh wait, it is a Razer mouse? Sold by M$?

TechZ · January 9th, 2007, 07:20 PM

*drools*

you're a lucky man

Buba · January 9th, 2007, 08:01 PM

WOW, that is some card... What do you have in terms of power supply? the sun?

Man, it needs 2 PCI-E power connections, right? I'm really happy for you, but pity the guy who pays for your energy bill

Looking at a 550w range and above PSU, nothing else is purchased save for the above mentioned stuff

Energy isn't that much in Bahrain

If you ever want to go SLI, you should probably go for something more in the direction of 850w for your PSU.
