Recently picked up an MSI GE 75 Raider. I7-8750, 144hz display, RTX 2070 (115W tdp), 1 TB NVME, 16 GB Dual channel RAM, 1TB 7200. I'd share a pic if I could figure out how.
Very happy with it, but it is my first experience with a gaming laptop, and next time round I will most likely make a few different choices.
Your newest purchase

They'll be good enough considering they're already paid for, especially for casual use.yermum wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:32 am Do you rate Stihl chainsaws? our house was bought under probate and had a whole suite of Stihl chainsaws and strimmers etc in the garage...

This. I tend to use a lot of second hand equipment if I can get a hold of good stuff. If you know small engines and machinery you should be able to have a pretty good idea of what you are buying. I use Honda HRX mowers and the depreciation is mad. New about £900 but a three year old domestically used one can be had for £300 with the sort of mileage that I will put on it in a month.usemame wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 10:08 amThey'll be good enough considering they're already paid for, especially for casual use.yermum wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:32 am Do you rate Stihl chainsaws? our house was bought under probate and had a whole suite of Stihl chainsaws and strimmers etc in the garage...

Have someone service the saw. Then get a mate to show you how to use it.usemame wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 10:08 amThey'll be good enough considering they're already paid for, especially for casual use.yermum wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:32 am Do you rate Stihl chainsaws? our house was bought under probate and had a whole suite of Stihl chainsaws and strimmers etc in the garage...

I got a mint second hand Oculus Rift CV1 from a work colleague over the weekend.
iRacing is simply transformed using it. Totally awesome! Did a race with in on Sunday, was running a handy second place, challenging for 1st in the MX5, before snatching 1st gear by mistake with 3 laps to go to drop to 4th. I haven't got it working properly in Squadrons yet, need to reconfigure the controllers.
The HP Reverb 2 looks epic, but needs a 2060S or better to run in full res.

Makes an enormous difference, especially when working on multiple docs and comes apps at the same time

I only had that picture though so I couldn't see the reverse. I have some of these badges including 2 x 1956, a 1974 and a 1938 (). It was in a job lot of 4 badges and one of them was a Salisbury Lawn Bowls badge so I figured 1974 as the Lions played there in 74.
Bid on it and won it for R50.
Collected it and had a look:
This made me quite pleased as the 1938 is worth about R12k
I still have the Lions badges you gave me

Just bought Helix Native Software, it is the software that runs on the Helix floor, LT etc (all those effects, amps, IRs, Speakers etc), you can run on your PC. for a significantly reduced price.
If you own a Helix Product, you can get it for 90 quid. It is usually something like 340 quid.
Funny thing is my USB interface was giving me serious latency issues, (so when I struck a note on the Guitar, it would come in a bit later), so I was actually using my Full helix as a USB interface to use the Helix Sofware on my computer.
It sounded great. No surprise really since I was using the most expensive audio interface in history.
Since got my crappy (in comparison) Behringer audio interface to work with no latency.
This is great software btw.

finally upgrading from my very old well used G27

As is mine, cheeky blighters. I can turn it on from my mobile and by the time I walk into the shower room it's at a very comfy 38 degrees.
It's a bit of a gadget but once you have one, there's no going back.

Bought a cheapish mesh chair for a home office at the start of the year. It's reasonably comfortable and have had no back or shoulder issues. However it squeaks like nobody's business. Driving me mental and will have to invest in something that's put together a little better.
