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.

I'll help out

Cheers ASMO, not the prettiest laptop, but as far as gaming machines go I like the look.

Also, screw you TB63 - I can't help it, I'm just a stupid yaarpie.

I have fired up the strimmers and used them and they were fine. I have been a bit of a chicken shit about using the chainsaw incase I kill myself...

They'll be good enough considering they're already paid for, especially for casual use.

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.

Have someone service the saw. Then get a mate to show you how to use it.

Linked to your facebook account... though I doubt they'll show your preferences. Have to imagine that it would look incredible...

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.

You don't have to link to a FB account (I don't have one).

What are they Sorc? Any historical significance?

I collect rugby badges and immediately recognized the British & Irish Lions players badge on the right. 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

Good stuff. Those were from the 74 Tour.

I still have the Ugo Monye Tour Jersey. Pristine condition...only worn once.

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.

This little fella is now pootling around my flat.

Isn't this one of the Globby Gadgets that caused a lot of mirth on the Other Side?

How very dare you, i will have you know mine is real!!

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.

Replacing all my 15-20 year old Makita power tools.

Old one was shedding fauxleather and summer was unbearable

Nice one
I need a new one of those. My current one is falling apart and just doesn't support my back properly

Just got it delivered

Wanted a non "leather" as in summer it's unbearable.

This is all mesh fabric and So far happy with it (sitting on it for 30 minutes)

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.

Not what I was planning to buy..but had to :(


But finally got what I had been wanting for a long time....thanks to a little bonus at work...yes, way too much, but a fat man has to eat...Kamado Big Joe III
