What was your latest tech purchase?

[Kadarin]

I haven't bought anything tech related since January when I got my Mac Mini (beginning of thread). I've been buying guns instead, just in case a certain meth addict once again decides she wants my stuff more than I do.

Bought a new 2013 Macbook Air 256Gb. Now I own five Airs.

Crystals for my time machine. The ones that came with it must have expired or something.

If any of you could've told me that first I would have really appreciated it. *guffaw*

Needed a new USB drive to keep on my key chain, settled on this yesterday: (it was on sale for $9.99 at the time).

I want the $700 Orangutan and $300 baboon. Damn shipping too expensive, so I'll have to make a cross border trip.


Other tech stuff I've acquired since April... Did I have my SSD yet? If not, that's one. I blew $30 on some NERF toys for shits and giggles -- holy shit, they did not make them like this when I was young.

I might get a Blu-ray player soon, but I hate collecting DVDs/Blurays because I usually never watch them again after one or two viewings. However, I stopped going to theaters and Amazon has many new releases for $15 after a few months.

I was about to buy some compressed air off Amazon but saw the Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac:

It's not really "tech" but I'm excited to see how well it works...

I just got the Silicon Power version of that, only the head is a little larger so it fits on your keyring better:

http://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-...dp/B00A35WYBA/

16gb = $13
32gb = $19
64gb = $40

It's pretty sturdy, I have about 10 keys on my keychain and it has handle the abuse pretty well. It sure beats having the rubber ones that lose caps, break the keychain connector, or are hard to pull out of your pocket from the anti-skid rubberized coating. And definitely beats having a lanyard! haha.

Did you get the Celeron or ARM? Looking at the ARM model to live on the couch. Hate browsing on tablets

nope, it's just a regular old jamma cabinet. i have ki1, ki2, mk1, and mk2 that plug/play. here is it in action after i put the new parts in. the old ones were just really worn down it feels a lot better now. i hadn't touched it in years until they announced ki at e3.

i may eventually turn my cab into a mame cabinet but not sure yet. i really want to keep it in the garage since it's so damn heavy/big and i don't want to fuck up my floors wheeling it into my mancave lol. but it gets hot in the summer out there and cold in the winter out there.

Plastic envelope for laminating. You can just heat them with your iron.

Was looking at a acer chrome book this morning. It seems nice but I have no reason to get it. Already got a real laptop and I do all my school work from it. No need for a gimped laptop.

I bet you'll be one of the ones that'll be too cheap to preorder a PS4 and Xbone....

 

[purbeast0]

I see that you're one of the ones that'll be too cheap to preorder a PS4 and Xbone?

actually those would be my 2nd and 3rd most recent tech purchases, a preorder for both of them as soon as they were available on amazon

That thing would be a winner at ~$30. At ~$60, it's a harder sell; I go through maybe 3 to 4 large cans of "air" each year.

It's worth every penny. I own one of those and I've been using it for years.

I bought an Optimus G Pro last week. Paid retail. I immediately regretted it. But I still like the phone, and my Note II screen was busted.

Installed a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X697 receiver into my Jeep Wrangler the other day. I love it!
