Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta IV in nearly mint condition with the user manual and original box. Picked it up for 5 bucks at a garage sale. It should sell for somewhere between $400 and $700 on eBay. It was top-o-the-line tech 60 years ago.

Also finally took the dive into smartphones and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3. Paid a bit more than $5 for it though.

Meter and advance working? Nice.
 
My wife saw this thread and laughed, saying "See, men are very similar to women, we love talking about our recent shopping experiences!" 🙂

I personally feel that the difference is that men generally focus on the end result whereas women like the process of shopping.

A man will spend 20 dollars for a 10 dollar item he needs.

A woman will spend 10 dollars for a 20 dollar item she doesnt need.
 
16GB flash drive last week to replace my shitty old 2GB one that broke.

Flash drives are the modern floppy disk. You should have plenty of them laying around. I've got about five 2GB, and one each of 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Various devices in my house can only access certain capacities, so I need flexibility.
 
Parts for my new (budget) FreeNAS box:

Intel G2020 2.9GHz
Gigabyte GA-H77N mini-itx
Corsair 8GBx1
Toshiba 2TB (ZFS stripe) (another on the way)
Corsair CX430
CM Elite 120 mini-itx
Ext USB 2TB, to backup internal data drive

No need for a gfxcard, optical drive, kb, mouse or monitor. Boots off a 2GB thumbdrive.
 
Hyundai Elantra with blutooth and voice activated electronics.
This car is a high tech device on wheels.

what car are you coming from? Cars with bluetooth have been out a while now. 😉 Too bad my '08 is one of the earlier ones and only does voice and no music. My wife's '13 Sonata works great with music from my GNex phone.
 
Oh right, I got some Sennheiser HD439 a few weeks back. Have not really used them because I'm trying to air out the strong chemical off-gassing smell from the foam cups.
