Going to use it to run a linux distro, just to have a look. Verified with the Gibson app as it was from Amazon.

Because my wife somehow accidentally flipped her mouse dongle into the firepit, I had to buy this:

Don’t forget that’s Aussie $$

So expect that it would be US$twenny nien fiddy
Sorry US$29.50

Our dollar is dead.

johnlgalt · Oct 23, 2024

Uh, more like $2,787. And definitely not $29 and fifty cents. :lmao:

When you bought it the rates may have been different - and I could see $2950 - but not $29.50, unless your Aussie dollars are worth the same as the Yen.

antspants · Oct 23, 2024

I simply can’t math, is my response

So US$2787 halved (Discounted)

US$1,391.00

I went bananas this morning...

I am so broke, but my PC is now so fast it is just insane, so I guess I am pleased as well as broke.

It's been a very long time since I've played a classical guitar. In fact, I gave my niece my Alhambra classical guitar. Well, I decided I want to get back into playing, so I bought this:

Ignore the Amazon rating. Guitar World and another guitar site gave this excellent reviews.

To protect it when I'm not playing it, I also bought this case:

Both will be here Tuesday. I am very excited about the purchase!

Where'd you get it from and how much?

I find I need another Bolt dongle as my Logitech combo package only included one, and I'm not running both the keyboard and mouse on the same system. Mouse is on main system; Logitech Keys keyboard has been relegated to backup system as I much prefer my Craft Keyboard.

Anyway, because of that split, I require two Bolt dongles as the one you show above doesn't support either the Keys or MX Master 3S mouse.

Enjoy the new build. I'm prepping for a new build within the next few months. Just waiting for the availability of Gigabyte's Z890 Extreme AI Top motherboard. Yeah, expensive board, but I've always liked Gigabyte's Extreme boards and have one with my current build in system specs.

I'll be pairing it with Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K CPU. RAM will be 64gig Corsair Dominator Titanium - (4x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz CL32. Some parts will be reused from current system - Case, drives, AIO cooler, GPU. Do need a newer PS.

The funds have been allocated, just waiting to see when the Z890 Extreme board is going to become available. Was going to do a build in June, but the money went into my Hi-Fi system since I'd heard rumors of the new Intel 890 boards.

Sounds like a nice build. I am jealous, but it is way out of my price range. I would get flayed alive if I came home with that. lol

It's also expensive to me, but I tend to plan (save money) in advance for the toys I want for special occasions - Christmas, Birthdays.

And, when you work all your life and retire you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.... whatever it may be

And I have a wife, two kids, and grandchildren. None of them are complaining

Thanks.

I was going to wait until the holiday sales came about, but I couldn't pass this up.

Play Points offered me a 30% off on a new phone, and I was curious, so I looked into it - and they are offering me $450 for my pristine Pixel 6 Pro, which is currently my backup to my backup phone lol (I have the P6Pro, P7Pro, and the P8Pro, the last being my daily driver right now).

The Discount is the 30% off (subtotal is for the Obsidian 1 TB version). And at the top is the eventual credit I will get for the trade-in, plus the additional Store credit I get at the bottom for being a Google One member.

Arrives next week.
