Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

[Dawelio]

He bought 4 x 1080's on launch day, 4 x Titan XP's, 4 x 1080 Ti's on launch day, 4 x Titan Xp's, 1 x Titan V, He drives a BMW X series off roader, His house looks like it belongs to Tony Stark, I could go on but you get the picture ^_^

The first 90% of this post sounds about like Kaapstad lol. Now I'm curious as to how/what is house looks like? Got a picture or so, by any chance? ^_^ (Big fan of mansions etc )

One of the most popular places to purchase steroids is at the gym, and often from employees. Quite sure there was even a bbc documentary on it. Maybe thats where his cash is coming from.

The last gym I worked at had a guy who sold steroids so I reported him to the police, Can't stand that crap, Everyone in my work has zero tolerance for any type of drug.

Didn't know you were an F1 fan Dug.

 

[AlienALX]

How many arms do you have? I think Dug is an octopus in disguise lmao.

Love the Breitling. You've obviously made it in life

Few bits for me. I bought a 990 plate (rocking horse poo) as my new bike is brakeless and that kinda scares me..

Some blue cable guides.

Cable (I have the calipers)

And some screechers to every one off.

Proper headset.

Stand

And some new cells, given mine are about 3 years old.

Wholeheartedly agree. I'd rather go to my crappy-for-weight-lifting-but-lovely-atmosphere leisure centre than the dark, depressing iron-pumping gym in my town that looks shady and has guys trying to sell you gear.

I should ask you how many pairs of legs do you have with all your bikes these days

Sadly even the pleasant gyms here have people like that. I just slap on my shures, drown out the ambience and completely ignore everyone.

Yeah, sometimes that's all you can do. It gets awkward sometimes in my own gym though because there's some I like to have a chin wag with before and after a session (or during if I'm doing strength training and take four minutes rests) and we always end up putting our earbuds in and out of our ears awkwardly.

"All right, Dan, how are you mate?"

"Oh, hey John. What's that?" *takes out my earbuds*

"Sorry?" *takes our their earbuds*

"I said what did you say?"

"Oh, yeah, *hah* how are you?"

"I'm OK. How are you?"

Just got myself a new Cooler Master MM520 Mouse. Basically the modern iteration of the Xornet (my current day-to-day mouse)

Bought the old Xornet years ago (Feb 2013) and have used the Xornet II with my laptop for quite some time now (Since August 2016).

The Old Xornet is squeaking and having a few issues now. It's about time the old girl retired.

Very nice, Dug. Always been a huge fan of those two particular watches, especially the Planet Ocean. Way out of my budget, though.

I did get myself a Hamilton on my trip to NYC last week. It's a souvenir that will last me a lifetime. Crossed off multiple bucketlist items wearing it, too. Walked the Brooklyn Bridge, ate at steak at Delmonico's, visited the UN, etc.

It's at a jeweler's store atm sadly, as it ran at +17 sec/day. The dial isn't properly lumed, either, but it's an authentic watch. Probably a QC error, which to me makes the watch a bit more special. They could've probably replaced the dial for me, but I decided to keep it this way.

 

[AlienALX]

i am way too old for a BMX. lol

Nah, you're not. You just need to get the right size man. This is my GT Speed Series XXL I have been building since last November. It is having a gearing crisis atm so I need a new back wheel (got all of the parts.. Hub, rim, new drive etc) but yeah, this thing is long man. 21.75 top tube. It was raced in the olympics in 2012.

Far, far too big for a kid. It's bloody fast too. I just got these for my Carlo Griggs build. They were £40, £5 more than putting a decent paint job on the white ones I had.

And a chain.

Well got insane of thinking 2700x vs 8700k

A guy on a danish forum wanted to downgrade from 7900x
I asked about swapping from my 4790k
But a day later i said no. To much overkill, would rather get a 8700k

A guy with a 8700k joins in. I suggested a 3 way swap. With some price ideas.

Then a some days went by with nothing, and then the 7900x guy contacted me again.
(we live in the same city, so it would be a easy swap)
Initially he wanted 7500Dkk (889£) + my build
Then came back with 6500Dkk (771£)
I said no, only needed a 8700k.
Next day 6000Dkk (712£) (My initial price idea)

Swapped 4790k (delidded), Asus Z87i-Pro and 16gb of 2400mhz ram
For 7900x (delidded), Asrock x299E-ITX/AC + 32gb 2400mhz ram

I think 712£ is a killer price

The haul so far.

Purple bar ends.

I then realised I had no brake stop ffs.

Which created another problem. How the jeff am I gonna drill straight holes inside a frame tube?

So I should finally be able to stop lol.
