Logitech Z515 portable wireless speaker.

Portable sound via 3.5mm audio jack, USB, and bluetooth.
Perfect companion to my netbook and smartphone.

Oh, and it gets REALLY loud.



Asus Xonar DX sound card.
Its about time I use a 'proper' discrete sound card.



N900 Game Gripper

Quite possibly the best accessory you can get for your N900. :happy0203:



...and last but certainly not least,

Samsung P2770HD multifunction LCD monitor.

Good LORD this thing is big.
Pics and mini-review later.



Did not get my 6870s, as Ezone under some pressure, but they promised
if I could come pick them up, they would have em.  I shall walk with my
Vinktova Snaiperskaia Spetselnaya just in case.  :(

Got this http://www.amazon.com/NuForce-Icon-Mobile-headphone-amplifier/dp/B001NXSS9S/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1293088408&sr=1-7
and a guild wars upgrade and bought audio surf on steam.
Had a 100 dollar rebate card from verizon, visa debit, not reloadable though, so hunted amazon to see what i could get for a 100 shipping inclusive.
First was ordering this
http://www.amazon.com/Dean-Vendetta-Electric-Guitar-Mahogany/dp/B0018TBECU/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1293169895&sr=1-3
but after amazon's 2 dollar fees for making an order and signing up for prime free month trial, i was short 57 cents and they wouldnt let the order proceed lol.

So got the dac amp and the other lil purchases.

ordered this from amazon yesterday
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NSLO7Y/ref=oss_product

read plenty positive reviews and it has vibration.

Got it this week, not disappointed at all.

+
detachable mic,
usb and 3.5mm audio (I only use USB)
7.1 works good
has led and vibration (led lights unnecessary imo, can't even see it when i have it on; vibration adds intensity to epic battles and dramatic scenes. Also can adjust the levels).
Long cord
mute mic button
battery pack for vibration and lights if you don't want to plug in the usb.
decent sound quality and no interference at high volumes (I'm not an audiophile but owned a couple headsets including a sennheiser)
has decent bass, and more impact with vibration on.
noise cancellation works as intended

-
when vibration is on but on low setting, I will sometimes hear the sound like you hear in your stereo when a cellphone is going to ring. When vibration is off or turned up high, the sound is absent.

saw some people say the headphones broke after using a few times. I see nothing that like this but I handle them carefully  only because I read that.

Overall I would say its worth the cash, has a lot of features and options

Great product, sleek and the speakphone is very loud
quality to stereo also impressive and the speakerphone has a voice notification ( a female voice)

easy to use (one click answer, end call, ignore, etc).

However after using it for half an hour, I realised its not my style (guess that's why I never bought a bluetooth handsfree). Might put up for sale since I know I will hardly use it.

Great product for those who will use it, and blackberry branded ( bb runs this country).

A new samsung Q430 laptop from on amazon, my first laptop. Oh my I am in love with this thing.

It's 14 inches but boasts of:

Intel i5 @ 2.53GHz
4gb DDR3
500gig HDD
Win 7 Home Premium
Led backlit screen (As someone on amazon said horrible viewing angle but it's perfect for me cause nosey people can't easily see you laptop screen from the side lol)

My early birthday gift to myself :P

For the specs/features, I'd say the price is rather splendid.

...and the Nvidia Optimus tech means that when you're at the desktop
it uses the integrated GPU, but if you fire up a game, it switches, on the fly,
to the discrete 310M GPU.  Pretty kick@$$ piece of kit there.

The rest of the specs are nothing to scoff at either...AND its got a LED display.
A Core i5 CPU, and 4GB of DDR3 for THAT price?  Hellz yeah.


I want one.  :)



...and I just realized that its a Amazon Prime item, so that's FREE shipping to Miami
and its 'only' 7 lbs, so roughly 140 TT to ship from Miami, and there's no VAT/duty to pay.

For about roughly 5000 TT, yeah, that laptop is rather 'bess'.

Redfish...I'm officially jealous.  :P

@O/C I actually got it for 650us as it seemed to be on sale earlier in the month.

Paid like 237TTD to UPxpress on delivery so it cost me about 4400TTD in total for it.

I'd say not bad a bad deal for my fist laptop....

@ Arcman, boy I am also loving the fact that the keys are spaced so I don't press nearby keys by mistake as I hate that with other laptops!!

Been putting on all my goodies last night so still haven't tried a game on it just yet, not like I want a gaming laptop anyway.......

I'm quite fine with this heheh
