To further extend this; didn't have the photos on hand earlier:

That shifter though...

 

[Hetare21]

Creative Sound Blaster E5 and Fiio X3 (Gen2). 43K yen total.

Got my tax refund back and after paying off some lingering bills and putting a bit aside in our savings, I had enough left over to get the rack for my truck. Went with a Prinsu Designs one since the owner/fabricator is a member on the Tacoma forums and everyone raves about the quality of his racks. Figured he'd be worth supporting. Plus, unlike the FrontRunner rack, it wasn't $900.

Are you planning on just using that for hauling gear or are you eventually going to put a rooftop tent on there as well?

And agreed, racks are freaking expensive, and without many of people making much of them..

Oh dear what have I done now.....

Awesome, I just recently purchased the t3pa pro pedals and shifter. The pedals are so much better than the stock pedals.

SilverStone TJ08-E Case (I always wanted this but ended up getting the GD08 for main PC. Bought to move current PC parts and use as second PC as couldn't be bothered to find individual boxes of the components. However tempted to use case as main PC as it is so compact):

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 Limited World of Tank Edition (Has Intel USB 3.1 controller 👍)

Intel® Core™ i7-6700K

Kingston HyperX FURY 32 GB 2666 MHz 1.2V DDR4 CL15 Ram

HGST Travelstar 1TB 2.5" 7K1000 SATA 3 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive (For most of Steam Library, hopefully be quieter than 3.5" drive I currently use.)

512GB Samsung SM951, M.2 (22x80) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, MLC NAND, Read 2150MB/s, Write 1550MB/s, 300k IOPS

Hopefully I don't break anything and it all works.

And How much money did you blow on this?

.... the right thing.

Not sure, hopefully money well spent.

I don't think it will support the weight of a roof top tent, plus me. I think for the most part I'll be putting gear on it that I don't want in the truck, but I do want to get an ARB awning for it.

Something like that will do wonders while camping since it will provide a spot to cook, sit, etc. if the weather is bad.

What about GPU?

 

[Adamgp]

Just ordered some birthday presents to myself from Amazon:

1/18 scale 1970 Chevelle SS454:

1/18 scale 1968 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR:

A set of BBQ pigtails:

And lastly, a cookbook:

 

[Tunerguy21]

Got these towards the end of last month on Amazon, but it is technically my latest purchase. The most interesting one, anyway.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

What about GPU?

Already have GTX 970, waiting until Pascal and Polaris GPUs to come out before upgrading. I don't game much, upgrading for lower power consumption, heat and better benchmark scores (Hopefully this score should be easy to beat: Link).

Haven't played pCARS in a really long time with a wheel (Version number is probably five times higher since last time), will make at least some use of my gaming PC by taking part in the NCS and hopefully make #CuteLap a thing.

4GB?

 

[Saidur_Ali]

4GB?

Yep, well 3.5GB at full speed.

I might buy one to replace my 770 2GB ACX.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Best to wait for the new stuff to come out, might be announced today regarding Nvidia. Hopefully it launches in May: Link

 

[Crash]

I've been pretty good about holding off GAS, but I've been eyeing this for a while and it's time to get it: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM



The retailer kit also came with some extras like a glass cleaning set, extra hood/shade and cheapo UV, circular polarizer and ND filters. I'll probably pick up some B+W or Hoya filters a bit later on down the road to replace the cheapo filters that came with it.

 

[Shaun]

Very nice @Crash 👍

 

[Sprite]

Well Gunship did it. A vinyl release of thier self titled album from last year. I had to have it, along with the slipmat.

Double picture disc in a slip cover looking like a Floppy Disc. The slipmat shows the Neon wireframe mountain image.

I bought this pack, and it will be my last.

Completely waterproof, heavy duty etc.

Mountain Hardware Rainshadow 36L

This is the end all, be all @ $169.99. The last bag I purchased is already falling apart after a month and a few days.

I have to say, that looks like a great pack but nothing is truly waterproof unless it's made from plastic and has watertight closures. Please do test it to prove me wrong though.

Spending that money on a pack should mean you don't ever need another one. Looks much bigger than a 36ltr in that pic.

I've had a North Face 40ltr forever and it's still in daily use. Good packs are worth the money.

You're right with the waterproofness, I think. I've read in some places that it can take dunks in a creek without water getting in. I'm not too sure.

I didn't mention the rebate/discount that I get for employment reasons. It's more than 30% off, though I can't specify.

I'm tired of backpacks failing me constantly, so I decided to max out. This thing is going to see some heavy usage. (I also have one of their top rated rain shells coming in.)

Here's a link with a description of the bag's waterproof technology and other stuff.

Verry happy with it! Using the stick from the G25 as a handbrake now

Is there an adapter to use the g25 shifter on the TM kits?

 

[MarcoM]

Not that I know off.

But just to be clear, I use the G25 wheels and pedals AND the TH8s on separate usb ports.

 

[Ibonibo]

Okay 👍 thanks for the clarification

Found one: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=188

@TB

Sony SA WMSP601.
175w RMS. 30-200HZ. 200mm woofer.

For 25,-
That should be enough.

 

[TB]

That should be enough.

Only one? You make baby Jebuz cry.
