I ordered a suit from one of those cheap knock-off things on ebay (that uses those same mannequins/poses) for $100 and I've had it for two years and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm sure it's poo poo quality to someone who knows what to look for, but it feels super nice to me and it looks sharp as gently caress. The thing about fashion and all that is that you reach a point where the only people you're impressing are other self-proclaimed clothing experts and really who gives a gently caress. The suit (or coat in this case) may not impress the dude who spends $2000 on an outfit, but it will look awesome to 99.9% of the people you meet. E: poo poo new page.  It was $70 for 500GB and is a pretty big upgrade over my Seagate (blech) 75GB I bought for like $130 two years ago. drat you technology.

Even so, you overpaid. You paid $.14/gig, this is 2TB for $109, $.055/gig. I bought a 1/8" male to male cable, to hook up my iphone to the aux port on my car, and a car-charger USB adaptor, so I can charge my iphone in my car. Cost at Best Buy: probably $30 for each. Cost at monoprice: about $2.50.

LOL Bullshit you cant compare a full size desktop drive and power supply $/gig with a laptop size drive in a USB powered enclosure. Of course it's going to cost more for the portability. At least I'm assuming what he posted was a portable drive, not a full 3.5" desktop drive?

Magic Underwear posted:Even so, you overpaid. You paid $.14/gig, this is 2TB for $109, $.055/gig. 1. I don't even really need 500GB, I definitely don't need to pay $40 more for 2TB. 2. Mine supports USB 3.0, yours doesn't 3. Mine doesn't require a power cable and is this big:  \/\/\/ I don't know, I've had the 75GB for two years and literally just filled it up for the first time a month ago. I've had an 8GB ipod for a long time and I've never felt like it was too small. If I run out of room, I just take off stuff I haven't listened to in months. Some people feel the need to collect every bit of electronic data they've ever obtained and store it somewhere. They're like data hoarders. Maybe I'm just weird. mr. mephistopheles fucked around with this message at Jan 11, 2011 around 14:59 |

Wait a few years and you'll be glad you got one bigger than you ever thought you needed. Movies, games, music. That poo poo all adds up. I'm at 250 when I thought I would never need over 100. I'll add content since my last post didn't have any.

I have a short commute that is pretty well lit, so I didn't need some ultra bright light to see with (even though they also have self contained, high lumen output USB options as well). I got tired of batteries dying and worrying about recharging. With this thing I can just charge it at work or at home from my workstation.

Tastes change yet people still want to watch old movies and listen to music they watched and listened to back when they were younger. I used to love death metal. I don't listen to it 24/7 anymore, but it's nice to blast Metallica or Black Dahlia Murder every once in a while, so I keep all those gigs and gigs around. Also porn.

Well what should I have bought then? It can't be worse than my old Seagate. Slim Killington posted:Are these still available somewhere? I didn't get to buy them when I originally saw them and if they're available somewhere, I need them. Lots of online stores still have them, but mostly in weird sizes. If your feet aren't really small or really big, then ebay is probably your only real option.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Well what should I have bought then? It can't be worse than my old Seagate. I bought a relatively inexpensive external enclosure and use a 250GB WD drive as a backup now. I think the enclosure cost all of $25 and it supports both SATA and IDE interface types, which was nice since I had an older 40GB IDE drive that had data on it for my job and it was on the brink of failing. Made it nice since I could just completely wipe the 250GB and format it with NTFS, and didn't have to worry about the 700MB virtual partition (like Lenny mentioned) - just plug it into USB and go. Here's the enclosure I bought and the place I got it from, since they have a walk-in store a couple miles from my place: http://ditcorp.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=...B340UPS&eq=&Tp=

 I haven't listened to it yet, going to do that tomorrow. $10 at BestBuy. So far the only thing I don't like is how the cover is so much different from their other album covers. Hopefully that's the only thing I don't like.

Went to Goodwill and bought a new and unused 2 cup Bialetti Moka Express for $1.99. For when I have company over, I also bought a like brand new 50-some year old 8 cup Revere Ware stovetop percolator for $2.99. Both purchases free up valuable counter space and give me better caffeine in the morning   (GIS'd percolator pic; not actual one, but almost the same)

FidgetyRat posted:Just if anyone was interested. Corsair makes the H50 which is a closed-loop water cooler that I found performes just as good, if not better then massive air coolers, is very quiet, and blows the air directly out of the case rather then inside the case. It's closed-loop, so it's sealed at the factory, vey low chance of leakage, and never needs to be filled or topped off.. Also costs about as much as a huge fan. Not that I disagree with you, but I've found that my case is actually cooler with my new cooler master. I positioned the fan to blow air out the back and I honestly have zero problems with my case overheating, it just requires a bit of lateral thinking. The biggest problem like you pointed out is size. I actually had to take out some ram to fit the fan on properly and had a tough time getting it back it.

I've got a pair of suedes which are easy to find in white, but I've found very few full leather ones and they're usually around $400 whereas these were under $200.

Well, I wanted to buy a 32GB MicroSD card for my Droid Pro, but the chucklefucks at Amazon's Komputerbay LTD "Lectronic Parts 'N Live Bait Hyuk" shop only sent an empty SD-to-MicroSD adapter. I strongly suspect some enterprising young man between there and here is now 32GB richer. At least Amazon was prompt about issuing a refund and return label. Here's what did arrive:  Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Ear Protection  Here's what's going to arrive somewhat later:  Sealed case of Series 3 Lego Collectible Minifigs

Seconding the Lego Also those muffs kick rear end. They come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack hook up. Listen to music while shooting and it keeps the music at the same level as everything else so you can still hear everyone else talking. There is nothing more relaxing than long distance target shooting while listening to classical music.

mr. mephistopheles posted:What the gently caress are these and why have I never heard of them? Lego has been putting out collections of blind-pack "collectible" minifigs for about a year now. They're currently on their third series. Fun fact: For the first two series, they had barcodes on the bags that only lasted as long as it took one nerd with a barcode reader and some disposable income to buy a box. You haven't heard about them, because assholes like me buy the loving things a case at a time, so they're never on the shelves long enough for normal people to see them. Because they're so awesome: Series 1:  Series 2:  Series 3:  Series 4 (to be released "sometime next quarter"):  A lot of their fun comes from their accessories. The zombie came with a leg of...something, and you can be drat sure it wasn't turkey. The mime comes with extra heads with different expressions. Gorilla Suit Guy comes with a banana.
