New headphones. My old headphones died and I saw these for $60. They're actually really good. Wouldn't consider them a "fun" pair to listen to but the clarity these offer is amazing. And I don't have to lower the volume every time the drummer smashes the cymbals.

These seem like a good pair of in-ears, HiFiMAN has made some interesting products.

I always preferred good in-ears, although I haven't used them since I can park my car in front of my workplace and didn't need to walk to work or school. I'm not doing any activities that allows me to use these (over more comfortable headphones) so my M1 Brainwavz have been sitting in it's pocket case for a while now, ununsed and sad.

Waiting on my anemometer to arrive before I can post the article those images are from ;) Yes, I am actually testing airflow against the manufacturer specs!

Let's try this album thingie:


Akasa Tesla H case, to replace the noisy Intel NUC case. I'm not scoring SFF points with this when it's over double the size, but atleast it's passive ! And I think there is enough room for a GPU in there...

My new "mousepad" just arrived:



My keyboard is so pimp, it too needs a soft precision surface. Whateves man !



My equipment is getting another add-on, my dad had this lab PSU "laying around" for a few years: gimme !
You can also see the other stuff I've gathered the past year, with the soldering iron, cables and the Fluke tester also being barn-find treasures my dad saved if his ancient gear ever gave out.

Whoops, forgot about these:



Noctua Redux NF-P14r fans, for the Xigmatek Nebula. Yeah, I know, it doesn't have holes. Yet.

Oooh it looks familiar but I can't place it ! Seems to be an interesting design. Is it overhanging for RAM clearance ?

I have already done the first mod, because the power LED was projecting a blue disc on the opposite wall. Damn bright blue LEDs...


I used an orange opaque LED sleeve.


Now it's pinkish purple. Oh yes and not retina-burning bright.

Well, it's still pretty damn small! I'm smelling an awesome build, but I don't think there are any GPUs under 150mm length...

It's a bit hard to see on the picture, but what did you actually do to the case? Soldered a different LED in? A resistor?

The LED itself is blue, I used a tiny 3mm orange rubber sleeve/cap over it, which you can see in the photo.

I have one of those too, with Europlugs. I like the built-in USB chargers !
