Meh, seems fair to me. Though yours is high lol, I had a $1000 monitor purchase and it was under $10

Yeah the prices/categories went up/were changed as of April 1st

Freezer7Pro: I don't come here a lot anymore.; +1,447|6416|Winland

I got myself a bunch of old stereos (didn't see that coming, huh), as well as a mechanical IBM keyboard (for awesome takka takka typan), and a 32" LCD TV, which I am to fix for a local TV repair shop. They have another one with the same problem lying about, but it's missing the rear panel, so if I find and fix the problem I get to keep it ^_^

God damn, I love typing on this keyboard. I could type forever.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

It's new technology to them (recycled/donated from other countries), but they can't figure it out so they just give it to Freezer

No, some newer model from 1993.

I work in conjunction with a local electronics repair shop these days. I get to take care of the stuff that requires more work than what they're willing to put into it. I'm hoping to get some scores out of it and make a buck at the same time.

So my CPU > your CPU

I was gonna buy his Q9550 didn't have the cash at the time..

Besides, the Q9550 is basically a Q9300 with a better multi.

I just sent a £ as I've never used Paypal before so I was making sure I got it all right.

I hope you understand what you're paying for.

Um, jah? One of the best CPUs to fit my socket, for a price much less than what I'd pay for a new one? It has almost the same performance as an i5..

it is more epic because he has a lisp and pronounces it as finray or maybe he is part chinese and writes it like he pronounces it
