Done taking vacations for awhile, looking for more parts for my stuff. Shipping will be to 95926.
Looking for a tablet for my GF now. Her daughter bought a SFPro 3, but she is using an old Galaxy S3 that is starting to have some issues. She tried to take a printscreen the other day and got a damaged drive error and thought the phone was dead. (rebooted twice, working now.) Cracks in screen, etc. She is familiar with Android and probably wants to stay that way. She won't want a large unit, something small that fits in one hand. I prefer something with front and back camera's for obvious reasons. Will look at all offers, but not horribly motivated at the moment, though it would be nice to find something by Sept for our anni. Mostly looking for a good deal.
Just remembered I want a "Windows XP gaming laptop". Basically I'm looking for a laptop I can throw XP on and play my classic games that don't work right in Win7. I can't get Galactic battlegrounds to load at all, and Axis and Allies loads, but the mouse moves to fast and none the buttons to press are visible. Probably hoping it has a higher end C2D or C2Q, 2GBs of ram (but will entertain the idea of 1GB, more so if it has open slots.) and something that runs games well in XP. Don't need/want newer hardware as drivers might be hard to find. AMD options are ok as well. Not looking to spend a ton on this either as I won't use it a lot of the time. It also needs to have a dedicated IGP/GPU from ATI/AMD or Nvidia. Intel "extreme" doesn't cut it.
Interested smart watches. More like interested in workout watches. Looking for a strapless heart rate monitor (HRM) that can preferably provide a constant readout though willing to get one that uses fingers for the reading. Need two, one for me and GF. She doesn't have a cell phone (I know, I'm working on it.) so don't need a lot of fancy stuff. I have a Oneplus one and don't mind extras. Even if you don't have one but know of a good one that can be used while working out I'm happy to hear suggestions.
And of course my favorite, "stuff". I'm using a 3770k, 16GBs of ram, 7950, 128 and 256GB Samsung SSDs, 2x 4TB hdd, Capstone 450W Gold PSU, Eyefinity 1080 setup on an actual mount, Z5500 5.1 speakers, Coolermaster 212+. Mouse? Keyboard? Good headphones? Anyone have a USB OTG adapter? Possibly a steering wheel, but I'm less sure about that. (I handle Blur just fine, but Dirt3 gave me fits.) What do you guys have that I didn't realize I need? For the keyboards, mice, headphones, etc I don't do wireless. Wifi is good, but wireless things that run out of battery power while gaming is bad. For headphones, I'm mostly interested in a set that is for gaming, with a mic and everything. One of my 4TB drives is acting up, anyone have a new one or one that is larger?
