A Nvidia GT730 ... don't laugh! - for 15 quid it was a upgrade compared to the HD5670 that was in before - and I'm now toting a Kepler based card with Windows 10 DX12 goodness (FL 11_0) ... I thought Kepler got FL 11_1

A replacement power supply/charger for my HP laptop. I left the original at my mothers place in Cornwall. Unfortuantely it's an "intelligent" one so even providing power to the socket on the machine of the right voltage and polarity won't actually charge the battery. Connector is one of those barrel and pin types but I think it actually has a third connection on the inner wall of the barrel.

Visit to Ikea where we bought the wee one the PAX Wardrobe frame in white stained oak effect, KOMPLEMENT Wire basket with pull-out rail, 2 KOMPLEMENT clothes rail, VIKEDAL mirror door with soft close hinges.

His Dad has already built it up for his return :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Our nearest Ikea is 120 miles away so unless one comes down our way we will not be going to one anytime soon.

Picked up a Canon 1200D twin lens from PC world, it's ok but not as good as my old Sony A350 (which I sold 4 or so years ago) Also a Canon ISUX 275 HS.

We (I) have a Fuji HS10 & HS30EXR, Nikon P610, Canon 1200D, Ixus 275.

A car. The Metro is in my garage awaiting some TLC so I needed another vehicle and a friends son was selling his: A Mitsubishi Colt, 5 door. About 6 years old but only 45K on the clock for £3,500. Nice condition. Very quiet.:)

I haven't driven for quite a while and an unfamiliar vehicle. Took it very gently from Newhaven back to Worthing to finish with getting it into my driveway. Just nudged a door mirror on the way in. No harm done.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

We have just adopted a wee rabbit called Charlie from my son's fiancée as sadly she can no longer keep him as her Mum is allergic to him. He is indoors at the moment (eldest son's room) till his new hutch arrives. I just love him already and bought him lots of toys from pets at home it's just a pity they did not have the hutch and cover that I was looking for so had to buy else where sadly.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Installed so I guess it counts: A new Freeview antenna at my mum's cottage in Sennen. Because there's not people here on a continuous basis we let the Sky lapse but the antenna for Freeview blew down in the winter storms. Can't face only having five useless channels so got a man* in to fit a new one.

Got him to fit a new mast and lashing kit as the old one was very rusty. Opted for a mid range log periodic antenna, the old one was a complete POS, 4 year warranty parts and labour. Now got some decent channels and no pixelation. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A pair of Denon AH-W200 wireless earphones. While (as noted in http://www.digitaltrends.com/headpho...h-w200-review/) they do have problems with bluetooth dropouts, and awkward controls (which I don't really use), as well as making the user look like he or she is wearing two old school hearing aids, they do sound a lot better than my old Sennheisers, and offer 4 to 5 hours playback on one charge. They also have a wired backup connection, and become passive when that is used, so you can use them even if the battery is flat.

I also bought a Samsung T1 external SSD. Not cheap, but gives 512Gb storage and is blindingly fast on the USB3 socket.

Our old Indesit that finally died was diverted from a skip 30+ years ago. OK it only got used once a week and I fixed it several times but it's done very well.:)

I don't suppose its replacement will last like that.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Appliances are deliberately made so they don't last as long as the parts in them only have a certain life span now old boy.
