Post a Pic of Your Latest Purchase

I don't have *that* many photos or apps, but my music takes up like 8Gb, and that isn't even half of what I'd want on my phone. I've started using Spotify again instead. Every time I update I have to delete all my music >.<

 

I switched from having locally-stored music files to Spotify. Best $10 per month I've ever spent. Saved roughly 5GB on my iPhone and my computers.

I use spotify premium too, if I want to cut down my 4G data usage I do tend to put a lot of my songs into an offline playlist, but as someone who has had similar issues to scott when it comes to updating my phone it means I don't have to delete any of my music, I just have to flick the 'offline' switch off.

 

Though if even more artists go against the trend of allowing their music on Spotify I might start changing my opinion on it.

It's a great service, and Led Zeppelin was finally added which makes me happy :p But unfortunately I have a lot of live bootlegs on my phone so a lot of the time I have to delete them before upgrading, which is really annoying.

That's what I did. I have no need for the SD card in my phone anymore as I stream all my music(yay unlimited data). It saved over 30Gb on my phone. :eek:

Hard to live without unlimited mobile data anymore :D.

 

I just wish Spotify handled local files a little differently, such as merging them with your Spotify songs.

Just got this in FLAC format. :panic:

 

Can't wait till the house is empty tomorrow. :D

[Ryzza5]

Been looking at large Samsung 3D-Nand SSD's... plan is to wait for Windows 10 to come out, then I'll buy a large one for the gaming PC (256Gb not quite cutting it for all the newest games), then I'll move that 256GB one into the office PC and put Win10 on that as well, etc, etc.

You stupid Metallica fans with your official soundboard releases :(

 

*listens to GNR bootlegs* :(

[TimBud]

This happened:

 

So I got these:

All 4 cost the same price as 2 oe springs.

Oh and 4 hours labour which was the most expensive part.

[RobikV3]

4 Hours to swap 4 springs? Are you kidding me? Oh wait Alfa Romeo...

[TimBud]

Ha, maybe. I'd rather pay someone to do it properly, than someone else to do it quicker but bodge it to death.

 

The only people i know that have real issues with their Alfa are those that don't look after it and refuse to pay for basic necessities. :)

[The Compensator]

It's going to look much better with the lowering springs. Although I'd get new matching dampers as well.

There's a 159 ti that apparently has got some kind of oem sport suspension and it looks great in combination with 18" rims. :)

I was kidding mostly my friend bought 156 and after a year trubo failed, injectors,ignition and all kinds of stuff not to mention rust everywhere he sold it for like 1/3 he originally bought lol

 

But seriously changing one spring takes 30-40 mins at max i know i im a mechanic sort of

Yep, mine's a Ti running on 19s. so it's already nice and low. Will get dampers at some point, but want a hybrid turbo first

It does take an hour when its done properly.

Looks like you friend had the common 156 problems and left it too long.

The first thing I did when I got mine was take it to a specialist for a health check. Got the EGR blanked, inlet swirls deleted... cracked rear spring(s) were the last common issue I was waiting for

Not truly my latest purchase if you count in diesel but alright xD Here's my last purchase other than that: a new pc. Spammed the chat when choosing the parts, did the same when I read GTX970 stories (I'm keeping mine), and ofcourse this weekend when I finally tried to build it. Can't believe I got it done but alright, everything's wired up and installed.

 

Time for some brilliant names that makes ladies think you're so incredibly da man YUEAH:

 

Cooler Master Trooper

Corsair RM650

Intel i7 5820K (3.3Ghz 2011-3 )

Cooler Master Hyper 412S

MSI X99S SLI Plus

Corsair Vengeance LPX (16 gb DDR4 2133)

MSI GTX970 4G Gaming (4gb)

1x Samsung 850 Pro (256 gb)

2x WD Blue 1TB

Windows 8.1 x64

 

Eventually this summer I'll do some moving within the house so I'll have a bit more room and silence around me. I can't take anything really from the current pc since my parents will want to use it now and then, so my new pc will form a setup with:

Microsoft keyboard 600

Logitech M560

Logitech Z-553

BenQ GL2460 24"

 

Pictures... just two for now, perhaps a few more when I finally moved into my new room.

Nice one CLR. What made you go for a DDR4 setup over say a 980GTX and a steering wheel?

 

 

Expect to see you in an Assetto Corsa lobby soon!

:lol:

[CLR-GTR]

For some reason, choice was quite a bit limited in terms of normal socket 2011 + ddr3. Maybe the new memory won't make thát much difference in gaming, but it will in 3d modeling and rendering. I didn't buy a wheel because I'm kinda fine with having a keyboard (I've had a wheel in the past). Might sound stupid but it has worked for me since '96 :lol: And even though the whole setup costed a fair bit, I didn't see reason yet to spend double or triple money for a 980 (prices here nearing 600 for the cheaper versions).

 

I might get AC s**n. First gotta exchange pc/setup with the current one and install the necessary stuff.

[TimBud]

Got the rest of the bits for my new bike this weekend.

Finally got it built up and its an absolute ripper:

Socket 2011 was released in 2011 and supported Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs which is kinda why you can't get it any more :cheeese:

I'd love a decent bike like that. But I'm dangerous enough on the bike that I currently have. :eek:

Remember. If in doubt, flat out. Don't brake. And wear helmet.

[TimBud]

Yep. Just that ^^^

Bigger bikes are more forgiving and can allow you just plough though some pretty nasty terrain... once you turn off you brain that is.
