Well, I come from scale models, so I have seen (erm, built...) models that the overall price tag was just a bit shy of $700 - and that is nowhere near the limit, if you go crazy with AM - not including the many many many many hours you put into making a model, so for me it's like I'm saving money
Just bought these on Amazon

Seiki 40" LED HDTV....I've been looking for a nice cheap tv for a while. Finally found a good deal on CL. Bought this brand new for $200. I'm using it as an extended monitor for watching tv while I use my mbp. It's pretty basic, no features or anything but I really don't need em.

Needed a new Chef's Knife and couldn't pass up the lightning deal today. $22 and it's pretty well reviewed ... eventually I'll splurge on a knife set.

Don't. All you really need is the knife you just purchased, a paring knife, and an 8" (or longer) bread knife. These three knives, along with a honing steel/ceramic rod, and a two sided sharpening stone for maintenance will handle 99% of what you'll most likely encounter in the home kitchen. Once you decide what you really like in a chef's knife, go ahead and upgrade someday, but you're off to a good start.
I have a block full of Wusthof's Classics, and more than half of them collect dust. My 8" chef's knife does 85% of the work while the other two blades I mentioned pick up the remainder. If you're regularly breaking down whole animals, a boning knife is a no brainer addition, but that's about it.
The 623s I tried in frys did the same scratchy noise thing. Then again, so do my x540s. Logitech uses cheap volume controls
Damn, I hope not. Otherwise, I'll be returning them.
No kidding about the z5500; I've had mine going on 8-9 years without any major issues. I play them pretty loud too so they definitely get a workout, Lol! Only problem I had was with the "volume control center" as Logitech calls it. It began having issues but Logitech replaced it without question.
I've been a fan of Logitech for a long time. Too bad to hear their quality is going downhill though.

Ive heard great things about Victorinox knives. Let me know what you think of it once you've used it please.

A man walks into his doctors and says...
"Doctor, I can't pronounce the letter 'F's or 'T's".
The doctor replies..
"Well, you can't say fairer than that".
Apple SSD, yes. I don't really use it for anything "extreme" except LR5. It does totally fine with the i5.
Booq Boa Nerve, bought this on ebay for $5.50 Australian, plus 17.50 shipping. I thought I would struggle to find something that fits the 17" but I got lucky.
Chrome Midway Pro SPD compatible shoe
SIXSIXONE Dirt lid in Matte black
Custom fakie
And a replacement Shimano 16t cog for the rear because 18t isn't enough.
Oh, and picked up a slightly used but very nice Chrome Metropolis messenger bag off a local forum. (not my picture)

Going back to PC gaming after 5-6 years away from it on just consoles, so building myself a mid range rig. Picking up parts as they come on sale, so far have,
FSP Aurum S 550W PSU
Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 Micro ATX Case
And also selling my HTC One as I picked up a White/Silver iPhone 5S so am coming back to iOS after 6 months on Android. So glad to be back.

They look great. How does the charging dock work? Does it just plug into the house mains?
The Charger is a mains powered unit. You simply stand a candle in a slot and it charges - no open contacts - its that conductive wireless charging type stuff. dead clever
10hrs charge gives 10hrs usage. The really do flicker like real candles and to turn a candle on or off, you just tilt it 90degrees - easy peasy. no switches or wires etc.
I really am over the moon with these (3 in a pack)
Yowch - you are doing some miles then (or not many but like to drag off the lights at every junction)
We filled up the monster about a month ago (best part of £90) and I've still got just over half a tank (and she does around 22ish mpg)
Well here is some sample footage at the YT link below now its all working.

Pretty snazzy. Doesn't play well with iOS. Not sure if Im going to keep. 1500+tax is a pretty steep pill to swallow. Mostly for something that is pretty gimped on the iPhone.
BUT, it does make driving and playing with my dog a whole lot more exciting.
