Very nice! I bought an Alienware desktop X51 R3 last year and I just love it.
 
New lower engine mount for the car.

Poly bushings that should last a good long time and hopefully help with the ride. I'm finally realizing that parts here and there to upgrade and fix things are cheaper than another car payment.

I foolishly tried to replace a laptop with one of these, lasted 8 months or so before I sold it and picked up a rMB. If it's not your only device then it's a solid choice!

Not a laptop replacement, it's a laptop substitute. I have three laptops and don't always need a full blown laptop. It's my solution to a small "convertible" tablet. I had a few really bad Windows tablets with keyboards and this is way better than any of them.

I did consider keeping the iPad Pro but the Retina MacBook is all I need tbh, couldn't justify them both. I kept the iPad around for a full week before I sold it though and as I expected I didn't pick it up once when the rMB arrived.
 
How does your Xbox one s work playing 4K BD?? I bought one (already have an Xbox one) thinking it would be the best bet for a 4K bd player. Well, I was wrong....it had major handshake issues with my Vizio M70-d3. Returned and picked up the philips player and so far so good. No problems for your setup??

I've had zero problems... could it be your tv?

Just picked up the Bose QC30. These sound amazing. Noise cancellation is better than the QC20!

I was looking at the QC 35's, but now I'm really considering these QC 30's. I'm still undecided. Bose has a reputation of sounding great, but their volume is questionable, at least with the QC 25's I have.

I got the QC35 and love them. I've had them since the first week they came out and have no complaints at all. Also last week I need to replace my powerbeats that I broke so I got these

These are pretty loud. I thought of getting the QC35s but I can't for the life of me wear headphones as they get very uncomfortable.

Noise cancellation and sound quality are incredible. I returned the Sound Sport for these as they are also water and sweat resistant according to Bose. Plus whenever I had an issue with a bose product regardless of when purchased or if the warranty expires, I just go to the bose store and they replace it on the spot or give me the part I need.

Definitely worth it!
 
A cashmere open-necked (those ones with buttons) pullover in charcoal grey; I already have one in black, and another in navy; comfortable, stylish winter wear when not wearing a formal jacket.
[doublepost=1476966044][/doublepost]And they weigh next to nothing in a suitcase, yet keep you very warm and cosy.

I think they're called 'cardigans'?
Cashmere is lovely... I have a grey Armani cashmere scarf which is a real comfort in the cold.
A tip... rub your fave aftershave on it... (scarf) not too liberally...
