Post your recent purchases (with pics)

[Silenus]

Ordered this before the fire.

Got here yesterday.

Adds Aux, Ipod, RCA and Bluetooth to the factory radio of my Murano.

Bluetooth connection is very good, I can listen to my music through ad2p on my car speakers, plus I can make calls.

Works great with my Galaxy Note.

Simple installation, did it myself in 10 minutes.
Removed my radio, plugged the adapter harness to the radio and the other end to the car harness and done.

Recommended.

Now I don't have to remove my oem radio and still use the lcd panel and all car functions normally.

The Uncharted 2 & 3 and Sega MegaDrive Collections sound cool.

I couldn't stay interested in Resident Evil. I still have to play it on the Wii! (RE4)

Stupid decals? So it's not themed for a game?

Okay, so these all aren't exactly too recent, but they somewhat are, and I've been intending on posting them but I only now got access to my camera.

The first is a new (although lightly used in condition) PC I got. My financial situation has been flaky, but I didn't want to pass this one up. For $50, I got a SFF (small form factor) Dell OptiPlex 380.

It's got a Core 2 Duo E7500 (2.93GHz, Wolfdale, 3M cache, 1066MHz FSB), 4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM (a single module; it takes up to 8GB), a Dell motherboard with the G41 Express chipset (X4500 onboard for graphics), a DVD+RW drive, a Samsung 250GB SATA II hard drive, and some smaller size 235W PSU. It has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. It will be replacing my old Dell Dimension 4100 as my secondary PC. Here's to hoping it lasts as long.







I have no idea what that middle slot is exactly, but it does have a PCI Express x16 slot (v1.1), so...

The onboard wouldn't do, and I needed something low profile and low on power. I decided to go with nVidia, and from a cost/performance/low profile/low power use balance perspective, I figured the GeForce GT 430 would be a good choice. Almost none of the GeForce GT 530 or GeForce GT 620 cards that I found were 128-bit (this GeForce GT 430 was), and one that I found was expensive and had really slow memory anyway which defeated the purpose. Unfortunately, I didn't get a low profile bracket with it (my mistake, but I was looking at a few options and I thought this one was one of the few that had one), but I can get some on Amazon for like a few dollars. That's why the card isn't in the PC as of now, and because I'm not using it now either. While I used it, I just took the bracket off, and for just a GeForce GT 430, it was plenty. I think the key is in getting a 128-bit card and understanding that they won't do modern, demanding games at high settings/resolutions. I'd have rather had the 512MB GDDR5 version, but it seems they only make enough of those to give to reviewers to make these low end cards seem better than what they actually make plentifully available.





(I know that picture is blurry but oh well.)

The last thing is the monitor I was using with it; a Dell E177FP. This I got for free, and sort of in turn, I helped someone with their PC (which was actually my old OptiPlex GX 270 PC; I reinstalled Windows and set it all up). It's a 17" TN panel LCD with a resolution of 1280 x 1024. While it was okay-ish for what it was, going back to my UltraSharp U2410 was heaven; the only thing not being preferred being the wide gamut colors since I have to use custom color mode (only sRGB mode, which itself isn't perfect but it good enough, looks alright, but I have a revision that effectively makes it unusable). I think the IPS even ghosted/blurred less. I wish it had a DVI input (it only has VGA) but oh well.





As can be seen, the screen isn't glossy, but rather it has AG coating. It's not quite as bad as my UltraSharp U2410 is though. It's like a perfect middle ground between glossy and matte. I'd probably rather have excessive AG than excessive gloss though. That goes for the bezel too; I hate how most TVs are glossy and all. I much prefer the matte look.

That middle slot looks like the funky slot the PCI riser cards plug into on older (Optiplex 2x0) slim (not SFF) dells. If memory serves, it's also capable of acting as just a regular PCI slot.

Edit: Yep..

It appears so (although you one you posted doesn't look like it'd be one to work in this PC). I guess that explains why part of the back actually lifts entirely out. It looks like the purpose of such a thing is to give it the ability to use standard size (as in, normal and not low profile) PCI cards, although you'd have to forgo your PCI Express x16 slot to do so.
