I "bought" (work bought me) the ugly ass battery case for my iphone 6s so that my shitty battery would stop dying by the time I get home from work

Werks good. Looks a lot worse online than in hand. Wouldn't pay $100 for it myself though.

Audio-tecnica ath im-02. Despite two being the most number of drivers where a passive crossover doesn't suck the detalization is noticeably lower than, for example myst nail 1's. Frequency response is better but I'm still divided over the purchase as this is not what I needed. Now, to find a precise DAC+amp for my phone because they require very little power, but crossover makes it picky to source's impedance. Any recommendations?

I had 15$ PS
that lasted 4 years and got fried
now i wanted something safer but /g reccomend only 300$+ PS that cost more than my whole pc build

so i found this for 60$ in discount and said ok

now i think about why did not i buy 4x 15$ PS

and just switch after it gets fried
>>
>>54686356
Because more often than not a $15 PSU will also take out the rest of your system.

Sucks your psu failed but fires/sparks/shorting is not uncommon with PSUs that don't have proper OCP.

this one is cheapest 85 euro
but does not have good reviews [but reviews are from time it costed 200euro]

should i buy it or build one myself,i do not go for looks just need something for 2x gpu extended atx ans many fans

>>54686836
See whats avaliable at the local tip or roadside hard rubbish day.

>>54686869
in my country people do not have money for mid tower so chances to find it around is very low
there is one guy selling old case for 30 but it is on other side of country , with traveling it would go up to 60euro and some things would be missing+case is damaged

in other words i either buy or build it.

I buy smartphones with bad screens
buy a new part
fix and resell for some beer money.

what I notice is that smartphone value and prices go down with time. also the condition of it influences the price.
but
new smartphone part prices don't/barely change with time.
from my understanding new part prices should go down also.

I only ask cause everyone wants a deal and give really lowball offers for very good condition smartphones.

Go into broken screen repair business instead of reselling and charge out the ass for repair.

People are more likely to spend more money then because all their photos and private info is on there and I see retards with shattered screens all the time.

I bought a moto G, 3rd gen

It isn't here yet. But I'm currently using a fliptop and an iPod touch 4g, both which I am getting slightly annoyed at. Typing on a fliptop is slower than a touchscreen, even though I'm resonably quick it's still more labour. The iPod Touch is also my camera, and that's absolute garbage, and my mobile web browser, which obviously means no 3g and it crashes on any modern webpage, I can't even order a pizza from it without crashing from the JS loading. No webms, nothing. It also has a tiny screen and limited media support, and almost every application out on the store is out of date for it.

Smart phone will solve all of it, most of it for years to come. So I'm excited to be cucked.

Not sold in my country so I bought it on amazon and had someone send it to me. 155 pounds, which is $330 NZD.

>>54695589
NZD. That explains why your using old tech.

I hate to break it to you. You cant really claim to be consumerist if your still using an 8 year old ipod touch. You've gotten good use out of it.

If your moto g3 lasts you that long it will be impressive.

Good job on not being a consumerist!

>>54695839
>You cant really claim to be consumerist if your still using an 8 year old ipod touch.
But I'm using an NZXT h440, an i5 4690, a mechanical keyboard, a g502 and a meme monitor rotated to 90 degress as a second monitor. I also own a pair of sennheisers and an Acer ultrabook that I hate.
