Found a great deal on an open box PowerSpec at Microcenter. Not a gamer, so perfectly happy with a little lower end GPU. But it seems that gaming pcs have the best bang for the buck in meeting my audio/video needs these days.

12th Gen i7, GeForce RTX 3060Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe drive, liquid cooled.

I have the previous model to yours, also from Micro Center. Excellent computer and I've yet to find a game it can't handle at high quality.

Mine is wired into the light socket of the opener. That way the laser turns on when the garage door opens and turns off when the light turns off after a few minutes. Right now it's using this chintzy looking light socket adapter. I don't need the light itself, so I'm going to replace that with a flush screw in socket.

The kit comes with a sound activation module that is supposed to turn on when it hears the opener, but as far as we can tell, it's a POS and doesn't work at all. So we skipped it and just went with this setup.

i need to do a better job of keeping up... here's what happened under the "christmas" gifts to myself - not pictured are plastic casters for my aeron, a "replica" yellow alpine band for my apple watch, and a lenox light-up 9" level

if you couldnt tell, i found my PSP in the drawers i usually despise battery packs, but it was $11.01 shipped, so i couldn't refuse on a year old phone.

Just a big ol bag of Walnuts. My favorite snacks along with Pecans and Cashews.

A new set of multi-teeth nuts for working onto Bluebelle and a handmade pilot-worthy belt.

Wasn't sure where to post this. I didn't buy it, my daughter gave me for Christmas a set of Irish linens, made in Ireland. Here is one that displays Irish families and where they lived in Ireland. I am half Irish and my family name is among them.

Instead of buying a whole new car for the winter, I invested in a $35 undercarriage pressure washer attachment.

European style mirrors; having learned driving overseas I'd always found it lacking that the cars here don't have the "wide angle" mirrors. Was a long time annoyance and I finally found a feasible set for really cheap

finally a place to store summer/winter tires

Let's just say, $30>$5k~ winter beater

Bought my son some LED light strips for his room. Installed them yesterday.
8m very impressed with the fit and finish and output of these inexpensive lights!
It came with a remote but also has a mobile app.
He loves them!

Finally going to update the old CCC in the E60 M5. Android 12, 6g RAM, 128g 8 core ROM, Snapdragon 662.

Haha!!!! I wonder why my son wanted these so badly...

Logitech K480 multi-device keyboard. I can use it and my new Logitech M720 mouse to switch back and forth between my MBP and my Dell box. Gone are the days of clunky KVM switches.

Wall mount for one of the TVs in my Pain Cave. I needed to be able to see it from my rower seat. Used to be on the bookshelf there, but obviously not ideal for watching it while rowing. Now it's perfect.

The battery on my apple watch series 6 was starting to go. I couldn't even get a full night out of it. So I replaced the batte... of course I didn't.... I got a new one.... because MURICA!!!

Rolling stool for the garage. My tired, old back can't take bending over or kneeling down to work on the car or tidy up the drawers in the tool chest. And forget trying to get up off the floor. So this cheapo Harbor Freight special will work for now.

I have a similar one but round. It's used 99% of the time for wheel cleaning and detailing.

I'll be using mine for pumping up the tires on my car and cleaning my bikes.Tucks away nicely on the lower shelf of the new workbench.
