Logitech G35

Hiya guys!

Today after work I was walking downtown and popped into a electronics store. Just walking around and having a look. I’ve been thinking that I should get myself a decent headset for gaming and whatnot and actually earlier today I was looking at Logitech G35 while taking a break at work. Anyhow, in the store I found the headset and I ended up buying it. I got it for 127$ and the list price was 160$, so I think the lady behind the register did something wrong, but hey! I got it cheaper!

Anyways. I’ve installed the software and have played around with the settings. Also tested various functions and used it for some hours. I’m quite impressed with it thus far. The sound picture is very good, quite sharp, a little lacking with bass even though it’s at full. Anyways if I wanted a awesome headset for music I’d buy something else.

I ordered a new PC today because I’ve thought about it for a long time, but didn’t decide whether I should do it or not. But today I finally did! And boy it’s a high-end system. The only thing I can think of which could be better is to buy an extra SSD drive for a stripe setup. The main reason why I bought a SSD HDD is because I want a system which runs fast in the operating system.

I think that this setup will last me for quite some time. My only concern here is the heat production from the 2 graphics cards, as the 400-series of chipsets from NVIDIA is known for that, and also the noise from the fans during load. I guess time will tell how it is, but hopefully it’ll be okay. I look really forward to testing this setup and I might post some test results when I’ve received the PC.

Wee! My vacation is starting tomorrow and I have no work for two whole weeks! Hurray! … what the fuck will I do ? I got no plans, nothing at all! Anyways, figured I’d just write that so I got it off my chest. I can also inform you that the past 3 weeks I’ve worked around 200 hours. >_> Should be a fun paycheck this month as well!

Also check out the pictures from my trip to Holland/Belgium! They can be found as usual in the Galleries section.
