You got rid of your keyboard because the letters faded? Kinda lame lol, I should show you my old keyboard, it's like my mouse in that it has mirror plastic in some spots :) How much did all those mice cost? If 4 of your budget mice cost $15 each or more, it would have been worthwhile to save and buy a real one. That's my point.

Breakfast costs you $4.16? Believe me, I totally understand budgets and the need to save money, I really do. The thing is though, save up to buy quality so in the long run you spend less.

Here's a little math:
According to the receipt, on 5-11-2007 I paid $59.95 (I guess I was a little off :P) for this G5 mouse. I've used it every single day since then. That's 3 years 2 months and 15 days as of today. Let's say 38 months just to round it. Let's also say the mouse cost $60. That comes to an average of less than $1.58 a month to use this mouse. Now to get really precise I've had the mouse roughly 1303.5 days and at the price of $59.95, it cost me less than 4.6 cents a day.

Going through the cheap mice you and other people do, how much do they cost you per month or per day?

(Fun fact: looking at the same receipt 1GB of DDR2 667Mhz cost me $82, my how times change.)

Hardware/Software / 1/8" (3.5mm) extension cable or RCA interconnects
« on: Monday, July 26, 2010, 17:31:09 PM »
Since the amp I use uses 1/4" jacks, I've been thinking about moving over to that but since I'm currently using 1/8" plugs for everything including my extension cable, I will have to remove the plugs and jack to change them.

So, I have a few supplies and if someone wants, I can make a cable. I could make 2 4-foot RCA cables or 1 8-foot 1/8" (3.5mm) cable. I would ask the cost of parts plus $5 and shipping. I believe the cable is about $1.20 a foot and the plugs are probably around $1.50 a piece. Anyone interested?

i agree with you there, the thing is that a logitec mouse will cost arround 600 in local currency wich is alot! sia about 125 usd.

I believe I paid $99.95 or $89.95, I can't remember which, for this G5 at a retail store. Quality costs money up front but that's not a reason NOT to get it.

Pay more for quality. Less waste, less cost for you in the long run, less hassle.

Having had my G5 over 3.5 years now, it's showing some signs of wear. I thought I would share the kind of use and abuse this product takes.

Polished bottom: Teflon pads are almost gone, a lot of text is missing and the area around the laser has been polished to the point where it's a mirror. Yea, a plastic mirror.


Missing texture: That dark black spot is where my thumb sits, it's worn away the texturing there and polished it.


Same thing with the left click button:

I really cant justify spending a lot on a sound card when sound to me is fine as it is. I would also rather have something that isn't modified just in case it fucks up I can return it.

Time for a new pair of headphones then. It's been running for over a year and a half, it's not going to fuck up. Stock Creative cards have more of a chance of fucking up due to the crappy caps they use. Good luck getting support from them. Offer is still there, it's a really solid card :)

A while back I was thinking about something like that. Everybody starts without guns and there's moving platforms over lava or somethin and you have to traverse the platforms to get across to a grenade cache.
