Just got meself a mini PC kit, Intel NUC i5, 8 GB of ram and a Tranquil PC fanless case to make it silent. Still need to get an SSD for storage yet, though, so it ain't gonna work until I do!

Basically it's a computer in a box about 6" long that makes no sound and here's a video of some nerds telling you about a similar one.

Got most of the bits from quietpc.com

Not cheap, mind, it cost me nearly 800 nicker! That was for an Intel i5 NUC barebones, 8GB of Crucial RAM, the Tranquil PC case and a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD that I scored for £300 on Amazon. You can buy ready built ones on the above site, too, but I fancied the DIY route.

The mpg on my last one of those!  :indifferent: :surprised:

Rarely saw anything over 20, they do make great noise but the cost of running my last one was ridiculous.

Forecasting a purchase, rather than showing off one I've already got, but the Motorola Moto X Force is pinging brightly on my radar screen at the moment.

Got home from the gym today to find a TNT driver at my house. :innocent:

Not the best photos but I was excited! :laugh:







It'll be a nice addition to the motor, especially for trackdays! :party:

So here is my latest purchase....



She is an ultra lightweight, full carbon fibre aero TT bike, with drop bars...weighing in at a mere 6.9KG
Obviously had to go for exposed CF and Fluo Red for the colours to match the car.  Next sunny day I'll take one of her on the car... Now just to carry on training... :sick:

Mrs P wanted one of they Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners, so I got her one the other day, not realising she was gonna want to charge it up in its special bracket thingy in the under stairs cupboard, where there wasn't a socket. Guess what I spent this morning doing?!
