The Turtle Beach Tourney Z Seven still sounds amazing. Then again, I have no wives, kids, pets, etc. to fuck it up. Lives in its plastic case unless I'm using it.

Got around to installing Office Pro 2013. For free of course.

I'm sure this'll light up a previously dead forum...
Had my first worrisome blue screen today. Couldn't even manage the error output. Hard boot once, works good again.

Going to look into getting backup images for SSDs running to the HDD on a regularly scheduled basis. Should be brainless enough if any command line tool exists to create an image.

I'm glad every day that I got a case with a strategically placed handle on top. Sublime design brilliance. In other news, thinking about a UPS since it's the dead of power-sucking summer.

This one's got an acceptable wattage and capacitance. I got surge protectors on all (eh, maybe most) of my power strips, but that doesn't mean anything to the SSDs that get cut off mid-write.

I assume the handle comment = sarcasm?
It's not me, it's someone else.
No. It's actually a great feature. My tower sits on a couple stones slabs on top of carpet to give it some exhaust room (PS is in extreme bottom bay). If I need to vacuum or rearrange the setup or whatever, the handle kicks ass. Saw a case on NewEgg yesterday on special. Looks like the one I got, $25 cheaper, minus the handle. I'll still take mine.

Wtf happened to Amazon? I can't find any specs on that item anywhere on that page. NewEgg has the voltage, capacitance, and weight on the one I bought. $105, free shipping, and it's not wait listed.

Actually, I am getting a little tired of amazon putting small quantities of things for sale at the good price. This is the fucking internet, you can make the sale and drop ship it and for the customer is seemless. If I wanted to compete with a thousand people for 5 TV s I'd go to Walmart on black Friday. Amazon is being just like every other sales trickster any more, and now they're charging me sales tax on top of it.

I'd never heard of Prime Day until maybe 24-48 hours ago. Or if I had, I'd buried it in my subconscious. My initial guess was a Transformers-themed holiday.

One the one hand, I saved some $, on the other hand, I probably wouldn't have bought those items at higher prices.

Here's a CNN article with lots of Twitter screenshots.
