What are you picking up?

magarity · April 2021

In DIY, I would like a 3D printer but haven't bought once since the kids would just use up all the filament to print out little figurine toys that would gather dust after the initial fun factor wore out. So if it was a contest winner kind of thing, that's what I'd get.

In the BYO section if there was actually a good video card in stock, I'd grab it before whoever was in charge of the giveaway changed their mind!

For the rest of the store, I don't really need anything right now so I would have called a friend and asked what he wanted and get that.

I'd love a full Raspberry Pi 4 setup, a GTX 3090, a Mac mini M1 (the bigger one), a S535 TCL 4K OLED TV, and some nice gaming peripherals for my rig, maybe a nice Windowmaker keyboard.

Makery · April 2021

I would pick up the CREALITY ENDER 5 PLUS printer with Touch Screen and glass bed. A great first choice for 3D printing.

Next would be the AMD Ryzen 7 5800x for a nice upgrade from my existing Ryzen 7 3700x.

For Apple it would have to be the Apple iPad Pro 11 128gb wifi only. Just the right size and storage for daily use.

In computers a new monitor is called for so the Acer Predator XB323U Gxbmiiphzx 32" WQHD 270Hz is calling to me.

TV/Small electonics? My cart would be happy with the Samsung QN55LS03TAFXZA 55" Class Frame 4k Smart QLED Tv.

Under Center of the Store it is simple. I would need the NETGEAR Orbi RBK852 AX6000 Whole home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 router so I could connect everything together with the internet.

DIY (3D Printers, Raspberry Pi)

I have always wanted a 3d printer. My wife likes to bake and I could make her any molds she could ever think of with one. I also love Star Trek and would print ships and props to start a collection.

BYO (Graphics Cards, Processors)

I would do like a 3060 for my son I drive semi trucks for a living if I can up grade his system we can play while I am over the road.

Apple

I would get there latest ipad to control my sirrus radio and do training in my truck.

Computers

I would get myself a new laptop so I could give my old one to my other son so we could all play together. I want to upgrade though to a 17 inch screen like this bad boy!

Lenovo Legion 5 17IMH05H 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black; Intel Core i7-10750H Processor 2.6GHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6; 16GB DDR4-2933 RAM; 1TB Solid State Drive

TV/Small Electronics

I need a TV for my truck so I would like for 28 to 32 inch screen with smart capabilities.

I need a new laptop bag. I want to find a Swiss army, or targus bag to carry my laptop in.

I guess I am kinda simple with what all is out there to get.

Talset · April 2021

From DIY, I'd pick up one of those $999 DIY arcade cabinets for myself.

From BYO I'd say a 3090 if they were ever in stock, but if not, a large capacity NVMe SSD. It would be my first choice if it wasn't $500+ more than the RX 6900 XT I have.

From Apple I'd get a 2021 Macbook Pro for my mom.

From computers I'd get a gaming computer to give to one of my friends who isn't nearly as lucky as I am. I already have a top tier gaming PC and multiple LAN party PC with RX 580's.

From TV, I'd get a decent 4k TV for my brother that can fit in his room, something between 30 and 40 inches. I already have two very nice TVs.

From everything else, I'd get a security camera system (if you even carry them) for my dad. He's very into that stuff, which I know PROBABLY makes him sound paranoid, but he just has fun setting that stuff up and fooling around with it.
