I bought this for -44% of List Price: $79.99 = $44.99 on Amazon.ca

When I built my son's latest Gamer Box, I didn't know what to do with the old one. I was surprised when I realized I installed my first NVMe M2. SSD into it. The Asus Motherboard, CPU, etc., was also upgradable to Windows 11.

My wife's Desktop PC ( she also has a Laptop & an iPad), which I built as well is going to time out on Windows 10 in October as it's not upgradable. So my plan is to switch it out for the old Gamer Box with Windows 11 Pro, the Archer TXE72E AXE5400 Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.3 PCIe Adapter, and a Bluetooth Wireless Mouse & Keyboard to clean up the cabling as she hates wires. It's a Logitech (920-008219) MK850 Bluetooth Optical Ergonomic Keyboard & Mouse Combo that I got for 1/4 of list price. ($30 vs $119)

The TXE72E will also allow me to loose the LAN Cable while achieving close to it's performance. My only remaining Question is do I put it all into her smaller case, or leave it in the old (larger and quieter) Gamer Box. She won't use the power of the old gamer rig but it will more than meet her needs for web surfing, emails, and the odd spreadsheet.

I haven't told her about this little project, and want to surprise her when it's done.

Bought these

Cool, my show is the first stop for them in the US.

 

[j_garcia]

Expensive week lol. Lots of good shows this year. I saw them on their last tour in 2018.

 

[Bobby Bass]

Cool reminds me I have tickets to the Experience Hendrix tour in March. Looks like a great lineup playing Hrendrix.

I'm considering going to the Ft. Worth show, but they haven't made anything new since that last tour.

Granted, that was a hell of a show.

Yeah, I am curious if they will release something soon then. They are scoring an upcoming video game as NIN, not Trent and Atticus. But Trent and Atticus also won a Golden Globe, and there's a good chance they'll win an Oscar, for Challengers

 

[dolynick]

A new hot water tank today, unfortunately

 

[davidscott]

John Wick would be pleased!

 

[adk highlander]

This arrived for me. I have a nice set of FiiO IEM's to go with it. Nice for walking dog etc.

 

[Antares]

Newest addition to the collection.

They always put on a good live show.

They were great when I got to see them. They played The Perfect Drug live for the first time on that tour. I guess it had never been in the lineup before.

They also played a few tracks from the ablum Year Zero, which I had never heard live either. It is a bit of an unusual album, I guess it was a score for a film that never came out, but I really like it.

The previous time I saw them, Bauhaus opened for them and Peter Murphy came out and sang Closer with Trent. That was pretty epic.

The tour I saw had two dates back to back. I went night one and should have gone night two since more of my favorites were on the setlist. It was still an awesome show.

Yes Close to the Edge box set with a Roger Dean signed lithograph. Starting to get into music collectibles and I love Roger Dean’s artwork so preordered with Rhino for March 7 release. I love early 70s Yes.

I had tickets for back to back nights of the Fragility tour in 2000, but they canceled the second night. Still saw them in Buffalo and NYC that tour. Perfect Circle opened for them. Manson came out on stage at NYC and they performed a few songs together, which was pretty cool, because they were feuding at the time.
