Here you may post various pieces of tech/equipment that you want for your computer/electronic gizmo. It can be either something you plan to get soon, or are looking at, thinking, "If only my income were doubled, I could get that Unobtanium Thingy!"

I will start off with a joystick that I plan to get two of in 2017.
Thrustmaster T.16000m

And just for the heck of it, something I will never be able to afford until it's totally outdated.
GTX 1080 FTW.

I'm not sure if a system build qualifies but this is the one that gets my juices flowing.

8Pack Supernova

And here I thought I was having dreams of grandeur looking at the Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC
I will be getting this lil thing in the next month or 2 . . . Assuming, of course, that they got it in stock.
And because of a hilarious coincidence, or the hand of fate , that means I'll be going from a 460 GTX to an RX 480

Holy... That thing costs more than I thought possible for a computer. Heh, you could probably run a triple monitor setup at 4k with that thing. At 120hz.

I just love the idea, but its 500 bucks in a farking preorder (on their homepage) and i wont order such hardware without reviews

Only 16GB RAM and somewhere between double and triple the sum component price.
Nnnnope

With that kind of price tag you can request any changes you would/could want to the spec, Cornflakes. I'm using the title of the thread seriously. I'd like to have one but no way would I pay that sort of price for a gaming rig. I don't care how good Ian Parry is at his specialty. That's like burning money.

You should know me better than that.

Apparently we don't. You seem to have a reputation for tossing money at shiny things. Today is actually the first time I've noticed you call something too expensive.

It is too expensive, IronDuke, but more than that it's a poor investment. how long does such technology hold its value? I do collect shiny things but I usually have an eye on their future value. Anything in that price bracket needs to be an appreciating asset.

I admit with much less pricey items I have been known to give into my whims or feelings of largesse. I did that with the $300 Vanduul Scythe. I didn't like it on release. Few wanted it. It was selling like burnt hot cakes. I took pity on CIG as they needed the money...badly. I've been offered substantially more than $300 for it recently.

On the other hand, I've given a number of gifts to members on this forum. Some of them were quite expensive. I was paid back with appreciation from those people. That's all I needed.

Victor, seriously, taking pity on CIG shouldn't ever happen...

If I had infinite moneys? hmmm...
I'd want a proper steel string since my style evolved to something that would fit it better I'd want a harp guitar and a 12-string and a midi guitar and a mandolin, cause outlander said I should play one and an accordeon and a set of uillean pipes
...oh, we were talking about tech?

Don't forget the eigenharp.

Which reminds me, I've long had this dream of a well-stocked home music composition, recording, and production studio. There's music in my head that I could create with the right tools... but I made other choices, and life is short.

The list was non-exhaustive. Also, I like folk instruments
