Hakko FX-888D

there you go Calvin!!! One of the best purchases I made... Also try and find a pair of helping hands or 2 . The kind with the weighted base work the best.(I bought the cheap ones and they work but are a pain in the ass) congrats on a badass soldering station (I know there are much better units out there but for my skill level the HakKo is more than enough)

Edit: So much awesomeness recently in this thread so I'm just going to put it all here.

Blue Nalgene and mashby
1976 looks pretty baller in person I am regretting not picking it up BIG TIME anyways can't wait to see it all laid out on your boards congrats guys

Missalaire
The Kraken x41 is a really awesome radiator. Even though its only 140mm it actually cools as well as or better than my h100i with a 240mm rad! You will not be disappointed (well maybe by NZXT software if they haven't updated/fixed it yet it was worse than corsair link and that's saying something )

Exitfire
Awesome score this is the first time if I've heard of someone finding some of those since I've been here (why are they so rare?lol) anyways congrats!

Justify
Congrats on finding that 3D CC in MX (I'm pretty sure you were trying to trade a Topre 3d for a MX one )
Either she's a beauty!

I would if I should get one as well! Maybe not the XXL but the XL or L should be enough. I'll see. I don't think we can get such big mouse pad here in EU.

Oh, its a phantom in a CM case, I took a dremel to the case and removed the section above the arrow cluster. I still need to remove the coating and paint it, and the weather is just now warming up for that to happen.

Once I figure them out, it should be better. My cursive with my Pilot Parallel Pen is much much smoother and consistent. I'm used to more resistance on the paper and the pens just seem to glide, so I need to get that figured out for my writing to improve.

Just about.

Even when I'm wrong I'm right

No but really, TWSBI has a better more "universal" grip IMO. nibs feel better compared to the scratchy nibs lamy Safari has. It's a bit pricier but honestly worth it's price.

And Noodlers' ink is great and cheap.

there should be a receipt/packing list in the package, if you lost it, you can still use your email record as a receipt.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #32444 on:** Sat, 16 May 2015, 00:56:46 »

I can't say I've ever been a huge fan of Asrock, but they are pretty much the only game in town for a mitx board with 4x dimm slots and an onboard LSI SAS controller. Features wise it really has just about everything I could want in a server motherboard.
As far as not honoring a warranty with an email invoice receipt... pretty sure that was some low level support person being dumb. I'm sure you could have gotten it through with some persistence. The few times I have had to use manufacture warranty support for PC part I've always had to submit ticket multiple times and several back and forths with the support people before they would let me send the thing in. I guess lucky for me most things I've had problems with were either DOA or dies within a week or so, so I could just return it for replacement at the store I got it.
