Title: What do you really want but can't justify purchasing?
Post by: bueller on Mon, 11 November 2013, 02:18:25
As per the title what are you lusting after but can't pull the trigger on? Post pics so we can feel your pain!

At the moment I'm badly wanting a Hammer case for my Pure but I'm waiting to see how the Vortex case GB shapes up before I put down that kind of money. Would also love one of the LE Cherry G80-1865 to get a new set of the WoB caps but they're about $250 shipped :|

translucent click clack. They are so damn sexy.

But I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars when I could literally buy a fully built custom board for the same price. lol

Yeah I'll definitely wind up with one of my 60% boards wearing one but I have too many other purchases lined up at the moment. Once I have my FACE60 boards built I'll probably flog off my Pure and use the money to partly fund the Hammer.

Vortex aluminium case, of course I need to check that it would fit, so comparing my keyboards to the filco/CM tkl boards with a ruler is a must :)

In the same boat. Things definitely seem to be picking up speed regarding PCB's and cases for the DIY route though which is good. When I first started looking through GH pretty much everything was bought through GB's but now we have a great set of vendors to buy through.

It's not the most expensive or the best, but it's got good hardware and it's upgradable. I just don't have enough vinyl albums to justify it yet..

Nice! But I think the Carbon will be enough for now. The tone arm and cartridge really bring it into Audiophile territory while still being "affordable".

Do I even want to know a price on that turntable?

Nope. About as much as a Topre board full of CC's. Okay, not THAT much, but still, a lot. About 10x the price of the Carbon.

Something else I want: Jule Amps Monique bass guitar preamp.

actually the pro-ject range are very reasonable, the decks start as low as around £150 (on offer) I think that one is about £350 but I could be wrong, not that bad.
Not totally suitable for my vinyl needs, I would have to blow some serious dough on a pair of these (now that SL1200/1210 are no more)

look at the part numbers of the keyboards, they all start with "L" after the number which means Laser

G80-1865LYNEU-2   MX Red Switches

G80-1865LXNEU-2   MX Brown Switches
G80-1865LPNEU-2   MX Black Switches
G80-1865LENEU-2   MX Clear Switches

you can also see on the small right shift the text is vertically higher, not centered which only happens on laser. Its vertically center on DS
you can also see on the PrtSc/SysRq & Pause/Break keys that all the text is on the top which only happens on laser. On DS its not all on the top with SysRq & Break being on the front of the key

At $95 for a TKL set I think they're some of the best value caps around right now. Even if you found one the SP replica sets you'd be paying close to that, same for vintage Dolch.

only the earlier g80-1863's had that option, such as the white wNv or raptor K1

I have a nice ZR2440w from HP and even that came with two dead pixels.  Its not an issue you can avoid if you want a big LCD.  I don't even see them day-to-day.

Now, hot pixels are what you should be worried about.  They aren't very common anymore. See if the warranty covers that.

Well, if we're talking keyboard related then the list goes like this:

- µTron
- One of those special HHKBs, or even just a normal HHKB
- SSK
- 55g RF
- Any Korean Kustom

The list of stuff I want is probably scary long, I don't dare try making a list of it all.

A lot of these responses seem to be along the lines of "really want but cannot afford" rather than "really want but cannot justify", the latter which would seem to imply that you can afford it, but cannot justify the expense.

That Nikon is super-cool.. Full frame, top shelf features in a classic body.. mmm, good.

I guess I did go off-topic a little with non-keyboard stuff. Keyboard-related stuff:

A jdcarpe style 40% board (so cute and can be fully functional with careful layout programming),
the HHKB Pro 2 (want to try Topre),
KBT Pure or GH 60 (nice layout 60% with moddable keyswitches)

Problem is I can't justify any staggered boards any more, no matter how cool I think they are, since I built my ergo board.

I'm still shooting with the x100 as my main camera (since it was first released, so I know what you mean about the AF), and the firmware since v1.3 had improved things vastly (2.0 is already out). Wouldn't mind getting a x100s, but I can't justify the upgrade as the x100 is still serving me very well.

I also can't justify spending the money on a retail HHKB for that matter.  I so want to be able to justify it, but I am having a hell of a time getting anywhere on that one...  But Topre...  But you already have an FC660C...  But its so pretty...  <review CC argument>  damn...

I need a silent keyboard for work and I know this would fit the bill. However I'm not sure if I would like the variable weighting... and that's a lot of money for me to "test it out"

Or CAN you justify it? Think of all the things you could fab.. ;D

Not on your level (and not metal), but I've toyed with the idea of buying a 3D printer for months now. I just can't justify it because there's NOTHING I actually need it for - I imagine I would just print strange shapes all day long. Not the best use of my money!

Is that a 35mm?  Man talk about outdated tech.

Nope. Top of the line full-frame digital SLR with a classic body design. Lovely.

And czarek, I would LOVE one of those in my workshop. Like you, hard to justify. If you have a lot of time, some money to spare and skills like this guy, you can try DIY: http://www.5bears.com/cnc.htm

 ;D

Not nearly as professional, but can be as accurate if you choose your parts right and build it carefully.

same here! im trying to find out what the "silent" mod is. If its the same as dental bands on an all 45 or all 55 id rather do that. Or is silent something more silent then that that you can only get from factory? I need to be quieter than my browns w red orings.

I have both silenced and non-silenced RF 87Us.  A few observations:

1) The unsilenced is no louder than a typical membrane keyboard that everyone else at your office uses.  In fact, it's quieter on account of there's less rattle.
2) Dental bands do reduce key travel a bit.
3) I find that the variable weights aren't all that different from a 45g uniform.  The main difference I find is that if I rest my fingers on the WASD while gaming, I can accidentally actuate the 'A' because it's so light.

Wish I could justify buying a new seat of headphones, as mine are good quality but falling apart. Although overpriced, the new Beats Studio feels well built, mostly metal, but I remember browsing through the Microsoft store and finding some with the same quality but better price.

O_o

Speaking of that, I'd like to get DT990s, but I don't have use for 3+ pairs of headphones.

For me, it's been more about determination since I decided against getting an FC660M because of the ergodox earlier this year. I want to get a Kinesis V3 stand for my ergodox, some thick PBT keycaps (SA profile would be lovely), nicer cables for both ergodox and HD 25 headphones, OpenPandora, a big&thick desk-/mousepad,... However, it's too much hassle to order it. I'm way too lazy. ;_;

Keyboard related:  I can afford but still cant quite pull the trigger on a HHKB and I would love to see a CC in person. 

Non-keyboard - too many things to list!

You can never have enough headphones. At the most I've had like 30 pairs..

I'd love to find a pair that doesn't eventually break at the plastic joint that attaches the extending metal part to the ear part.

I just got a pair of Sony MDR-V6 and I hope they last longer than my last few pairs!

Nah, I had that mindset until few months ago, but that's over. I want to keep just something portable, something comfortable and a spare one. In case of keyboards, trackballs and mouses, headphones or whatever crosses my mind.

My MDR-V6 cans have held up insanely well. I highly recommend getting the Beyerdynamic replacement foam pads, because the faux-leather ones are just not very comfortable and will fall apart eventually. I bought mine in 2002; they still sound great, and you can't tell that they've gotten ten years of active use.

I hate the joint used in most headphones. One of the redeeming qualities about the new Studios that I saw was that they have metal joints.

I'm tempted to buy one of that 75% pcbs and a plate from sprit in his groupbuy. But I'm totally broke and currently can't justify it.

I once had a noppoo choc mini (my first keyboard), really liked the layout. But sold it cause after some time I realized that browns are not the right switch for me and also that non standard size spacebar sucked. Maybe one day I have a mx mini, but seems like not this time. :)

A 30 inch super nice monitor. But that would mean my monitor would be bigger than my TV (27 inch, not flat). But there's no way that I will change my TV before my kids stop playing with their toys ON the TV.

Anyway, family stuff comes first!

Also on the list:

- Aluminium poker case (the last design from Feng GB, gold hard-anodized!)
- A model F with all the stuff needed to convert it to a 60% (yea, well, just a dream). I could start with just a model F lol!
- nice dac/amp/headphones
- Better car

Off topic, But you Topre bastards have gotten me already.

I haven't even owned a cherry mx board yet... I'm going in reverse keyboard evolution! I will try a mx board after my 55g realforce!

I'm getting my topre board next month...

It's topre. You will definitely like it! And with that argument, you can justify it.  :eek:

Topre seemed, when I tried an HHKB, to bottom out very near the top. The rest was the smooth travel that many name the cloud of mammaries.

It's honestly nothing too special to me. It felt like a Brown, besides the different actuation point. The sound is the best thing about Topre imo.
