A bit of rust, but enough to be manageable by sanding or a bit of welding, 140k miles, 5 speed manual, and the interior was in great condition. It needs a lot of love, but that will all happen this summer. People sleep on these, they are what I like to call Ford's Icarus. They flew too close to the sun (mustang ), and the Thunderbird lost its wings... 190hp from a 2.3l 4 banger with a sub-par turbo (that had its boost limited!!!) compared to the 225hp of the 5.0l v8 in the mustang? You'd be out of your mind to go for the 5.0... What a score! I love 80 and 90s cars. My cut off for great vehicles is 2004. After that bean counters took over and ruined everything. 3 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eban Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 I bought a used Sony PS4 Pro CUH-7200B (apparently thats the last and best version number) for ¥16,850 (about $USD110 (That is a steal for this model in Japan)) Took me 3 months on Yahoo auction A new 1Tb ssd for it and a repast and thermal pads change. Its hard to play compared to mouse and keyboard (I was never a console player) It really is time to move away from windows and their BS 2 Thunderchild // Lenovo Legion Y740 17" i7-9750H rtx2080maxQ win10LTSC RainBird // Alienware 17 (Ranger) i7-4910mq gtx860m win8.1 Pipin // Panasonic CF-RZ6 i5-7Y54 Win10 JunkDog // Desktop Asrock 660M i3-12100F ARC A580 win10LTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojack Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I just bought a crap load of accessories for our cameras. Got softboxes for our studio lights, got a new universal flash gun with a bunch of accessories, got a cage, shotgun mic, LED on camera light, and a speed booster for the new camera as well. Added in 2 more batteries and an adapter to adapt my film lenses to my 1DS digital body as well. All will arrive between the 9th and 15th. Then the fun starts. The wife is ready and willing. most will not allowed to be shown here, but I will post up some of the tamer ones she approves of ha ha!. The video side of things will be started this month too. Getting our studio setup as we speak. 1 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojack Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Bought this laptop yesterday for my son so he could play space engine on it. I got it at 930 when BestBuy opened. Paid 803 out the door (cdn dollars). Got it home and set it all up for him. It was about 1pm or so before I got steam and space engine loaded. Needless to say, we never saw him for the rest of the evening. He was just at his desk flying around to different planets and universes. He loves it.
