Amp and a pair of stereo speakers.
Need to start looking into building the mid-fi system for mah bachelor pad.
But first need to research what kind of tech is available for reasonable amount of money and then start working on that budget.

 

LSI 9207-8i HBA card and some SAS breakout cables.

 

A desk, though I've been leaning towards building one instead of buying one, in which case, lumber instead.

 

Or buy it at Ikea and you can do both!

 

Can't say anything for their shelves, but their beds are really easy to put together.

 

I never understood why Ikea gets such a bad rep when it comes to assembling. They stuff is generally easy to assemble.
Maybe some people have their hands growing from the wrong place.

 

I think my biggest problem was laughing at the weird illustrations. But they did tell me everything I needed to know without words, so that was pretty cool.

 

Battery replacement for my iPhone 6S Plus. Since I don't head over to Virginia Beach or Norfolk too often, I'm just sending my phone in. Total cost, about $38 ($29 for the battery replacement+tax and shipping).
I find it a little amusing that I'll actually be replacing this phone as early as this summer, but I might just try holding off until fall when the next iPhone is announced.

 

Best Buy is advertising the Samsung Gear3 Frontier for $185.

I know I said I'd never stoop so low as to get a smart watch (mainly cause I don't know what I'd do with it)...

But the Gear3 Frontier...

 

It's outright impossible to get a Wear OS as capable as the LG Watch Sport, but less fat & bland. I'd be willing to pay a premium, but not an outrageous TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45 or Louis Vuitton Tambour Horizon premium. The Misfit Vapor was good on paper, until they decided it didn't need GPS. The Gear 3 Frontier is good-looking, capable, and unique with its rotational bezel. Maybe I should just suck it up and jump on the Tizen train as well.
