Also professional photofinishing is largely moving to inkjet at this point anyways.

The print quality is pretty much on par with wet process and its far easier to maintain a large inkjet printer over a wet process printer - less parts to maintain, cheaper consumables and no waste to deal with.

My colour laser printer makes great photos but the toner levels look like this so I will have to declare bankruptcy after getting new ones.

I want a new shower head. We have poor water pressure but not super bad. I prefer more of the rain/mist type heads to the harder stream ones.

Dunno if this counts as rain/mist but this is the one I have and I adore it.

It has the "hard in the middle" toggle, but each individual spout is nice and fine, so my terrible water pressure (top floor) still comes out nice and firm and even.

It's the lowest of the 3 Haswell-E models which get purchased for gaming quite a bit.

But yeah, I hope it's a VM/editing box.

Huh, that looks scarily similar to the PC that I currently have, except with an i7 instead of an i5 and a GTX 960 instead of a 660. Then again, I bought my PC in 2012 and all I wanted to do was play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood at higher than 12 FPS.

Anyway, I bought some shoes for work that are more comfortable and that I'm not ashamed to wear without uniform.

GTX 960 isn't that bad? I have one and so far it can run everything I've tried smoothly at 2560x1440 with full settings.

Speaking of which, I got this yesterday :

The 660 was the go-to card in its generation, in this one you usually go for the 970.

If you know how to build a computer why wouldn't you do it yourself? The premium of having someone else do it is almost *never* worth it, especially considering how "easy" it is to build one...
