Thanks. I was leanin toward the Fractal Design case but I like yours more.

Love that color! My car from page 1 says hi
Hardtop verts are awesome

Yep, I dig the color. Especially at night, looks really nice. Most people don't even know my car is a convertible. I always get a kick out of little kids staring in amazement when the top goes up or down .

Great car, and very quick. Gonna probably get it chipped to up the HP and get a meatier exhaust to replace the stock in 2012.

Hung out with my Dad's side of the family today, got some SWEET pick-ups that I'll post when I get home tomorrow.

I think these were my best pick-ups of 2011:

 

[HildyB]

Eye-Fi 4GB Card for my DSLR
FF2K (Penny-Arcade!)
Sherlock Holmes and Thor Blu-Ray
Canon 18-200mm Lens
Dark Souls, Archam City, Rage, and Duke Nukem Forever

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Galaxy Nexus. Creamy Goodness™

Put some carbon fiber on the back for some extra grip. And it looks pretty nice.

From the GF sale.

Don't even think I posted my 2011 pickup of the year. Bought a Big Green Egg. Absolutely love it.

I just finished Life's Too Short, is Idiot Abroad another good one? The BBC is miles ahead of our craptacular CBC You can immediately identify a Canadian production. Except for our Hockey coverage, it's crystal clear compared to some blurry, yellow American coverage.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Drift Tengoku and Option 2 JDM car magazines

And I kinda went on a 3D shopping binge...

Yes. This. Why is it always yellow?!

Yes. Both seasons are great. Especially if you follow the podcasts and are a fan of Karl.

End of 2011 pickups.

Our house was broken into at the end of November, and all our laptops + ipad + 3DS were stolen. Insurance cheque arrived the day before Christmas, so we had an Apple Christmas!

Pickup of the year was my Technics SL 1200 MKII. $40 from Craigslist and about $100 worth of work and a respray and it's perfect!

My new years resolution will be to post more in this thread! Love seeing what other people find/buy.

Kind of expensive ... but sweeeet :-D

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

A friend of mine bought me back one when he visited Tokyo years ago - It's amazing, but doesn't get much use (perhaps for the best).

Put some carbon fiber on the back for some extra grip. And it looks pretty nice.

Was the carbon fiber already sized for the Nexus or did you modify some to fit? Where did you find it?

 

[monome]

Whether you have a very low speced PC or Skyrim PS3 was a gift...

 

[theDeeDubs]

No to both those actually lol. 120+ hours and a platinum trophy before I hit any issues. It was the smoothest Bethesda release this gen for me. Quite a few on here never hit issues either.

 

[Uzny]

Books came in today, still more to come.

 

[CrankyJay]

My favorite pick up of 2011, a Weber 18.5" bullet smoker:

 

[edgefusion]

I want all of those books. Give them to me!

I bought it from here. 4"x8" sheet that I trimmed to fit the battery cover (I have the extended battery). I bought 3 sheets in case it didn't come out too good. That was my 1st try with it. Got it close but could be a little better.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Kind of expensive ... but sweeeet :-D

I have one of those... picked it up a year back... I have other GBMicros I actually use; this one's just for coveting...

 

[Alien Manobo]

Just a few game pickups from November to December:

Starting off the new year with an Intuos 4 (small):

 

[mkenyon]

My #1 of 2011 is without a doubt my first modded and custom loop rig. Build log here.

2500K @ 5.0Ghz
Maximus IV Gene-Z
8GB Corsair LP RAM
SLI 560Ti Twin Frozr II's
Seasonic X750 with unisleeved cables
Fractal Arc Mini
XSPC Rasa RS 240 loop
Corsair F90 SSD (OS)
Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD (Games)

#2 Was Mrs. Bean, two year old filly that had only been handled enough to be trailered over here (Pac NW) from Montana. My wife loves her. Almost to the point of getting a saddle on her after only 3 weeks of groundwork.

For January, though technically my wife's pickup, it was both of our present for Christmas because of the expense.

Jeff Smith Cowhorse Saddle (used for Cutting and Reining Cowhorse events)

 

[WEGGLES]

Don't even think I posted my 2011 pickup of the year. Bought a Big Green Egg. Absolutely love it.

Can't tell if that's a book or a oddly packaged DVD. Is that out on DVD in North America? I've seen bits and pieces of it on youtube, but it would be nice to actually just WATCH it.

 

[JackEtc]

Just got pack from visiting my Dad's side of the family with some sweet pick ups.

Skyrim 4-Disk Soundtrack, signed by the composer, Jeremy Soule:

The Wu-Tang Manual (awesome book so far) by The RZA:

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro flight stick:

and a Cyber Acoustics 2.1 system for my computer:

My random $6 Woot! shirt also came in and I really like it:

 

[Risible]

Sweet! Congrats on making Eagle! My son is working towards it, and I know how much work it involves.

Just a few game pickups from November to December:

Starting off the new year with an Intuos 4 (small):

Why a small? I got a medium. My ex got a large one. The large is too big. the XL is just dumb.

 

[JackEtc]

Sweet! Congrats on making Eagle! My son is working towards it, and I know how much work it involves.

Thanks! I hope he makes it. It's a TON of work as I'm sure you know, but encourage him to do it, it's already paying off for me as I hear back from colleges who are very impressed by it being on my application.

 

[justinschwimmer]

How do you like it so far? I've been thinking about picking one up to sync with Run Keeper...impressions would greatly be appreciated

I see they bestowed upon you the call of the eagle.

 

[Axelums]

This is sorta pickups over the last few weeks, got kinda busy around christmas time.

Kirby was the most expensive at £20, Tetris was £17, Xenoblade at £8, Castlevania was £5 and I got Dungeon Siege new for £4.

Seemed like a good idea to wait for the sales to start.

Someone traded these in as I was working, got them for £2.24 each. Luigi's mansion was awesome to come across. Discs need a bit of a clean though...

These 3 off PSN. LBP2 was great at Xmas.

Have yet to play the online, Loved U2 though, so got this to save buying seperate DLC in the future. Did the same with Call of Duty.

And finally, another Victim of the Steam Sale

 

[vladimir rus]

...and a nice urinary tract infection to go with it. Nice way to start the year!

I considered getting a medium but I didn't really mind the small size since I got used to the tiny real estate from my ancient Graphire 2 which just recently broke down. I'll eventually upgrade to a Cintiq 12WX or something better sometime this year.

 

[Liquid Dust]

A few pickups from the holidays, man I tell ya GOWIII is brutal

Megaman X Official Complete Works

Dualshock 3 Urban Camo

Skagen Brown Strap

X5 was on gameboy?

Nope. I confused it with Megaman Xtreme 2, which was on gameboy. I recall the manual having all those character artworks though.
