My Tech
Last Updated: 27/11/24
I like Tech. A lot. And I have a lot of it. Here is the main tech that I use:
PC (Built August 2024)
Pics in gallery
Specs:
- Ryzen 7 7800x3D - The king of gaming CPUs (until 9000 x3D)
- AMD Radeon RX 6900XT (Specifically the XFX merc version) - I used to use A 3070, and before that a 1070ti. AMD seems to have way better used pricing than Nvidia.
- 32GB Crucial Pro DDR5 "6000mt/s" (it doesnt boot reliably with XMP at 6000, so i have to use 5600).
- MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi Motherboard - It's a motherboard. It works. Nothing special. Its popular I think? Probably because it's good for the price.
- Crucial P3 1TB NVMe SSD - Was big enough at the time, but i'll probably get a second SSD soon. I need to store my large steam library and all my game recordings thast nobody will ever see.
- NZXT Kraken 240 AIO - There's probably better AIOs but this one was not too expensive. And it has a screen for funny memes.
- Fractal Design North Case (Charcoal Black, Tempered Glass) - it looks so good with the wood front, gold power button and leather pull tab for the top panel.
- Some random USB 3 card - I broke on of the pins of the USB 3 header on my motherboard, rendering one of the two ports dead. I got a USB card with this header connection on to fix this, and also to add another USB controler to fix weird USB issues.
- AverMedia Live Gamer 4K (GC573) Capture Card - to play games on consoles through my PC without having to switch monitor input mainly.
Other random parts:
Consoles
I own too many game consoles. I don't play all of them. But they're cool I guess. Not necessarily in any sort of order, but I tried to put ones I use the most near the top.
- PS4 Pro - For Bloodborne
- Nintendo Switch
- New Nintendo 3DS XL (What a name). I have the metallic blue variant, it looks so good but the metallic paint is peeling off on one corner. Apparently this is common. Recent Addition
- Nintendo 3DS XL (Original) - I've had this for years, and the screens have gone washed out.
- Meta Quest 3 - I also have a BoboVR strap and AMVR face pad. This thing almost exclusively plays beat saber.
- DS Lite
- Modded Gameboy Advance, with funnyplaying "ITA" backlight kit (uses DSi screen) and aftermarket shell. See gallery. As a side note to this one, I also made a custom Pokemon Emerald cartrdge in matching colour with a custom label from Matthewmods on etsy. I used an RTC flash cart from insideGadgets as this was cheaper than buuying a real copy of Emerald and provides an original experience. Also lets me add QOL rom hacks.
- Gameboy Advance SP (AGS-001)
- Gameboy Micro
- Nintendo DS (Original) - My first ever console
- Nintendo Wii U
- Xbox One S (looks battered, got it for £50 from my friend to play Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga as I didnt have PC that could play it at the time)
- Xbox 360 - One of the original models, think it is the Core model (white disc tray but before they called it Arcade. No HDMI).
- PS2 with 1TB HDD
- Nintendo Gamecube - Modded with picoboot
Daily Tech
Tech that I use daily or frequently.
- iPhone 16 Pro 256GB Desert Titanium - I pre-ordered this when it came out. I had just turned 18, and had enough money for the first time so I decided to buy a new iPhone to use for many years. I have a Dbrand grip case with the cotton candy skin (it looks so good) and a Prism 2.0 screen protector on it that only took 50 DAYS before they shipped it.
- MacBook Pro 13" (2018) - My main laptop. Got it for reltively cheap in 2023 because of sticker marks on the lid (they're permanent as the metal has discoloured around where the stickers were). I put a dbrand skin on (triple black damascus) and it's fine.
- Apple Watch Series 4 - I wear this every day, but not at night. I did for a bit but sleep tracking isn't too important to me.
- AirPods Pro 2
- iPad Pro 12.9" 5th gen (M1) + Apple Pencil 2 - A recent addition. Upgraded from an iPad 6 and wow it is quite the upgrade. Just having the large screen for writing is so nice.
