teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Joe Redifer]

Sony lab monitors are the best (except the usual small size)

And the screen curvature.  I don't like seeing substantially much more at the bottom center than at the bottom right and left corners, etc.

[SuperDeadite]

Screen size and position can easily be adjusted on any decent monitor.  In my experience with pure RGB, certain devices like to hug to one side of the screen or the other.  Having picture adjustment options is mandatory.  Even more so if you are into arcade pcbs which use all kinds of non-standard craziness.

that looks great.  I'm still trying to "See" so I can "unsee"... searching for a good RBG monitor still

thats because once you see RGB you cannot unsee. Composite will forever look like ass

I tried bidding on a boxed TurboBooster on ebay 2 years ago and it went for almost $80, so I'd say yes.

eventually ol;Henry traded me his for my boxed PCE Forgotten Worlds w/3 button pad..

is that a good price?

Here's what I picked up at Turbo Fest as well as a few other things that came in just before or while I was there:
(you can click on the images for larger versions)



I took a couple of closeups of the Duo for Bernie (Thanks again Bernie!)


BlueBMW worked his magic on this Duo.  I'm sure the insides look as awesome as the outside does.  Hiding in the corner to the right is a really slick region switch.


These came from Alexsduo's vendor booth.  Great guy to deal with.  I'm so happy to have Cadash back in my collection without having to drop a ton of money on it.  Thanks again!


Master System games came from Jeff.  


I won the briefcase unit from SMF's raffle.  Woot!  Thanks so much!  Now I just need to track down appropriate power cables and a CD add-on.


Hoobs was gracious enough to send me the manuals.  Thanks so much!  Power League III was a raffle win from Jibbajabba.  Thanks!

Man, I still need to get me a US Duo.

Thanks!  I'm a big fan for retrogamecave.  Strangely enough, Chuck, the guy that runs retrogamecave, sent me a VHS demo tape of obscure PCE games back in the late '90s when we were both on the Turbo Mailing List.  He's a good guy.   I'll be picking up another of his AC adapters soon.

I will always hate this thread. I can't afford to buy much these days, so this thread is just one goddamn tease.

Pity me.
