I bought a VR headset the other week that you put your phone into. I've tested it out with a few things and it's pretty cool. It ended up costing me $24AU and seems go well with my Galaxy S5.

Not a common problem... In fact, it's the kind of problem that would drive the technically inclined nuts!! Like a CASE causing a computer not to work.. You try everything else, and it turns out to be the case... WTF?!?!?!?

I wish I had a $50,000 PC it's only 5G (4.6 current used, parted out value) And yes, my PC is still worthless without its Games SSD WAY TO RUB IT IN... BASTARD!!!

Of course, if you'd like to donate $30 I can finish my PC and then be happy with it.. If not, I'll have to wait 2 weeks

I blame Intel.. I could sell my 4790K for more now USED, than the brand new price.

If skylake CPU's weren't $100 - $200 more than last gen for a marginal performance gain. I might upgrade, End of the year I'm looking forward to see if AMD can finally do something right again, I REALLY hope so.

Also. I have bought a pioneer blu ray writer, and 3 DVD writers for $40

going to build a media PC
