Today's replacement is the earbuds that were stolen. The first ones were actually an impulse buy when I was at my conference in Adelaide. I like to wear hats sometimes, but I also like toe ear headphones all the time. So I bought the earbuds - a pair of Jabra something or rathers. They have nosie cancelling (although it's not super good) and sound alright.
I also got the new M2 SSD and 3.5" SATA drives that I ordered. Took the opportunity to redo the thermal paste and give it a good dusting. M2 screws are such a pain to put back in. I tried for 10 minutes to get the screw back in, but I couldn't get it in. I eventually caved and put a piece of double sided tape on the screw to keep the screw and screwdriver together. Worked well. But with how difficult that was, I kind of wish I'd just gone for the largest M2 I could afford, rather than getting a small M2 and a larger HDD. Also decided to reinstall windows, just to get a clean slate
The GPU still hasn't been shipped and I'm getting more annoyed every day with these MWave people
