WTS: Royal Republiq leather briefcase

evilnickwong — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:45:27 +0800

Selling my leather briefcase as I feel like giving Filson a go. Have been using this for about a year+, still in excellent condition.

Official website details here:
http://www.royalrepubliq.com/webshop/royal...s-pr/pr227/c-97

Do note that there is a typo on their website, it does not fit a 17" MBP, but rather the samller 15.4" one. I've used it to fit my 15.6" XPS 15z, but that was quite snug. Would be perfect for a 14" or smaller laptop though.

Original price was 180eur before shipping costs. I'm asking RM350 now considering it's a year+ old.

If you're interested, do let me know via PM or whatsapp @ +659720.six.seven.six.seven
I'm located in Singapore, but will be back next week for CNY, so can COD then (29th Jan > 5th Feb)

Thanks guys.

Any tips on places to shop in Bangkok?

evilnickwong — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:22:19 +0800

I'll be going to Bangkok soon for the first time. Would just like to know if there are any particular places worth checking out for men's goods?

I'm most interested in shoes, are there are good deals to be had for nice leather dress shoes? e.g. oxfords, wingtips etc

Car insurance for younger drivers

evilnickwong — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:50:07 +0800

I've been on AIG insurance with my car for about 3 years now and this year I see that my premium is about RM100+ higher than last year even though it's still the same insured amount.

I called them and they told me that this year, they have a policy where those under 29 yrs of age get a 15% loading on their premium.

Anyway, before I renew with them again, I was wondering if there's any insurance company out there that doesn't do this sorta loading for younger drivers?
And also, do they all determine the basic premium for a given insured amount the same way? If so, then the only difference would be their policy in loading and etc right?

Need a 2.5" SATA enclosure for a 500GB drive

evilnickwong — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:14:09 +0800

I have a 500GB WD SATA 2.5" drive that I want to use as a external drive, but all the enclosures I see only list their support up to 320GB at the most. Anyone know of which hard drive enclosures have support for a 500GB? Or if such limits really exist at all?

How to open this Sonic Gear speaker?

evilnickwong — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:03:10 +0800

I've got this Sonic Gear speaker and recently, the wires from one of the satellites came out. Anyway, I want to resolder the connection back, but the satellite doesn't seem to have any visible way to open and disassemble it. No screws or tabs, nothing. Anyone know? The only thing I could think is to seperate the silver front from the black wood body, but so far it seems to be fastened pretty tight.

Kenwood HU showing Mech Error

evilnickwong — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:05:32 +0800

Hi guys, today all of a sudden, my Kenwood MP4023G showed me a MECHA ERROR message, thereafter, whenever I put in a CD, it will spin and whirr for awhile (louder than normal) then it just rejects the CD and ejects it back out.

I tried pressing the Reset button to reset the HU, but after that the problem is still there.

Some of the online comments I've read stated that this is a mechanical error and it needs to be serviced/fixed or something's up with the laser.

Anyone experienced this before?

Silly but I'm serious

evilnickwong — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:21:40 +0800

OK, I just got a pair of MX400-CS earphones. Now, I wanna install the foam covers that came with the earphones (as I understand, they do help improve sound quality), but the holes on the foam covers are really small compared to the earphones themselves. So, is there any trick to getting them on or do I just stretch the buggers?

Enlight 420W on C2D, 9600GT OK?

evilnickwong — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 10:00:30 +0800

Hi there guys,

Gonna help a friend get a upgrade. Basically now the system is a 2.8 Northwood P4, Abit IC7-G and 6600GT AGP.

The planned upgrade is to a E4300, Abit IP35-E and a 9600GT.

What I'm wondering is, will the current Enlight 420W be enough for the new system? First problems is that it has 20 and 4 pin connectors whereas the new boards wants 24 and 8 pin connectors, and also it doesn't have a 6pin PCI-E connector for the 9600GT.

Budget is an issue, so trying to keep things low cost. But still prefer C2D over AMD.

Any opinions on choice of mobo/CPU?

How hard is it to replace a surface mount opamp?

evilnickwong — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:56:10 +0800

OK, so I was reading this guide over here:
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=229350

And now I'm itchy to try some LM4562 and Blackgate caps on my A2ZS as well.
Now, the only thing is, my soldering skills are so so only. I know how it's supposed to be done, but the end result isn't usually that perfect. I always have trouble getting the tin to melt into the two different surfaces.

Anyway, the opamp is obviously pretty small, so I'm wondering how hard it is to do compared to say, soldering 2 wires together, or soldering a molex pin onto a wire.

Also, I've seen people selling the LM4562MA here, but I'm not sure about availability for the Rubycon Blackgate caps (2200uF, 16V).
And, is it a good idea to solder a socket into place, then just put the LM4562 into the socket? You know, in case later itchy to try something else.

Acer Aspire L320, feedback anyone?

evilnickwong — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:25:52 +0800

Hi guys,

My dad is interested in getting the Acer Aspire L320 for his office.
More info here:
http://www.acer.com.my/product/prod_overvi...20L320%20Series

Anyway, he wants the top model with the E6320 that costs RM2588, then an additional RM190 for another 1GB of RAM to make it 2GB.

I'm wondering if anyone here has seen it in LYP, perhaps there might be a lower price? Especially for the part on adding RAM. My dad only wants the newer design (as in the above link), not the older one which is the same size.

Would appreciate if someone could let me know before I make the trip over to LYP.
If prices don't differ too much, he might just get it at retail price from Harvey Norman or somewhere else nearer to save hassle.

Cheers!

Maltese + Jack Russell Terrier = ?

evilnickwong — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:11:25 +0800

Hi all, first time visitor to the Pets Wonderland subforum, so don't flame if this is the wrong section to post k.

My gf has a couple of dogs, one is a male Maltese and the other a female Jack Russell.
Recently they had puppies, 3 in fact. 1 brown, 1 black and 1 white with brown spots.

She can't keep all of them (She also has a huge golden retriever ) so she was wondering if anyone would buy them?
The concern is, neither parent has any special pedigree/etc as far as she knows, so she's not sure.

Any advice/suggestions/info guys? Thanks!
