I liked it so much, that I ordered one in black myself.
Thanks
No problem! It's a solid little wallet and it's a nice change of pace from the usual wallets out there.

Oh, wow! I built a very similar computer just a month ago! :O You have an extra TB over me, though.

It is indeed an amazing case.
Yeah I already had a Sammy 850 evo from my laptop, it sits in the back compartment. Cable management was a breeze, behind the mobo there is enough space (1/3 of case width) to gather all cables. Also that's where the PSU, 2x5.25 and 4xSSD cases sit together. This is why I love the cube, plenty of room for just about everything.

Cool what color did you went for? HDD is almost full, I added another 500GB drive I had laying around but I might go for another 4TB lol.

I got the white case, but mine's the Air 240, which is the smaller version of yours. But we have the same CPU, GPU and motherboard (not to mention similar RAM, and HDDs), haha! With all the slots for HDDs in the case, I sure wish the motherboard had more SATA ports. :S
It has 6 ports, enough for all HDD&SSD that can be mounted inside the case:
4xSATAIII
1xSATA Express which is actually 2xSATAIII and another connector.

Star Fox Zero is here, one day early from Nintendo's official UK store:
The SteelBook is really rather nice, with impressive detailing on the inside:

Well, I managed to secure myself some really nice stuff this month.
1st, the obvious one, Dark Side edition of Star Wars VII
2nd, a collector's edition of the original Ghost in the Shell movie (and NO, I didn't buy it just because of the new movie, I actually found out about it about a week after I bought this. What actually swayed me was the awesome FPS game right now on steam called Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex: First Assault)
And lastly, the grand prize, I finally managed to get my hands on a collector's edition for Final Fantasy Type-0, which is one of the best collector's editions I have ever seen. And it's ****ing huge, man!

Stone cold classic. Good job getting that release too, GitS 2.0 has some of the scenes replaced with CGI, and that is available in a double pack with GitS 2, at least here in Europe - though I have the exact GitS steel that you do so I assume you're probably from here too?
Anyway, I despise when people decide that CGI can enhance something that is already visually stunning.

Aye, Czech Rep.

Oh boy, whatever I'm looking at, I feel like I want it too. Is there a specific thread/post where you talk about it more extensively?

Pleasantly surprised to see that Star Fox Guard is actually on a disc instead of a download code which I presumed (that is, the First Print edition. the normal loose edition is in fact a code).
I also got a SFZ poster, but I forgot to take a picture. It's the cover of the game in poster form.

Got this a few months ago and finally got a decent picture of the console. Really liking it compared to the N3dsXL. Feels better in the hands and the matte finish is fantastic too. Taking this and a few other pics outside I realized that even on 5 for the backlight you can't see shit outside on it. Too bad it doesn't have the GBA advance style screen or a e-ink "switch" so I could see it out there.
Got this to read again with my daughter. Already have the 5 initial comics but this collection is so good had to get it again. Pretty much anything Skottie Young is involved in I will buy just for the art.

Expensive month for me again (Why are fast lenses so damn expensive?!).
Being a huge Souls Fan I had to get the Collector's edition of Dark Souls 3. I passed on DS2's CE because I didn't like the statue but this one looks great.
Whenever there's a new Souls game I also tend to get the guides for them. The prima guide however is a little odd, starting at Chapter 3 and missing Chapter 10. I also ordered DS2's CE art book for $4 on Ebay. The highlight though is the Dark Souls themed controller that my wife got me
Gohastings had a price mistake (?) where they sold each used Blu Ray and DVD for $4 + $1.50 shipping. I picked up Season 1-3 of Game of Thrones along some other movies like Siccario and The Martian,
Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD Set. Ordered it because I keep hearing how great it is.
My biggest pick up this month is a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 VC lens for my Nikon DSLR (which I used for the pictures). This thing takes awesome pictures and the lower f/stops/ lager aperture is a game changer for me when taking pics of moving objects.
Here are 2 sample pictures I took this morning (First moose I've seen since moving to Alaska).

Even with three year-old hardware, the experience is amazing.
Those Game Boy's look amazing, I need to start using mine more.
My pick ups from the last month or so.

Star Fox Zero itself arrived a couple of days ago, but today I've the LE guide, plus Galactic Civilizations III on PC (too tempting a price for the special edition at just £7 - it even includes a manual!) and the physical copy of Super Mario 3D Land that I've been wanting for a while:

Yep, more headphones.
AKG M220. Basically just a prettier version of the K240s. And man are these things pretty!
They also sound VERY nice. Kinda hard to believe a $70 headphone is so refined and well-rounded.

I'm finally almost through the tipping point of the first game. This release basically got me to go back and finish that finally!

Decent month for me so far:
Looking forward to starting this book!
Wars of Stars of course:
Dark Souls 3:
My love of coffee just jumped up a notch. A nespresso machine!

I'd still be using mine if the charging port hadn't worn out. Just be gentle with the plug when you charge it, or get a wireless charger. It would still charge but it took a lot of trying to find the right spot or angle.
I sold it to my friend at work for real cheap and then he dropped it down some stairs and destroyed it a week later
yay
Wow nice. Are these modified to light the screen ?
There was a little-known official revision of the GBA SP with a backlit screen, called the AGS-101. Example, compared to the standard frontlit model:
These two GBAs I now own have screens taken from AGS 101s. The result is basically this, which I consider to be the best way to play GBA games, hands down:
In other news...the guy who did my backlit DMG kindly took my request for a backlit pocket to replace the one that got stolen. Picked it up yesterday, it's glorious:
and here's the entire set so far of backlit modded consoles...GBC not pictured, as there's no backlit mod available for that yet sadly (although experiments are happening apparently). Also, it's probably obvious, but each console has those sweet scratchproof glass lens replacements:

Bought an OG Xbox and a Dreamcast last week. Xbox was around 35 bucks with two controllers and 7 games included, which I thought was a pretty good deal. Certainly the best I could find where I live. Also, Dark Souls 3 which I already finished. ^_^

Currently looking for a QI pad now. I'd honestly be less annoyed if the USB was the right way round. Figured I'd return this in a couple weeks with 2016 Nexus rumors starting to heat up, but I don't think I can ask for anything more.
