I’ve got 3 on my list.

  1. BT-PAN Access Point - Kinda ridiculous, but I’d like to have one. I’ve also found a few BT-PAN-enabled dial-up modems, but I’d have no way to connect those up. Some of those could even be connected to USB printers for wireless printing. Not particularly useful anymore, I just find those devices interesting.
  2. Dot matrix printer - This one isn’t even as ridiculous. I really love that sound and how the text they print looks. Sadly, if I am looking for new ones, a basic 9-pin Epson dot matrix is around €200. But the ribbons are cheap as chips. In fact, often even cheaper. Just imagine casually handing out a document printed on dot matrix to someone nowdays.
  3. Nano pocket drone - Something like FQ777-124. Maybe a toy like that is a bit childish, but it still can be fun. In fact I already tried to order this one. From 4 different sellers, twice on AliExpress, twice on Amazon. I never got it :(

    1. A custom gaming pc built by Digital Storm to replace my HP Omen laptop. I’ve done quite a bit of research. I looked at Digital Storm, AVA Direct, Maingear, Falcon Northwest, and System 76. For a while I was eyeing Maingear, then Falcon Northwest, but Digital Storm has most of the options that I’d want.

    2. An 85 inch 8k tv for enthusiast purposes.

    3. A three set bookcase for my room so that I can replace my old bookcase and to better store the books that I have and more.

    4. A Purple queen-sized mattress with an adjustable base to replace my old bed and twin-sized mattress and also my incline pillow.

        There are some pros to prebiilts. Having to deal with a single company for warranty instead of one for every component, for example.
