Oh, come on. ^^

Should I dig out your last great buy?
More than 1.400 I'm sure of ...
Ok, the NB is 6.600RM, this I would
understand, but not 'bout the TFT.

I got myself a new Celeron 420 yesterday.

Tested it. Magnificient - it works like a castrated Conroe, but with 800MHz and 512K cache. Definitely a P4 killer with less wattages.

The only thing I really don't enjoy IS the fan which kept whirring loudly until 3000 RPM. I can't even control the fan speed even, despite the PWM controls and Asus's special Qfan thingy.

Oh... will brag about that cheapy thing RM170 later... I'm slightly drunk because of the wine...

Ever since I bought my ATH A500 headphones a while ago, I've loved them to bits. Super comfy. Incredible sound.

So since I was in the market for a more portable (read: smaller) but great sounding pair of headphones for the office, I once again looked at Audio-Technica.

My aim was to spend ~ 50 bucks shipped. And after looking at the suitable ones that fit my criteria, I settled on the ATH SJ5.

So I finally got them in the mail from Japan-land today...

They are super lightweight. I can't even feel the weight on my head. I can barely feel them at all (so it won't squeeze your brains out of your ears). I heard that ATs are super comfy and the two that I have are a testament towards that. They don't look half bad either.

Of course they don't sound as nice as my ATH-A500s bit they are awesome. Bass isn't as deep, high end is crisp, mid range is very very good. Plus they're pretty small (so you won't walk around looking like a doofus).

I r happy.

Cool headphones. You can listen to nice baroque orchestra clean and crisp there. Fit it with a tube amp, and you'll be like sitting in Philharmonic Orchestra.

Meanwhile, for me, I will sell the Celeron 420 to my relative, and also I bought a Pentium Dual-Core E2140 today. Works nice, and works cool.

Not really new but since Psyk requested for a pic or two once I've done it.

My Storm G4 (rev. 1 only) finally back on duty after over a year gathering dust.

The SJ5 are for office and portable applications.

I have my awesome A500 for listening pleasure.

The SJ5 is very very impressive (crisp, clear) but the bass isn't as deep as my A500 (punch is there though). I really really like the crispness of this.

Super light and i can barely feel them on.

Now my dad wants an AT...
