with its Factory tuning and data center DNA an Intel 730 series SSD is an
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts welcome to Handy
Tech under $100 episode three where I give very brief overviews of Gizmo's
gadgets and gear that I or someone in the lineus tech tips crew here has been
using lately and has been coming in handy for us so first
is something that I should have gotten a long time ago these things are only a
few bucks and if you've ever lost like
one screw one screw while working on
something like a notebook or a phone where it's basically impossible to
replace them once they're gone then you owe yourself one of these I actually
picked up two different kinds of magnetic Parts trays the first one is
the aptly named taan magnetic Parts tray
and the second is the sensually named tekon 9 in magnetic Parts tray it keeps
your nuts and small tools within reach
it sounds less like Parts tray and more like parte know what I'm saying anyway
functionally they're both pretty similar you put metal objects in
them that is to say metal objects containing iron nickel or Cobalt and
they well most of them okay that's not actually that doesn't have iron in it
and they stick so you don't lose them they've got sweet rubber bases on them
so they don't move around on the table while you're working and in case you
want them to be really secure the bottom is magnetic too so you can actually
stick the entire thing to a vertical metal surface if you want to I've only
had them for a little while but they've already saved my bacon a couple of times
even once when I forgot to use it and had to pick up some screws that I had
already dropped on the carpet just go like this love these things number two
today is something that I actually personally can't use comply brand ear
tips are available in a variety of styles and for a wide variety of
different inar headphones they're made of super soft memory foam and they
completely replace the cheap silicone ones that usually come with your
earphones with the goal of improving Comfort outside noise isolation and
sound quality particularly at the low end where bass is concerned now I said I
can't use them but it's not because I don't want to or because they don't work
with my old steel series flux inar Pro earphones they had all of the intended
effects and I loved them with my only complaint being that they wear out
faster than the silicone Alternatives and need to be replaced much more
frequently with my Sennheiser ie80s the
drivers are much larger and even the
smallest comply tips which I usually find to be about equivalent to one size
up for for a silicone tip just don't fit in my ears well enough for me to use
them properly so the way you're supposed
to use them is you squish them up insert them into the ear canal and let them
expand for a really nice seal but I just can't squish them enough to get them to
really get in there very well edzel on the other hand swears by them and he
stocks up on them every once in a while to the point where he just refuses to
use normal ones so check out their earphone finder pick the series you like
they range in price for my earphones from about $4 to $6 per pair of tips and
then pick a color you like and you are good to go item number three is
something that I've had sitting on my need to make a video about this list for
quite some time now I would have said not long ago that nothing can really be
done to improve SATA cables not so with
the cp11 SATA cable Silverstone has solved a fundamental problem with the
way that many motherboards have their SATA connectors positioned this is a
right angle connector and it's great because no components will be installed
over top of it this is a regular connector one that's more frequently
found on small high-end boards and
normal siiz mid-range or low-end boards
and the problem with them is that they can interfere with things like graphics
cards making many of the SATA ports on your motherboard potentially useless the
cp11 has a remarkably thin cable for easy management and a head that is so
low profile that you can actually populate an entire Bank of plugs
directly under an expansion card so you can use your motherboard to its full
potential not the kind of thing I generally make a dedicated video about
but definitely something to keep in mind next time you're working on a small form
factor machine and are having trouble with cable management speaking of
management I was having trouble figuring out where to put all the cool t-shirts
that I got from being part of the 54 Club so I wore them all at once
as you probably noticed throughout this video 54 service is incredibly cool you
sign up in under a minute so you don't have to worry about shopping anymore
they send you $120 or more worth of clothes every month and to be a member
you only pay $60 per month well lonus
how do I know they won't send me something that makes no sense and
doesn't go with the rest of the Wardrobe I'm building from their site great
question you submit your preferences during the sign up process and your own
personal style picks out new clothes for you every month so you can always look
great without dealing with the vulture I mean uh salese in traditional clothing
stores sign up for the club today at bit lee/ Linus FFC which is linked in the
video description and you can save 15 bucks on your first month that's $120
worth of clothing for 45 bucks give being de-stressed and well-dressed a
shot thanks for watching this third installment of Handy tech for $100 or
less as usual with these I'll do my full disclosure bit so I bought the magnetic
screw holders on Amazon because I'm sick of losing screws uh while the other two
were sent to me to try out and I didn't pay for them the comply tips definitely
merited a mention because edzel has been harassing me to do a dedicated video of
these since I hired them and they really are better than the ones that come with
your earphones in all likelihood as for the SATA cables I ended up doing a video
on these because while I told Silverstone that go ahead and send them
I'll use them for builds but I'm not going to do video they' have come in
handy quite a few times for me already so I figured you know what hey this is
something that's come in handy for me maybe it'll come in handy for you guys
