Very similar story here. Ages back I think I got the order next day somehow (in Adelaide), now it can take perhaps _almost_ a week (I just…
For what it's worth I've had these headphones for a little over a year and they're fantastic, lovely battery live (I usually get 13 hours…
That looks close enough - I believe via USB-C I was getting 2560x1440@60Hz which was stretched and disgusting. HDMI 2.0 cable is still the…
Everything else is fantastic - calibrating the colours to within reasonable to the IPS I've got next to it wasn't too bad. Assume…
Could very well be - external displays on Mac is so hit and miss! I was originally thinking of getting a 4k display but I've heard horrible…

Yep 9 bar is what you want to target. From what I read with my Gaggia Classic targeting 10 bar pressure with an empty portafilter should…

Funnily enough I've been pretty happy on Internode, always kicked the idea around of jumping ship to a different provider for some price…

I'm happy with my single boiler Gaggia Classic though I will say that I primarily drink espresso so I only steam milk for guests
JamesBrooks replied to froddoog on [Back Order] Gaggia New Classic Pro Cherry Red Coffee Machine $679 Delivered (RRP $999) @ Appliances Online
It's single boiler so there is a wait. I find going from espresso to steaming isn't too bad, going back can be a bit slower but running…

The deal description mentions it's only for users on current plans <100/40Mbps. I'm also on 100/40 with Internode and I haven't had any…
JamesBrooks replied to azm on [Back Order] Gaggia New Classic Pro Cherry Red Coffee Machine $679 Delivered (RRP $999) @ Appliances Online
Looks about right, I got a lot of my components for a lot cheaper (and slower) from China. Like MAX+Thermocouple looks about the same…
JamesBrooks commented on [Back Order] Gaggia New Classic Pro Cherry Red Coffee Machine $679 Delivered (RRP $999) @ Appliances Online
Make sure to check the output pressure and adjust accordingly, many classics (at least mind did but I don't have the Pro so take this with…

That is a better deal I think. I'm using a Dell IPS (though 1440p) currently and I'm really happy with Dell quality. There was a deal for…
JamesBrooks posted a deal Kogan 27" Ultra HD 4K IPS FreeSync Monitor (3840x2160) $339 (Was $549.99, 38% off) + Shipping (Free with Kogan First)
I've been looking for a nice cheap mid-sized 4k IPS display for a while now and this price really seems to tick a lot of boxes.
Just a shame it hasn't been to sub-270 for a while as that's my trigger price. Hopefully again soon! :)
