    We had an absurdly hot summer this year so I took a chance and bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It performed amazingly on public transport etc.

    Acer Predator Z35P. 35" of curved goodness without the blasted IPS backlight bleed. Oh, and the 1080 Ti Strix which runs it.

    Some crypto - I got in late, towards the end of November, and spread £250 across a few different cryptocurrencies but I'm already seeing some very healthy returns.

    Other than that, an MSI GTX 1070 Aero ITX OC for £289 was a pretty good deal!

    Re: QOTW: What was your favourite tech purchase of 2017?

    <thinks about it > my best buy this year was probably a second hand nh-c12pse14 heat sink / fan.>
    got it for about £20 and it drastically reduced the sound levels and temps of my cpu, also bought 3 resistor cabled for the 12 fans I have that did the same and made no difference in cooling temps for the rest of the case.

    Bought a cheap Chinese knock off of a razer golialthus mouse mat (huge one) works fine and about a 30% of the price of the real thing).
    as you can tell i'm not a guy that buys new tech ....... I work at B&Q so what do you expect

    2 IPS monitors and a gaslift arm for them.

    And then there's been a few neat kickstarter products.
