Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector

My computer is not switched on 24/7. Last Saturday, when I turn on my new computer, it causes my Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) to trip. This is the first time I encountered a trip in MCB. Typically, it is the Circuit Breaker inside my house that will be tripped.

Sadly, after that happened, I can no longer switch on my computer. I suspect my Power Supply Unit (PSU) is fried.

Peak Design Everyday Sling (5L)

Thanks to the Peak Design Facebook User Group, I came to know that B&H Photo Video had a 24-hour sale on 25th February 2020 for the Peak Design Everyday Sling (5L) at their Deal Zone section. Only the Black and Ash colors are available.

It was an open box deal, which means it is like new with an open box. When I received it, it looks brand new too me, and I can’t tell the difference.

Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable (0.8m)

The Razer Core X Chroma comes with a 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable. There is nothing wrong with the length, but the build quality of the cable is questionable.

I tested it with three MacBook Pros and all three experience frequent disconnections from the eGPU. It can be as frequent as once every 30 minutes. It is extremely irritating. Upon Googling, it seems to be a common problem.

InstamediQ Digital Forehead and Ear Thermometer

Saw one of my friend’s (Terry) Facebook posts on recommendations for a digital thermometer, and he ended up buying the InstamediQ Digital Forehead and Ear Thermometer from Amazon Singapore.

I joined the bandwagon and bought the same thermometer for S$48.91. It ships from Amazon.com, but since I am an Amazon Singapore Prime member, shipping is free for me.

Arctic P12 PWM PST Fan

For casing, I am looking at Lian Li TU150 in black. It is a mini-ITX chassis that supports four 120mm fans — two at the bottom, one in front, and one at the back.

They say Noctua has the best casing fans and hence it is expensive. It cost about US$29.90 (S$42) each.
