I'm sure that these are the sort of things that are bought for one

sure I'll find loads of uses for it, but my main use at the moment


would be to monitor temperatures of GPUs and CPUs on laptop


motherboards.




I live about a mile away from CPC in Preston and have seen this one


for �43 inc VAT:

Anyone have experience of them? Good? Bad? Anything better for


absolutely no more than �60, but preferably �50 or less?




Best cat toy you will ever buy:-)


Yep I'll support that if fact that's pretty much all mines used for now.
Brought from Maplin for about £25.



If you are not in a rush to buy one Maplins often do half price sales on

them. Paid about �20 for mine.
