These are high-quality notebooks with archival quality paper.

Much of my writing is pen and paper, and it turns out that good paper also matters a lot. I'm perfectly comfortable with cheap paper in a three-ring binder, but I want something much better for travel and for long-term storage. A bookshelf of these little notebooks also look a hell of a lot better than binders.

NZXT H2 Silent Mid-Sized Tower

aka NZXT CS-NT-H2-B or H2-001-BK

Conclusion: Seems great!

NZXT H2 Silent Mid-Sized Tower

I snapped off the front door, tried to glue it on and then snapped it off again. While it's not fragile as fuck, I'm clumsy and it's not very well made.

Pen and Paper

I write short stories. On paper. With a pen.

One of the obvious questions one would have come to mind when seeing me work is "Why use pen and paper?" In an era of computers and sophisticated writing software, isn't the pen obsolete? Not even close.

Probably the best mouse ever made, whose style has never been matched.

The fact that it has a unique style makes it unfortunate and impossible to replace.

A tool-free dock. Plug a hard drive in like a floppy. Does not support hot swapping, but doesn't need to. Turn it off, plug in a hard drive, turn it on.

Has two front-facing IDE ports.
