Wow that battery charger gets warm with 3 18650s and a 14500 in it charging at the same time!!

Usually just with the initial charge on batteries , after that it runs pretty cool .

Its nice, unlike my single charger I was using before the batteries are cool and only the charger itself is hot.

That other charger the battery always got very hot.

Sam, put the charger on something less combustible.

That's usually not good , the Nitecore has auto shutoff too so no worries about over charging .

Once you start working in the IT field, it seems you need to have many monitors.... Here's my primary workstation. I still have another desk with 4 monitors attached as well. I use to run a few servers and some VMWare stuff, but I've cut that back.

I have 2 27" 2560x1440 monitors but I dont have the adapters yet to hook them to the mac mini or I would have 3 of them set up right now.

I used to use them for gaming but my gaming computer fried, literally, so I am gaming on a 14" laptop right now. I like it because I game now from my recliner

Same in graphic production and web/software development. I haven't had a single monitor workstation since around 2000. And there's still never enough screen space.

One thing I learned is that I should have purchased all 4 monitors at the same time. When you start piecing things together, my OCD kicks in and nothing aligned, or looks right. When I did some graphic and video stuff, it was always hard to get the colors to look exactly right without spending a few grand on a monitor. All 4 of the monitors I have were only about $600 total, purchased over a year.

It's still an awesome workstation setup you have there! I agree on the OCD kicking in. Good pricing on your monitors. Most of mine were more than $600 each, but still are mismatched. Instead of calibrating them, I use the variations to get a sense of how badly colors will shift when viewed out there in the wide world.

Whenever I attach something to a post I go advanced so I can preview the post. That way I make sure it's the right attachment.

Not yet. Just finished lunch. I'm holding my own. I've been worse but it still sucks.
