Too Many Hosts... Anyone Else?

Hey everyone.

So I don't know if this is common or not, but I am literally rolling in hosts, heatsinks and batteries. I have slightly fewer drivers (two spares on hand right now, getting another soon), but I am diodeless.

Whenever I get a new diode, I always either kill it or stick it in a host the day I get it. Is everyone else like this? Or are some people "diode-rich but host-poor"?
 





But you're rolling in everything and I am sure you have the expertise to make more drivers :P

I wish I was diode rich... I have three good hosts all set up, driver and everything, for diodes, just waiting on the diode -.-
 
I am generally diode rich, driver rich, and very host poor.

I've got a number of LED drivers of varying usefulness, a bunch of LDO ICs from digikey, and a number of diodes, but generally no extra hosts.

Having said that, I just used my last 445, so I'm diode poor again, and need to find somewhere in Canada to buy another projector reasonably :(
 
:\ Damn you guys being diode rich! I always have a bunch of regulating ICs (I just get 5 at a time as samples from TexInst and Lin3ar, mwahaha), I think I am sitting on like 20 1117s of varying packages and a bunch of 1085s, 317s, etc. but I never have diodes! I am so jealous! ERG (not the unit).
 
I'm diode, host, heat sink, driver poor. :cryyy:

Got plenty of batteries though. :yh:
 
Im pretty much got all of the above... I am just poor in the most important area:

TIME!

Click to expand...

The solution: We all need to trade!

I know I'd gladly trade 445 diodes for cool hosts.
 
Haha. Well if you are interested in trading, I have a couple of hosts that I am sitting on, but they aren't necessarily cool hosts =p They are just... hosts :P
 
same here. I've got 4 hosts + heatsinks, 4 flashlights that could be turned into a host, 2 or 3 empty aixiz modules, 1 non-working microboost and few other items, but NO DIODES! :eek:
rhd: I've got 2 hotlights... wanna trade? :D
