For my PCs I got a SAS controller off ebay.
For my A4000 I got a ZZ9000 with the audio module. Still just admiring it. (Talk about not being observant - I wanted it for the scandoubling possibility, but the ethernet and USB I had totally ignored - so one Zorro slot gained!)

A Pony 4070 Ti XLR8 12GB. I'm trying to figure out how to compute how many AGA's it has in WinUAE, but there aren't enough letters on the keyboard. I'm thinking somewhere north of ôAGA, but can't be sure.

Not Amiga, and not "bought today," but recently my replacement composite RCA jack and Traco showed up.
So I finally got around to doing some work on my Timex Sinclair 1000.
The metal post in the RCA jack that makes contact to the center pin on the RCA plug had snapped off (the previous owner just "slid" it back in and I hadn't noticed till I did my composite mod; didn't fix it at the time as I wasn't sure how I was going to get the current jack out) and I needed to replace it.
Took some work with a screwdriver and a pliers, mostly the pliers crushing it (luckily it was soft metal) at different points till I got it small enough to push into the modulator box and out.
Installing the new one was pretty easy. It is one of the ones that slides in and a nut on the other side holds it in place. Glad that is done.
And while I had it open, I replaced the 7805 voltage regulator (and the huge heat sink) with a Traco.
So now, my TS1000 is happy with it's cooler power, stable RCA jack, and 16k RAM (which I did when I also installed the ZX8-CCB composite mod).
Used my TZXDuino to load up some 3D Monster Maze (and died SO FAST... I think it was a record for me)...

Of course, I just saw that people are making incredible 32k and even 48k games for the 81...
I can't keep up!! :-)

Good!
I bought, many months ago, a Murata regulator for my Spectrum 48K, but didn't mount it yet.

Just a question: I read somewhere (I don't remember where, maybe a Facebook group) that Traco/Murata regulators may introduce noise (on the video signal, if I remember well). Is it true or (I hope) not?

I didn't notice it on my TS1000. I have composite modded it with a ZX8CCB and of course it is monochrome, so it might be more forgiving with interference, not having to worry about color. ;-)

Yeah, just did some more checking and I'm seeing no interference... The Gauntlet looks great as far as I can tell...
(It did take about 7-8 minutes to load using my TZXDuino. ;-)

In the past month got:

* Steam Deck (512GB one)
* 2 Roccat Vulcan 120 keyboards (for my kid and I)
* Another smaller keyboard for MiSTer FPGA (Anivia Mechanical Gaming Keyboard)
* PiStorm32 Lite (on order)

Will have to purchase Scart cable for Amiga and Scart - HDMI convertor as some suggest this as best way to connect Amiga to HDMI monitor.
