Just fired off 2 orders.

Atom D510 board + extra NIC + Lian Li PC-Q07 case + HDD + 8 port gigabit switch. I'll turn that into a router/firewall/squid box.

Watercool HK 3.0 LGA1336. It'll go into my main PC. The block in there currently will go into my secondary PC.

Too bad delivery time is going to be 1-2 weeks. Damn this country

Nice choices on the LI LI and HK, It will perform much better than the D-tek. Have you taken the D tek apart and cleaned the gunk out yet? It was surprising how much built up in my Apogee.

Yeah. T'was mad. The block is pretty old now. Got it when the E8400 E0 released.

The Lian Li was actually the cheapest decent m-itx case out there. I can use a proper ATX PSU. I think I'll put one of my enermaxes in there. It's fan can cool the CPU. If it's not enough, I'll add a fan at 5V. Shock mounted HDDs. Should be completely silent

Nice, I have been wanting to do a build in that case for awhile. Even thought about trying to WC one. Cable management could be tough, I was thinking of using a modular PSU with all the cable shortened down to the exact length.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

That thing looks like it cost more than my camera.

I has one. Fits a nice role. Same with my Bogen-Manfrotto monopod, and tripods of varying sizes. The rage these days are what Freezer got, mini-tripods. Really meant only for P&S tbh.

I bought one for £8 for my dad and it can support a Nikon D40 with a telephoto lens. Good shit.

Though the legs have to be basically horizontal (so, like splayed out as much as possible) when using that lens

But hey, it works. fits in my pocket too.

It'd better been at the same price of the G15 or lower...

That thing is a Douché-board imho

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
