Nobody, but the 470 and 480 are space heaters.

I would actually like to have them with the power buttons toward the middle, but you can't see shit that way. Bloody TN panels.
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

EDIT:

@ whoever gave me the karma.

I managed to get the 9 cell because I decided on the Studio XPS 16 instead of the Studio 15 which I was originally going to get. For some reason Dell made the upgrades on the Studio 15 more expensive so it became cheaper (and better in general) to go for the XPS.

Only if you're blind.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Currently typing on the same 1080P LED Dell Panel.  Reading is just fine.  And text is sharp.

You do. Really. That's barely even 100PPI.

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

Then you're just bad at computing.

On the topic of this thread, I just got roughly this:

About 150kg of power supplies, meter panels, RF amplifiers and miscellaneous components from a local radio tower. It's some pretty bad-ass stuff to pick components out of, even though they're somewhat useless as-is, as there are no analogue TV/radio channels left anywhere. This stuff wasn't cheap when it was new, we're talking about the equivalent of a small car for each piece. The big, blue scope at the bottom (which unfortunately isn't mine) is supposed to have cost as much as four cabriolets, back in the fifties.

See that box on top to the right? It's a 300W power amplifier for analogue TV, and the whole underside of it is one humongous heat sink. I got four of those.

But my favourite thing out of it all is this RF waveform monitor. I've been looking for a cheap scope for quite a while, and while it may not be the best thing out there for oscilloscope duty, it'll do a hell of a lot better than nothing.

Well, general scope duty. I'd guess it'll mainly get used to check if the frequency generator in various power supplies work.

Since you're in the UK, sure. That'd be awesome, actually.

Apparently the v2s are more comfortable for longer use, and they come in red, white, and black as far as I know. I got them because they come with a soundcard built in and will work with my PS3 and laptop.
