These are from an era when monitors had real build quality. Average lifespan is 12-15 years (they are circa 1987-88). I have processed (ie recycled) 5 of the 16" brethern to those. They have all sorts of useful heat sinks and caps in them. And the aluminum RFI shields stack nicely to make a shelving unit.

A quick post of my temporary bedroom/office, my girlf thinks its untidy, I call it a home

Because of a move to Oxford, I have slimmed down to just 1 badass computer, seems to be stable (2.5ghz), but it still is like putting all your eggs in one basket.

No current sitting/listening room at the moment, so all the good subs, ampz and 'speakers are in storage can't wait till i have time/space to dig them out (only another year).

I have stopped posting for a while 'cos of heavy involment in a programming project for work and some house DIY, some guys helping me with my house refit call me 'lightning' when i get the hammer out!

I never strike twice in the same place!

The picture is a little out of date (and my camera is out for a couple days). One of the 19s has been replaced by a 22" and i gave the PowerBook to a friends daughter for university, ChrisB built me a proper hutch and the PowerMac G4/450/1.25 GB RAM/100 GB Disk is under the desk. The old B&W Centris (100 MHz '040) is used exclusivly for running Trapeze -- still no spreadsheet out there that can touch it, even thou the last release was 1988 (it is faster on that '040 machine than Excel is on my G4!) ... the speakers are gone too. Don't really need them with the main hifi in the same room.

My spot is very simple and uncomplicated. It serves only one purpose: forum access. When I'm done, I'm gone to the basement were my workshop is.

Here's me in my computer room. I had to run 126,000 punch cards just to make this post. I'm waiting for Nelson to perfect the MOSFET version so I can move it to a smaller room.

Ohhh. Questions...

WuffWaff, is that the Conrad E12 resistor rack?

Planet10, are the small black speakers DIY or ready-made?

Peter, what is the little shiny device on top of you PC and are those speakers Focal Wardrobe edition or Audax?

2 sets of Monsoon MM-700s setup to run stereo woofers. These are push-pull magnetostats, based on Ed Thingpen's patents, designed in Victoria, for a company in Burnaby and manufactured in thr Far East. They ar pretty good (best computer speakers i've heard. I have a friend who has for a hifi, a set of the MM1000s (larger sub) driven throu the included "passive-pre" by a higher-end Arcam CD player. It is quite remarkable.
