  1. I wanted to take some detail pictures to give you an idea, and I might still do that, but I'm bored as hell at work so I'm going to try to explain in words. The design is extremely simple. Not counting the glass or any of the screws, bolts, etc., there are a total of seven parts to the rack: - The back of the rack, with the holes for running wires, is one piece. - The front of the rack is four pieces, the vertical curved sides, and the horizontal beams on the top and bottom that connect the two. - Two metal bars in a reverse "C" shape. The tips are fastened to the front horizontal beams, while the backs are on either side of the back piece (with the wire holes, see picture). The entire rack is fastened together by what I think are a clever combination of certain nuts, bolts, weird screws, and fasteners for which I don't know the names. The frosted glass on the top and bottom of the rack sit on little rubber plugs which go directly into some holds on the base and top, and the other glass pieces sit on metal pieces with rubber rings that are hand screwed into the frames. The only tools I needed were a hand screwdriver, either phillips or flat, and the provided allen wrench and regular wrench (strictly for assembling the feet). Some of the pre-drilled holes in the wood needed a little bit of love when inserting the screws, as they weren't perfectly sanded down. It was fun to put together. I like it when I'm assembling a piece of furniture and everything just goes well. Makes me feel like a kid with Legos. As a contrast, a month or so ago I assembled a writing desk with an adjustable incline. What a total fucking nightmare that was. Its great now that I have it together, but it took me three afternoons, and everytime I went into that extra room which has become my library for the day's assembly work, I came out of the room hours later dripping sweat, covered in dust, and completely pissed off at the world. Assemblage of this rack took maybe an hour.

    happy birthday granodemostastoea! i bought you a dynahi for your birthday! hopefully you'll be around to claim it before midnight CST tonight. cos if not i'm fucking keeping it.
  8. Someone should make one and call it the Beta "Deuce Deuce". Paint the case camo and PuT ThAt sHiT uP 4 SaLe G~~~. word is bond yall, fuckin militant hip hop amp only, strictly 4 my NuKkAhZ dogg. beta double D comin to your town take your girl yall, sheyat.
  9. Huzzah, my desk is now uncluttered! It was really, really easy to put together, and it looks great. The wood color matches the color of my desk, and I really like the frosted glass. The one bummer is that with the turntable up so high, I can't watch the record spin, which I have grown accustomed to doing (its very relaxing, almost hypnotic), nor can I keep an eye on when the needle has almost passed through a side. For those reasons alone the SL1200 might end up back on the desk, but I'm going to give it some time. $212 after tax. I'm very pleased.
  10. I agree, the mind-blowing 105 bhp HP-2 Enduro, BMW Motorrad's monster dirt bike, is not for the meek. With a race-ready suspension and a lightweight body (386 lbs dry), this is the enduro bike that makes off-road maniacs rejoice and competitors get out of the way. Twenty-five years of rally racing experience have culminated in this edgy, breathtaking design. Shred away. Or throw street tires on it and have the ultimate super moto bike. Way better then the RS-1, IMO.
  11. This is so true. I had a real hard time deciding on an external HD to buy, because the reviews were so scattered on different brands. FWIW I went with a Seagate, and it has been excellent. I don't use it so much anymore except for backup though.
  12. but dude its like ima midnite toker cos i smoke dope too so i cna like relate to this song i don't know about raping burning bodies in hell, but this song blows. says the guy who has been listening to phil collins anyway.
  13. FWIW I'm going with the Circuit City stand. I'll probably order online for store pickup this Saturday, then go deal with the confused CC guy.
  14. I guess I am just in a position where I never listen to non-NPR radio, ever. I don't watch any of the TV music channels, or that much TV to begin with. I have no computer speakers, so no new popular music gets to me on myspace or anything. My friends all listen to kick ass music, and if they don't I quickly shame them with my superior rock knowledge, so that they feel embarassed to play anything that isn't awesome. Having said that, I do hate the Eagles.
  15. That is awesome. I have been wondering how I can get more powerful, dynamic orgasms when I masturbate.
  16. The first one is a concept album about attractive asian-american indians.
  17. The DT990 '05 is the only can I've ever really regretted selling. I may buy it again in the future. I have never heard the DT880. The DT770/80 Pro was not an acceptable can to me, I sold it very quickly.
  18. +1 to the SR225 suggestion, or RS-1 if you have the cash.
  19. I totally want to try the K340 or K1000 someday. These are not the kinds of cans I would buy-before-I-try, since you have to build a system around them. I'll just hold up for the next Mobile, AL International Meet.
  20. Really? I've been curious about this amp for sometime, but to be honest with you, its crazy popularity and reputation as *the* amp for the RS-1 actually turns me off. That and Earl gives it a lukewarm review. Can you compare it to say, the PPX3 Slam? Strictly for use with the RS-1.
  21. Hey GlendaleViper, thanks for the tips, but I (the OP) bought the RS-1s a long time ago and they are my main can! Welcome to Head-Case!
  22. Can I steal this from you and claim it as my own? Seriously, you are like, my new hero, that is so awesome.
  23. Hey, I said over $10,000! So really I was spot on. I have heard that in 7 out of 10 adults, listening to the SS-1 an average of once a day for six weeks results in a fuller, meatier, longer lasting audio experience.
  24. IIRC the SS-1 cost over $10,000. I'm either pulling this from memory or from my ass.
