All hail the queen!

Uh, dumbass, we won the world series last year. We haven't been suffering for any length of time.

Gotta love Ray's outrage at design theft.

My guess, they battled injury and an asshole named manram all year and in the end they're spent and their pitching shows it most of all.

Mine was 120/70 when I visited the doc today.

FIFY

cues up laptop burn-in debate

I know, Nate doesn't need a new macbook either since he just bought a firewire based source (no, not a duet).

Grawk can buy my old Macbook and I'll buy a new one. I'll even give him a good deal, honest.

The 2.0 is probably plenty, I'd get as much RAM as you can afford. HD space, eh, what are you going to store on it?

Yeah, no firewire, bummer.

Damn, that's pretty sweet.

Nah, that's ok, it just might make a decent xmas present for someone else.

What makes you say that? Granted, I think his chassis lacks creativity but generally speaking if he offers warranty and other customer support associated with the sale that price is pretty easily justified. I'd stack that amp up against just about anything in the sub $500 bracket and expect it to hold its own. At least from a design perspective I can't fault ALO for seeking out Ti, but he may quickly discover the DIY-ain't-worth-a-damn paradigm.

Very curious to hear your thoughts, the screen shots look like it runs software very similar to the Touch.

I can't wait to see the bent-cap-lead gymnastics.

I'm not really sure how exotic they could have gone with caps given the extreme space constraints of the case.

Thanks Steve. Hopefully with some of the heavy fabrication work done (specifically those 2-1/2" holes) I'll be able to do more at night after Lily and Mom go to bed. Up next is getting the remaining power supply caps mounted (they go under the chassis) and laying out the 9 holes that I have to make for the pcb to mount. Maybe I'll get to throw the power switch on this sucker before Christmas.

I think that the company was purchased recently (there's a thread on HF somewhere) and that you are not alone in your issues in dealing with them. Yup, just confirmed it, they're owned by Logitech now, so I wonder how much things have changed around there recently...

I weep for the rape of DIY.

With limited hours in the day to do what I want to do and more shows then I have time there is little doubt that things will remain this way for the foreseeable future. Thus, behind the curve I shall remain.

Maybe longer. What can I say, I'm slow. Nah, I knew you weren't being really mean. And so I can catch more flack for the speed at which I work I did make a bit more progress today. Those two are big filter caps for the PS (run in parallel) and they should match the menace aesthetic quite nicely. And before someone laments the lack of blue racing stripes on this chassis I am planning to paint this one prior to finishing the project so it seemed like a waste of time to protect a finish that was just going to get sanded down and replaced anyway.
