deepak Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Drobo picture Caviar Green WD15EADS 1.5TB SATA II 7200 RPM 32MB The price went up 3 dollars per drive after I bought them Storage Capacity 4TB Maximum Is the Drobo still 4 TB max?
aardvark baguette Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Nope. Limited only by hard drive technology; you can have a 16TB volume, its just that no one makes 4TB drives yet. I didnt get the 2TB drives because, for the money, I'd be better off getting another Drobo. edit: this isnt meant to expand my current Drobo; its for off site backup at work
Hopstretch Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Cheap laser printer for wife's home office. $180 MSRP - $80 weekly special - $50 recycling bonus with presentation of long-dead inkjet I dug out of a moving box = $50. Fuckers will make it all back in toner, of course.
Augsburger Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Peter Michael Les Pavot for deep storage. Should resurface in 2012.
cetoole Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 it's better than decent, if you like bourbon. Seems that I do, as this stuff is just superb. Maybe my favorite bourbon yet (of a very small sample).
The Monkey Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 it's better than decent, if you like bourbon. I like bourbon, and didn't like the Elmer T. at first. Didn't stop me from drinking it. And I'd buy it again. Punk.
aardvark baguette Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 One of these This came in today at the office. About 24 hours after ordering. Not bad for free shipping
Knuckledragger Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Konica Minolta DiMage Z1. Whaaat? WTF do I want with an ancient 3.2MP point & shoot digital camera? I must be nuts. Well, yes, but... the Z1 is old enough that it doesn't have a very good IR filter, so it's very sensitive to that spectrum. With deep red filter in front of it, it makes an excellent infrared camera. There are resellers that offer "IR modded" cameras on eBay for exorbitant sums and sites that give instructions on how to DIY mod cameras for IR purposes, but I'm looking neither to be price gouged nor take apart anything as fiddly as a consumer digicam. I got this new old stock Z1 for $76 shipped, which is about what a decent circular polarizer for my 17-40mm L zoom costs. As a bonus the Z1 is old enough that it uses full sized Compact Flash cards, meaning it can share with my 30D.
csroc Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I've never heard of the Z1 being used for IR photography but that's interesting. I know the Canon G1 was popular for that. I got a new video card recently. EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 55nm superclocked
Dusty Chalk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Sony Walkman? Current model? Which one? Still: over-rated -- I went through a lot of trouble finding one several years ago (when I was still on head-fi)...now I'm all about the ESW-10. ESW-10 + iPod + impedance matching ==
The Monkey Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Sony Walkman? Current model? Which one? No, old model. D-EJ985. Still: over-rated -- Wrong. D-EJ985 + ECD-1 = Good. Well, good enough for the meet tomorrow at least...I really need a iMacLapBook or whatever the hell they're called these days. USB does not play nice with my DACs since I parted with the Pico.

Salt Peanuts Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen in Gunmetal Gray with fine nib Also the 32oz version of Teavana Perfect Tea Maker
Salt Peanuts Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 do those fancy schmancy tea makers work better than a plain ol' tea pot? Dunno, but I'll let you know. I mostly bought one since I don't have a big enough tea pot with an infuser (or anything to catch the loose leaf) and it'll also be convenient for work.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I just use a drop-in infuser in a mug, especially when I'm trying a variety of different teas -- I don't want more than one cup in those cases. I use the SwissGold one, the 200, not the 300. And an electric kettle to boil the water. And if more than one cup, then a larger infuser and a teapot. I tried the ingenuiTea from Adagio Teas (which is a similar item to the above), but I didn't like the way the lid wouldn't come off to throw it in the dishwasher (supposedly it does, but I couldn't figure it out without worrying about breaking it).
