rolla, you still using those hd555's?

I7 is a beast! Unfortunately the computer sitting in my room is still running on 900 mhz... pretty sad, but i never use it.

o yea...l i remember that thread. we were talking about MovieSTAR's bunny ears and toilet paper

The recaro used to be my passenger seat in my car but I put the stock one back in. I actually want to buy a ergonomic mesh office chairs. Car seats really sucks for PC typing/writing ergonomics.

@wasabi.. I like how this computer can do everything. I had the PC I built in HS (600MHz PIII w/ 128MB RAM and win98SE) up until 2yrs ago when it died. Then the laptop became my primary computer but it lags just watching HULU and I can't even watch vids in HD... then the hinge broke.

No. I sold them almost 2 weeks after I got them brand new. I got infected with upgraditis. I compared the HD650's to the HD555's when I got them and I have to say I can't go back. Being an audiophile makes my wallet sad. lol

I thought I'd share this. It's not my setup obviously. It's another member's setup from my other forum. It's just crazy.

And that's just a pic showing half of it.

ive been thinking about building my own desk this summer (crazy i know) I want it to stretch the length of that wall, and bend with th ecurve. so its all 1 height and just 1 desk. I have no idea where to start, can someone hook me up with some carpentry help?

Did I hear computer desk?

holy what the fuck?!

How's that for a desk/containment unit? lol

Here's a pic of the room from another angle including a lot more.

It's not a room anymore per se. It's a personal studio with sound control.

i hate the colors

I'm thinking the lights probably strobe/flash and change colours like a discotech. lol

@MovieStar, what kind of case is that? It just occured to me the computer I am helping a friend repair has the exact same case.

It's just ambient light. It can any color you choose. If were up to me, it would be a warm white, just like what movie theaters run.

Cooler master elite.

its the mid-tower version of the cooler master centurion. which i also have.

LOL That's what extreme audiophiles do. I'm heading down that route sooner or later as well.

Yes. Very true. The motto at the Head-fi forum is: "Welcome to Head-fi! Sorry about your wallet."

In what format? All my music is in FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, AAC 320 VBR, and MP3 320 CBR in that order. I won't listen to anything less. I'm still not really considered a hardcore audiophile yet.

My work PCs: (2 laptops and 1 desktop)


My home PC: (custom watercooled)

^^Clean much?

Sorry to revive a dead thread....Jspex, how did you make the car seat into a chair? Did you just use the base from a regular desk chair and make brackets to fit the seat?

That's the idea. Pretty easy actually.
