Here are the pictures of my new Portable Rig. (Also Posted Here) It sounds really nice (and will only get better with time as the caps and amp burn in).





Custom Wheel Coverz from iFrogs.com (image is copyrighted)

The rig consists of:
80gb RWA 5.5G iMod iPod Rockbox'd in a PowerSupportUSA Illusion Case and Custom Wheel Coverz from iFrogs.com (image is copyrighted);
ALO iMod Jumbo Cryo Au/Ag Line Out Dock Cable; Minibox E+; Shure e500s; and a custom iMod/Amplifier silicon band, with a set of Black Sumajin Sportwraps.

I bought the 5.5G iPod brand new in a sealed box from a really nice guy on eBay, who had several more (and I hooked up Ken (ALO) with him and Ken was able to get more iMods to sell...the NEW (not refurbished) White iMods he had available). Once again Vinnie was AWESOME and helped me out.

Ken made me a REALLY nice iMod LOD.

The theme is the Cabbie Default.

I may spring for a Samsung Hard Drive down the road as they are already maiking a 120GB drive and supposedly a 160Gb drive as well that can be rockbox'd according to the Rockbox website.

This replaces my 4G iMod rig (pictures of which you can find here:Original Posting - 11/26/2006 - Updated Posting - 02/06/2007) which I am keeping as a backup and maybe as a desktop rig or something.

Portability is so much better with the new rig (Its a lot lighter and less bulky) and makes for my commute on Metro North and in the City so much nicer.
