I'd imagine that most people only know of it as the bird, not some foul word.
Gee I'm the twisted mind then Just searched the web and discovered there are tons of references for that word, even quite a few product brands using the bird as the brand logo. I'm amazed at my own vocabulary ignorance. "Kookaburra cricket bats", gee my evil self is laughing out hard just thinking about it...
To be fair, the expression I was thinking of in Spanish has a different spelling, and has two words which I rather not write. But I'm pretty sure many Spanish speakers reading that very same spelling, "kookaburra", would think of what I'm thinking of. For sure anyone in my country would, plus anyone from a few other countries in Latin America.
Someone at Twisted Pear Audio has to be really twisted to name a component "kookaburra." That's a seriously bad-mouth sounding word in some Spanish speaking countries.

Well now you've made me curious about this mysterious foul-mouthed expression.

Ok, well let me try to give you a hint: "Burra" is a female dunkey in Spanish -exact spelling. That other part, "kooka" is the one that doesn't match the spelling of the other word in Spanish, but sounds very much the same. That other word I can't translate without gettting in trouble though I hope you get the gist of this poor translation.
I envy you guys who have the place to work on external cases. The place that i'm living in right now does not have this kind of privilege. I feel so sorry every time i saw my naked amps.
Anyway, why is the legs of the film cap on your pimeta on the ground channel so long? XD
Before purchasing anything else, the first task in DIY is to clear the area and claim you own personalized custom work/living space. Sometimes, one must run off the silly rule-laden undesriables to accomplish this. All the toys, parts, tools and gadgets follow.
That is really cool! Did you have any instructions or anything to build that, or did you pretty much set it up on your own? I'm handy with a computer, and that might be a good idea, although I might prefer a regular External HD stack. How was the price on that?

Adjusted independently. Instructions I shall write in the future. The price has made: MB 110 $ + CPU 90 $ + RAM 20 $ + CASE 50 $ + HDD $90 *4 + USBFLASH 20 $ = Total 650 $. For comparison BlueRay player at us costs 1000 $ and disks on 50 $
