According to that, it says that Joe doesn't have a "total," does that mean that he isn't getting one?
Also, THIS SONG IS AMAZING!
Any other songs/Artists like this I should grab?
What is having its birthday celebration, which means I can get 10 new albums right now for free... WHAT SHOULD I GET???

No Flash, can't see the songs.
And I dunno what you like, but when in doubt, try Cynic (both Focus and Traced In Air), Ephel Duath (The Painter's Palette), Ministry (The Land Of Rape And Honey, Psalm 69), Electric Wizard (anything, especially Dopethrone), Venetian Snares (Rossz csillag alatt született) or Einstürzende Neubauten (Haus der Lüge, Silence Is Sexy, Kollaps if you want something less standard). There's a huge chance that you'll like neither of them, but hey, it's freeleach...

Before I'd study japanese I'd have to study chinese first. It wouldn't make sense to me to master a different language first, when I'm culturally and genetically linked to a different one I can't even read/write yet. But no where near enough time for that. It'll be a post-gradschool-enter real life type of thing.
I don't see what's wrong with it. Besides you just have to learn the how to read each kanji in both Chinese and Japanese while learning.
Well I guess if I had a program that can open your files it would make it easier but alas I do not.
Engineers don't do that much hands on work. Technicians do.
Better change your studies now if you don't want to find out the hard way like me.
Might vary depending on the field of engineering but it's usually design/research not so much putting your hands at the task. Go ask around first to make sure.

Just did some work. Based on the approximate measurements for the PCBs Boris gave me and assuming that the stainless steel is 1.9mm thick, the case is 173.8mm deep, 187.6mm wide, and 53.8mm tall. Some screenshots in Google Sketchup.
I color coded the PCBs. Blue = HDAC, Green = O2, White = Controller, and Pale Yellow = Volume. I still need to move the volume board around but this is just an approximate. No screw holes for the top part yet.
Edit: File attached.

Also, why not aluminum? It's lighter and cheaper. Vintage electronics aren't redonculously heavy for no reason.

Boris, here's a friendly advice from someone in the last year of an engineering program:
Engineers don't do that much hands on work. Technicians do.
Better change your studies now if you don't want to find out the hard way like me.

Drat he said practical. As they say, engineers and their bad language skills

No idea why American Football is even "football" since they're hardly ever touching the ball with their feet.

It's a stupid name.
I thought we weren't stacking.
Didn't check the price of aluminum. I just assumed it was more expensive. Need to redo everything now.

I did read through all the posts but don't recall anything about not stacking.
It's definitely easier to design for non-stacking boards but it'll also take up considerable amount of space.
As long as space heating allows, compressing the design would probably be ideal.
For that, need to ask Boris to see which component tends to heat up more, and if significantly. In which case we'd need vents for passive cooling.

We already established earlier that we're not doing a custom case anyway. Haibu's just making it for fun :p

Hm...well, I want to do stacking too, but Boris said he's using 10mm standoffs, and I don't know if I can shorten them or not, or if I need to also to 10mm if I stack PCBs, so I will have two 10mm standoffs stacked on top of each other with a PCB in between. The only PCB I can stack without making the case a lot higher would be the controller board.

@Borisu
Umm not really, China's to the top but its all land. HK is pretty close to the sea.
Those cases look nice, just no...pink please >_<
How did you think Asians were going to pronounce it?
Can you layer it? Controller pcb up top?
Those are some huge capacitators. why does a DAC need such capacitators?
I don't mind what case we have but anime thread case would be sweet
@Manveru
That looks more like a HDD enclosure
One has to remember that the Project H unit with all its PCB sizes combined is acutally larger than many desktop combo units out there 
Nice looking setup :) Now...ideas for what to put in that empty space to the left of the controller :)?
Dude...ONE TIME....ONE TIME WITH THE 192KHz!!...come on!! I didn't say that either! I only told mechy that if Haiburi drops, I was going to need to find a dude to fill it.
@haiburi
its funny that you keep using ODAC...its the HDAC..you know...the HAIBUNYAN DIGITAL ANALOG CONVERTER ಠ_ಠ
That is WAY TOO MUCH nutella. I don't think I like it... I don't know. Bring me some nutella :)
@evetan
I usually say a bit more forgiving with neutralnesss.a...;..although some recordings are just butt awful or have distortion and noise in them. For example, the famous song from bakmonogatari in Today is a Beautiful Day has a bit of noise and distortion
@Everyone
What is the name of the Guilty Crown OST I should get?
@Jgray
YES!! THANKS. UE900!
Come join our garden of Apple-ness
@Rikkun
Why you such a genius at Japanese? How is it going?
Sometimes I just sit back and let GG troll me because its just so much more amusing.
@Kalbee
Basically I'm looking at engineering but a technician hobby at home. Using the stuff I learned about electronics and computers to further my trolling skills and being able to build even more awesome stuff
@mechy
Our reservation slots have filled up A LONG TIME AGO.....honestly
No, you need a much more powerful one. The WAU12-1000 is what Borisu has in mind.
All ten spots are filled. The only people have haven't sent in payment are Graph and Haiburi *stares at them* but Graph is going to get payment in soon.....And haiburis is still WIDE OPEN.... *cough cough*
I didn't say there was one spot. I said that if Haiburi drops out cause it sounded like he might, I was going to have to find another person to auction the spot off to.

Yes, an anime thread case would be pretty awesome.
Sorry, I thought there was one since you said that Boris needed funds for Project H...
Welp, if there is a spot that opens up I'll probably take it...

Actually it was several times with the 192kHz, even after you'd been corrected multiple times. Also almost half the things you type are hard to understand or even senseless just in general. Type slower! Proofread before you post!
