I just couldn't help myself. I guess I'm never satisfied. There's always room for improvement, right? A while back, I posted about a mod that incorporated a detachable microphone on a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones. The mod went better than expected, and the end result looked very good. From...

I know a thing or two about Shuttles, currently owning a SN25P and SN26P. The latter of which is running two nVidia 7800GTX's in SLI. Noise has never been an issue, and I get acceptable temps. As far as the onboard sound goes, it's merely passable at best. Although, IMO, all onboard...

Wow, thanks for the kind words everyone! Computers are my true passion, and I've always enjoyed modding them. I thought to myself, why should audio be any different?
