Where are you getting the 250 number for pico power? Only the Pico Slim had the limited lifetime warranty for the first 250...

Quote:   Are you thinking of the Pico Slim? This thread is for the Pico Power.

Quote:   ...and others are allowed to point it out ;)

Even if a commercial version of the DIY T2 was made, the price required to make it viable would simply price it out of existence :p

Quote:   It looks like they've rolled the "own it" part into the review process. They have a spot to put your purchase date and price when you click the "review it" link.

I've enjoyed my Pico for quite some time now, it's nice to see the measurements confirm what I suspected...that it performs well :) I do hope that Tyll gets a chance to measure the Pico Power. I think I actually prefer it's sound to the Pico.

Quote: Yup, I saw that. The Powerex Imedion are also low self-discharge but I haven't gotten mine and on general principles I don't like recommending something that I haven't used.

You don't have to fully drain NimH before charging, for the most part that's a leftover myth from NiCd batteries. There are also low self-discharge NimH batteries which store well.

Quote:   I was never too worried about it working or not, just wondered if the components tolerated the extra bit of voltage. Unlikely but I'd feel safer knowing that :p

Mine was waiting for me when I got home. Thanks Justin :)

Yeah, I remember building my first watercooling system with a swiftech block and a heater core. Those were fun times with the 300A.   For what it's worth, the folks that don't know the difference between a custom wc rig and an all in one probably wouldn't benefit all that much from the...

I'm fairly close by so hopefully I should be receiving mine soon. I'll report when I get it :p

Quote: http://michaelbluejay.com/batteries/9v.html has a pretty good chart of the different NiMH and Lithium rechargeable 9v batteries.   Generally speaking Lithium batteries aren't worth the hassle unless you absolutely need the extra capacity/current.

Quote:   Thanks Justin! I'm really glad I got in on the preorder, I really enjoyed the demo unit when I listened to it.

Those are the same ones I've been looking at buying. I have that same charger somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If Justin confirms 9.6 is fine I'll probably buy the same setup you have right there :p Quote:

Quote: Sure, in absolute terms a custom loop will perform better but the H100 compares well especially for the price.       Tangster: you're right, I totally missed the fact he was talking about cooling his gfx card.   As for looks yeah, a custom setup looks much nicer but maybe...

Quote: It's still water cooling! The H100 series competes very well with custom water cooling, so I don't see the need to belittle commercial offerings like that :p

Quote:   Agreed, $6 is a lot for a 9v. You can easily get some from Amazon.com for about $1-2 each in packs of 1-2, or even cheaper if you get a larger pack.   That being said Justin, is the Pico Power tolerant of 9.6v? I'm probably going to go with a rechargeable set and I'm trying...

Quote:   But is it really so absurd that two days have gone without a status update after a snowstorm?

Quote: That is exactly how I read it as well

Quote:   I wasn't able to find the Mcintosh headphone amp, but the other brands seem to be primarily speaker preamps that just added a headphone jack to. They really don't look like a purpose built headphone amp which this Mal Ware (lol) amp is supposed to be. You say no need to unplug...

What other amps do that? To me it doesn't seem ergonomic.at all.

Quote:   Not applicable. Those are actual connectors, whereas the specs that matter are for the material that is being used as a cover. Neutrik doesn't provide that since it's not designed as a HV interface material.         I guess it makes as much sense as having a...

Yeah, that tells you what the plate should be made of, but Justin is still correct when he says there's no HV specs for the plate. Quote:
