    Irish Meet! Saturday 22nd March 2008 Dublin

    Just to let you all know that I'm not dead It looks very unlikely that I will be able to make it to the meet but perhaps if this one goes well we can have another.

    Best Windows OS for my 900mhz processor?

    Win2k sounds good but try fluxbuntu first, runs very well on an old 300Mhz K6 with 128MB of RAM that I use. Just out of interest where can you get win2k install media/licence?

    If your current DAP broke down, what brand would you choose?

    Trekstor (BTW Why don't you use the poll feature?)

    Laptop recomendations

    Asus is a great brand of notebook, some of their laptops include a SPDIF port for better sound than the hp out.

    Best cell phone for quality and storage and small form factor

    Nokia 5300, durable, compact, good sounding phone and has a micro SD card for storage (potentially 8GB). My sister has this phone and the abuse it takes makes me cringe, it is very durable and comes with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor for using better headphones.

    Building my first Cmoy amp

    In his headwize article appendix (A2) Chu has a circuit for an adjustable gain which you could copy with DPDT switch and extra resistors. Gains of 3 and 6 would seem about right to run most headphones.

    OPA551 / BUF 634 - SOIC-8: State of emergency in germany ;)

    Farnell have both, they have a .de site so you can avoid import duties and have cheaper, faster shipping.

    Placebo effects?

    No, not unless you really believe it will happen, the placebo effect is due to the earnest expectation of a change rather than what you try to convince yourself of. I don't think your question was well put, it comes across as borderline trolling.

    RC Nitro

    ^^ Very nice, if you are going to buy any more get a Ripmax catalogue as they have some very nice ready-to-race shells and can be ordered via these shops. The painting shells isn't overly difficult, but it is strange painting the top coat first and then the base colour.

    RC Nitro

    Very nice, are you painting the shell yourself? If you are I recommend Faskolor paints; water based, ready to spray straight out of the bottle, makes my airbrush a lot easier to clean than with enamels/thinned acrylics. Quote: Originally Posted by RedLeader $2600? o_O...

    RS components carry the BUF634 but it's out of stock, the DIL model is available at futurlec.com if your desperate. I would check on TI's website for other European suppliers (search by part number, find the one you want and click "purchase samples")
