Personally, I would recommend one of these if price wasn't too much of an issue: ThinkPad Travel UltraNav USB Keyboard. Its basically the same keyboards found on ThinkPads, but in an external enclosure. They are probably the best slim keyboards that you'll find, and if you look on eBay you...

Lenovo ThinkPad T61p 15.4" 16:10 Intel C2D T9300 2.50GHz Nvidia Quadro FX 570M 256MB Corsair 4GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 250GB 5400RPM connected to a Dell E228W 22" LCD.

some might say that the IPS screen alone is worth the trade, although I would have to agree that you are taking an impact in the computing power department. personally I wouldn't have done it, and would rather stick with the T61.

I think the D1 on the board would indicate that it's diode rather than a resistor. Do you have a DMM? If so you can just check to see if it is infact a resistor by checking the resistance.

I've had excellent experiences with API products over the years, products such as Sound Dynamics 300ti's (which were well known for the excellent sonics emanating from rather plain/boring looking boxes), the famous Energy 22.2's (which were wonderful) and now a pair of Energy C-300's. They're...

Wrong section. Post it in the For Sale threads.

The amplifier only has one channel on it, so the only way to have a stereo setup would be to buy 2 of those, or to build another replica of it.

As a note for BMWs (if you're considering one), you won't be able to buy one brand new from the States. It's against the dealerships' policy with BMW NA. However, you may buy a used model from south of the border, although I believe it's without financing or leasing. BMW warranty would still...

There must be a bigger soldering point for the iPod Photo/Colour than just the resistor pads... I'm thinking something along the line of a pad for a capacitor, which should probably be larger than the pads on those resistors.

I believe Todd the Vinyl Junkie accepts PayPal. What headphone are you looking to purchase?

I felt that from my (relatively short) auditioning time at an audio store, that the SR-325i is a much more refined version of the SR-60, and that I really liked the SR-325i. The SR-225 however was completely different to me in terms of sound signature. Sounded very neutral, and to me was a...
