Well the motherboard on my desktop finally fried after 6 years of duty, the last year of which it was on HTPC duty. I upgraded the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. I'm using the HD3300 integrated video on the motherboard because I don't game and just need it to ouput 1080p video. Here's hoping it'll...

right now I'm running a 2.2ghz macbook pro with 4gb ram as my main computer (I'm in college, not enough room for a desktop). my desktop that I keep at home is a few years old, but here's the specs anyways: 2.8ghz prescott @ 3.5ghz 120mm zalman heatsink with AS5 abit aa8xe motherboard...

I occasionally get paid for the my work, so I know what its like to have a deadline. but no, I'm not a student nor do I consider myself a professional in any way.

the x51v is the best pda IMO. I used to have one, but sold it when I didn't need it anymore. it also has pretty damn good SQ

wow, there are some great pics in this thread! rather than posting some of my pictures, I'll just give a link to my gallery at picasasweb, though I'm hoping to open my own site soon to host my pictures. www.picasaweb.google.com/jonnevel

well this morning I went to a shop close to my house that just happened to have the rp-21s. I tried them out on my ipod, liked them, and bought them. when I brought them home I tried them out on my macbook pro. WOW, these things are incredible. my music sounds so much better, so much more...

Nightwish - Once and Wishmaster Kamelot - Karma, Epica, Black Halo, Ghost Opera two of my favorite metal bands ever.

thanks for the responses guys. I looked at the rp-21s, they actually look really nice; I read the review of them here on headfi. plus they only cost $99 from amazon. the dt660s unfortunately are a bit out of my price range. I was only about to find them for about $170 on pricegrabber.com.

I'll be heading up to college in a few weeks, and I've been thinking that I finally need to get some closed headphones for listening in my dorm. the source is going to be either my macbook pro or my ipod nano 2g (usually the mbp). for now at least, I won't be using an amp. I listen mainly to...

you can get a new rebel xt (NOT xti) for about $500... then get a 17-55 f/2.8

bleh... I only finish june 15th. almost everyone is out by then. I can't wait to finally be done with high school, it's such a waste of time.

I bought a 2g black ipod nano yesterday. still debating whether or not I like it enough to keep it...

that's like asking what car to buy for driving... what music do you listen to, what's your budget, are you using an amp/dac, etc?

next year I'll be in cal poly in san luis obispo.

bah.. that's what I was afraid of, that closed headphones would sound a lot worse than open ones like grados. maybe I'll just end up getting the sr60's and deal with loud people around me... at least when it's quiet I'll be a lot happier than I would be otherwise
