HP Proliant Microserver. Currently on offer w/£100 cashback from HP in the UK, so it can be had for about £120. A 4 bay enclosure, but there is space in the optical bay for two more 3.5" drives using a caddy, the SATA connecter for the optical drive, using the external eSATA with an eSATA to SATA cable back into the case, and a Molex to 2 SATA power adapter cable. The BIOS needs to be flashed with a modified one in order for the extra 2 drives to run at full SATA speeds, but I can follow the instructions easily enough. Also bought another 1GB of DDR3 ECC RAM for it (from someone selling their 1GB stick that came with the same server) and all I need are
a) 6 x Samsung F4 EG 2TB drives
b) an UnRAID Plus license
 
UnRAID will use one drive for parity and the rest storage, so I should have around 10TB of usable storage and a fairly low power solution to storing all my ALAC CD rips and a few DVDs, given with UnRAID you typically only have one drive active at a time. In future depending on the noise, I may purchase a different rear fan and get a Pico PSU, although I suspect at stock it won't be too distracting hidden away in my room.

Just got my new speakers!
M-Audio BX5a Deluxe:


So now I'm done with audio for awhile, I've spent enough.
Current setup. Optical out from mobo -> Maverick Audio Tube Magic D1 -> M-Audio BX5a or Sennheiser 595.
I'm quite pleased.

I'll get some pictures of my setup once it's all done.

^ Nice, I wanted one but couldn't get one over here. The PRS-650 is doing good though.
 
Enjoy!

I got an Allison AL10 subwoofer from PE today and today I ordered the Tritrix speaker kit! Looking to getting into my first DIY project

Thanks! I was considering the PRS-350 as well, but it would have cost an extra $30 or so. I'm happy with this Nook though, so it all worked out in the end.

New phone, my HTC Incredible screen smashed after surfing when i grabbed my  sweatshirt- out of the pocket and on to a dirt and gravel shoulder above the beach.  So upgraded to the Thunderbolt.  Hope it is an upgrade, it was a bit pricey.

 

[grokit]

What part of it were you hoping would be an upgrade? The browser, DAP, camera, navigation or do you actually make calls on that?

 

[dallan]

The browser speed mainly but it has a bigger screen too.  The replacement for the broken one was already a hundred bucks just for the original incred with old battery due to insurance so i just decided to plunge to the latest since the incred is a year and a half old or so.  They do have an incredible 2 but not on the upgraded network.

I'm so excited!  I love fishing.
 

 
I'm in the process of installing flush mount rod holders.  Already got one it, now for the second.

Finished up home theater 2.0 upgrade a few weeks ago and bought (on sale)
 
Outlaw LFM-1 EX
 
Best bang for your buck sub on the market.  This thing pressurizes my room
 
16Hz-180Hz +/- 2dB
SPL 118dB
80lbs
"only" 350 watts RMS (peak 1300 watts) as it doesn't need that much power due to the sheer size (see photo below).  It doubles as a night stand but I have since moved it to the front of the room.
 

 
 
 
 
Here it is next to my old 10" sub...makes it look so tiny haha

I recently bought the Tritrix speaker kit from Parts Express and have been working on it the past few days. Already have the cabinets and crossovers built in just 2 days!
