So I got a couple of these usb missile launchers off Woot! a few weeks ago. They are pretty neat so long as you disable the lame SFX, toss a webcam ontop and remote desktop in and screw with someone baaaaad. I have one of these in my shared office at work, it’s scares the hell out of people when something shoots at them for no appearnt reason…
The one on the right is my old, the new on the left is the new one my GF got me. Bigger is better.
So I’ve been adding and maintaining this uber rack for a few years, the other day I snagged a Dell 2161DS IP KVM with 8 SIP’s for a mere $300. It’s the device directly under the monitor.
Other cool things in the rack:
Next additions will be an rackmount KMM (Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse) that will take a 10th of the space the current monitor does. An APC Environmental Monitor, and a Terminal Server for all the out of band management.
The rack itself is an IBM NetBay11, decommissioned from the ever so unpopular Lycos Search Engine
Me and Brian put a flashpaper gun together a few weeks ago, it’s shoots fireballs a few feet.
So I picked up this wallmount rack a bit ago and finally threw it up there, it came with a bunch of patch panels filled with keystone jacks that will be installed throughout the house–since I already have a patch panel… To the right is a Netbotz Wallbotz 300B to send me emails about the garage being 112 degrees….Florida fails.
So I just got a JVC RX-D301 7.1 Receiver off woot a few days ago for like ~$105
So far I’m impressed–it outperforms the Sony receiver we have that is 3x the size and about a year and a half old. I’ve only got 5 speakers hooked up so far but hell there isn’t any 7.1 dvds yet anyway…cool feature is a little usb soundcard it comes with to send audio from a computer to it wirelessly, l33t. Also has a USB-B jack on the front to plug it directly into a computer to work as a soundcard
Front L/F and Surround L/F Speakers are Cambridge SoundWorks THX something or other.
Center is some POS Panasonic I took off my brother’s 5.1 system
I picked up rockband the other day for my 360, I had a bunch of gamestop gift cards and some amex ones too. Paid like $12 out of pocket. It’s fun so far but $2 a song to download additional is a bit much. I’ll probably only play it for another week before I get bored of it…
Step 1: Load your SD card with lots ‘o pictures
Step 2: Proceed to your nearest BestBuy
Step 3: Find a photo printer that has paper (or load it yourself) and insert your SD card
Step 4: Print, Print, Print.
Step 5: Put some of your newly printed pictures into their display to help show off the quality of the printers
