What's that framed Star Wars poster on the wall, where did you get it, and can you take a picture of it? Sorry about the abruptness, but when it comes to Star Wars, there are no time for pleasantries.

Pleasant will you be, abrubtness, to the darkside it leads 😉

I've bought it at a local comic shop in Belgium.


here's a picture from google

mine's an original from 1985, but they made reprints of it during the nineties, which you can buy e.g. here: http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/1022693/-/Product.html?Cur=257&P36=5EWCZY



As for the iPods:
"only" four of them actually work

the 4gen, ipod mini and the 5gen ipod 30gb are relics of the past..

At first it looked really comfortable but then once I saw the back support... it doesn't look all that padded, but now that I see how thick it is from the two eye kind of slots where your kneck will be. It's quite deceiving. Looks wild!

I love how it looks like you can tuck yourself right in, like NASA style or something.

Thanks

Its not bad there is a wood on one side and a view over the houses into the distance the other.

Yea i love that setup so nice and clean looks really nice. Also nice mixture between Mac and PC.
Click to expand...

Yeah I like using both , I would switch full time to a mac, but I can't justify the cost of a mac pro. And I need to support windows machines so it's easier to have a pc. One day I may get a mac pro and go for it, but not any time soon.

What drive/enclosure is that? I'm looking for that exact same thing so I can Raid 1 two 500gb drives!
Click to expand...

Its a Proavio dvBox Pro it matches the mac mini very nicely, it takes two ide drives and uses firewire 800, great little thing, but noisy if you leave the fans in, I removed them in mine. More info here on my website: http://www.gordyhand.co.uk/dvbox.htm . There are other versions of it and you can raid two drives together or as I've done treat them as separate disks.

The backs quite well padded it just looks like it isn't , the harness slots are in an area where nothing touches the seat at my neck so I don't have a problem with them. Its great for forcing me to sit properly as I used sit in a terrible position hehe.

i think that's a DROBO (www.drobo.com)

Nope that's my pc.

LeviG said:
Um the black thing is the itx system which is in a Hoojum cubit 3 🙂

The silver g5/mac pro looking box is the hard drive enclosure
Click to expand...

You are correct! 🙂

More pics of it here: http://gordyhand.co.uk/gallery/v/casemodding/picopc/ but as its matt black its a nightmare to photograph well. Particularly next to silver and light things.
 
nice setup, very clean, very nice combo of mac and pc.

where did you get that desk?

and is that an mx revolution? how do you like it?

I made the desk myself so it fits my needs. Its massive and hides all the nasty cables.

Yeah its the mx rev. Its very comfy tho the logitech drivers are a joke. I had the mx1000 before and its just as good and better supported. I'd think long and hard before buying another logitech product after seeing the vista drivers .

Heh, yeah the MX1000 was great. It feels like a brick now after being so use to the MX Revolution. The MX1000 gives me wrist problems now 😵, it never use to. Perhaps its because the MX Revolution is so incredibly light.

Love the Focus project. http://gordyhand.co.uk/gallery/v/casemodding/focus/DSC00561.jpg.html

Yeah I was the same, it is just to heavy now. Its sat on the shelf looking very sad.

Thanks the focus still is one of my favourite modding jobs I've done. It now sit on the glass shelf under my tv and never ceases to get people asking what it is. They are nearly always surprised when I say a computer 😀
