I can verify that even after a successful patch, you can continue to re-patch the drives after a reboot. The ONLY way (that I'm aware of) to functionally verify that the patch was successful is to use the SMART test (and even then, you can only really be certain when the test fails... you can...

Indeed it does. Just picked one up for my main rig. Thanks for the heads up.

The salient feature of that dump is the line "Bugcheck 109". Error code 0x109 is CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION; not too helpful on its own. Try testing your memory with memtest86+ and updating all drivers.

Check with any local colleges or universities--many of them operate their own internal recycling program. You might be able to snag an old system that way.

Indeed--I just bought 3 for a small NAS I'm putting together to house my MythTV setup. Not a bad deal at all for 3 2TB drives for $284 shipped. And as usual, the folks in Canada miss out...

Not sure if it's now at a lower price for good (doesn't list a sale end date), but they're at $94.99 as of a few minutes ago.

They are the Lovan Jazz 6" stands. Incredibly hefty for their size.

A small update with these new Tekton Design speakers. I absolutely ADORE them--perfect for my musical tastes and listening conditions.

It's a rack I made from Intermetro steel posts and shelves. You can find them here.

Bingo!

Pretty much. My choice of can depends on music genre, mood, how much noise there is around me (open vs. closed cans).

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770/80, Senn HD-650 and, Alessandro MS-2i.

Thought I would post an update since I've changed a few things. New speakers (Madisound Cygnet Mk. II kit), got a sub (AV123 X-sub, in front left corner of room), and trimmed down my equipment rack by getting rid of a few items.

Yep. I bought them. They came from GIK Acoustics--I can't recommend them enough. Glen and Bryan are fantastic guys to work with when planning out room treatments.

I just recently bought an AV123 x-sub. It doesn't ship until the 7th of December, though, so I can't tell you what I think of it just yet. However, it's gotten pretty decent reviews in the past.

Finally finished mounting all my acoustic treatment...

Yeah, I decided to hold off on a speaker upgrade until I got at least some treatments in my room. Now it's time to do some in-room auditioning to figure out where I'm going next.

Just got some acoustic treatment delivered today...

It's the LVM-37w3. Since I'm also using it as a PC monitor, I really wanted the added resolution of 1080p (the w2 is only 720p)--not to mention I got it for only $820 shipped.

I figured I would post an update now that I have some artwork on the walls and my bed lofted. The rest of the pictures (resize as well as originals) can be found here.

Yeah, I'm in the process of auditioning some nicer speakers. I still need to listen to a pair of AV123 x-ls and some Ascend C-170s. Really, though, I'm more of a headphone guy than a speaker guy...

Absolutely not. I'm going to be picking up a window AC in the next week or so.

I'm living this year in an on-campus fraternity house. It's a single, and a bit larger than anything I'd get in a dorm--not to mention much cheaper.

I'm just about finished moving into my new room. There are still some boxes laying around, but it's mostly setup. Enjoy. The rest of the pictures (as well as non-resized versions of the above) can be found here.

You want to hear DT play Muse? Listen to Prophets of War off of Systematic Chaos.

Is your Lite Dac-AH modded? I've always wanted to compare a Pacific Valve modded one to a stock one.

Yeah, these things definitely aren't light. They each way 28 lbs.

I don't have any problems with vibrations (I have some of that non-slide, rubbery-type matting under each speaker), though there is a noticeable hump centered around 100Hz from (I presume) resonance from the shelves. Since my computer is the only source I use, I fight the peak with EQ.

They were around $250 each about 3 years ago. They have since been discontinued. They are certainly a "fun" speaker, but nowhere near hi-fi. The Yamaha receiver was purchased from a garage sale 4 years ago for the bargain price of $15. :eek:

I thought I'd post an update since I'm back at my parents' house for the summer. The rest of the pictures can be seen here.

Hickish-- What speakers are you running? ...and where are they?

What desk is that? It looks like just what I want.
