Select things....cause Froot Loops!

I was talking to Dave at work about things we do after work that keep us away from just watching television or something we want to do.... dang but he beat me out.... I don't know how he does it. I'm exhausted myself but its a different exhaustion .. Today I came home... sanded and re spray painted ( in the wind ) my tagged post box. Then while waiting for it to dry I chopped down some saplings that were growing through some pavers and pulled some weeds... not nearly enough but I am sore.  After that I came in cleaned up and turned on the computer... had the darn video card drive go nuts.. had to download that three times before it worked. Then found my wired net link was not working.... so had to find that driver... guess what.. that was very hard. But its loaded. So thats all done.. the computer is sleeping.. I am on the laptop working on this blog.. sooooo.... Here are some things I use in and around me.....

Lacie hard drive.. 1tb.. I cannot believe this think is still working.

Looks pretty nice huh!. See that bottom left corner....

It fell from about 4 feet to the tile floor... clang!

WORKS FINE LAST LONG TIME!!!

Still working.. really.. thats where these pictures are coming from.

Very expensive. but for detail... its excellent.

Blue glow keyboard from Xoxide... you already have that link.. but here you go...

Its nice but a little compact..

LEDs lights and such from Xoxide too... man I love that site.

Name of my number 1 computer.

That fan spins the name around then gives you the temp reading of the air passing through it.

Pioneer sounds system.... way semi old but still rocks...Its in analog because it is connected to the computer... it has a link to my xbox also. The remote can also control the xbox.

The computers are primarily connected to Bose speakers. Silver for 1, Black for 2. These are also super old but still working just fine. Surprisingly most everything I have equipment wise is way old. Why replace working stuff... I guess I would be slammed by some manufacturers cause I don't upgrade enough.. LOL.. bummer! It works. It stays!

As I am seriously into music as well as Balloons, Computers.. and and and... well.. crappy sounds.. are.. crappy.

External drives..  too many different drives over too many years to list them.

That all is your choice.

Top corner view of the box. as big a pain in the ass to keep clean... they are still awesome.. and 54.00 dollars.. same site.. Xoxide!!!

Cold Cathode!.... Means absolutely nothing to the running of the computer... just cool lights.

Hope you like the shots... was fun taking the shots of this goofy stuff. Different than tone mapped pictures... but I love the Tone Mapping.... so off I go...

Enjoy the links in the blog... I think every company is great and worth spending money at... What I am saying is.... if your going to spend money.. you cant spend it in any better places than these sites.. well Amazon is cool too..

Go build a computer... Or ask me and I will do it for ya.

Remember that the computers you buy that are prebuilt are always cutting a corner here or there to get that low price... you want performance.. or memory or ram.... it all ups the price... 

The nice thing about a self built is when age does creep up on a part be it CPU.. motherboard  ram... video card...  you can update it without replacing the whole dang thing....  Easier to spend 100 dollars than 800 everytime...

Have a great and enjoyable evening!

LOL.. TONE MAPPED!
