Take the trash out bro..... Come on, brake from the stereotype, flee from the supression of our manhood.

Trash I'll take out. But when you're tired of picking up Dew can all over the house, a man has to stand his ground somewhere. I do enough cleaning up after the kids!

I hear ya. How is it for picking up toys? I've adopted a "Pick up or I throw out" rule for the kid's toys and such. You may have to toss a toy or two out, but it's worth it in the long run.

Bribing my nephews with a threat of no biscuits tends to do the trick.

Pneumonia, yay!!!

So I'm not the only one to do that?

I have thrown a few things, but fortunately they've all been toys from McDonalds or somewhere similar so I really didn't care, but they sure did!

And it is quite the motivator, too. 👍

I bought for my GF, she wanted a 13.3 laptop, dedicated graphics, which was thin and attractive. Did not leave me with much choice so I got this one. it is totall overkill for what she needs.

The cooling mod has been done to the GPU to stop it self destructing! (bad cooling/faulty GPU)

Fixed. Looks nice btw.

 

[PAPPACLART]

thansk, attaching the pick did not work for me. That is not the her actual one, I am collecting it on the 27th

 

[Dougboy]

Hawt! now post some pics using these.... also are you going to be running them indoors only or do you plan on having a power source for outdoor use as well?

Ordered these through a store(only elinchrom authorize dealer in canada) for $799. But I work small jobs for a small industrial graphics design company and its covered under "expenses"

They should be here friday. As for now, I only have plans to use them indoors. When the need arises, I'll consider a battery pack (can't afford one anyways) For now, speedlights and umbrellas will do for "portable" lightsource.

 

[nobuffalo]

$200, I hope it runs...

 

[ExigeEvan]

Why spend $200 on what could effectively be a lump of metal? You must have ahd some assurance off who you bought it from.

 

[nobuffalo]

Thats kind of the way it goes with buying used engines. I know where the guy lives and thats enough assurance for me. Saying I hope it runs was just a little joke.

 

[C-ZETA]

Well, that engine is a Toyota 1600 Twin-Cam 16 Valve, so chances are it will...

So I gave in to the ricer/love of music in me and I now own the following:

Look at the price!

My stock system has absolutely no bass, so this will help keep me from having to turn it up so loud that the doors rattle to get past the "headphones" sound.

 

[nk4e]

I hope you don't play the Honda Song now...or I will kill you. (joking joking...)

 

[Eric.]

I hope you don't play the Honda Song now...or I will kill you. (joking joking...)

With all of the bass in that song, he might just kill his sub before you have to worry about it.

 

[Perfect Balance]

I just love bass basically. Not the "beat" kind of bass, but basslines. I listen to a lot of drum and bass and some of them have sounds so low than my surround sound system in my room can barely handle them. In my car it's just not there whatsoever.

I'm going to set it up so I can pull the whole box out in a few minutes, that way when I want to go for a drive I can just pull it out so I won't have all that weight in the back. On my daily commute to work though, things aren't as exciting, so this will help.

Already have it.

EDIT: Although I was thinking more along the lines of:



Forward to 1:45 and wait for it.

 

[nk4e]

Probably I am thinking of deeper bass.. but not a bad track 👍

Thinking of a deeper bass? It doesn't get much deeper than that. Maybe your speakers aren't picking it up?


I've got the DJ Shadow song though, that's a good one as well.

 

[nk4e]

I have some bass test songs that was used for those kinds of competitions.

 

[Keef]

Dude you're such a riiiiccceeerrrr!!!

No, actually, it does get pretty boring. Gotta have music, not matter what anyone says. I've already tried the "straight pipe is all the music I need" thing. It got old real quick.
