Send it on over, I'd like being a little more humble myself. Very nice rig, dread. Love the lava accent too. :thmbsp:

Thanks, All this is really a direct result of hanging around here (I used to just have an iPod, imagine that...)

Big Vandies!! Mwahahah...
Lol, a lot of us started with low end systems. I like the JBLs, I have some big JBLs myself. :thmbsp:
I really like your setup! Has a nice mojo to it.

I have a pretty modest setup, a Technics SL-1210 MK2 (with upgrades) running through Pioneer SX-980 to a pair of Heathkit AS-10 loudspeakers (AR 2a clones). I got fed up with having a separate system for my computer, so I ran a line from my AirPort Express to my 980 to simplify things.
To be perfectly honest, this setup is all I need; the only shortcoming I can think of is the lack of a CD player.
I know some of the vintage console guys may be upset that I put my receiver and TT on top of my old Zenith. Prior to my ownership, the TV was in a barn, exposed to the elements, where it sustained water damage and became a home for field mice. I salvaged all of the tubes, and most of the other parts, however the insides of this particular TV were done for. I figured that if anything, I saved the TV from the scrap yard, and by saving the other parts, other Zeniths can live on. Maybe one day I'll find a clever solution for the cabinet.

It would be awesome if you could convert the tv to an aquarium?

I actually have three bikes, one is never enough!
The orange and chrome one is a 1985 Lighthouse, custom built by Tim Neenan. The fork was NOS, made by Antonio Mondonico before his retirement. This is my absolute favorite bike to ride, and it was the most fun for me to build. I have the full details over here.
The blue one, is a 1987 Cannondale that had less than 300 miles on it when I got it. Shimano 600 all around, Wolber rims, 3TTT Stem, bars and Seatpost. White San Marco Regal Saddle. it's a blast to ride, but then again, "steel is real".
The white and yellow one is a 1989 Cilo 450 Sport that I converted to a single speed commuter. It's a great commuter, and is definitely lower maintenance than my other bikes, but really I do like having more than one gear.

My computer room with all my Pioneer gear. Gota get a pic of my home theater in the living room.
Whats the system specs for the computer? Is that funny picture cropping, or do you have two monitors as well?
I can see a Viewsonic monitor(17"?) a Tt armour case, a vantec hdd bay, looks liek a vantec fan controller, a 9 in 1 card reader, a pair of LG DVD burners and a 3.5" floppy, apperently you have Zalmon cooling an Athlon 64 X2 class cpu, ASUS motherboard, and an eVGA gfx card.
Its a AMD 4800+ X2. 4gig with two 500gig hd's no fan controller. MB is a ASUS SLI Delux board. EVGA 7600 running two displays 19" and 17" Viewsonics. OS is Ubuntu Linux. I did a quick job of stitching 3 pics together to show the whole bench. What isnt shown for gear is a 8500II tuner another PL-518 as well as a PL-550. I have a RT-909 on the way. I use Audacity and Ardour to digitize music and then I can just spin around in my chair and I use my regular machine to retrieve the whole digitized album and break it up into individual tracks to be encoded to MP3's. This machine is much faster at it than the other.
AMD 6400+ 8gig with 1 Raptor drive and 3 terabyte drives 1 of them swappable. EVGA 8800GTS 512MB display card driving two Viewsonic 24" wide screen displays. OS is 64 bit XP
Next to my desk is my wifes who uses the same system as me except she has a single 19" display and is running the 32bit XP

Certifiably Awesome!
My thoughts exactly!
Either that or stick a cheapo LCD in there just to make it look functional (do LCDs come in black and white?)
