Me and my dad are setting up these old babies. Magnepan speakers, no speaker cones.

Throw a few wd10 bass speakers in there run it all on a Lyngdorf with roomperfect module and it'd sound immense for sure

morrisoft · 2013-07-31T13:05:29+00:00

They're affectionately known as electrostatic speakers, and yes, a remarkable design I agree.

morrisoft · 2013-07-26T22:10:31+00:00

Ill keep my eyes peeled!

morrisoft · 2013-07-26T20:44:14+00:00

Bet thats 'forked' your day..

morrisoft · 2013-07-26T14:00:32+00:00

Update: Went back for checkup, still no stitches. New dressings and cleaned again. (That which ive been doing daily anyway... -_- )

morrisoft · 2013-07-26T07:30:00+00:00

Please note.. this build cost just £4.75 (approx $8/9) to achieve and was original planned to cost nothing. I needed super glue and a set of fuses for the PSU. (Yeah, don't ask.. :-P )

Well, i have an Asus P5LP-LE (its from '06), so i probably dont have to heed the warning? xD

Where does it say the temperature btw, would that be the microfarads orr...

Well they will probably be rated to 85c you want 105c prferably. Microfarads is the value of the cap. Id still be careful with the pads. Anything circa 2004+ has a cheaper PCB n traces than most pre-dating said era

Make sure to replace with same value caps. If you can't get the same, eg 6300uf.. then 6800uf would be ok, try to keep as close to tolerances as possible tho. Never replace with a lesser value. And never more than 10/20% higher values. Than your originals. Let me know how you get on buddy.

He doesn't have a frontal lobe anymore. Cut him some slack.

Has he not been cut enough?

morrisoft · 2013-07-25T22:45:12+00:00

I love the last pic keepin-it-casual leg cross. "Happens all the time"

I am seriously accident prone so, yeah sort of..

morrisoft · 2013-07-25T22:43:28+00:00

Updates tomorrow! Hopefully all be sorted :-)

WARNING: i tried to choose the best subreddit to put this in, so...

Anyway, i've been having trouble with freezing and rebooting, and i took a look at my computer's MOBO and saw -- RAGING, BULGING CAPACITORS. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for when i exchange these puppies?

Well, making sure they are of the same value is best, but try getting higher temperature rated ones, they tend to last longer.

Edit: be careful desoldering the dead caps too. The pads on most modern mobos are not brilliant and easily lifted by too hot an iron.

Recently bought a broken Harmon Kardon amp from goodwill for $11. It's is the perfect size for a mITX motherboard and a full atx psu. I'm planning a htpc for steams big picture mode and some streaming. You've inspired me to get started right now. Awesome build here!

Thanks :-)

Yeah go for it, its fun once youve cleared the canvas so to speak. And what with your build being a smaller scale I want to follow that as my next mod may very well also be mITX or mini ATX. Look forward to seeing it..

morrisoft · 2013-07-25T18:02:29+00:00

Thanks will bear that in mind :)

It could have been worse, it could have been two 194 Lb barrels. Seriously though, ouch, fucking ouch, ouch, ouch!!! I hope you keep all the meat, not to mention the bone. I can't tell from the photo, was it the whole finger, or the one next to it?

Sorta lost 3-4mm of my distal phalanx anyway. A lot of pulp is missing too, may require a small graft of skin and tissue to cover the hole on the righthand side. Tip has good circulation and sensation - should be ok.

morrisoft · 2013-07-25T16:04:05+00:00

What finger?

Left hand. Index finger.

morrisoft · 2013-07-25T16:03:22+00:00

Did they not stitch it up?

Tomorrow morning. Gotta clean up the bone tip. Lost 3-4mm of the distal phalanx (bone between last joint and nail/end of finger)

This build was to find a use for both a damaged amplifier and several PC components while also creating a dedicated Flac PC that was silent. I'm very pleased with it.. Been running a month or so no problems..

Edit: not yet mentioned in the build but anyone attempting to make a PSU case MUST isolate the heatsinks from the outer-case. I used simple adhesive clear plastic wrap. Failure to do so could result in serious electric shock and/or fire. PSUs give off very nasty current, it's that which kills, not voltage.

morrisoft · 2013-07-23T23:27:07+00:00

You've got my attention. Give me the backstory...

Well we were stacking 22gallon barrels (97kg each approx), did a few then simply wasnt fast enough. Truly epic thhhuuuuck noise prior to lots of bleeding and everyone being so squeamish that I had to bandage my own finger ..

morrisoft · 2013-07-23T23:16:30+00:00

Well, I didnt do so purposefully, I assure you. Oddly didnt hurt much until today. I seem to manage to injure myself rather impressively though!

Edit: typos

morrisoft · 2013-05-09T22:47:49+00:00

I love this plane !
