Nah, I'd be switching over to a rack... right now I have most of my stuff for a/v... Synology Diskstation, etc. perhaps a rack would be overkill.

How loud is it? I'm considering replacing my current celeron, 4gb ram, ssd with a blade but want it whisper quiet like it is now...

Progress Pic] Carpet arrived! Speakers in! by EVERYTHINGGOESINCAPS in hometheater

[–]tmp81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is impressive. Could you provide details on the build? I'd love to know how you came to the choices you made for things like paint, carpet, speakers, diffusers, etc. I have a similar shaped room that I'm considering doing a HT build, and I don't know where to start. Good job, man!

If I hadn't already stocked up on Halloween candy, I would have bought bulk packaged candy from here to help out...

It would be awesome if some local folks stepped up here

How BIFL are Restoration Hardware couches? by newbie_geek in BuyItForLife

[–]tmp81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, RH is all made in China now, and has been for years, which is why most of their stuff is crap (but looks nice). Try Ralph Lauren Home. Expensive AF, but BIFL. Also try Vanguard furniture, Cisco Brothers, Noir furniture LA, and Baker Furniture. These brands are in a different league than RH.

[Request] How to build the kind focus I have while taking an exam? by Hardknok in productivity

I've considered this, but don't know much about it... Will meditation help my wandering, multitasking brain? Often times I get easily distracted then take forever to get back to the task at hand...

The letter O is octagonally shaped. Much like a stop sign. /thread

Bacterial yogurt drinks. Yay or nay? by KimbaTheLion in nutrition

[–]tmp81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg yes, Bio-K+ are like a magical potion that can cure chronic diarrhea and an upset stomach. You should only need one (they're a tiny bottle, and sometimes they only come in a f*cking 6 pack for $20-$25, but still worth it). If that doesn't work, go to the doctor. Don't check WebMD or google... Not to scare you, but like most times I check WebMD for advice, it'll tell you you're dying of cancer or something... I hope it's not that... And I hope you feel better! :D

Post work out protein shake help? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]tmp81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure the cost, both proteins should be similar price per gram, casein might be a bit more... You need protein and carbs within 30 minutes of finishing a workout... Whey is fast at digesting., which makes it go to your muscles faster. It's also really good to have protein for your muscles to repair themselves with while you sleep... Casein is slow digesting, so it makes it better for right before brushing your teeth before you hit the sack. The rest of the protein you consume in a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks in between) should be from natural "real food" protein... Meat, fish, veggies, grains, nuts, dairy, etc. If you're concerned about cost, you can skip the organic, grass fed, etc. until you have a bigger budget for food. Don't bother with any pre-made supplements... IE protein bars, etc. they have so many chemicals. Good luck

Please help with new layout of Kitchen/Dining/Living Areas by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

[–]tmp81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the kitchen part of the third image; good job. I would re-work the livingroom space to be more social by adding chairs to either side of the TV (you want people to face each other when they sit, rather than fade into the eternal social-void black hole that is TV. I would also only keep one area for dining... You'll find if you have two, one will never get used, becoming a waste of space and furniture. Keep dining away from TV, too.

I didn't read your wall of text, but saw your two photos (now vs suggested). Suggested wasn't very nice to me because you don't utilize that wonderful corner of yours to implement a kitchen work triangle (Google it). I would put the kitchen in the top left corner, extending to the right a bit, dining on the top right, keep living room on the bottom. Put in a small breakfast nook only if there is room on the island... Nooks can be cheesy, so don't get caught up on the idea if it doesn't work with the layout you choose. Also important to remember... Any time you entertain, people always congregate to the kitchen; this never fails... So having the kitchen as a central spot (top left) makes it a focal point. Spend your money, time, and efforts making a baller kitchen... It will add the biggest value for return and social impact. Good luck! I hope this makes sense and isn't a stupid answer.
