Gotta watch out for laptop HDD though - 5400RPM drives are teh suck when you hit the pagefile. Of course in a DAW you fix the pagefile and have lots of RAM... if you have more money than stryd_one... My PC is a Celeron II 333Mhz that my neighbour donated, out of pity for the computer tech that couldn't afford his own computer. It works, I don't need an upgrade *that* badly ;D

mine is 4200 but it does his job, this is not my DAW, just our home computer

with all your work here you should put a donate (spare parts for pc) button in your profile

Seriously!

Is that really your main machine Stryd? I'd send you a P3 or something if the shipping isn't murderous.

Ahh you guys are too kind! Truth be told, I now slightly misuse a work PC when I'm on the forum (in my own time of course, although I sometimes take a quick break from work and midibox for distraction)... and, if I stopped spending money on midibox parts I could probably fork out for a decent PC
The Celeron is the one in my lab though, cause I don't want to splash solder all over a laptop I don't own hehehe
I compile on the work PC (for speed) and transfer with a USB memory stick to the lab (for midi) to upload though, and that is a pain in the ass! But I only have myself to blame.... oh... and MEC. and Optrex. Those bastards, they're dealing DIY audio crack, I got the monkey on my back!

And as I've always told myself, stop buying pcb's or starting new projects before finishing old ones, yeah right

Heh , it's good to have too many projects, keeps you on your toes!

Is that a monome there? THey're a lot smaller than I thought (looking at the ultracores as comparison)

Frank Zappa is watching you!

images of the mighty and majestic QUEUE (in any of the various forms he chooses to manifest) is reckless.

stryd, thats the monome, quite small (8 X 8 inch box) and can be held with two hands and played as if playing a video game.
except the UltraCore, most of the projects are done or waiting for me to finish the soldering, now working on panel design and enclosures.

Am I alone in the fact that I don't have a workspace? We have a large wood burning stove (Aga) at home so I just get everything out and use the top of it.

I say same thing to myself, but how can you not buy PCB when offered. I have same problem starting new project before finishing last ones, but It don`t make sense do nothing while waiting for some parts for first or second project. There is always something to wait. And If I receive the PCB, I just have to solder it. That is at least some progression. I live in a dream that I`ll go into final phase with all my projects and they all become finished in same time.
Here is the CD shelf That keeps x0x and mb808 till waiting for some parts. Other projects are all over the house.  :)



And, this is where I solder bigger PCBs

;D  ;D  ;D You are crazy man. I`m glad I inspired you.

At least you have enough sense to get something important like that up high where it's safe. Mine end up in the middle of everything, knocked on the floor and who knows what else. I'm lucky some of them still work when I get done. ;D

Jamie: You broke one of my studio rules - no drinks without lids. One day you'll knock one of those glasses/cans over and you'll know why I have that rule
Sasha: I hope you don't wear polyester fabric, or your lab is a static discharge waiting to happen
Jidis: I have a big box for the delicate parts which are waiting... cost me $10 and I know I'm not gonna smash any sids
;)
