I didnt use anything that fancy. I had a 15pin Quickshot QS-123a for flight sims.

I was thinking about this the other day. Cooking - Metal (Megadeth or ACDC) or loud rock (like Jesu, Mogwai or Flu Fighters ). Anyone who has worked in a kitchen with a retail facing side understands what that customer push feels like and the need to be expedient. This helps get the kitchen...

I have that conversation with myself all of the time. I stepped away from the cess pool that is fartbarf years ago and haven't looked back, but their market place is a legitimately useful and huge sales net, so it's sometimes hard to intentionally limit my ability to fish. Still, fartbarf and I...

Absolutely. I've had some real pricey bottles over the years and they were fantastic but I absolutely love running into a good ~$10 table wine. Plenty of low dollar vinegar out there but those truly quality bottles are a great find when one discovers them (often bottles crafted for a $15-20 ring...

Very nice. I will hunt one down. Speaking of Spanish wines, I do enjoy the spiciness of a good Tempranillo. Very good with some little snacky apps like a jamon serano charcuterie plate Bocadillos, bunuelos or fire blistered shishitos. Mmmmm

This got me thinking about reds. Again, full transparency - while I do enjoy a balanced and rich, wet on the tongue beaujolais, or cotes du Rhone (Boreaux region is great in general) I'm not really much of a red drinker. I leave that to my wife who loves reds and milk chocolates. I do however...

My wife loves to shop at Trader Jose's and this trip I tagged along. We spied a $10 value bottle of Portugese Vinho Verde. Full transparency - I love crisp but wet on the tongue, fruit forward but not sweet whites like Gewurtztraminer, Vinho Verde, sauvingnon Blanc, some roses etc. Anyhow, I...

Oof, home ownership is the ultimate money pit. I just got done knocking down a wall downstairs to open up my wife’s office. Ended up redoing window soffits, fix some house settling cracks, painting, new hardware, refin air duct in/outlets, new carpet, new lights, ran new cat5 &installed new...

Love that NeXT poster. Never seen it before. Very cool!

Let's get this forum rolling. I'd guess favs would be the food (or eating it) right? Over the years I've cooked an absolute metric ton of holiday foods from turkeys, ducks, geese, hams, briskets and beef rib roasts, standing pork roasts to latkes, gravies, mashes, purees, veggies ten ways of...

Pretty neat what a fresh coat of paint can do.

I didn't want to be greedy :)

Oh you reminded me - I do have one bucket list item to add - a set of 30" cinema displays. Yeah baby :cool:

Hmm, that seems like overkill to me. As long as the tower is properly secured with a firm foam inside the interior box and wont move around, any flex incurred from clumsy LTL warehouse loaders bouncing/kicking/su-plexing your package around should be absorbed by the external box and its peanuts...

Well, I think that unit came out really nicely. I like the look of "barn yard" builds. I think yours looks fantastic. The cedar grain top really makes it happen for me. They look like you reclaimed them right off an old tool shed and the white base comes off "white washed" and yeah, the whole...

With how brittle the plastics have become, I agree double boxing makes great sense. Made some calls to professional package+ship franchises in my area and the request was not unheard of, so if buyer is willing to fork over a Benjamin for pack+ship+ins, you could have someone else do the job...

Good info, thanks! So I will look at double boxing and fast shipping options. Thanks again.

Well, I guess you’ll just have to build another matching display table for your acquisitions :) Do you have a plan or schematic for the table by chance? Raw lumber in the US has dropped down in price so now would be a good time for such projects!

I recommend that you call the local computer stores in your area and see if they have any mid tower boxes they would be willing to give you. This works well in giving you a properly shaped box (often with inserts) that you can use,/modify/improve upon to best protect and ship your tower.

Lol I think I did.
