Currently running 3 disk raid 5, I'll add more disks to it over time. 5 bay sata RAID with an Intel Pentium M processor running Linux. As soon as I get settled in with it, it's very customizable. I want to put a bittorrent client on it for starters.

My media collection went over 1TB and normal HD backup was no longer cutting it.

Looks nice!
 
Got my Pioneer AVIC-D3 in this week, installed it yesterday.

Not really a toy, but it does give me lots of joy

Although it's nothing new, but taking something you haven't touched in the past 4 years out of the closet is pretty exciting too ;)

I have decided to sell my NAD C542 CD player, haven't decided if I want to replace it with something else, or slowly part out my headphone rig; it just doesn't get enough use. For now, my Sharp SD-NX10 will be my temporary source.

It's pretty embarrassing to hook up a bookshelf system to a tube amp, but to my surprise, the NX10 actually sounds pretty damn good :)

Wow, nice. I'm waiting for the day I can get some of the new Luxman components as an upgrade over my current Sony ones. My parents have their old Luxman system in the living room and I'm quite sure it would blow my $500 receiver out of the water.
 
:) It's here..

NICE. Paid for mine today, should receive Thursday.

I'm really happy, I tried the Ipod touch for the first time today, and I really like its interface and everything. Good thing, at that time I already paid for the Phone :lol::lol:

bloody hell..... im so jealous, i want an iphone as well.

So.... apart from the fact that you can use the phone anywhere in the world with any sim card, what else do you get for unlocking the phone???

Well, that's about it. I can use it with my own simcard and don't have to make the regular contract with which the iphone is sold in germany (and costs about 50?/month).


@buba: You can look forward to it, it's bloody awesome.:D (and i have to say, a fair bit better than the ipod touch)
 
^ Dammit. They just released the 1.1.4 while the guy who sells it to me did the 1.1.3 update for me. Now the thing has 1.1.4 and its not that safe right now to use Ziphone... I really wanted it on Thursday:cry:
