My guess is you're going to love it. Post pics and impressions asafp.

I think the price point for the cans is odd.

AudioCubes.com - Denon AH-A100 100th Anniversary Over-Ear Headphones - Is there anything special here?

I'm really impressed by the composition in so many of these shots. I don't know what it is, but I can't compose a shot worth a damn. Stupidity I guess.

I can see you through your computer.

Ok. Now for external drives. I was kind of planning to use 2 firewire drives that I have. The mini has one FW800 port. I guess my plan would be to use one as the main music storage and the second as the time machine backup. But they'd have to be daisy chained. Is that bad?

Sorry I'm late, but Happy bday!

I'll be getting the Mini with 4GB of RAM. If this thing will just be serving up music and maybe movies, would any more RAM be significantly better?

Heh...Unfortunately, I think that counts me.

In other words, you're going to try to blow up the Moon. Sounds pretty cool. Dan, good luck!

Very cool, Birgir. How difficult is the mod overall?

I saw a bunch of headband assemblies FS on ebay a few weeks ago. Not sure if they're still up.

Maybe your internet needs bigger tubes?

Music is for suckers.

i hate the Jets and NJ Transit.

I love those, Jeff. Nicely done.

Smegs, I'm sorry you're having these problems. The answer is clear. Smash everything to little tiny bits and get new shiny things.

AH, and there you have it: the Jets defense ARE superheroes! And I'll be there to cheer them on, so you can't lose. In other news, note to self: maybe I should actually be present for a draft one year. My team sssuuuuuu

Thanks Greg, will keep that in mind. As for DAC, I'm thinking the HRT Music Streamer II. Seems pretty easy, cheap, and decent. I especially like that it's powered by the USB port. Any thoughts?

Word.

I am, of course, deeply disappointed that the series is not based on this:

I think I'm going the Mac Mini route. They already have an old flat screen (VGA, should be ok, right?) that I can repurpose. I'll hide the Mini in a cabinet beneath the stereo stuff and get them the wireless keyboard and pad. I'll also get them the new Apple TV so they can stream to their HT downstairs. I'll order an iPod Touch so they can control remotely. And I'll get a cheap DAC to connect to the stereo rig. Not a cheap solution, but it's robust and I think, in the end, actually easier for them to operate provided that I can lock them out of most of the other computer stuff.
