I think those speakers look like they may be DIY too (nicely done).

2 samsung spinpoint F2 ecogreen 1.5Tb hardrives, cooler master 120mm rifle cpu cooler, artic cooling MX-2 thermal compound, GITS 2.0 on Blu-ray, tickets to see Epica, The XX, and Major Lazer, plus supplies for the snow we here are seeing.

I really like their cover of Wilco's Radio Cure too.

Seems doubtful that it would let you write to it if it does.

Interestingly, it makes me want one more if that makes sense.

The 3G support is just an external adapter like they currently have for laptops is it not? So that it could be bought from Mac separately and added later?

With that kind of support for peripherals now announced, I don't think I have a real problem with it as an OTG device. I bet there will be apps to combine tasks that people really want (If someone isn't working on that, I'd be shocked). EDIT: Noticed what Stretch said, nice. No flash is a bigger bummer to me, but not a deal breaker. Maybe a display adapter for HDMI out would be nice, but at this point now I'm only picking at straws.

Awesome.

I don't necessarily want to buy a data plan for both devices and this thing isn't communicating with any non-licensed devices that don't have wireless or can run software to host the iPad. I do like this device though still, It seems like its going to be very popular.

Well, I kind of thought this thing was supposed to be able to be a replacement for a netbook. An option to use a normal USB keyboard and access removable storage without a server would be nice to me, maybe import pictures from the camera directly. Unless devices are a computer or have wireless support, they won't communicate with this by default. Its definitely not going to serve as a digital front end which I thought would be nice.

I don't use AT&T, but I have heard bad things about its 3G service and data plans. What does unlimited actually mean to AT&T? This seems like a great deal for laptops at this price if you could work that out.

The deal breaker for certain for me will be whether it can host external devices (hard drives, keyboards, monitors, etc.).

Ooo!

The TPA Buffalo DACuses the 9018 chip and the BDP-83SE uses the 9016 which is said to be its slightly lower performance brother I believe as well.

I was thinking of maybe upgrading the Buffalo24 to the new version of the Buffalo32 coming out with the volumite to get an upgrade in sound quality and solve the preamp problem.

How is the CDP-2 with the 12L-A? It may be what I need, as I have thinking I may need a preamp, though the variable outputs don't sound appealing from the descriptions give here. Any other recommendations?

Sinuses killing me here too, listening to the liquid behind my ear drums and chest cold nastiness at night trying to sleep. Went to court this morning for two hours and now must pay court fees plus a $225 fee for substance abuse classes for possession of an open container (leftover incident from Halloween). Nothing going on my record if things go as planned. Bleh, but not horrible.

They were with the SRM-T1 as well.

Great impressions Steve, I'm also stoked to hear the comparison of the exStata's performance with the mk1.

Nice, I would love to have those for my class, they were great when I was in college.

Planet Earth BBC Edition (better version in my opinion) in Blu-Ray + a $5 gift card $29.99 from the discovery store. The Blu-Ray is $24.99 by itself. You can add in the gift card or some of the other cheap filler items to bring it over $25 and get free shipping. Maybe someone could post up their gift card to help out others on the deal (IE, they could use the gift card you purchased to buy a $5 gift card and get free shipping and then give you their $5 gift card they received to make it even). I have this on Blu-Ray and consider it a must-have. Planet Earth Blu-ray + $5 Gift Card $29 - SlickDeals.net Forums

When I do visit head-case in public/work, I do have firefox running off of pen drive with a minimize to taskbar feature, helps.

I definitely don't leave head-case up at work. Today is a work day, so no worries.

Indeed! Though maybe a mod should change the fucking title though so it is a little more work appropriate like the f**king snow thread?

They forgot to including drinking.
