Nice piece of kit you got there,is it going to be put out on displayed too in the house?

Sort of

, in his own special way

, my son is gonna be 7

. He has an Autistic Spectrum Disorder, he is classed as high functioning. For what he lacks in communication/social skills he excels in others

.

If you met him you would not know he has ASD

, he has a lovely bright personality

. Certain other toys that children of his age may enjoy do not hold his interest at all. Lego captivates him

, not only is it a visual stimulant but mental as well, he has quite a collection

. He also does some custom designs

.

One day I found him sitting at the dining table completely taking apart a set and basically repeating the build from memory, then repeating this process a few times to see how fast he could build it

. Lego movie is his fave movie, certain scenes are now etched in the rest of the family's minds

, I also lose count how many times a year we go to Legoland

they're use to protect hard drives when you don't have them mounted in an enclosure. I don't do it much anymore but I used to keep several drives on my desk and just swap the sata/power cables when I needed something off an older disks. this facilitates that.

Just testing a NAD T-753, and one thing for sure it blows the hell out of ONKYO and Yamaha. I thought it was time to get one once again as the last time was when the 3020 was released. Next on my list is a Rotel as they sound so sweet too.

45lb beast lol

Nice! So, you're part of the mechanical keyboard master race! I've been outta touch with mechanical keyboard nomenclature since losing interest after buying >20 mechanical keyboards. What is MX Silent? Is that another way of saying MX Red?

It's a variation of MX Red they designed to reduce noise. They built noise reduction into the switch itself without having to change anything else. Very nice when your not the only one in the room who has to get things done.

Hang in there its though, my son, 12 years old, has Aspergers that loves pokemon and math. My ex gf has to drive him around everyday looking for pokemon on that pokemon go game. I got him a complete pokemon collection of books, around 80 books and read them all within a month. I had to get him a tutor for advanced math class since he can do late high school level math in the 6th grade, every other subject is about average.

I picked up some Paradigm 5se up cheap but shortly after found some others that are really close to ones i been after ever since i had some some 19 years ago.

Really wanted the Tannoy Mercury which are originally dated 1981-3, but come across some Tannoy Mercury MK2's which are 1987-89 time line. The pic is of the ones i am getting on Monday. Apparently these have had one owner who has taken them the UK to Hong Kong France and the US, and their condition looks pretty awesome.

Will post more soon.

I have 2 of those Noctua's as my Intake/Exhaust, very pleased with them.

neatfeatguy · Oct 13, 2016

Just got delivered today. Need to swap out my aging CM 1000W Silent Pro this weekend and then re-do the cable management. Plus, I missed plugging in one of the USB headers to the MB when I had to replace the MB 6-8 months back, so one of the USB 2.0 ports doesn't work on the front of my tower.

Picked up two used office computers for $100CDN and then threw in R7 240's ($60 each) in them for my kids.

gupsterg · Oct 14, 2016

@INSTG8R

Got the same branded pad, but small version recently, bargain on Amazon as an addon item for <£4 IIRC. I was quite pleased how well it grips my custom PC desk, I think you have one as well
