No shocker to most of the people that know me…I am happy with the Range Rover for now. I may look for something else in the future. 
4 post rack

Jul
I picked up a 4 post server rack today that will replace my 2 post telco rack I have now. I have 3-4 servers and the weight is to much for the telco rack. Here is a pic of it. I will post more when everything is installed.

Apparently we have a flightpath over our neighborhood when the weather is nice. Yesterday we saw 7 hot air balloons and this 4 aircraft formation.
My Subwoofer died :(

My Klipsch 10″ Theater Subwoofer died the other day. Every time i put a fuse in and turn it on, it blows the fuse. I called and have to send the amp to be repaired. Once I took it apart, I found at least one, if not two, resistors blew up. There was black singe marks around it and it looked melted. Its gonna cost me what I paid for the sub to fix it
Theater room painted, looks awesome!

The pictures you are about to see do not do the room justice. It is great looking! Cant wait to get the 100″ fixed screen in so I can start using it. I did however blow a fuse in my sub speaker today…I hope its just a blown fuse and not an indication of a problem.
Improving our theater!

Well, say goodbye to the electric drop 84″ screen and say hello to the 100″ fixed screen and a completely flat black viewing area. The build starts this weekend!
