    Those are modified Insignia NS-B2111's. I reinforced the enclosure, built a new crossover and magnetically shielded them. The porting also got some attention, overall I am very pleased with the sound. :)

    it looks like dr3w was using all of those phones to cover up one of them magazines ;)
    Your m15x looks huge because your desk is so small.
    I thought it was one of the larger 19" machines until I read your sig.

    Please do not smoke and use your system in the same room, or one after another. Make sure to wash your hands and get rid of the chemicals from smoking. You do not want to ruin the finish on your system.

    LOL. Loved the way you phrased this. "Why does everyone need so much? You need at least one of each."

    At least? So three or four are okay? xD

    Ive been using this cellphone for 2 months already and have no major probs with it so far. Looks very professional and high tech bec of the touch panel. Features, it has everything I need for everyday use (Im a graphic artist). I always bring my laptop to work with me so I dont really need that much feature with my cellphone. Customization is very nice... you can customize just about everything to fit your needs. It feels very solid but the back part is prone to scratches. No biggie if you take good care of it.

    1 thing I dont like with the cell is its kinda slow for me. Like when opening txt inbox specially when it has lots of msges... takes like 2-3 secs. Maybe bec. my prev. cellphone was D600 and opening msges is like instant on that phone. But thats just me. My friends always tells me its not that slow maybe because most of them are using nokia. Other than that, its a very good phone. If looks is your major concern on cellphones, you wont regret it! For features, I would suggest the new Samsung Omnia that just came out.

    Thanks for your advice! I always use hand sanitizer before using the laptop specially after smoking. I dont really smoke inside my room except after having ... (you know what :wink :) with my gf :D. It just happens that I just came back from a smoke break and I happen to put the darn thing there lol.

    Thank you for your kind comment :)

    Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion on the Samsung Soul u900 cellphone. Regarding the Samsung Omnia i900, I've just bought it 2 weeks ago and even though it is a great smart phone, I still kinda like the design of the Soul u900....

    I think he is ok on that rule seeing as you sig is twice as long. You have over 4 lines of normal text along with an image and a couple lines of small test. Also, the mods are on the site to handle this sort of thing if you didn't already know.

    Hey bud, how much did that custom 360 cost altogether? The broken machine, the case? Because I'm thinking of getting one, but I don't want to spend too much money. I also have no idea how to repair a broken 360. xD

    Both Cases cost £40 including spray paint i put the window in the side my self the xbox 360 cost £30
    the lead to convert the power Pack cost £10 from Ebay once you get the xbox running of the power pack you can add anything you like to it Neon’s fans ect

    i put 2 new fans on the xbox with fan control at the front
    The xbox had RROD which you can find loads of simple guide the repair this and as long as you keep it cool after it can be a permanent fix

    The hardest part was soldering all of the wires on the xbox for the DVD, connect, LEDS and power button you will also have to extend the power lead for the DVD-Rom

    if your interested in doing this i could put a little guide together

    Yeah, it seems to be holding up quite well. No visible signs of wear & tear yet. The true test is on the palm rest but so far so good. :)
