Although a binder clip can hold all the cables and seems like a better buy, I replaced all my binder clips with one less drops for two reasons.. 1 the one less drop is heavy... Not like a binder clip or those plastic cable drops... It has the weight to hold a few cables on its own without extra help. Second it is not ugly...it just seems weird to spend 1600 on a computer and accessories that match but have a ugly binder clip holding my cables... Is it a little spurge?.. Yup... Absolutely but I can't tell you how nice it is to have everything on my desk match just so...

Updates have sure been sparse today... is everything functioning OK?

Why would I go through a seven step process to convert a file when many website have a upload / download in a 3 step process & many applications have 3 step drag and drop convert. Also this article content would make sense when the first ipod came out. Not 10 years latter.

It the one that comes with the one less desk. Dean Heckler is super responsive and will likely sell you if you email him. The length is very nice & like a foot deep.

worst ipad stand ever

I have had one of these for about 2-3 months although it works as promised I have had to replace 2 CFLs... the CF24EL/TWIST/DIM... strange right?

although your not going to be won over here... If your going to keep a computer for 8 years your probably going to use that computer for thousands of hours, I'd want to spend a bit more than a low-ball acer. Other than your bed.. there are few things in the house that we use more... spend money where you spend time...

I may be against the grain here.. But I think that the best media centers are the one that don't try to do everything... Sure you can record 1080i with the above set up.. but doing so means can't hardly play a movie because of the processor usage.... Same with blu-ray recording. Try finding what you want in 12 tb of a library or even loading all the the movie pictures into your playback device.. I say for the same money buy a mac mini and WD TV Hub or better yet older imac and new mac mini and a few 1tb, 2tb or 3tb externals. Retaining a huge library on your playback device slows down your playback. Keep a small collection (under 500mb on your playback device) and a larger one on the encode device. Most of things you are saving are things you won't watch again or may never watch again, but want to keep.... Plus all those things you are downloading, encoding, etc really hog CPU usage.. You don't need to spend the money for a raid .. when you don't need the collection all in one place for playback. I say why build the best when two oks are better and cheaper..

I agree plasma.... better and cheaper don't be fooled by may LCD TV makers that print "best in Class 3-D" this is usually achieved by making a LCD at a slightly different size than there plasma competitors... also Panasonic Plasma 3D has the exclusive to Avatar 3-D although you may not love the move the free blu-Ray will fetch between 100 and 300 dollars (usually around 150) on ebay.. FYI

when someone gets a foot cut off with a riding lawn mower (like in Mad Men). I generally end the party. Also when some gets out a tazer. When some drinks the last beer. When someone decides to call the cops and of course when you find pee anywhere it shouldn't be... '

usually just shout "Five-O" and every books it. But if that fails, I usually have the security guards handle it or I just start throwing blows (that injury release at the binging of the party has its perks)
