Hey Rich!

The Yammies have me spurtin' wood!  That vertical TT looks awesome!

Is that a lighted computer case or a blue lava lamp in the background? >:D

Hey Carl! The yammy stuff sounds good but doesn't have that Marantz classy look!

It's an old water cooled overclocked duallie 'putie. Really made a splash back in the day when I was invloved with a web site devoted to cooling. Two 10K SCSI drives in RAID0. Now a single SATA drive can kick its ass for output.

PS

Rockman, show us the pics of the big system!

I dare you to show us that DAC! 8)

The upstairs system? I'll put something up in members systems and the DIy thread.

papa, you could get yourself an account at photobucket, upload pics to it and then link to them. Photobucket is free but you have to endure ads while uploading. Other photo sites exist but I'm not familiar with them.

Nick rack...mind if I ask what specifically you used, and where you sourced everything? I'd like to build one just like it.

thanks

Greetings NomadRider. Thx, but I can't take credit for building it.

That is a Salamander Archetype 5.0 rack I bought used on craigslist a long time ago. I've seen long threaded rods at the local Home Depot, but not in this size. IIRC they topped out at 1/2" USS thread.

Here is an old link I had saved. Looks like they sourced the larger 5/8" threaded rod at McMaster Carr.
