His work is just mind bogglingly awesome, for being mainly hand drawn with a little bit of touch up on his PC ( sometimes )- the way he does greebling is just perfect.

 

Slipknot's new album and Colour Vinyl

Sounds bloody awesome.

 

Doubled my RAM

 

Very nice! I have plans to integrate one of these into my network in the near future, so I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it and what you think of its performance

 

Some wiring crazyiness for the Saab so at last i can have a handsfree kit and my own stereo



And one of these so the dash doesn't throw a hissy fit

 

That looks amazing, sorry for the noob question, but what's special about it?

 

It's a fully cloud managed router with the ability to see all the way down to Layer 7 (Applications).

I'm already using 2 MR18 AP's and a MR12 at another site.

Do you intend on using it as a router or just a firewall Votick?

 

Both as that's what it's designed for

 

I too have a Saab and it's audio system is a PITA - ended up with a parrot and some new speakers by way of a compromise. 06 plate onwards had a standard double DIN stereo and wiring so would be much easier to change/upgrade etc.

 

Yeah I know it's going to be worth it in the long run but I sort of wish they had a slightly cheaper dedicated firewall appliance. My current router is more than capable and really not that old, but I want the cloud managed firewall capability of the MX60.

 

Ahh this is the parrot cable so fingers crossed itll all behave, im leaving the stock speaker wiring intact incase its needed though!

 

What kind of car audio system needs a fiber pass through?!

 

Saab decided to really jump on the fibre optic bandwagon - that little passthrough is so the indicator/reversing sensor sounds still come out of the speakers - Don't go down the rabbit hole of looking into audio systems in pre-06 plate saabs.........

You'll wake up in the night in a cold sweat

 

Far Cry 4 for PS4. Oh my lord it's brilliant.

 

Raspberry Pi 2.0


Case for Raspberry pi


going to be using it for a media centre box and if it goes well will get another for when My house move happens as will have 2 rooms where this will be useful

 

I wish it was rackmountable for the price.

 

Yes it would have been nice, not quite sure why they went with the desktop design for it instead of the more common half-rack 1u box profile with a pair of available elongated mounting ears. Apparently it's wall mountable though, and if it's wall mountable it's rack mountable with a pair of custom brackets My rack has a shelf in it for my modem and current PIX firewall anyway, so I probably won't bother with fancy custom brackets.

Out of interest where did you purchase it from? I assume a Meraki rep?

 

An im drowning in cold sweat right now! Plus side looks like i only need half that loom. Seeing as i only paid half the retail value of it im not as annoyed.

In other news phone commited hari kari on me today.
