I believe it is a Dell AS501 sound bar, it mounts to the bottom of (I believe) all Dell UltraSharp monitors and is powered directly by the monitor. It's not the greatest sounding speaker in the world, but it is quite handy nonetheless!

Not super exciting, but when you need the right tool for the job, you need the right tool.

It's not exactly a purchase, unless you count the fuel costs I incurred, which was around $18.

My most recent acquisition is an SGI O2, as mentioned in my hardware halp thread.

RE: Latest purchase?
Macintosh Color Classic from Japan. Imported it because Buyee had a special free shipping offer, and it ended up being much cheaper than getting it in Europe (this cost me €98 in total, the ones in Europe tend to start at €250). Fixed a missing power switch as the previous owner probably broke it, and just replaced it with two wires with spade connectors to connect the IEC plug and analog board together. As the machine has soft power on, there isn't really a problem with hot wiring it, other than it always sipping standby power. I also removed a Maxell PRAM battery that was just about to leak, and after a little tinkering around, all is well.

It's fairly slow though (a lot of bloat on this Mac OS install), and it won't always succesfully boot from the HDD, so that's probably going bad. Nothing a SCSI2SD can't fix, but I still need to buy a bunch of those for many of my Macs and for any future SGIs. It will need a recap for both the logic board and analog board, which I will do soon, when the weather cools down a bit again.

I will likely also do a 640x480 mod, as the 512x384 resolution will stop a lot of software from working due to the former resolution often being a minimum requirement. There's a few ways of doing it, but I'd like to go with the method that will work with both the original logic board, as well as a "Mystic" board (a board out of an LC5xx series machine, most of which are less crippled '030, or even '040 machines).

I got a BOXX APEXX 2 2401 for $325. Runs SolidWorks slightly faster than my old work machine. It's shocking how fast it is given its age.

I finally got a PS2!!!

[Image: cnkukQI.jpg]

I spent the whole afternoon dismantling it, cleaning it and reassembling it!

I tested it using "G-force". It's a cool little game!

For those out there, who complain about the noise that the PS4 Pro makes, they were clearly not born yet when the PS2 was current, as it's a pretty noisy machine in comparison!!!
