Is that a fridge on the right or a drinks chiller? What is it like at cooling drinks, if it is a drinks chiller and not a fridge?

chiller
Under Normal Drinks are Cold on Normal or high i've seen them ice on them

do you have rears for your setup or r they just 2 channel?

2 channel only 99.9% its music only so not worth going 5.1/7.1

Another forum asked for an update to Everything here it is

 

[smogsy]

How is the heating coming along now that it's winter, are you keeping it at a constant temperature or just heating when necessary?

Its fine to be honest

I turn it on 30 minutes before I get home from work & its more toasty than the house, I leave it on I return to the house for the night
(it shuts off automatically after it reaches the selected temperature for x minutes) then kicks back in after if required.


if I go in their in the mornings on a weekend with heat not on its Bloody freezing. but only takes 10 minutes to warm up

 

[smogsy]

[smogsy]

so, ive not really done much updates to this, but theirs so much i want to do....

What going on? if you care read the spoiler

Spoiler

Unfortunately since January i've had a lot of pain in my knee after 5 weeks I went to the doctor who thinks i've torn my cartilage or worse. I’ve carried on going to work because I actually enjoy it that much but the pain is terrible somedays i have got to go for a MRI this week to find out what’s going on. All i know is the pain can sometimes be more painful than when i broke my arm is to places (elbow/Wrist) Every step can fill like my shin is going to snap or knee is going to collapse
easiest way to explain the pain is
imagine the feeling you get when someone pull your arm the wrong way. you fill that quick snaps like pain. its that for Every step or any movement. i can bend my knee more than 5 degree each way..
.

Anyway the good stuff
Everyone said i needed one.

Their you go





i'm also trying to move to Linux Full time (as a pure gamer) i know.. crazy. But ive started & so far enjoy Linux much more than Windows.

so far that any new programs i create i will be doing cross-platform
i use linux at lot at work managing servers at such so the step is not so bad & all VAvle games work BETTER under linux than they do on windows. City skylines works well skank works well

Heres my desktop so far

That is epic, if you wanted to save enery you could kingspan the roof.
My man cave is the old outhouses on the side of the house and was freezing in winter as its flat roof and single brick walls. But I put 2 rads in and kingspan 50mm the roof and one outside wall.. its now hotter than the house and stays that way.

not as epic as your build tho

Also love you case... but then I would do

See first pictures... 70mm+ in floor and ceiling.

 

[smogsy]

I would want a cabin without insulation in the floor full stop

 

[smogsy]
