Thanks to Josh for these wheels/Tires.(I believe Tom was the original owner of these and they've floated around the community since!) Bought them like 14 months ago and finally put them on. Powder coated 18" Special wheels in Titanium Metallic.







Need to install the "new" door/fender as shown in this picture! That'll happen later this week.


Worked on rewiring the stereo and installing new amps today. Love the Plug-N-Play PAC LOC that I installed and replaced the original crap spliced in LOC. Got to say the original installer was a "Hack"! All that's left is to clean up and bundle the wiring.

Started on the "Hybrid" interior swap. Installed a set of Light Taupe Special seats today. Thanks to Josh for the great deal on the seats. Swapped out the Slate Center Console/Side Panels along with the Glove Box Door and Drivers Dash Knee Bolster for the Light Taupe Items. Removed the Agate leather Intrepid seats which are now for sale. I've got a complete 300m Taupe/Light Taupe dash and Door panels with California wood trim to go in. The 300m Dark Slate dash and door panels with rears modded for an Intrepid will be for sale after that. Faux carbon fiber trim on those pieces.

Before:





After/Now:







Here's the Taupe/Light Taupe dash with real wood trim....ready to go in.



The amplifier components and 12" sub:

Finally got the Zalman cased HTPC running reliably. The downside...had to buy a new MoBo/CPU/RAM combo. On the plus side should up the selling price a bit. Can also sell the original MoBo/CPU/RAM to recoup some of the cost.

Here's the latest in it:

Works well with the touch screen etc. Did a little Overclocking testing... got 4.3Ghz on stock cooling with no voltage changes on a 3.5Ghz Dual Core AMD Black Kaveri CPU! It's back to stock at 3.5Ghz now.

Here she is! Got an Avermedia Dual Tuner HDTV card in there for recording 2 HDTV channels. And a WiFi N card to cut the cord. 4Gb DDR3 RAM. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Only has a DVD Burner in it right now. Haven't decided whether I should install a BD-ROM or BD-RE for Blu-Ray playback/burning. Thoughts?

Plenty of room for add-in cards.Need to head over to storage and find one of my PCI Firewire cards to get the front panel Firewire Jack working. Not that anyone uses Firewire anymore unless you have an old Sony Camcorder!

Here's the "hidden" ports. Hinged front cover at the bottom of the front case.

Headphone, Microphone, Firewire, 2x USB 2.0, Memory Card Reader for different formats.




Did i mention 7" Touch Screen? Heh.

Room for another 4 hard drives in the two cages. MoBo has a total of 8 SATA ports.

250Gb HDD for the OS and a 1Tb HDD for Data/Media storage installed. No SSD as this a Media Center HTPC. Although 120Gb SSD are pretty cheap now or even a 240Gb SSD for the OS. Doubt it would make much of a difference in selling price so I'll nix that option!

Recording NFL Football right now and another HDTV program at the same time on the Internal Dual HDTV tuner. Just about ready for listing on CL. Don't think I want to deal with Ebay due to the size of this thing in it's shipping box and the weight.

The Vizio 60" 4k "Smart" HDTV is awesome! It's got several "Apps" on it like Netflix, Amazon, iHeart, etc. No need for a Roku or WD External Android box for the Apps. Up scales 1080p to UltraHD. All for under $1k! That included Delivery and free setup. Didn't have to do a thing. 2 guys came out to the house and unpacked it, set it on the table and verified it worked without any dead pixels, etc. Thanks to Amazon!

Built-in WiFi and also a wired RJ-45 Network connection if needed. With my Apple Airport Time Capsule...Netflix loads shows within 2 seconds and no hiccups while playing HD shows. So I don't think I'll need the wired network connection.

Netflix is supposed to have 4k HDTV service. Still checking into that.

Swapped out a 1.5Tb HD for a 3Tb unit in my NAS Tower. Transferring data now. Adding another 1.5Tb HD to the pool of used Hard Drives For Sale soon.

Long time no see!

Yes Zalman makes some good stuff.

Putting the finishing touches on it to sell locally on Craigs List as a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit HTPC. Think I'll put a Blu-Ray drive in it to up the selling price. Add Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 for a complete solution.

AMD R6 On-board graphics in the HTPC Supposed to be 4 Graphics Cores in there besides the 2 CPU cores. Running the VGA front panel touch screen and an HDMI output to a Giant-Azz HDTV.

Also has two full length PCI-E x16 slots to add video cards of your choice if desired. Also a couple of standard PCI slots open. It's a full size ATX MoBo so plenty of room for expansion.

Almost time to set up my "new" HP Proliant DL380 Server. Haven't decided what OS to put on it. Server 2008 or Server 2012. Decisions...decisions!
 
#8,263 ·
Got an early Intel Mac Mini ready to setup as a Server. Just got the software in and a 750gb HD. Should be good enough to make a modest profit on this setup. The Mac/Apple crowd loves to pay a premium for this crap as they're Clueless!

Setting up a brand new XC Mini Barebones systems I got cheap. T9600 Daul Core 2.8Ghz...2Gb DDR2 and a 120Gb HD. Win 7 to Win 10 Upgrade. Should make a few $$$ of it.

Anyone interested in a brand new in sealed package Apple 3Tb Airport Express Time Capsule? Figure $290 shipped for DI folks.

Dual Band. 3 port Gigabyte Router.






Whoa! I had the price listed above at $390...changed it to $290 as it should've been.
