how do you go about inserting cd's/dvd's in your pc when it's on its side :lol:

[Elvio Neto]

rhythmtech you hardrive may stop working some day

the harddrives are not prepared to work on the side :)

[findthesolution]

Just added a Trigger Finger to my setup.

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah a PC on its side is REALLLLLYYYY not advisable, and i cant see why anyone would want to put it on its side anyway. As stated hardrives are designed to operate in a vertical position, as are CD-ROMS and disk drives.

[RDR]

It doesnt make any difference to the hard drive which position its in except upside down possibly...

Circuit boards dont really care what kind of an angle they are in... CDROMs can be used on their side, they often have clips to retain the disk... (Playstation, XB360????????????)

The only thing is that cases that are designed to support the wegith on their feet may sufferfrom warping...

Of course somone will now chip in with a counter argument.

[RDR]

i cant see why anyone would want to put it on its side anyway


So it can go into a rack mount... just like all the older g4 towers were designed to do... as are rackmount PCs...

[eyeswithoutaface]

i stand corrected, said the man in the orthapaedic shoes

i guess my college course WAS just a waste of time afterall :(

[stjohn]

also the tubes on the tweeters on the Alesis Mk2's are advised to be on the outside of your audio triangle.... or so the manual says.

Jesus who died and made us in charge of the world?

:cool: :lol:

[Mindful]

yeah and cacti are not supposed to go on top of moniters as they dont like your music
and your curtains are shit

[dan the acid man]

and all those cables on the floor could trip up a spider

[rounser]

also the tubes on the tweeters on the Alesis Mk2's are advised to be on the outside of your audio triangle.... or so the manual says.
Those ones are designed to be on their side?
Monitors on side = phasing problems usually, as I understand it.

[RDR]

The alesis can be put on their side.

Uli Behringer?

If your talking about the Controller. It`s simply amazing. Great price, great build. It`s been with me in my live PA set up internationally for just over a year and I`ve had no problems no breakages, it responds quickly and has enough knobs and sliders to allow me to do the job proiperly.

If you are talking about the little valve unltragain, then also, it`s great, The Luna Mic already sounds like silk anyway, as it is a vintage style mic, but with the little tube gain, it sounds even more silky. Really nice.

Behringer stuff is hit and miss, you either have to go by a honest reputation or get a try before you buy.

Luckily I still got a few mates in pro studio`s so I get the lowdown on stuff from people I really trust.

As for the Absolute 2`s. I simply wouldn`t use anything else. When the NS10`s became defunct, the Absolute 2`s became almost the new industry standard in studios. Thing is it takes about 6 months of use to wear the drivers in, as they tend to be a little tight at first, and not too accurate in the bass area.
I just found a new pair on ebay and bought em for a mate who was desperate for some. I tested them to make sure they were ok, and they were still as new, so the drivers were too tight, as is typical.
Poor geezer has gotta wear em in now.

Uli Behringer is the CEO's name... he looks like a right tit n all...

I did say the jury was out, i wasnt dissing it.. not a t all, was asking your opinion steve.

Might well invest in one of them behringer things then...

;)
