Woah..I've heard you mention the rock collection before..didn't know it was THAT big though...ever heard of MP3s ?  lol

I kid though, sometimes you just want a hard copy .

[Lady medusa]

Oh boy where to start? Um i collect dragons of all sorts, my main ones are mcfarlene dragons, windstone editions, random hamilton dragon collections. I also collect realistic models and sculpts of cetaceans, fossils and certain exotic minerals. To top off my list i have a large live animal collection . I have a 95gal marine tank with fish and corals and i have a large number of reptiles; mainly snakes.

Oh thats awesome! When i move im goin to be upgrading to a 120g. This time im goin to build a crazy rockscape and use only LED lights. Ive found some cheap awesome reef LEDs that are by a hydroponics company. I did have 2 marine tanks(2x95g) one was fish only and one was a reef but a few months ago my reef tank busted! Like entire front glass GONE!! So i had to combine the two . lost 90% of the reef tank animals! I have 1 acropora and several soft corals left but the rest are toast!

As for snakes, no pythons but id love to have a whitelip python and a viper boa!
I mainly have kings, gophers(pines), and exotic rat snakes. I have a few lizards too! My green basilisks are my babies!

I think I'm still one of those old-fashioned folks that prefer physical copies instead of digital files when it comes to listening to music..... I'm more into extreme underground stuff but I also enjoy regular doses of mainstream, commercialized music too....

keep those long until Cds are a thing of the distant past, and all those might be worth something.

I also collected BIONICLE!!!!!


EheleK


Malum and Strakk


Tuma and the raptor like Skirmax

[Roktman]

For me, besides dinosaur kits, I also build sci-fi and real space models as well as figure kits. I also have a decent collection of fossils and meteorites.

I like the Country Artist sculptures too...especially the dogs. Why only half heartedly?

What caused the glass to break?  I use to keep tropical fish.  I did have the heater go out and raise the water temperature drastically.  I lost a lot of fish then.  I also had problems when the Air Conditioning in the house went out for several days.

For me I think physical copys are best.  I've lost music before when my computer went out.

Because most of the CA sculpts I like are either retired or far too expensive. However, I was able to get some of favorite pieces: the large siamese walking and laying, and the mother fox and her sitting pup. I was only able to get those from buying wholesale from a UK dealer, who no longer carries CA stuff.

I gotta admit, collecting VGA and sound cards is pretty unusual Do you use any of them in PC builds?

[Tylosaurus]

It's very common where I come from here's my club:

And that is just a small part, it also depends what you collect, Engineering Samples, Prototypes, Development Kits, Preview Reference Boards and Very Limited Editions increase in value quite rapidly.

Thanks for taking such effort to answer my question, Tylosaurus. I believe I'm using the same Lian Li tower case as you...I think?


The fan grill is in desperate need of a dusting

The setup I'm using


BTW, nice Tux plush.

haha sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! Great to see another Lian Li user here!  nice rig there! Yeah the Lian Li I use for Firefox SMP 2006 is a Lian Li PC-7FN + Side Window which I bought separately for it, that is because the Lian Li PC-7 FNW was sold out rofl!

What's your specs btw?

The setup of my main systems on the network looks like this:
