There's always some guy with more or better stuff.  Doesn't matter.

Besides, at some point, not far beyond where you are, the cost:return ratio starts dropping dramatically.  You're getting way more for what you're spending than he probably did.

Very true, once the lights are off, everything looks almost exactly the same.  Dark room with a big picture.

Yesterday I got my SVS subwoofer in the mail.  That thing is huge and makes one heck of a thud.  I could have sworn that the concrete floor was shaking!  I hope the neighbors can't hear it :)



On an arcade related note, I finished rewiring my cabinet last night.  Thankfully, I remembered where everything plugged in and it's up and running again.  Now that the basement is finished, I can get back to playing on the arcade and playing darts again.

Quite nice.  I'm jealous and hopefully will be there in the next year.
