"A studio environment is there to be exploited. I don't really hold with these 'all live on 2 decks mixes'. If you want that, go to the gig." - Ben Watt

That being said its a hell of alot of money to spend to sound like absolutely everyone else. Fuck you beatport and juno. <3 secret german places. Seriously everyone downloads the same shit. CDR and Record Delivery > that.
you are so |337

The handles on both my cases broke off in a matter of weeks. They're cheap and not "75lb strong" as advertised. Otherwise I love the double sleeves and page construction. The cases are nice except for that handle shit.
As for the two freaks, yeah, you are the l33test, but I'm also poor.

i dont speak spanish. (dammit @ nach)
clovis nothing wrong with it, just don't call them records because buying them have made us poor.
I'm just a beatport hater lately because some very good dj's I know have turned to run of the mill ones because of it.

It's funny, these days a huge music collection is actually incredibly cheap.
If you were buying actual records you would have spent around $24,000 dollars by now (by my calculations...).
I'm doing a similar thing to you Clovis, I had a whole lot of illegal mp3s, mostly poor quality, and a lot of older music not on the computer. I've been building an mp3 collection, pretty much from scratch, using online music stores.
Ironically, I just finished writing a small article about it before I'd even seen this thread. Read here (link) if you're at all interested.
p.s Agree with whoever said you have nice photos on your website!

Wow what do you do with it? I always throw it, drop it, swing it, and not a problem :S
Did you try putting a 75 lb weight on it? :P

I filled the 1st one with CDs, and picked it up fast and it broke. I broke the 2nd case by picking it up from the handle with the 1st case on top...
