A subsequent article gets into surgery to repair the laptop I'm using. The thinking beyond that is that I would use it as the audio server for tracks for live.
However ... let's review.
How about I continue with the fix ... and then sell it. That should generate around enough to replace the speaker cabinets which have been blowed up real good for some while. It's the same deal as most of the stuff here in that it's degraded but not destroyed. The amps will frequently overheat and shutdown. Therefore, the target is a Thump 1000-watt amp with a 15" bottom. That would be about $700.
However, this is an ethical problem so I will talk to the People of the Future as that money could also be used to give back some of what brings the new used computer here. It's a short statement but an important one. More to come on that.
(Ed: what will you do with all that power in that small room?)
The answer is not use most of it. The lower you run the kit, the cleaner it will be, almost invariably. This spec also has the power to go out to the porch. These Texans know about a hoe-down but they don't know nothin' about a hippie happening. Get Donika out there dancing and maybe some of her friends doing their bellydance and getting their wobbly, wobbly moves on. When you get into this part of the game, everybody has got somethin' wobbling so go out there and shake it, wobble it or whatever you want to do. This really would be, with help, feasible. What makes it highly tripful is that it could go out over the Internet to take it global. No tellin' who would watch but it wouldn't be hard to do.
A space problem comes into it as the other ones don't go unless they are entirely deceased as I would use them for listening to online shows. Clipping really will destroy speakers and sometimes that happens so best to use the new speakers only for my own performance. The question is then where the hell would you put them. Note importantly that the only important subjects in the video are the guitarist and the instrument. The identity of the guitarist is not important, he's only necessary to explain how the guitar is doing it. Anything else is confounding unless I have done it deliberately. In other words, musical crap all over the place screws the shoot.
To serve my tracks to the mixer does not require a computer as any player can do that. Many people use an MP3 player but I don't recommend that approach. An MP3 file is already compressed and it will be compressed again in the transmission to Second Life. That music still sounds good after doing that to it isn't just incredible, it's a fookin' miracle. What I want is something that would, for small dollars, serve up higher-resolution audio files. When they're going to be compressed, you need to serve up the best stuff you can.
Most people reading don't need this information but some of you do. That's the magic of scrolling.
Update: good point raised. It would have been good if I had considered the nicotine poisoning inside the computer. That's sticky goo and no chance it can be removed with an air gun or so. Therefore, no sale.
I could sell it with the understanding 'you know this thing is nicotine poisoned' but that means a beating on the selling price and no value in that. Better to keep it.

Removing the optical drive won't solve the problem of tar/nicotine and other debris connected with using the touchpad as a joint-rolling-table. So guess the question is if asking money for the thing is that ethical.
Yep, fair point. Scratch that idea.
