You know some simple Nikkor AF-S zoom lenses can cost like 8800 SLI (geeks dimension costs in terms of computer hardware lol), and that's not even a telephoto or macro. Silly thing like a tripod.. oh.. it *must* be carbon fiber !.. if its heavy, guess who gets to carry the damn thing around.. And I love the justification too... "when I get a gig (usually a birthday party for some rich family), I get to earn about $500 for three hours of work"... "ya... never mind that your latest DX upgrade.. body only... cost me how much??" lol

Hey.. did you use one or two orders of Akasa Paxmate in that case ? It says that its "extremely difficult" to remove, which worries me a little because I tend to over-do things and then find out that I would need to remove some lol

On your optical box, do you use an eSata, USB2 or 1394/2 connection to the computer ? I dig Plextors.

Where are you.. So Cal, S. Barbara, Monterey, SF/Valley, Sacramento/Reno, Portland, Seattle ?

I hear you. These lenses are a novelty item. You can never have enough of it until you bought the entire collections. I told myself enough is enough after I collected 4 lenses. But I still don't have a wide angle and need one. Or is that a "want"? Speaking of carbon fiber tripod, I don't have it either, yet.

I ordered 2 sets of Paxmate and ended up using 1 1/2 of it for this case. The glue they use is very sticky and on most surfaces, it's very difficult to remove without making a mess. If you intend to use it, I'd suggest plan it carefully.

That Lian Li EX-127 has USB 2.0 connection only to the PC. With this new build, I utilized all the USB ports in the back, on a 5-port hub, and even 1 of the port on the 30".
