So i'm thinking of selling my voodoo envy u709...

well, i've gone done got another expensive hobby and now i am in need of "funds" that are below my wife's radar...

thinking of selling my voodoo u709...
any thoughts on what i should sell it at on ebay?

geesh, been so long i really don't recall the specs.

thanks.

i would hold out for $600 plus shipping if its running alright. Not that its worth that but that's the minimum id part with mine for if i was in the market to sell it.

Damn you Ape...

bluurry, you still want it?
i can hold out a bit more... sorry i could not get back to you sooner.

I can't afford it at this point. I'm actually having a hard time selling the omen and Rage. But I think I will let go the HeXx....

/ Ador, get in here lol

What's the new hobby, king?

got it in my dumb head that i can make and work on a cnc router...

hahaha!

here's the build thread...

Well, that would not have been my first guess of middle-age crisis hobbies, but whatever works for you!

Im interested in anything that is interesting so what else can you tell me about your u709?

and blur I'd be interested in your hexx if your looking for a new home for it.

lemme get the specs out and let you know over the weekend.

Nice CNC build....

One of these days I want to build a 3d printer.

One of these days, I would like to build a lot of things, but none of them are likely to happen. This is the one that I keep flirting with, but it is a pretty expensive hobby to get in to:

Nothing as practical as Hong's new hobby, I suppose, but still!

And here I was thinking king had a new balisong collection going or something. Mind you, that would be highly illegal in the state of New York.

Iago: That looks terribly cool. Prohibitively pricey?

Something tells me that Hong might be very familiar with legalities in New York!


Seamaster: The more advanced and fancier model kits go for several hundreds of dollars. The one that I posted the picture of is one that I was considering as part of a "Entry-Level Combo" that Nature's Coast offers, including all tools and books that you would need to get into the hobby. The combo goes for a not-inconsiderable $329. To show you where things can go, here is an advanced level kit of the H.M.S. Surprise that goes for a cool $700:

Seamaster:

i actually used to have a balisong... but back in the days, we called it a butterfly knife... lol?

Iago:
that is one amazing build!
i would also love to build something like that... but i think that requires a TON of patience...
i could actually use my cncrouter to rout out some parts for it... hmmmmmmmm

oh, and btw, yea, i saw kits go from $100 to upwards of $900

but i also heard the well built ones sell for a couple of grand...

See, I knew that post was not off-topic -- you managed to return it to CNC routers!


I have done paper models for years, which require extraordinary patience. Some of the bigger ones that I did took 3-6 months to complete. I kind of burned myself out on them, though, which is why I thought about trying something different. I love wooden ships, so that seemed natural. The tough part with the entry price to the hobby is, what if it turns out that I suck at at? $300 is a bit much to drop on trying and failing. But I will probably try it sooner or later.

I'd be willing to drop $300 to test a hobby I thought I might like. I did just that to figure out if I'd enjoy flying RC helicopters. I got my money's worth.

Yeah, I will do it sooner or later.

Dam I am head deep in work stuff in getting my passport right, then jump into a engine swapping frenzy in the 52 ford and this pops up. lol.

Anyway back for right now. Went from the 250 six to 292/312 Y block back to six, back to the Y block and now firmly bolted in and everything is matching up so it will work with out at on of fab work is the roller cam 302 and FMX.

so are you picking up the U709, I would but at the moment all my funds are going into bullshit expenses (well maybe not).

I would have to see what He want's for it and how much I have left to play with. Bought a lot of stuff for the 52 over the last week. I should have it fired up in a few more days.

Now what is this I hear about a HEXX?

I have sold one to Max Carnage....hahaha

I have another I would have to get rid of it currently housing a MSI K8N Diamond Plus 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboard (the fan is going bad on the northbridge I have a replacement but never got around to changing it out), with Opteron 185 with stock amd fan(i might have the box somewhere), nvidia evga 7950gt with zalman fan, currently has 3 640gb hdd 2.5 harddrives(but those I will keep), seasonic psu(not modular). Can't think of anything else. Currently serving as a home server with MS homeserver 2011.

How much not sure.
