Oooh....look what i just bought

[sohcrates]

This is called impulse shopping

I saw it rather affordably @ compusa and just had to get it.

I love dancing lights!

It's a "NewQ Platinum"

 

[N8Magic]

What does it do? (besides look like a car stereo on top of your monitor?)

 

[sohcrates]

It's (in no particular order)

1) An Equalizer
2) An FM radio
3) Lots of dancing lights....

newq.com

I used to have the internal Newq Platinum, but I returned it cause it was boring after a while

 

[Supermercado]

Yes, that is definitely what I would call "impulse shopping."

i'm bored with it already, but hey, i like stuff like this...

edit: it's got a remote too! so i *guess* you could use to to remotely control the volume of your stereo if you needed such a thing...

which audi is that on your desktop?

 

[vi edit]

how much does a newfangled doohicky like that cost?

It'd be nice to have an FM tuner for my PC, but I'm not about to pay $100+ for it.

[sohcrates]

what do you mean "does mp3s?"

it responds to anything you input through it...

edit: note: it *is* still a waste of money though

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

It looks.... well... out of place.

 

[Kelvrick]

It looks like it slides into that storage thingy. Can you fit it into a 5.25 bay?

Is the Remote IR or radio?

you can buy an internal version which sits in a 5.25 bay

the remote is IR

 

[SHoddyCOmp]

I believe ther is an internal version, or atleast something like that that can go into a 5.25'' bay. Not 100% sure though.

Edit- oops too late, but i was right though. How about that!

 

[Kelvrick]

I always wanted a graphics equilizer in my computer, but then... I wouldn't spend 80 bucks on one. I might even ahve gotten it if the remote was radio... I already have an IR remote. Oh well.

how old is that Gateway monitor?

Then you want this. I am getting one myself since I have no room to set up my stereo until I move.

 

[Maleficus]

i got my Newq Platinum for ~$50. It's a nice radio and i get to control everything easy and upfront, headphone and mic jacks are right there. The remote is an added bonus and it has lots of nifty little features.

I wouldn't pay normal price for it though.
