Kilbot’s review
This has been our lounge room media server for the last couple of years. It’s currently running Vista, but would do a lot better under XP. The existing motherboard, cpu and ram is dated by today’s standards; ideally you would wack in a super quiet mother board, connect it to a widescreen tv and have the media server from hell. The Lian Li case cost $400 alone and has room for 12 hard drives.

For Sale - 2 RTR Speakers (sold)

Speakers

Kilbot’s review
My favourite fuck-off speakers. Three years ago I spent $600 to get the bass speakers re-coned. Since then they have seen some good times … they’ve also seen off three amps. As a disclaimer, they are not 100% when pushed and would love a look at by a professional, but for the price you are going to pick these up they are well worth it.

For Sale - Futon Bed/Couch thing

Kilbot’s review
Sorry about the spots on those photos, it must have been raining or something. Hmmm, what can I say about this bed… ummm, it’s great… not that I would know, because I always preferred to sleep in the closet standing up. It’s pretty much as new… and anyway, it’s going to be for your guests as a guest bed because it folds into a couch see…

For Sale - Bedside Draws & Clothes Hutch (sold)

For Free - This Desk

Kilbot’s review
This very desk that I’m sitting at right now is free. The only catch is that you have to come pick it up. Laptop, monitor and vodka not included, but that little wire thing in the back corner is also free.

Also For Free

  • Two person dome tent with blow up mattress (gone to Fabian, be quick!)
  • Trestle table and 3.5m of carpet (yes you must take the carpet)
  • Sunbeam Cafe Press (it’s not a sandwich maker, it’s memorabilia!)
  • Two lamps
  • Soccer boots, worn twice
  • Various folders, trays and holders that might be useful in an office

    Hi there, I am Rachael, as in Nicola’s old house mate (kiwi girl, curly hair, came to Meredith with y’all). I like the drawers and the clothes hutch. How much are you asking for them? I could come get them this afternoon if deal is struck..

    So you’re whoring out your trestle table just to marry off your ugly step-daughter of a carpet huh? Classy…

    Yeah, no shit.

    Welcome back to blogging K-bot. Am I to take it you’ll be posting regularly, or is this merely a temporary vehicle for crass mercantile shenanigens?

    BAH!!!

    Don’t anyone buy anything from this cunt.

    That ’servebot’ is nothing but a glorified egg timer!!! Except without the timer function; just a piercing beep the moment you touch it.

  5. FDB says:

    Sure, I did get it free, along with a bunch of other cool shit, and the hard drives have a terabyte of painstakingly stolen media on them, and I’ve got a spare motherboard to put in it to solve the problem, and it’s a lovely sturdy frame…

    But still. It’s the principle of the thing.
