I left my rack and proliants with the divorce :rain:
 
haha! If I didnt have a wife, a 3 y.o, another on the way, and a super agressive retirement plan (by 55, Im 34), I would. I sold all my high(er) end AV stuff a few years ago and dropped back to the AV receiver instead or seperates (Adcom amp/pre/surround processor etc).

Ok, I figured it out...I am jealous! :p
