I wanted something sturdy that could carry a few devices and not have to bag them individually. I came up with the idea when I bought a new air rifle and saw the cases I could buy. It looked perfect for groove boxes and such and it came with foam for $20.00, cant beat that. I have a few photos of it but I will take some the next time I get it out of the house and all hooked up.



Just a quick glimpse... The only problem with this is you will get some weird looks going into clubs and what not with a gun case. I was thinking of stenciling something on the outside to make it look not so "NRA" looking.

So I have looked for a cheap answer for protecting my MPC2000 and could not find anything under $100.00. I was cruising the thrift shops with the wife when I found a old early 90's Ricoh fax machine. It was in a travel case, because we all wanted a fax to travel with.. It looked about the right size so I couldn't pass up the $10 price tag and it even came with a fax. So i took it up to the counter and told the lady she can keep the fax to see if she could sell it since all I wanted was the case. Got home and cut some of the foam inside and cleaned it up. This is what it looks like.



Thanks crappy travel fax and Salvation Army.

The Yamaha DX-7 was a buy from a local Fresno guy for a fat $50 daollers. Its in pretty good shape and came with a ROM cartirige. The programing take a collage degree but its worth it since this is the king of FM synths in my opinion.



Casio CZ-101 was a impulse ebay but and I got it cheap.. If fun to throw it around and make some cool sounds on the go. I took it camping one year and made some really cool sounds with it.



My DJ setup consist of Numark TT-500's and a Denon DN-300 mixer. I use Final Scratch ver 1 with a tablet touchscreen PC. Had some problems with the Final Scratch but they all see to be resolved now.

This is a quick look at my cramped little work area. I tried to get the esentials on my desk infront of me, which was hard since im more into hardware then software. Its constinly changing and evolving. I will soon post some pictures of my live rig once my EA-1 gets repaired.
