Cheap yet functional DIY gaming headset Part: Deux.

I got back to work on one of my projects that i talked about in my very first post on this blog. My DIY gaming headset. I stripped my Logitech headset down (which was surprisingly hard!) and set up my new headset to receive the parts and internals from the original, including a flexible boom for the microphone made out of heavy gauge insulated copper wire affixed with epoxy and tape. I am going to finish it up soon.

Gettin' things back on track.

I've been real busy with work and other things. But i got a nice pile of old electronics that i can use for parts among them 2 printers:

an Epson Stylus 800 Color(Parts)

and an NEC Superscript 870 B&W(Save)

1 (very) old CPU running Windows 95', with no marking to tell brand other than "PC Warehouse" on the case and a Creative 24X optical drive. This thing is so old it doesn't even support USB. One thing i do like about it is the little black panel on the front which seems to control the HDD(ya right), with a 3 character LED display that shows a number that i have no idea what it represents, buttons that are labeled "Reset" and "Turbo", and last but not least a strange cylindrical lock on the far right of the panel that appears to give the ability to lock the drive.
