So I just graduated from university and I decided to treat myself to some new gear as a reward for all my hard work. I think I am close to having my perfect setup.
So I bought .....
Technics 1200's in near mint condition
Shure m44-7's
Slipmats
Shure cartridge case
A&H Xone 62, 2 x X1's, A6, Sony MDR V-700's
Nice, are those original black 1200s or have they been resprayed?

They are original. The close up pick may look a lil dark because of an Instagram filter. One has had the rca's replaced, other than that its all original spec. Very clean tables.

^^ Nah not original pressings. I have an original pressing of each that are quite well used so i was buying these to replace them and keep the originals from any more useage. But the 'Your Love' came as a dodgy pressing and i'm having issues with having it replaced from ChemicalRecords. Not happy!
Aww.
Still…kinda nice. And awesome at having the originals. I'm a bit young for that.
My newest addition…A ridiculous overkill Hackintosh…'cuz OMG PC hardware is cheap:

Prices listed have apparently gone up some. The GT640 isn't quite working right, but I'll deal with it.
On OS X 10.8.2. Everything appears to work okay so far, but I haven't actually tested Maschine & Pro Tools yet because I've been troubleshooting the graphics card weirdness. It's probably something simple that I missed.
Pictures to follow once I get everything cleaned up.
