My current weblog.
Saturday, September 28, 2002I fired up my old Compaq Proliant 2500R yesterday, using it to strip the commercials and re-mux some television programs that I want to archive. I had never realized just how much of an impact MMX and SSE have. My PIII 733 desktop machine can strip and re-mux at about 1.5x real-time. The Compaq's pair of PPro 200s need about 8x real-time. Yow.
I'm looking to get rid of some excess gadgets, figure that I'll give my weblog readers first shot at them.
- Rio Car: 30GB, MkIIa, SN 040104084
- Rio Car Tuner Module: AM/FM Radio Tuner w/ RDS, SN 2811700004909
What the heck is a Rio Car? It's an in-dash MP3 head unit. It runs Linux, making it the ultimate automotive accessory for Geeks. It is extremely user-friendly and has fewer buttons than most stock head units, non-Geeks will not have any trouble using it.
The Rio Car was discontinued by SonicBlue in December, and they've pulled all of the product information pages. RioCar.org maintains an extensive FAQ containing everything you might possibly want to know.
Both of these items are "spares", opened but never used. All original packaging and materials are included. $1000 or best offer.
