It’s not about possessions, its just audiophile stuff.

He probably has a friend who has an interest in retrocomputing to the point where he posts about his friend's rigs and sometimes even lies about their specifications by using stock photos of hardware he and his friend don't really have. (sarcasm)

Maybe but my theory is that every forum has at least one - delete their account and another shall appear - and in the scheme of things this guy is harmless from what I've seen. I.e. not malicious like some we've experienced in the past.

There's no way he's trolling. He said explicitly in the opening post that he built it over the weekend. I think there was just some confusion about the "Its not about possessions, its just audiophile stuff", which I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that.

That aside, this machine is kinda a neat tribute to Turtle Beach, I guess? I just can't see much use for that many cards from that many different generations in one system. Maybe if you were using their older, pro-grade recording cards and some old-school audio production software, that would have seemed more appropriate.

I just think it is nice to be able to put old sound cards to use by manufactures in one computer.
I don’t want to have to build a single computer for every sound card or video card.
If I can consolidate them into one computer I will.

Turtle beach had some good software for there sound cards.
