are you a real v300maniac?

Post by Duvel78 » 25 Dec 2004 01:07 am

I was wondering if I was the only one doing "crazy things", for example using VOLVO 300 speakers for the computer :roll:

I also have used a comfortable Volvo 360 GLT seat to work on my desk in my bedroom :oops:

haha that is a bit crazy! ;) Putting them speakers to use though! I did actually think that a GLT seat would be good as a computer chair.. certainly better for your back than most!! Do you have a pic of it? :D

I'm accidentally using the P.V.C document wallet (ya know, with the manual and service book in) as a coaster on my desk atm... Does that count? :D

Wow... I particulalry like the 'High Power' statement... What's that, like 1200w PMPO? sm9

Nah, I think I'll stick to watts RMS, so about 5 then :P

They are linked up to my hi-fi, making a total of 7 speakers, so when I'm sat infront of the PC, I get left and right sound, crisp and clear, not from one speaker in one corner of the room being closer than the other etc.

Boxes of Volvo bits everywhere, manuals, brochures, oh and several 360's outside. Hmmm, Volvo Maniac......... Volvo lunatic, gone past maniac stage!

Aymat, 800 x 600 screen resolution indeed, well spotted! Glad you feel better. Wouldn't mind a set or two of the rear speakers, not seen many! Pete

My rear speakers are the old model, with a HUGE and heavy magnet (which is the explanation for the HIGH POWER, LOL)

I could've leaned a little further forward to include another 360 just in view, but that would be taking things too far, don't you think?!?! sm53 sm87

LOL, glad it's amused you both! Couldn't resist after Specials comment! sm17
Well done Steve, I see Aymat has rewarded you with a moderators position! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and have a very Volvo 300 Maniac-like new year.
