HOOKER Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 my Bitter 1/2 woodnt give up one of her shelves for my/(now our) vape equipment.. (this is a large entertainment center with side cabinet units) & told me to build my own curio cabinet for the vape goods.. now guys when I get that look (& you guys know the look I'm talking about),, my brain went into HMMMMM I CAN DO IT MODE!!!! I'm going to turn my old Baitshop (attic) into my new KEEP the HELL OUTTA HER WAY mancave... this will be an ongoing project & I'll post a ton of pics as it goes.. FEEL FREE to show off your ManCave...
Tam Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Are you planning to put in a small ventilation fan in your new mancave? If you're going to be spending any length of time there and vaping, you're going to want something to vent the vapor...
bcartervol98 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 We have the kids and grandson the upstairs two floors of our house and turned the basement into a "Couple Cave". VapeMama 1

Christopher Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 While I don't have a man cave per say, I do spent half my life at this desk taking complaints...errr suggestions Just swapped out my drives this week for a couple of Samsung SSD's. Highlight of my Monday. joe2003 1
HOOKER Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) nice Christopher,, if that old desk could talk imagine the stories it would tell... glad my Baitshop's old bench/desk cant talk cuz it. would be ALL censored!!! like the kiddos artwork in the background,, I remember our fridge looking like that... Tug's desk on yer screen looks toooooooooo organized!!! Edited March 18, 2015 by HOOKER Christopher 1
HOOKER Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 6 more rolls of insulation ta put in this eve.. Christopher 1
Tam Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 So that's what your set up looks like. Very nice! And I see we both have the same battery back up too. What size SSD did you get? Just recently I went with a 500 gig Samsung. Now, I'm thinking of getting one more and putting them together. Love the speed of boot up not that I ever turn off my tower...
tazl37 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 better than ventilation Tam,, it will have Heat & A/C, running water, small fridge, SmartTV & BUNN Coffee pot... what more could a guy get or want??? Dang are you going to live in there? Lol, is your bitter half gonna ever see you. I sorta have one but its a girl cave no husbands allowed only my little kittens! [emoji3]
tazl37 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Here's my man cave lol It's so neat and tidy! Now I gotta clean mine up b4 I take any pics. My house just isn't big enough for all my different projects I start then get bored with.

Just recently I went with a 500 gig Samsung. Now, I'm thinking of getting one more and putting them together. Love the speed of boot up not that I ever turn off my tower... I picked up a couple of 500gb Samsung 850's. They've come down in price a lot over the last year or two it's incredible. We have a store out here called Fry's which started price matching Amazon. So I hopped my *** down there for a good deal It's amazing how much of a speed boost you gain of them. I already have a pretty beefy system as it is but the SSD's really sped up my startup time. Though my biggest gripe was data transfer. It's not unusual for me to move around 80-100GB worth of data and I got tired of the transfer times. Right now I'm running two internal 500GB SSD's and on the outside you can see the hot swap bays. Those are hold a couple of 1TB hybrid drives. (Nothing fancy) and I've got two more in the locked drawer that are in cases. (Gotta keep backups of the backups) And yup gotta have the APC! It's saved my *** a few times. (I've got a pretty green system and I can pull about 30 minutes off that box alone) HOOKER and Tam 2

I don't know why I bother to put up any resistance since I already bought a 3.5" to 2.5" bay converter that holds two SSDs. Now that I have the OS on the SSD, the data transfer speed is starting to get on my nerves. While my data isn't anywhere as big as yours, Chris, speed does matter. LOL
