Nixie clocks seem to be a right of passage. [jkx] sent us something a little different. I’m diggin this one because the russian tube is pretty esoteric. He’s got a few nice looking projects up. (His tube amp is a beauty.) And yeah, there’s a video.
first asshole! ^^^
that is a cool tube, if it were alphanumeric it would make a bitchin status display for a computer. cpu temp, % ram used, email notification, etc.
this would even be cool for games. remaining ammo, armor, health, etc.
i only list things for fps games because those are the only worthwhile games to play. commence flamewar.

Just a note, he says that the picture of the tube amp isn’t his… just an example of what he is aiming for.
Neat ideas though.
