I just finished this yesterday. Based on an original design that I built in college, this is an LED lightshow that plugs into any audio source. (I have it on top of our home entertainment system, so it shows whatever we're listening to or watching.)
The display is divided vertically into left and right channels. It displays the top half of the waveform of each channel with their zero levels in the center. The two knobs control the amplitude and the sweep speed.
When set to the right speed, a strong bass note will show up as a floating red bubble. A note an octave up will be two bubbles. Notes inbetween will be a series of bubbles floating up or down the display. Of course, all the other frequencies are in there, too, so you get a much more complicated display, but the bass tends to be the most prominent. Dynamics from drums, etc. cause the width to pulse. It all ends up being quite hypnotic.
The box... well, it's just a black box I built with a plexiglass front. Suggestions for a sexier box are welcome!
Here's the link to see the box in action:

Okay so i may as well join in. I don't have a huge setup but i try and make the most of what I've got. After all I'm only 19, I will most definitely acquire more gear as time progresses.

Same thing as Adam Gahan, I don't have a huge analog setup but I'm glad to have what I have
(plus some small synths, like monotrons, Casio VL-Tone, etc).
I do that kind of things with those :

Bits and bobs
Pictures taken during exercising my hobby (electronics) and building/disassembling amplifiers and/or upgrading a record player tonearm and pre-amplifier. Anyway, a text was needed, to describe this lot, and here it is (the text and the lot, enjoy the pictures :)).

History of DIY audio
Audio DIY came to prominence in the 50s to 60s, as audio reproduction was relatively new and the technology "complex," audio reproduction equipment, and in particular high performance equipment, was not offered at the retail level. Kits and designs were available for consumers to build their own equipment. Famous vacuum tube kits from Dynaco, Heathkit, and McIntosh, as well as solid state (transistor) kits from Hafler allowed for consumers to build their own hi fidelity systems. Books and magazines were published which explained new concepts regarding the design and operation of vacuum tube and (later) transistor circuits.
While audio equipment has become easily accessible in the current day and age, there still exists an interest in building one's own equipment, including amplifiers, speakers, preamplifiers, and even CD players and turntables. Today, a network of companies, parts vendors, and on-line communities exist to foster this interest. DIY is especially active in loudspeaker and in tube amplification. Both are relatively simple to design and fabricate without access to sophisticated industrial equipment. Both enable the builder to pick and choose between various available parts, on matters of price as well as quality, allow for extensive experimentation, and offer the chance to use exotic or highly labor-intensive solutions, which would be expensive for a manufacturer to implement, but only require personal labor by the DIYer, which is a source of satisfaction to them.

There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
Coming in the front entrance and hanging a left down the first aisle (at least, I *think* this is the very first aisle), this is the view one would encounter. I kind of like those big overhead signs, but I feel certain the style as seen here is going to be changing, at least a little bit...

I had an eye accident when during my young age which eventually led to a traumatic cataract in my right eye. In spite the operation and lens implant, never regained a perfect vision.
I was once told - you don't have to use your left eye when you want to use the viewfinder... Well now you know why. :)

This is what a notebook computer looks like in 2013. It's more commonly referred to as a notebook than a laptop. The first computer that I could remember was an Intel 386 back in the late 80's in Hong Kong. I've seen the explosion of the Internet along with the rise and fall of the phone line modems peaking at 56k speeds. I remember 13 years ago when AMD broke the 1GHz barrier with their Athlon. There was a time when CPU's could just be passively cooled. The emergence of wireless Ethernet was at times painful, but welcomed. This little machine with a diagonal of 11.6" no thicker than an inch is definitely more powerful than anything that I've cobbled together with parts. Quite nice to have so much computing power in a rather small package. The next technology improvement that I'm really looking forward to is for the widespread adoption of 300dpi LCD screens.
