Things to do with my IO when I’m not using it?
Ok, Ok…so this isn’t a serious post…but since I got all ramped up when I bought my IO, I haven’t really used it! Maybe it’s because I haven’t bought a deck yet, or my full time gig is taking up ALL of my time…regardless, I’m looking to put it to use some other way until I get a job that will use it.
So here were my initial thoughts:
1) plant, printer, or router stand (or basically anything with “stand” after it!)
2) a night lightOk…so I’ve already run out of ideas…anyone else have any suggestions?

Makes a great night light.

I’m sorry Diggy, but I can’t resist:
By a deck and hook it up…
Hook it up to an NTSC monitor… -
I am almost afraid to ask, but if you bought an AJA I/O – what is your full time gig ?
I hope that you are in the video business, and this is not a hobby for you .Bob Zelin

I’m a car mechanic…and I have a mini DV camera and FCP, so I’m a professional, right?
No, no…just kidding. I work at a post house in DC, I was working nights and I was getting a decent amount of daytime work, so I purchased the IO to start on some uncompressed projects at home. As luck would have it, I was pushed to a daytime spot and now I’ve got my whole setup at home just hanging out! Dual G5, FCP, IO, external SATA array, mixer, event studio monitors, everthing! I literally think just as I plugged in my RAID array I got the phone call: “How would you like to come to a daytime slot?”
Good times indeed, but now I have the equipement paid for…so it could be worse, right? I’ve had quite a few friends get gigs that were going to pay for everything, but the client backs out half way through and they’re stuck with unpaid equipement!

You could use it as a bnc/XLR/optical cable tester.

Could make a great home theater router. A very expensive one, no doubt.
