I'll take a picture of me wearing it for you clendrix ;)
It's mostly covered in paint though, so only about half brown these days.

@ Kaol - if I told you, I'd have to kill you...

@ PoD - You'll probably get a better bang for your buck going with a passive mixer and active speakers. Makes the upgrade paths a bit more straightforward (because once you get speakers, the main thing you want will be MORE SPEAKERS), plus will generally be slightly better quality cos of the target market...

For good powered speakers on the cheap look at the Studiospares Fortissimo range: they come out of the same Chinese factory as a lot of other OEM plastic speakers, but without so much markup... (like the Wharfedales, they're the usual identikit Chinese OEMs but they charge a premium because they bought the name of a British hifi manufacturer that was good 30 years ago)

dB Technologies and RCF are also worth a look.

Mixer wise there's plenty for not much money, just think about what you want to plug into it and add about 30% to future proof yourself.

Don't buy anything with the word Behringer on it, it's the ultimate false economy.

If you throw me a few more details on type of music, size of rooms you'll use it in, what's being plugged into it, budget etc etc etc I'm sure I can find you something suitable.
