The Noble Shift Gear List
12 Mar 2018, Posted by in Art, Trade CraftI’ll probably do an update once a year after this as things will break and change, I’m sure.
I’m only including the tools I intend to use to make Noble Shift a successful Internet Media Enterprise not any actual tools like spanners or drills.
I BOUGHT ALMOST ALL OF THIS GEAR FROM GOODWILL, CRAIGSLIST, ONE DUDE I KNEW AT WORK AND THE DUMP. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY NEW GEAR …. I HAVE LESS THAN $2000 TOTAL INVESTED HERE IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS – THAT’S IT
It’s super important for me to tell you all I bought almost all of this gear from Goodwill, Craigslist, one dude I knew at work and The Dump. You DON’T have to buy new gear. Very very little of this is brand new, and then most of that is from Amazon. I am having a ball learning all of this, and I have very little invested, and I’ve done it over the course of 2+ years. Is there more stuff I would like and or actually need? Yup of course there is (gimbals) but that’s not the point. The point is to accomplish my goals of getting this thing off the ground. And this will all do for now.
Keep in mind I have less than $2000 total invested here in less than 3 years – that’s it., This includes any buses, trains, or Ubers used to get back and forth to purchase the items and any drinks or food that may have been bought as well. Some of these outings took me me several hours to accomplish, on foot/bus, in strange areas of town… Your results may vary.
The laptops and the hard drives are included in this list because they were purpose speced and bought since I’m going mobile, and creating all of this on them. The loose drives are left over from the NAS (its gone!) and various bits.
HOW IN THE WORLD COULD YOU DO ALL OF THIS YOU MIGHT ASK …. THE SHORT OF THE MATTER IS SACRIFICE AND SELF DENIAL, PLANNING, AND PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LONG TERM GOAL(S) – ALWAYS.
How in the world could you do all of this you might ask.
I’m going to cover that in a future post, but the short of the matter is sacrifice and self denial, planning, and paying attention to the long term goal(s) – always.
These are Amazon affiliate links, meaning if you buy the item using one of the links below, I will receive a tiny bit of each transaction.
And while it will make me a tiny bit of money,
I sincerely hope you take my advise and buy used & local whenever possible
