[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 455330, member: 11791"] OK... how creative do you want to be? Are you married to a first-class handy-man, or at least related to one? If so... set up an exercise bike that is designed to charge a battery up. The battery is connected to a power inverter (to turn it into standard household power). He can then use all the power he wants - as long as he runs all of it off the battery. If he wants more power, he has to put in more time on the bike... which doesn't cost YOU a thing (except maybe some extra calories) once you pay for the set-up. The real point in the set-up isn't to reduce the cost of power... its to link power-usage with effort... which automatically limits how much time he can spend with all this stuff turned on. And... back to the electronics store... He needs a smallish mixer board... the kind they use for sound systems. He can plug multiple inputs into the thing, and put all of the outputs to a single set of headphones - he can even control how much of which input gets through. If he has [U]more than one item on, OR if others are being "inconvenienced"[/U], he can be requested to switch to headphones. Right now, that would mean only having one thing on... which, as you see, doesn't quite work. This way, he can have his cake, and you can have your quietness. As long as there is enough $$ around, its amazing the problems that can get solved. But $$ isn't always around when you need it... so these are just left-curve ideas to get your thinking cap primed. WARNING: If you decide to try the mixer/headphone route, you need a pre-arranged signal to get his attention. Like maybe flashing the bedroom light off and on (or on and off, depending...). Because I'll guarentee he will NOT hear you! [/QUOTE]
