content: If you're after a single print, might I recommend the oldChart of Electromagnetic Radiations. I have a huge one at home and a smaller one at work (as does Dave).Although ordering from Imagekind is expensive, wait until the sales are on. I saved 50% during Labor Day.If you want to print them yourself, there are links to various files in the threadsHEREandHERE.If you're looking for more of a "whole room" approach, I absolutely love whatthis guyhas done.

content: I've gotten both paper and metal prints of some the various macro photos of gear that I've taken. The metal prints (printed on thin sheets of aluminum) are nice in that they are ready to hang; the paper ones must be mounted and framed.Here are some examples:Prints (20 x 30"; ~50 x 75 cm) before matting and framing:Framed tube and wire wrapped backplane prints (It's tough to get good photos of them in the frames due to the reflections):Following are metal printsTubes in an OTL audio amplifier; print is 12 x 24":Detail of above, showing corner and how the mount stands it off the wall slightly:Photo of a Dynaco ST-70 clone amplifier; print is 12 x 18":Photo of a box of carbon comp resistors (11 x 14"):There are a few more that I haven't gotten to hang yet; one of these years I'll get to it.-Pat

content: Some additional info - the mounted paper prints were done on by Adoramapix in NYC on a gloss Kodak 'metallic' paper. Photos of them don't do them justice; they really do seem to have a glow to them. <edit to add - I bought the frames and mats separately and did the paper print mounting myself - I think you can also get them pre-framed, but then they'll be big bucks.>The metal ones can be had in various finishes ranging from matte white to gloss silver; the Dynaco one is gloss silver, IIRC, and the OTL tubes are printed on a matte white, as are the resistors. The metal ones have come from either Adorampix, BJ's Photo or a company called Aluminyze. These likely won't be much good to you folks down under, but I'm sure there are similar photo printing companies there, too. (Search for something along the lines of 'aluminum photo prints', or 'metal prints', things like that.) The aluminum ones seem expensive until you stop to consider that you don't need to buy a frame and mat, and go to the trouble of mounting them. They're still $$, but that makes the cost a bit easier to justify. That and I wait until they have specials on them; sign up for the coupons and they will occasionally have 35-45% off sales, and some do a first order discount.-Pat
