I'm probably near alone but... I don't want anything... then again my iMac is maxed out (except HD) and while my Powerbook can hold more RAM I don't really use it anyway so it's not worth it...

I guess maybe some speakers for my iMac Core Duo but I don't know of any good digital speakers and the ones in the iMac work fine...

Probably just a new, bigger external hard drive, so I can start using my Mini as a media center as well. That's all!

I find it amazing how I want so many things for my mac.

I've got a few things for it already (crumpler sleeve and backpack, radtech screensaverz, and BT mouse)

Things I still want to get include (and in no particular order):
BT keyboard
iCurve
More RAM
Speakers (soundsticks or creatures or kilpsh pro-media)
Apple cinema display

Whats on your list?

i know exactly what you mean...i've got a special bookmark folder called 'what i want' which grows larger and larger by the month with links to all the cool stuff i come across.i'm currently saving up for a summer spending spree.

what i've got- iCurve, BT mouse/keyboard,tucano second sleeve.

What i want this summer:
dell 2405FPW display (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=30906&spagenum=1&category_id=6198&brandid=&k=&c=uk&l=en&cs=ukdhs1&mnf=&prst=&prEnd=&mnfsku=&orderby=&searchtype=&pageb4search=&page=productlisting.aspx&instock=&refurbished=) though am hoping they'll have the 2407 out by the time i get the cash together
1gb ram

I really have everything I need for my iBook G4@800 at the moment

More RAM (got 640MB) and a bigger HD (got 60GB) would be nice, but I cannot justify upgrading either, the cost (of upgrading a two and a half years old laptop) greatly exceeds the gain in efficiency and the value of the machine.

I could maybe use a new workhorse for the heavier part of work (nothing complements an iBook 12" like an iMac 20" ;)), but most of the time I just work with text files and the occasional light Photoshop work, so the iBook is really quite sufficient... :)

Now give me a project involving some heavy Photoshop/3D/Flash/Video and I have to get me the ultimate iBook accessory... :D

Apr 25, 2006, 08:21 AM

Right now I have a M-Audio 49e Keystation, Swiss Gear Synergy backpack and the JBL Duet speakers.

I want:

Airport Extremem Basestation
atleast a 200 GB Ext. HD
iLap
Mighty Mouse (bt :rolleyes: )
ACD (30" :D )
another gb ram
a digital camcorder
M-Audio Nova Microphone
M-Audio USB Interface
Griffin Garageband Guitar Cable
Canon Powershot A530 Digital Camera

What do I want for my Mac? Simple. A New one ;) Not really for a speed increase - more so for a smaller screen, FR, and integrated iSight. And Windows Bootablly.

Oh and I do hope the new MacBooks use that rumored Magnetic latch. I thoroughly hate the tibook latch.

calebjohnston

Apr 25, 2006, 09:21 AM

I'd love a latch that doesn't bend the screen when it's latched down. My mac laptops all develop a little curve on the top corners of the screens because of it.

More RAM and a second display...

Second Display. I just bought my MBP with everything possible, Blue Tooth Keyboard, Mighty Mouse, Timbuk2 Backpack, Creatures II, Icurve, Radtech Sleeve.

me too.. which one do you want? I'm not sure yet if I should shell out the money for the Intuos3 or if I should get the cheaper Graphire4.. actually, I don't really need the mouse that comes with the Intuos...

Phew. Not so sure about this one.
I mean it does look cool - and very friggin useless. :D

Does anybody actually have one of these things??

1GB RAM for my iBook
Mac mini 1.66GHz Core Duo with 1GB RAM & 120GB HDD
500GB external HDD
23" Apple Cinema Display (would accept a 20")
Klipsch 2.1 speakers
iPod 30GB
iPod nano 4GB
Solid Gold Toilet
A stunningly attractive and uninhibited live-in maid
A 6x increase in my DVD library
17" MacBook Pro
Apple's 2006, 2007 and 2008 release schedule (can you imagine how much that would be worth???)
More of this $$$$$$$$$$, less bills from crap telecommunications companies who can't get broadband to someone on a major thoroughfare in the 9th largest city in the country.

Apr 26, 2006, 04:15 AM

To add onto my PB:
iCurve-type stand to help things stay cool
External display, at least 23" to make it worth my while
iSight, especially a new one with an IR sensor and remote
BT keyboard to use with my PB in clamshell mode and external display
I suppose some speakers like the Creatures, if I feel like rocking out with my sweet external display

And in 5 years, fiber-optic connections like the one in my avatar (40Gb/s)

Solid Gold Toilet
A stunningly attractive and uninhibited live-in maid

Live-in maids are going fairly cheap now. Especially since Rev B has just been released. This nice thing is they now come with a built-in English module, so you don't have to add any software updates.
Just me sure to max out the intelligent quota - you don't want her wearing your new toilet as an earring.

I bought an iSight today... it's fantastic :) Worth every penny... especially cool using stuff like evobarcode with it.

Anyway onto my list...

- Another external hard drive - one of those LaCie designed by FA Porsche to stack with the one I've already got.

- Mac-compatible DTT TV tuner device

- Bluetooth headset compatible with Skype

- USB MIDI keyboard (next on my list probably) and a copy of Logic Express.

That's it... for now ;)

May 3, 2006, 07:39 PM

Oooooh....

Apple Cinema Display (23" or 20")
B/T Mighty Mouse (please Apple!) and B/T Keyboard
Another external HD (where does all the space go?)
iSight
As we're dreaming, a 15" MBP
RAM is always good.
Im gonna wait until the 50" ACD comes out alongside the G5 PB. But no, a 23" acd and a klipsch or triad audio system with a ES5000 amp/reciever form sony to compliment my PB would be awesome. Almost enopugh power to shake the clothes off of women. haha. (the italianne job was quoted, yes)

i had a bad... really bad experience with my griffin icurve. it was really great until one day the 2 rubber nubs on the front of it (which prevents the laptop from falling off) popped off. i litterally watched my powerbook slide off of it and crash into my powermac. lets just say i won't be buying another one... ever.

May 7, 2006, 11:23 PM

Hey, I got my wish this week! Woo! 300GB here I come! So, uh, I guess maybe now I want some more RAM? Or some sort of USB-powered device that produces money for me to buy more upgrades with?

slooksterPSV

May 8, 2006, 12:10 AM

List:
2nd display
Bigger HDD for external
Another External for DVD Burner
BT Mouse - can't find them anymore why?
iSight
... and I've already upgraded my RAM so I'm good.

Dr_Maybe

May 8, 2006, 04:11 AM

External LCD display (19"+ widescreen)
External HDD (maybe the Seagate 750GB)

Projector for watching movies
Surround amp, and surround speaker setup for watching movies

Intel duo Mac Mini as a home theater computer, internet connected file server, and maybe development server. (not really necessary, since my laptop really does what I need, but it would be a bit more convenient).

And a MBP. I could probably live with a 15", if it was hooked up to an external display.

Oh, a quad with dual 30" ACDs would be nice for work@home, but a bit too costly. And dealing with syncing files between that and a laptop could be a hassle.

joelypolly

May 8, 2006, 04:52 AM

mmmm 30" LCD would be nice..... I would even take a dell 30"

brikeh

May 8, 2006, 05:47 AM

For my pb:

20" ACD

BT Mighty Mouse(Id buy this the second theyre announced)

BT Keyboard

iCurve or maybe iLap

Im actually all set on external storage with Iomega 250gb and Western Digital 80 gb but I wouldnt mind a Lacie Little Big Disk just because theyre so nice-looking.

Miglia Tv-Dealie

M-Audio StudioPhile DX4(Speakers)

Focusrite Saffire FireWire 400

Ableton Live 5

Logic Pro...

Whoah thats a long list, I better start saving. :D

BT mouse, Logitech V270.
You get a "REAL" 2 button mouse and scrollwheel.
None of the fake mightymousecrap

The V270 just works, no drivers, no software.
Apple bluetooth finds it and needs no modification.
And the battery life is great, I havent changed my batteries in over 4 months.
Im still using the original AA Duracell that came in the package.

TheSailerMan

May 8, 2006, 08:45 PM

- iSight
- External Hard Drive (I still have 20GB left on my mini's, but I've started taking a lot of photos.)
- 30" ACD (Okay, so it doesn't work with the mini, but I still want one! ;) )

And... that's about it. After recently upgrading to 1 gig of RAM, I've basically got everything I really want.

Dr_Maybe

May 9, 2006, 07:12 AM

Oh, BTW, I also want a pair of Xbox360 controllers. My brother just got one for his mac, and says it works great.

And eyeTV too.

UPDATE: I got the xbox360 controllers. Works well with the unofficial OS X drivers found on versiontracker. I am using them with a SNES emulator.

May 11, 2006, 12:16 PM

In the next few days, I'll be getting a Mac Mini Core Duo, with 2GB of RAM and a 120GB HDD. I've just ordered a Dell 2405FWP monitor that should be pretty nice. I've ordered a wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse to go with the Mini. I haven't tried the MM yet, so I'm looking forward to getting it. I got a BT keyboard and mouse for my old iMac, but I think I'll prefer the wired MM if I can find a remote that works well with the stuff I care about. The IR Apple remote might be nice, but I need a BT or a RF one. The Keyspan RF Remote for Front Row seems pretty good. Their Presentation Remote and TuneView Remote look pretty cool too. I wouldn't mind having the three of them, actually. I think they'd be fun toys to play with.

Anyways, when my wallet recovers, I'd like to get a 750GB NewerTech miniStack (or whatever's the biggest HDD capacity they offer at that time). It's such a big HDD in such a tiny package!!! And you can pile a few if you want even more storage. Oh! The joy of having a cute little tower measuring only 6.5"x6.5"x8" but having 120GB+4x750GB of storage!!! WOW!!! WwwwwwwwwoW!!! :P

Eventually, I'd like to get a decent TV tuner as well, but it is not a priority at the moment as I don't yet have the aforementioned cute little tower and its associated storage capacities. :P

DrFrankTM

May 25, 2006, 12:32 PM

I just discovered the ATI Remote Wonder II. I think it would be a good all-in-one solution. It seems to be a pretty powerful remote and it is supported by MediaCentral (a FrontRow-type of application): http://www.remotecentral.com/wonder2/features.htm .

Miglia also announced the "TVMax" tuner for the Mini. It features DivX hardware compression, which is rather nice, and has a form factor that matches the Mini's, which is a big esthetic plus. I don't really know much about the different TV standards, but the tuner's technical specifications mention only "standard definition" so I'm not sure if the image quality is worth the price: http://www.miglia.com/products/video/tvmax/techspecs.html .

I'm gunning for an ACD right now, I either want a 30 or two 20's. Or the dell widescreens, I don't care about the brand that much. Other than that I would like to have an iCurve for my MacBook, because it will soon be my desktop on EyeTV duty when the 64 bit MBP's come out.
