Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present! (part 2)

[neiltc13]

Nice setup - congrats. You haven't wasted money if it's what you want, surely?

I made a mistake jumping to a Windows Vista machine over the summer (which I sold at a loss to buy the iMac). I really wanted to get back into PC gaming because I love it so much and my old iMac (a 17" Core Duo model) couldn't cope with anything.

I realise now that pretty much every good game is out for Xbox 360 and there isn't much at all exclusively on PC. I do still game on my iMac but the performance is downright miserable.

Oh well, an error of judgement that will not be repeated.

Part of the reason I went to PC was because the iMac that had just come out in August didn't really interest me and I still think it's pretty ugly but I spent all of my time with my MacBook connected to a monitor so I just decided it was time to go back to iMac. I'm missing the ability to stick the remote to the enclosure and also the sleep light. Why on earth would they ditch these?!

Hi,

Current setup:
-BlacBook C2D 2GHz 120GB HDD, 1Gb Ram.
-8GB iPhone.
-30GB 5.5 Gen. iPod.
-Wireless Mighty & Keyboard.
-Sony sound system.
Photo taken with no clue about photography with my sisters Nikon D80 and unprofessionally adjusted it with Aperture, I apologize if its weird looking jeje.

you have probably heard it enough times, but is it worth paying the black tax?

[plugtrade]

This is my current setup, Nothing special but it does the job.

how do you like the mini?
ive rolled into some money and would like to buy my mom one, but she just couldnt have it!

How does one roll into money? I just dropped to the floor and rolled but I doubt that was money I hit. ;)

I'd buy a mini for my mom hands down. She got the laptop (not a mac) so technically a nice little mini would do her good.

Seriously, a Mac and a 360 is the best of both worlds in my opinion. A dedicated games machine and a computer that runs OSX - what more could you want?

Sorry it cost you some money getting there, but at least you're there.

I agree - Mac and PS3 here. Now, if they'd release some games worth playing...:rolleyes:

Until then my PC, which is in its death-throws can still manage to play Day of Defeat.

iMac and PS3 here too. Yeah - lack of games biggest problem.

COD4 is fricken awesome though. Waiting on Wipeout, Aircombat - and pretty much all the titles that got me INTO the Playstation years ago. FYI - I'm a very slow learner - but recently discovered that my PS3 is a GREAT media center. It now sees movies / music and pics from my iMac AND external HD. I encoded some of my DVDs using HandBrake - and they look GREAT - even on a 52" 1080 Plasma. (and my encode is almost 1/3 the size of the original DVD files) So I stuffed the HD full on that, and use it 10 times more than in the past year. It's also a great space heater when Folding. (which takes place of my gas heat - seriously)

There's actually nothing wrong with Windows Vista and I thoroughly enjoyed using it, especially Windows Media Center. The problem was that I just preferred OS X.

So do you play your PS3 on one of your monitors?

Until I get a real HD TV for my living room - yeah, I play it off the monitor. It couples into my logitech speakers - which you can't see from that pic, but they surround me front and back.

It's a little TOO comfortable... That's my bed above everything (gigantic loft bed)

Super nice for a cramped apartment - and it provides that I'm-8-years-old-in-my "fort" feel to it.

Not necessarily a good thing. :D

My iMac seems a lot easier to use now that I've gotten it at a cleaner workspace.

I'm looking into a different container to put my CDs, cables, and hard drive in. The one I have now doesn't match the desk and looks off.

I actually didn't like the lamp there at first, but now that it's dark I really like it :D

But when I take a photo at night of my iMac with my Sony Cybershot (not the best camera), the lamp keeps overexposing the image. How can I prevent that?

YUM! What kinda speakers are those?? :D

There the Creative i-Trigue 3200 I think...I picked them up of ebay for about £30, and they sound pretty amazing. The sub is hidden away in the corner :p I wasn't planning on them matching the mac, because I bought them before the aluminum mac was released, but they do the job pretty well!

I think the front end of the 5-series is the sexiest in the lineup. I think it's because the headlights take on the shape of eyes and make the car seem alive. Could do with a nicer rear-end, though. :)

Which reminds me that I should take some pictures of my schools mac classrooms. We had placed our order for new macs and then Apple announced the new macs. We quickly called and were pleased to discover they had shipped us the new ones... so we were probably one of the first schools to get the new macs :) (I work in the I.S. department.. have to pay bills some how)

They look beautiful!

Yeah, I'm looking for another place to put the shoes. The problems: There are close to forty pair of them, and my studio is only 420 sq ft. It's really my last great problem with the studio. The current solution is "acceptable," but not "ideal."

In this case, function follows form.

If they were ACDs you could have an external firewire optical drive.
If he had a firewire drive that he wanted to connect, don't you think it would be cheaper to buy a 99p extention cable than buy a new monitor to replace what is already a perfectly good monitor?

Now that is swish, very clever :)
Must be a bit if a chore trying to use those two monitors when you're that close though

[rogersmj]

But we're talking about ACDs!!! (:

Connecting a drive via Firewire to the ACD still wouldn't be an option with the way he has it setup because the ports on an ACD face directly backward, precluding their use when the display is wall-mounted. On the Dells, two USB ports are on the side and two are on the back but face *down*, allowing them to be used no matter how the monitor is mounted.

ACDs are gorgeous monitors, and I have one at work and love it, but I'd be hard-pressed to name another product that does a more complete job of placing form over function. The aforementioned port placement, the buttons on the side that become obscured when you set up a second monitor, the stupid monocable that breaks out far too late so you get really short individual cables, the power brick (seriously, Apple, get with the times), and oh yeah only a SINGLE input. For my setup at work none of those things is a problem, but at home they're deal-killers.

[Corran Horn]

IF he wanted a drive with easy access (which he has no need for) he wouldn't want it on his desk, since everything is wireless. He could run an external drive and mount in on the under side of the desk service so that he could easily hide the cable all the way to the computer...

In a couple of months I will re-paint my room, get the new keyboard and perhaps inherit an iMac G5 17" 1,6GHz w/ 1GB ram, I'll post new pictures then! ;)

How big is the MacBook Pro screen? 15 or 17"?

[koobcamuk]

Yep. I finally found InsomniaX so I can keep the screen closed now.


:confused:

Why don't you just run it in clamshell mode? Mirror mode is awful.

How did you get that FlIQLO screen saver to be blue, or is it just the white balance on your camera that's making it look like that?

How do I install the fliqlo screensaver in leopard? Doesn't work for me.

[xplod850]

once uve downloaded it, pull up your finder window, click on users, click on you, go down to library, and then into screensavers, click and drag the screensaver file once youve opened it up, into this folder, you can then access it under other on your system prefrences for screensavers... hope this helps

[livingfortoday]

whats that black laptop? is it an apple computer? and whats that box with the apple logo on it?

You made my brain explode. That's a Powerbook Pismo, the last of the Powerbook G3's. It's been upgraded with a 550Mhz G4, though. The box with the Apple logo is the Powermac G4 Cube. It maxed out at 500Mhz back in the day, but you can get dual-1.8Ghz G4 upgrades for it nowadays, and I think they make a single processor 2.0Ghz G4 for it too.

Uh... yeah. Mine is just the 450Mhz, though.

There was no Powerbook G5, btw, they're pulling your leg. The Aluminum Powerbook G4 was the last of the Powerbooks before the MacBook Pro's.

www.apple-history.com is a nice place to go through the different Apple computers over the years. There's a few gems in there, and also a lot of Performas. Avoid those.

Lol :D He's messing with you. There was no powerbook G5 - the G5 chips were too hot to make a laptop with. They were only ever used in the desktops. That machine is an older powerbook, before the nice silver ones and the current black macbooks.

I think that FLIQLO (http://www.9031.com/downloads/screensavers.html) (the clock one) is very popular because it is a useful screen save and doesn't tax the system too much. For example on my new MB arabesque makes the battery life shoot down.

You'll need to put it in the "Screen Savers" folder, in the Library. It should appear under "Other" under Screen Saver in System Preferences.

[Slip]

Or again just double click the d/l screensaver file and then select it in System Prefs. *Hopes memory serves correctly or will look like tit*

[tMac85]

You'll need to put it in the "Screen Savers" folder, in the Library. It should appear under "Other" under Screen Saver in System Preferences.

there is no other folder in the screensaver choose section. only 'choose folder' and when i go into that it just is grey everywhere. i can never choose it.

any other hints?

you have a different keyboard for each day of the week?

lol no, the french one is my grandma's (she speaks french), i got the wireless keyboard (old one), back before the new one came out for my mbp, it was my old mac at the time, i also got the old wireless mouse with it (the one with grey sides. i the new wired keyboard, and mouse came with my imac, use them, i dont use that old wireless keyboard anymore, the new wireless mouse if for my grandma, and the new wireless keyboard replaces the old one, i hate the old one, i have to pick it up to turn it on and off, so much desk space, so in in short, the french wired, and new wireless, is for my grandma's mb, the old wireless keyboard is just back up, with old wireless mouse and new wireless keyboard is for mbp, and new wired mouse and keyboard is for imac. my mb sits in my grandma's bag, she uses the french keyboard when she's typing to one of her friends in france, and mbp sits on a totally different desk, i just brought it over to the imac desk for the pick, my mbp desk is pretty much empty, mbp, mouse, keyboard, book, lamp, no printer, no external speakers

well, if you think about it, screen savers were originally made so that whatever is on your screen doesnt burn into the LCD, so when you turn off your computer, you will see your desktop still there, or whenever your using it, you can see your desktop on the screen, or whatever burned into your screen while for instance you are browsing. i had that problem once, my screensaver was just an image, the american flag, no movement, left it there for like 12 hours, came back, my screen had the american flag burned into it, screensavers are supposed to move around to keep anything from burning into the LCD, im not sure if the colon blinks in the FLIQLO, if it doesnt, you will have 2 dots on the screen no matter what, and the "1" in "10, 11, 12" o clock may burn into the screens after 3 ours, but i doubt that, but if the colon doesnt blink, and you leave it for a day, i wouldnt use that screen saver:(

LCDs dont get burn in, it was only an issue with CRT screens. An LCD might "remember" an image that has been on it for a long time, but it will go away after a period of being off.

[Big-TDI-Guy]

LCDs don't burn in like CRTs do. They do, however, polarize. (which results in a similar after effect as burn-in)

It should take a LOT longer than 12 hours straight to notice any "burn in" on an LCD.

Those "pixel fixing" apps, are actually ideal for helping reverse any polarization bias on the screen. (the jury is out whether or not they actually help stuck pixels, though)

I experienced "burn in" on a Dell LCD at my last job - but the image was static for -- months. (literally)

[koobcamuk]

You can see how small the MacBook isn't

I beg to differ. I mean the MacBook is "normal" sized. I think his grandparents are ultra small.

ive rolled into some money and would like to buy my mom one, but she just couldnt have it!

I'm actually using the Mac Mini I just bought a few hours ago for my parents' Christmas gift. I installed Leopard, set up accounts, and am downloading a few apps before I wrap it and throw it under our tree.

This puppy blazes! I got the entry level Mini (1.83Ghz C2D / 1GB Ram / 80GB HDD) and couldn't be happier. I use a Single 1.8Ghz PowerMac G5 and this Mini would kill my computer. After Christmas I'm getting one for myself! I love it so much. It's extremely quiet, blazingly fast, and real freakin' small!

It's hocked up to my 17" MacBook Pro, which is sitting on top of my little white drawer thing that's to the left of my desk.

Nothing new under the sun! Before I bought my Mac I had planned identically the same set up - except with both wired mouse and keyboard. The only problem was the first two of those HP monitors I got from Amazon came with defects and then they wouldn't send me any more...I'm waiting before I buy another one...I'l post a pic when I get it - it'll look familiar to you I'm sure ;)

mine is a lower end samsung, i'll see if i can find the model number for you, it cost me right under $300. i just sat at best buy for a while staring at all of the monitors and noticed this one had a better picture than almost all of the others (there were two much more expensive ones that looked a bit sharper)

im very happy with it

I'm shocked to see so many people using the Mighty Mouse, particularly the wireless one. Here it costs £49.99 and I think it's probably one of the worst products Apple has EVER made. When it's not struggling to track where you want the cursor to be it's getting confused between left and right clicks and it all feels very, very cheap and horrible to me.

Logitech have a slew of better products on the market, as do Microsoft! Mice with a proper shape and real working buttons that don't get confused, no matter how many times you press them!

Sorry, I just really hate to see an awful product doing well. Perhaps if people stopped buying them then Apple would think about their mistake and put the person who worked on the wonderful new keyboards into the mouse team.

I absolutely abhor my wireless mighty mouse, but I'm still trying to find a suitable bluetooth mouse replacement that doesnt have any issues with osx and is nice looking (meaning white/fits in with the whole apple thing).

[Big-TDI-Guy]

For what it's worth - one could be built or rigged with a trip to Ikea, and buying some multi color LEDs. (If you're not afraid to Solder, even cheaper)

They are nice - but knowing there is 10 bucks worth of LEDs in that - kinda makes the price sting a bit too much for me.

Here - Hit Up Ikea - grab whatever Lamp suits your fancy, then hit Think Geek for these to stuff in it. Likely will be nicer (more options design wise), and cost a fraction of the complete unit.

My first Bluetooth MM died on me a couple of months ago and I got out my old Logitech wireless mouse to use. Well, I just COULD NOT get used to using it after using the Mighty Mouse for so long. I ended up getting in my closet and digging my wired MM out of the iMac's box. :eek:

i love my wireless mighty mouse. its comfortable, sleek, responsive, works perfect on my wooden desk and uses one AA battery per month. it never has trouble doing right clicks. the only drawback if you have to lift your left finger to right click. you find yourself getting used to this in no time though and passing on this habit to other mice too.

i cant live without the scroll ball click programmed to exposé and the squeeze for spaces. if i use another mouse on a PC i find myself squeezing and pressing down the scroll wheel franticly realising im not holding my MM. its a great mouse and i expect it to work and it has been for 8 months. you obviously had a faulty one and you could of got it replaced.

It is a widescreen image, letterboxed to 4:3, and then said 4:3 image is streched to 16:9...

andyfordays has his set displaying the movie like the first image.

The correct way of displaying it, is to tell the source that you have a 16:9 set, then you will have a bigger picture, less bars, more resolution, and most importantly, the correct aspect ratio.

as for the ipod, heres the best way for a classic, connect the ipod to the imac, format it COMPLETELY, take EVERYTHING off it, including the files that make it work, the actually interface/operating "system" files, so that there is literally no ipod on it, nothing, just a dumb ipod, the take a knife, preferably a pocket knife, or a fork, and SCREW UP THE CONNECTORS!!!! the connecters under the mini so you cant connect it anymore, and if i remember, the 6gb mini had an HD, so throw the damn thing on the floor to destroy it, shake it aggressively, then throw it on the floor again, ill be hoping that you dont have applecare for it, and that its not under warranty, tell your parents that its totally busted, lie a story, and you've got your self a classic, but so that your parents wont be suspicious, if you have any money, try to pay for at least a portion of it;) i hope that helps:D

i thought i most post some pics. it really is a crappy setup and i doubt i'll get many replies back to mine. haha. it does me though.

ps. I really can't be bothered cleaning up my desk for the picture so here is a very realistic (unlike most of yours) picture of my setup.

looks like an ordinary messy desk, nothing to be ashamed of, my desk isnt that messy anymore ever since i got my imac (i dont have room for mess, my big 24 is eating up the space), check out the link in my sig for pix of it

I tend to make fun of the cramped, thrown together setups here in this thread... but, alas, I'm back home from college for Christmas break. And, rather than try to make everything look good, hide wires, grab my keyboard/mouse storage rack, and hook up all my speakers/routers/drives... I just threw it all together last night.

You made my brain explode. That's a Powerbook Pismo, the last of the Powerbook G3's. It's been upgraded with a 550Mhz G4, though.

This is My :apple:MacBook Pro. I just got it today so it's not on my desk or anything, but it will be soon. Just wanted to come show off some pics! :p

I will reply to your post to politely request that you learn proper spelling & grammar before posting again.

Besides from 'most', what else is there?

Nice! I still need to upgrade the RAM further. Mine is G4/550, 576MB, 80GB/7200, DVD-R

Woo! It really flies for everything I do, and I love the feel of it!

"it does me though"

Doesn't quite make sense to me... but you asked.

Potential extra monitor. I might mount it on my ceiling above my bed... yay/nay? I already have another TV in the room anyway.

I dunno about on the ceiling above your bed. It'll be awesome until 4AM one night when you wake up to a broken leg and a TV on your bed.

Yeah but surely a few missing capitals is better than 'CHECK OUT MI ORSUM SETUP GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D ROCKON :apple:!!!!!!'?

I recommend that you definately read "Eats shoots and leaves", it's one of the best books I have ever encountered on the subject of grammar and the way in which it is used. People like you and I are therein known as "Sticklers".
Proud to be a stickler :)
