The sound is awesome-wish Apple would include these type of cards in future Macs (a least under Boot Camp).

I've had one for a long time for the PB (R.I.P.), so I've got that covered. Then again, I dont really ever use the built in iSight in this or my previous iMac..

I love Dell monitors. I have a 2407WFP which I use for both my Mac and my gaming consoles. The quality is pretty much on par with the Apple displays and on certain models you have all sorts of inputs like HDMI and Component. Good purchase!

Same panel but worse back lighting, worse build quality and lower acceptable standard for the hardware use. Dell use panels Apple reject.

That's not to say it's a bad panel or bad purchase, it's a great display and a great price. I just don't want people to go away believing it's a better unit, as in many regards it's not.

I've always got far better colour reproduction, brightness and evenness across the panel with ACD's.

I think that's just BS you make up they don't use apples rejects, Don't make up crap like that. How is the build quality worse do you own one? Because if do not don't talk. The build quality is very good on the dell and the dell is brighter proven on tests. Also has better ergonomics and more inputs.

God here we go again, another argument over ACDs and Dell's displays... Every damn thread in the picture section somehow ends up with at least 5 pages devoted to this.

Well, if you think Steve Jobs is a liar, that's up to you. My bet is he knows more than you about it.

Don't make up crap like that.

I advice you to take your own advice and stop being over protective of your purchase.

How is the build quality worse do you own one?

I've owned several and used many. It doesn't take a genius to work out that one is made of cheap crappy plastic and one is made out of aircraft grade aluminium.

Because if do not don't talk.

Like I said, I've owned and used several. 2005, 2405 and even lower end dell displays, which really are poor.

Also has better ergonomics and more inputs.

Better ergonomics? I'd love you to back that up.

More inputs is about the only thing it has over the ACD. Not that it's important for most Mac users.

I used to use Vegas, before switching over to Mac's. I liked it too, but haven't done enough side by side comparisons to know if my productivity was faster with one or the other. Glad we have options. :)

Are you in the US? My roommate found a few HD channels without even having a cable hooked up to his new HDTV. A few of the big networks out of Salt Lake City broadcast in HD and we pick it up 80 miles away. I wonder if that may be the case with you?

CFLs and a bus pass. Hooray!

Good job. Every little bit helps. I've had the same CFL bulbs for 4 or 5 years. When I move, I put the original incandescents back in the fixtures.

It will be nice when LEDs get to the quality and price of the CFL bulbs, since it's another factor of 5 or so in savings (wattage wise).

Since I've switched to CFLs, and use my Mini almost exclusively, I've dropped my electricity bill to under $18.00 a month.

When I buy a house again it will go down, since I will have control over the appliances. The ones in my apartment are not efficient at all.

Well, if you think Steve Jobs is a liar, that's up to you. My bet is he knows more than you about it.



I advice you to take your own advice and stop being over protective of your purchase.



I've owned several and used many. It doesn't take a genius to work out that one is made of cheap crappy plastic and one is made out of aircraft grade aluminium.



Like I said, I've owned and used several. 2005, 2405 and even lower end dell displays, which really are poor.



Better ergonomics? I'd love you to back that up.

More inputs is about the only thing it has over the ACD. Not that it's important for most Mac users.

Isn't it funny how you bashed on Dell's monitors but yet you used their displays? Not 1, 2 but it seems like you have used a lot of Dell's monitors. How ironic is that? Dell's ultrasharp monitors are superior over ACD, except for the design part. Only apple fan boys would pay that much for an ACD.

Big day for ya! This is a pretty good book, if you can get past Sagmeister's weird and wacky designs. I haven't read too much of mine lately cause I got sick of seeing his man parts. One of these days I'll pull it off the shelf and read some more. I also hope you got a good deal on it. When I got it I had a hard time finding a copy under $150 USD. I got lucky at the time and found it for $45 shipped from the U.K. Looks like it's $300 on Amazon now, for a "like new" copy! There is also a used copy for $862. :eek:

Mine had minor damage to the top corner, like it had been dropped. The front cover was also coming unglued. I glued part of the front cover back to the rest of the book. Other than that it was in decent shape. Is yours hard to remove from the red plastic sleeve? I have the hardest time getting it out! I'm not sure why it went out of print though. It's a nice book. My only guess is because Sagmeister came out with his new book? Glad to hear you are enjoying it.

Well we have decided just to paint the wall with a fresh coat of white paint. It's really just because the boiler is white and on that wall, we can't paint the boiler so it would look strange with a random white box in the corner.

To tell you the truth I am not saving any space because I used to have all 3 drives standing up side by side and it is literally the same width now as before.... Just looks a little cooler and much easier to transport if I need to bring them somewhere. I was actually surprised by how heavy all 3 drives were together. Hope this info helps you, the rack is purely for looks I could have down without it. The other surprsing thing is that it took me close to 3 months to get this bad boy since every time I went to Lacie's website it was out of stock and could not find an alternative to purchase it elsewhere.

In this format though, they're less likely to be knocked over. You'd have to try hard to flip that cage, but when they're laying on edge, anything's possible. I've put my drive way away from my desktop so I don't knock it over or spill on it.

Not inherently clumsy, but when I'm in a hurry...

And the stuff is less than 6' away, but you need long cables if you don't want something stretching between the desk and the shelf. Something to trip over...

True that, no disrespect by the previous post - just playing. I know what you mean though about the distance and liking to have a few extra feet. It can make a big difference + the length the cables come in never really work for the situation. You always find yourself searching for a cable and it ends up being the exact length you need or 10' too long. Doh!! :mad:

Not a bad car but I had to get rid of the new 2004 LS Sport Cavalier I had after just a year. It had become a rattle bucket. Mine was orange. I traded it for a 06 Cobalt SS Supercharged. Much happier with that car.

As for my latest purchase, I am off soon to pick up a dual quad core Mac Pro and two 1TB hard drives. Will post pics later though they will be taken with my iPhone. Oh, I am also picking up another 23" ACD to go with it.

The 30" feels thicker than the iMac...and the iMac has it's guts behind it. I have my 30" sitting next to me waiting for my Mac Pro to come (tomorrow) and it's a pretty thick display, which is something I also noticed in the Apple Store.

Friggin heavy for a display too...I had to buy an extra leg to mount under the center of my desk to keep it from bowing under the pressure.

It'll definitely be a huge improvement though. I've had more trouble with my 24" C2D than I had with my original intel 20" CD iMac. This thing gets in fits where if one program hangs, it refuses to force quit and then goes on causing other programs to hang -- thus forcing me to do a hard restart. Extremely annoying. My 20" iMac was flawless, this 24" is just sexier. 20" had more HDD space also, this one is struggling with it's 320GB.

Here's to hoping our Pros are flawless. Cheers :)

I want to get used to the Bluetooth keyboard now so that I can see about using it with a computer on my TV. Editing to add: I bought this keyboard with my iPhone rebate from last year. So, effectively it's free because I never expected the rebate when Apple gave it out.

I remember when it first came out a year ago at $400 and I knew I wanted one but couldn't see paying more than $300 for it. I guess after years of reading off my computer and this year off my macbook, I was ready to drop the money for the thing. If Apple makes a reader this year I will be pissed.
