Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

What do you think about lightroom?

What do you think about lightroom?
It's nice. Fast. Great feature set. Buggy, although like the lights dim feature. I am deff buying it when it comes out retail.

[calebjohnston]

Yeah, this seems like it could be a pretty good application when it's fixed up. I just downloaded it and I'm giving it a quick run -- seems pretty good.

oops.

anyways, here's my room/setup:

only one mac in the picture. there's an ipod nano sitting in an ipod mini dock hiding behind the little TV. it's hooked up to the two computer speakers flanking the TV. i just use the TV to play PS2 once in a while. chinese television programming sucks, even the foreign channels, but it was rather cheap for an LCD TV. only about 230 bucks or so. god bless china.

My quick and dirty setup. I didn't care much to really put time in the photos. I am just happy I finally got 10 minutes to dust!
I like to collect teddy bears as you can see.

This much fun should be illegal, for a 14 year old (processing raw).


/sarcasm
If you can process raw photo and understand it, you are well on your way towards a successful future. Raw photo is one of the most facinating parts of digital computing (to me at least) - being able to take a photo in a form where you can alter almost every since aspect of its shape to form it into what you need. I just love it.

geez iGary, are you trying to make me hate you even more? But why didnt you get a MacBook Pro? Oh wait, thats because you hate intel, right. Well, that and the fact that all the apps that you need are only PPC.

Oh, and is that an iPod Nano that I see? When did you get that?

[iGary]

I just couldn't believe that litle thing can actually do it, that's all.

I got the nano when they introduced the 1GB - it's my gym tunes. :D

Can't wait to see the MBP on that desk of yours I like so much.

[calebjohnston]

I can't imagine having one of those 30" beasts in my house... mmm. Every time I use one at an Apple store I feel like a three year old.

Definetely getting an external display and keyboard/mm soon to use with my PB though.

Y..y....y....ou don't understand. It makes me so angry, how much ram it steals. :p
I need an upgrade badly. 512MB is nothing. =[
As for the photo aspect, it is amazing, like.... My friends mom cannon rebel xt is great and i take photo's with that when she isn't using it. Like wow. Lightroom is kinda buggy though.

[rickvanr]

Not a bad idea.

Yeah but who decides?

I think mine is pretty awesome, but someone else might not.

Very nice, Love the 30", is this the one with the dead pixel I have read so much about?

I used to have those over priced stick speakers, and was not very impressed with the sound range. I now have a $90 per of Bose which are far better, with better sound range. Next time you are in the market for great speakers check out Bose, I swear they will impress you. (This by the way is my third set, had others with PC years ago).

[macOSX-tastic]

whenever i go to an apple store and play with a 30 inch display, i suffer from agoraphobia! i cant possibly fill all the space!!!!!!!

Arrrrggggghhhh!!!

nice setup iGary, as usual!:D

Me neither! :D Its time for an upgrade. (IMO) If someone actually buys my goddamn display! (hint hint ;), Check the sig) Luckly, my neighbor is going to buy the iBook so that is taken care of.

Nice shirts.

Haha. Thanks. This was taken a while ago. I've expanded my wardrobe since then. :) I live in Shanghai and there's great shopping here, especially for fake clothes (that are often higher quality than their real counterparts). And the prices are dirt cheap.

That's a very lovely looking room there!

Thanks!

i think thats my favorite setup iv seen yet.

It's my favourite too. Haha. Although I wish I had an iBook or PowerBook to go with the iMac =( and a wireless keyboard and a whole crapload of other stuff... well, i can dream.

Awesome Crib! What do you do for a living?

I don't. I just live. I'm a student. I moved here from Canada and I attend a private international school here.

It looks like you live in page 12 of the ikea catalog

Heh, but I only have a few things from IKEA... and the only thing from IKEA in that room is a shoelace rug that's not visible in the photos.

I need a laptop too...MacBook Pro would work nice enough, but alas, no money.

Could you be a lifesaver and tell me where you got that bed/bed spread? At first I thought it a futon but i'm not sure.

If you could link it you would be my savior!

Sorry. The apartment came fully furnished so the bed was already there. But I think the duvet cover is from B&Q.

does it rotate 90degrees? thats a must in my next monitor, perfect for page layouts. also, is it vesa-mountable? because in that case i wouldn't need to rotate it.

You live with your parents, right? Start paying rent, paying for food, car payments, electrical bill, phone bill, internet, so forth and so on and we'll see how many computers you can afford.

very, very true. i'm 15, my dad has a six-figure income, but i have to work my ass off to get what i want (20'' ALUM ACD + intel mac mini). my LCD on my thinkpad from the 1990s broke the other day, as my dad got it for free from his position at his work place, and my beige dell desktop was thrown out. it's ridiculous how kids my age have all this shiet and nothing to show for it.

... a 30 inch display... i cant possibly fill all the space!!!!!!!

Really? I cold fill all that space and more. Just think, you'd never have to use expose to show all open windows because you'd be able to see all of them all of the time! Though with all those windows visible you'd need to use expose to highlight the current program's open windows much more, so I suppose it's a give and take, but I'd gladly give that give to take that take.

As soon as my imac intel came in (first mac, ordered on a tuesday night, day steve jobs released the imac intel) I took down my 19" viewsonic crt and my pc and sold them both. Currently to the right of my imac is my windows laptop sitting on the desk (mainly use for a little gaming and when I go on vacation to check email and watch over my servers). I don't keep to many computers around as I only need two (desktop and laptop).

The number would be a big help, I've been looking at printers that I can connect with my network (either by ethernet or WiFi). I'd pretty much decided on an HP, but when I saw iGary's printer, I decided maybe I needed to look around a little more. Anyone know how well Canon printers hold up? I've never had any problems from any of the HP printers I'ved had.

sweet wallpaper, indeed.

I love looking at everybodys setups. Also I enjoy looking at the Apple Cinema Displays. Im still on the fence as to whether or not I should sploge all my money on one, or get one of those wide aspect 20.1' viewsonics, that I saw earlier here which is pretty cheap from a local retailer here in canada. hmmm its a toughy.

Monitor and keyboard

My brand new and awesome home theater receiver, with my not so brand new, yet still awesome PS2.
46828


Showing off my awesome photography skills. (It's my G5 with an external HD and 60gb video iPod on top of it. And that white line in the upper left corner is a speaker wire, but not for the speaker on the floor next to the G5.)

WIRES!!!! A huge mess. Most of the wire you see there is from the Sirius antenna in the picture. Of course, there's also a full surge protector. Also a heatsink I pulled out of an older PC. And a key to a luggage padlock. No idea where the lock is. Kinda random, but its there and I must've been too lazy to throw it away

Powerbook and more wires!

Hey man, cool set up. I have pretty much the same receiver, but I'd warn against setting anything, especially a PS2, on top of it. Mine produces massive amounts of heat, and my PS2 used to as well (I have a new thin one now).

Really? My receiver's been on all day, decoding digital audio from my G5 (which I assume generates more heat than analog since it has a processor decoding it) and my receiver is cool. But I'll keep that in mind and try to find another spot on my desk to put the PS2

I think people are still waiting to see if a 2 Gb stick will work in the new intel macs - as far as I know it has not been tested, although I have heard a Dell laptop with the same processor and motherboard as the MBP apparantly accepts them.

Psychopulse - can you confirm that you are usin 2.5Gb of RAM??

If you look at the links mentioned above, they talk about 2Gb "kits"... that is 2 x 1 Gb sticks getting you to 2 Gb.

512MB soldered on the logic board, and one free slot, which can take 512MB, 1GB and 2GB sticks.

ok I'll bite...why so many computers?Well, there are 12 visible (there is a 7500 on the floor between the SGI and 8100 and a PowerBook 2300c below the Quadra 950 monitors that aren't pictured). But I'm currently at 31 systems (including the ones in storage).

Yea.....but why?

[Psychopulse]

Hi guys.

Yes, I've got 2.5 GB ram. 512 is build in and I bought an extra 2 GB ram. It's not the Kingston ram from Apple's site, it's some other brand. Works fine ;)

[RacerX]

Yea.....but why?My job is to know Macs backwards and forwards. I need to be able to support Macs of all different ages, trouble shoot networking issues, trouble shoot software issues, etc. There is simply no way that I could do that on only a hand full of systems.

Besides, most of my stuff I got for free or it has paid for itself.

For example... my PowerBook 2300c is meant to be my main school system. I do mathematics, and the main app I use is Mathematica. I could buy a newer PowerBook/iBook running Mac OS X ($1000 or so) and then buy Mathematica ($1800 without the student discount... which I don't currently get). But that's about $2800 I don't have. On the other hand my 2300c was about $75, Mathematica 2.2 was $50... that is $125 for pretty much the same functionality.

People often forget that 5, 10 and 15 years ago people were making nice quality stuff with the systems back then... they work just as well today (specially if you know what you are doing).

Wow.... but I would love to get my hands on RhapsodyThere are a couple copies on ebay right now... but there in North America. And I did come across a copy in Australia last week.

I know that neither of those help. :(

[mark!]

People often forget that 5, 10 and 15 years ago people were making nice quality stuff with the systems back then... they work just as well today (specially if you know what you are doing).

I think a lot of it has to do with compatibilaty with other computers, & such.
A lot of things aren't just supported anymore and it is hard to get work done when you cant find what you need.

But in your case, it is great.

Even if you got a computer jst for internet it would be too.

But right now my stupid iMac (G3) with 1 GB of RAM (450MHz CPU) can't even play TV shows from iTunes.

i think he is being sarcastic. imagine the op using a roll around swivel chair, then imagine him playing a WOW gold farming character on each of those machines simultaneously. rolling from each computer in succession to farm gold by day and ebay it by night. it's the perfect plan...:)

Its the truth!

[RacerX]

lol i think its funny how you are using so many old computers instead of using just one modern oneI can't think of any single computer that does what all mine do.

More importantly, why would I want to drop that kind of money on a system when I really can't justify it? There is hardly anything you can do with computers that I can't do in some way, shape or form with the systems I have now.

And I actually made money while putting together my newest addition (my Beige G3). I got a 20" display, an UltraATA/66 card, an 80 GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a USB card, a G4/533 upgrade, 640 MB of memory and an ATI Radeon 7000... and I still have an additional $50 from the project. I didn't pay out a single cent.


I don't expect that this is the way to go for most people, but it sure works for me. :D

[Moshiiii]

There are not as good as my $90 Bose Companion 2 speakers. The midrange suck on the Stick speakers. I used to have some, very disappointed with sound range.

On the other hand the Bose companion speakers rock, there are 2 import plugs on the back, so I have 2 computers running into my speakers

You can find them cheaper on Amazon. I got my military discounted for $90

No no, there is no story, I actually bought this stand separate from anything else. Since my Powerbook case broke to pieces, I decided to build it into an iMac-style case, and needed a stand. So, there's the stand. The case is gonna be cut, glued and painted in the next few weeks, the parts mounted, and then somehow placed on the stand.

What about the kamas? I saw one the other day in a store and I thought about getting it. It was kind of expensive but I was thinking of getting it for my 17PB. But I may be getting a 17inch MacBook and I didnt know if the specs were the same as the PowerBook.

Thats my big dilema too. I have a ordinary desk chair. I also like to stretch my feet out too. It drives me nuts having to put my feet on top of the wood. If i pull my keyboard/mouse stand out far enough I can just place my feet on the ground, although this causes the monitor to be very far away. Buying an Ikea desk or something of the matter is going to be my next purchase, I just gotta see if the dimensions fit well into my room.

Very sweet! How do you like the dual 2.3?




It's good,

It's Gooood




This thing is really sweet. It has more horsepower than the iMac but it alos has more "torque' (if that makes sense). It is so much faster than the dual processor 1.8 i used to own (hen again so was the imac).

It does the things I really want it to do - kills in PS. It really is the fasted machine I ever owned, although i would have liked the quad. Doesnt matter because I will get the "quad at the time" when Adobe decides it can be bothered to get a universal version out.

Slightly naive to have gotten an iMac for heavy PS

""you live, you learn""

EDIT - Have you considered the Raptor? It's good. It's Goooood. My next move is the PCIe raid controller card and the jive g5 cage for more internal storage - for the price you can't knock it.

Yeah, my dads very good with a saw but I theres other problems with this desk too. The Draw could go, I don't need a draw, as of now it just takes up room. The desk space is very small, since i'm a student I need a large desk (to clutter with books). I just wish I had an Ikea store, I havn't had time to see if Ikea delivers and how much its gonna cost me.

Its apparently not that hard to flash a PC card to be mac compatible, problem is getting one with enough rom and in the case of your cube the right profile and AGP configuration, Just make sure that the flashed 6200 has a working graphics port of your choosing, on some you loose the DVI port or something.

Just for curiosity's sake, can your iBook span onto the 2405?

With help of a certain hack, of course

With the screen hack, yes it can. Otherwise it just mirrors it at resolution (at least 99% of the time 1024x768) that the user has set.

It's called the iTube A4 and is made by a Korean company called iSpeaker. The amp is powered by old style valves, hence the name. Yes, that is the speaker system remote by the keyboard.

No idea if they export them to the US. They should. I think there would be quite a market for them.

Ya i was using it to put my iTunes Window on it but i have a Bose Sound dock which i might start using for my music, and then there is not really reason to have the 2nd display, infact i can use it as a ''docking" place from my iBook in the basement. You have inspired me to change it! :D


The Sound Dock is off to the right

Looks like a 17" (4:3) compared to the iBook. Might be a 15".

Good idea. Thats what I used my NEC for but Im selling it now (see sig) because I'm getting a 15" MBP and I no longer need it and could use the cash.

[zap2]

15'' could be my guess unless gateway did something werid and made it a werid size. It smaller then my 17'' iMac and bigger then my iBook as 15'' is that best guess

Oooo, look at all the pretty colors on that Sony. Although the skin tone seems a bit unnatural. Is it because of the angle or do all skin tones display a bit off.

since you "don't go cheap" have you ever looked into a yamaha receiver. you pay 3x a sony but get 15x the experience. (I am a surround sound specialist and installer by trade, and that's how i recognized your receiver in the first place)

well, I do have my limits. Besides, as a musician, i listen to alot of classical music, and the most important piece of equipment is the speakers, so thats what I focus my money on. big expensive and loud surround systems often have pathetic performance at playing music, but since most people listen to garbage for music and confuse loudness with good quality...

I'm not saying this sony receiver is god, but there is no way any other system will do any better at music, regardless of how nice they are at everything else. the only thing that would reproduce music better is a tube setup, and there is no way I can afford one of those.

Yeah, just erased and installed the old one and I'll leave it in the box by the fireplace for a few days to make sure this one is OK - and it seems to be.

I couldn't imagine working on things on a smaller screen - not saying it to be snobby - just feel that way. It's a great monitor - great for productivity.
