How big is your monitor?

[yg17]

How big is your monitor?

20 inches

[iGary]

Recognize the slowness.

Compared to what?

[toothpaste]

Compared to what?

Compared to the new intel chips.

Or the fact that your Quad is beaten by a laptop like the macbook pro at almost everything. Recognize the slowness, iGary.

I recognize that the PPC is an antiquated technology so should you.

Recugnayuz!!
:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Are you a willy waver or something?
I'm getting sick and tired hearing this crap on any Mac forum. Soon as Intel comes out its fast forward of PPC bashing, but before then how quick like this example is that people were defending PPC.

Its like a pack of wild dogs.

[Shotglass]

Ever use CS2 on an MBP, toothpaste?

[Sharewaredemon]

iGary uses CS2 daily, so his maxed out Quad will still beat the pants off a maxed out Intel quad running CS2 in Rosetta, until there are UBs of that and some other Pro apps, it makes sense to stick with PPC, but for other things I agree that the Intel chips are fast as heck.

[interlaced]

Question then, a little nooby, whats that thinger in the top left corner of your OS X desktop?

AdiumX (http://www.adiumx.com/). :D

[zflauaus]

As a MacRumors fanatic, I will assume the responsibilty to halt this argument, or at least until the next person argues.:D

Excuse the wires hanging everywhere. The cable routers aren't helping at all. Any suggestions? I've tried zip ties, don't work.

BTW: Notice anything new and shiny in my setup?

Cough... Cough... The DS Lite... Cough... And The Headphones.

Uh, there's a nice cuddly site to toothpaste, I think. We just haven't seen it yet.

Love the speakers, full sound, good bass, and they also match the ACD perfectly.

I have a total of 4 harddrives, the external drive to the right ( on the bottom) is a dvd-rw. The ministack runs tiger, one of the external hdd is a backup of that. The mini hdd has windows, and the last ext hdd holds all my media backups.

Man there's something about a Mac Mini + Apple Cinema Display that is sooo freakin appealing to me. Must resist and wait for MBP... gah.

arcsbite: That is really cool setup dell moniter + blackbook. very nice looking.

Ok, this is a bit early, as my Mac Pro hasn't been delivered yet, but I was playing around in Photoshop and made this mockup.

This is what my setup will look like when I've got my new Mac Pro and Cinema Display 23" in about three weeks. Can't wait!

What do I use it for? Sometimes I get to work at home and I work as a Researcher. So I need an extremely powerful workstation to run Mathematica calculations and fluid/flow dynamics. I can also send out the major tasks via Xgrid to my work's processing nodes/farm. That's it in a nutshell!

The picture, yeah it was crooked! I banged my head *really* good underneath the desk. I'm pretty sure that's what moved my 747.

Here's a pic of my new setup. Specs are in the sig. The display is a Dell 1707FP. It's a great display, but I'd like to eventually upgrade to a widescreen.

I took the pic pretty close up, so you couldn't see all the wires under the desk. :D

Oh yeah, I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse now, too. The mouse in this pic is a Logitech.

Nice man, your monitor looks bigger than 17" for some reason!

[Josias]

Nice man, your monitor looks bigger than 17" for some reason!

Because it stands next to a MacMini:p

I really want a MacPro, yet there's no way I would be able to afford one. I aso want a Mini or an iMac, but I need laptop. I have an MB, but I'd much rather prefer a MacBook Pro, and I wanna get one as soon as they ship with Leopard and iLife '07...:D

Anyways, I'll soon get my BT MM, and I'll completely rearrange my room, so before August 31st, I'll have a brand new setup...:D

Yea I definitely think the 20 ACD + MacPro would be able to fit. The sony lcd in my picture was 19in but 4:3 instead of widescreen so it might be a tighter squezze on the sides but you can relocate the speakers onto the shelf. Be prepared to protect your computer from your roomies lol. They'll probably start drooling once they see your setup.

You telling me that you use a 30" Apple Cinema Display and an Apple Keyboard with a Wincan? Why don't you get a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and iSight now you've started Have you considered getting a MacPro?

Yea after getting my first powerbook 3 years ago Ive been hooked on apple. I guess I've been gradually readying my desktop. Its pretty funny when everyone assumes its an apple computer from just seeing the desk. The BT mighty would be a nice match but I just cant get over its ergonomics, it would take more getting used to than I would like.

The MacPro is definitely on my list especially since it can dualboot, but Im still hurting from buying the ACD a year ago...I know eventually I wont be able to resist!

Why is the 17" pb a POS?
because it (that particular one) has an endless amount of problems. *shakes fist at it*

[dornoforpyros]

I hate to say it, but the old cinema displays are far classier than their modern day siblings (which I am fortunate enough to own a 20" model of)

Nice setup iBlue and hardline!

Personally I agree, that's why I choose to buy an older 20" as oppose to the newer ones. But having said that, after using the older style for a year now I can see why they changed.

The older one's take up more space than the need, plus the bezel is friggin huge, making dual monitor setups in effective. Plus they slant back somewhat and the actual viewing area can't be put at a 90 degree angle with your face. Over all their just not as adjustable.

But they still are dead sexy

Right, so those were my old photos. I repainted my room, and stuff, so my setup looks ALOT nicer.

P.S. Once Merom MBPs come out, that will also be on my desk, along with a Wireless Apple Keyboard and Wireliess Mightymouse for my iMac, and a Wireless Mightymouse for my MBP, so it should look SWEET!! I can't wait!

I think I'll save up for an old iMac G4. Dunno what I'd do with it. Maybe just keep it around to look pretty :p

heh, heh, well what happened was, the gf pressed one of those buttons that only they know exist, and I picked up the keyboard and smashed it down onto the edge of the table as hard as I could. The whole room was instantly filled with little key board bits. It took me about 4 hours to find every last bit spring clip and key and put it all back together. It works fine though. That's one tough mutha. I tried to buy a new one on ebay last week but even though it was used it sold for AUD$70, and they only cost $50 delivered from the apple store.

Well I thought i'd get round to posting mine, so here is my uber eMac.

Specs are: 800MHz PPC G4

DL DVD±RW (16x, 8x Dual Layer) (Was Combo)

JBL Creature 2s
Microsoft IntelliMouse (Best mouse i've ever owned)
Apple Wired Keyboard

Original 4 GIG Blue iPod Mini (MINT Cond, could still be brand new) +iTrip and Blue iPod Sock.

Motorola V3i

All very yummy, roll on the Mac Mini upgrades tho, I think its time for an Intel switch for myself. G4 is still good, but its getting a little outdated now.

Hi there,

When I was waiting for my Mac Pro to arrive I loved to see unboxing pictures to make the wait more bearable. So I decided to give the ones still waiting a chance to see more of those.

This is the standard 2.66 version of Mac Pro so this ain't nothing you guys haven't seen before... but it took it's time to arrive to my country. Now I'm just waiting for the X 1900 XT and the ram to arrive here too (the Apple store here didn't get any extra ram) because I ordered 4gb instead of 1gb.

So here you go... The pics:

And the back

http://aycu33.webshots.com/image/3592/2003793667982847503_rs.jpg
And opened up. The hard drive is a WD Caviar SE but I put in a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 which seems to be much quieter.

And the ram risers with the way to little 1gb

http://aycu31.webshots.com/image/4270/2003725167486344980_rs.jpg
And a fan.


I Hope this calms the ones waiting down a bit.

In the last pic, what are those bays labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4?

[MacsAttack]

In the last pic, what are those bays labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4?

Those are the slots into which the end of full length PCIe cards slot. The number matches to PCIe slots (see the graphics card picture).

The gap between 1 and 2 is wider because slot one is able to accomodate double width cards.

Note - the cards slot in between the "bays" - just thought I'd clarify that point.

Just another of those little things that show the attention to detail that went into the Mac Pro

http://aycu29.webshots.co/2628/2003780074983740567_rs.jpg
... and unwrapped

http://aycu02.webshots.c81/2003781596906972445_rs.jpg
Some details here

And the back

And opened up. The hard drive is a WD Caviar SE but I put in a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 which seems to be much quieter.

Here is the temporary graphics card

And the ram risers with the way to little 1gb

http://aycu31.webshots.com/im3725167486344980_rs.jpg
And a fan.


I Hope this calms the ones waiting down a bit.
Hmm, I think I would put some kind of cap over the RAM risers... If I worked for Apple design.

[viccles]

I think that if I got a Mac Pro I would have no idea what to do with it :D Looks more for professional users

Yeah, it definitely is. Most people wouldn't ever use more than 20-30% of the cpu :)

I still want it though...I'll pick it up when they upgrade to Leopard...!!!

I wouldn't. yeah... it doesn't look as cool but its nice to have the really easy access to the ram.

Okay, I'll clarify my statement.

It's official! All animals love Macs better than PCs! Except SuSE Linux. The lizards are really big on that. Wonder if anything has to do with that?

Cough... SuSE's logo is a lizard, Cough...

Glass never dissapoints me:P

[viccles]

Ahh despite my best efforts my setup will never ever be that clean. I love it David :) so simple yet so classy

[vohdoun]

Glass desks are so lovely, and so are those speakers how they match the anodised silver!

Is that a 20" or a 23"?

Some people's shots of 20's look like 23's and some 23's look like 30's all depends on the angle...

[Mord]

my 23" definately does not look like a 30", though not like a 20" either, but not quite 23", probably around 22" ish...... :o

I know you weren't asking me... but my AL speakers make a buzzing sound when my phone is doing something. I think it's only GSM phones - I didn't have a problem with buzzing from CDMA phones.

Yeah, that happens to me too. I think it's to do with them not being shielded or something. I have Klipsch now and they never buzz or anything.

Everyone that has them loves them. I have one but I don't use it right now because my brother split water on my Apple keyboard and havent bought a new one. Yes, they are expensive for just a plastic stand... but they look amazing and are very high quality. I could sit on it and it probalby wouldn't break. It also has pads on the top so your new MB wont slide off it.

[interlaced]

I got a new, smaller desk and I'm reading a new book. ;) You can barely see my BT FCP keyboard in the back. It's run out of batteries and I'm too lazy to buy new ones.

i have two of them they are so good, :rolleyes: one for work one for home

[motherduce]

I have an iCurve - love it. Definitely worth the $20-$25 or so (if you find a deal).

[nosen]

iCurve is a great accesory. Pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you can go from desktop to laptop very easily! :)

me too, for example last night when i was trying to get some sleep before first day of school, the bloody things were going crazy so i unplugged the suckers

I know this is off topic but speaking of buzzing... Those with PowerMac G5's has anybody ever had buzzing sounds from their machine when the likes of dimmer light switches are on...

I don't have a G5, but I know that dimmer switches do interfere with the power. A line conditioner might (read:might) fix the problem.

Thank you all, but to be completely fair, I will devulge a couple secrets about my setup.

1. That furniture there....yeah its particle board. So in all reality it is quite shotty and can be picked up at any IKEA store.

2. The HD i got picked up for 90$ US (acomdata)

3. The pen holder and manual holder were around 7 dollars

I HATE WIRES AND CORDS...LIKE LEPROSY THEY ARE!

Sorry I don't have a picture of everything yet. I have to clear off the PowerMac, the Cube is at my place of employment, I sold a bunch of the laptops and the G4 is collecting dust. Eventually I'll get you guys a picture of the G5 though.
