Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

[inlimbo]

Thats one heck of a monitor. Is it a TV or a monitor? Ive always wanted to hook my MBP to the TV if it was possible :P

Viccles that is possible! Did you MBP not come with one of those cords? I forget what they are called but my PB came with one. I don't own a DVD player so I use the PB and hook it up to the tv.

MBP only comes with a DVI>VGA converter, nothing to plug into a regular TV.

Unless you were only going to use it for Front Row, there's not much point in doing it because CRT TVs generally have very low resolution...

[Benjamindaines]

I notice a few of the posters have mouse pads? Why is that? I havent used a mousepad in years
Well, I have mine because of the wood table. It causes the mouse to jump with it hits the grain.

[Shotglass]

I just rearranged my iMac, and finally have something that can compete with the backwards man (iCloud :p )

Nice!

The PowerBook G4 came with the things to hook it up(throught s-Video)..it looks good for video and moives but for web browsing its looks bad..however for 19bucks you can do it

(thats the DVI solutions, there is an S-Vidoe adapter also, both work in the same way) You'll also need another Composite Cable

Westinghouse calls it HD LCD Monitor...it doesn't have a Built-in Tuner, which is not an issue because I have my Bell ExpressVu HD 6100 STB and Rogers 8300HD-PVR...I'm currenty using all 5 HD connections...!!!

[Shotglass]

5 HD connections...!!!
:eek: WOOAAAH!!! Alright, I hate you now. :P

[crazycat]

This is my mac mini + PC (the pc is down towards the right and its not in the pic).

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.

Isnt the screen way tooooooooooo far from where you will be sitting?

[Benjamindaines]

Isnt the screen way tooooooooooo far from where you will be sitting?
Nope, I like it farish, if it's too close it just hurts my eyes. Plus I usually lean on the table anyway :D

Cool, thanks! A little on the expensive side... but very cool! I might ask for one for Christmas or something... ;)

[MacHarne]

phobus, two quick questions, please.

How is the monitor mounted or placed? It seems almost to float.

Where are those speakers from? I made a pair of speaker absolutely identical to those when I was in high school, used Eminence parts and a cabinet I worked from cherry.

Other than that, the setup is gorgeous. Congrats.

How do you like the Mirra chair, I opted not to get one because the back wasn't padded at the time so I wen Aeron. Great chairs but a touch pricey:rolleyes:

[iVersa]

I brought my ibook home from the office, had all three running and thought it was picture worthy..

Looks damn slick when it's tidy. I see you have a 17" PB, but is that a G5 or Cure Duo?

[cleanup]

I see you have a 17" PB, but is that a G5 or Cure Duo?

FYI, it's got no iSight, so it's a G5... also known as a G4. ;)

[Temujin]

Finally got around to taking the picture. 15in MBP 2.0/1gb/7200rpm 100gb/256 vRAM, iPod 5g 30gb white (and 3g 15gb, not shown), Cingular RAZR, Logitec 518 lazer mouse, black Creature IIs.
You mean a 2.16 Ghz 15" MBP? (the vram doesn't make sence) and yes I'm a bit anal I know

[iVersa]

yes, I meant the iMac.

iMac is a G5 20" with a 2.1ghz processor and 1.5gb ram. 250gb hd

Powerbook is a g4 with 1.33ghz processor and 1gb of ram. 80gb hd

iBook is a g4 with 1.33ghz processor and 1.5gb of ram. 40gb hd

No, before the speedbumd, they had 1.83 and 2.0 GHz models with respectively 128 and 256 MB VRAM. He just bought it before the speedbump;)

What's that on top of your Mac Pro? Some sort of sound thing?

[Bobdude161]

That thing is atrocious. :(

x2 It must be hard to type on that thing. Looks like a big red block with buttons.

[Moshiiii]

http://web.mac.com/phil.wu/iWeb/Site/Library%202_files/deck.jpg

I'm not sure If I personaly like it, but majority of the pictures here have the standard white keyboard. So props for standing out!

[tjcampbell]

Over the years I've had my share of good things, but usually I trade in to upgrade. However I've been running off my 12" for some time now. Great machine. Battery sucks though and is not part of the recall. Thinking about eventually progressing to a black macbook.

This is basically my audio / video and it really does rock for home cinema / downloads etc... Concert DVD's are incredible!!

12" PowerBook 1GHz PowerPC G4 1.25 GH DDR SDRAM
Infocus X2 DLP Projector with DVI to PB and 10ft screen
Logitech Z5500 Digital PC THX Multimedia Home Theatre Speaker System - with optical connection (laser mounted in lounge)
Samsung SM940MW 19in Wide LCD HDTV/Monitor (bedroom)
Harmon Kardon Soundsticks (bedroom)
2GB Black iPod Nano
1st Gen iPod (still works)
:D

[phobus]

I should have said that I am a recent Switcher... so not all of my stuff is silver or white :D

Monitor Arm .. I forget the manufacturer


Where are those speakers from? I made a pair of speaker absolutely identical to those when I was in high school, used Eminence parts and a cabinet I worked from cherry.

They're Totem Model Ones, made in Canada :)


That thing is atrocious.


Hehe not everyone's cup of tea... but the keyboard is kind of the same shape as the original Mac keyboard.


What's that on top of your Mac Pro? Some sort of sound thing?

Yeah, its a Zhaolu digital to analog converter.

Dust, maybe? If you didn't use it that often I suppose you may as well shut it.

I don't have a desk in my current flat, so here's my current setup. ;) Thought it was quite a nice photo though, if you don't mind feet. :p

I find sometimes it is weird having that little lens at you.

Also to keep enemies from other worlds from teleporting through the iSight using it as a Stargate. (Sorry if I don't have the correct terminology, I don't watch the show but my friends dad is obsessed with it)

Can't beat a good high spec 20" imac!

(well I suppose you could with a macpro and 30" cinema display - But I cant afford that ;) :D )

[Schroedinger]

okay, here's what I've got. Panning from left to right:

Guitar
Mac Pro with external HD sitting on top (and little Ray Lewis figure)
Scanner
23 inch ACD and 17 inch second monitor
xbox 360 controller for windows (to play the games)
under the right side of the ACD you can see my USB audio hub, that connects the comp to the stereo on the lower right
Obviously there are the two stereo speakers and you can see the sub right under the keyboard
further right we have my midi keyboard
above the ACD is my studio mic
and above that my airport extreme base station
there is a second external hard drive next to the printer

I've also got an emac in the other room that just runs little tasks for me, like downloading things that take a while to download

Yeah, the adhesive is sort of like a post-it note but a firmer hold. I had it on for a month and tested taking it off. piece of cake and not a bit of residue. It stuck right back on as good as the first time.

Is that a joke or... It's the 4th of septmeber homie.

Sweet MBP, that would be EXACTLY what I would have gotten if I had my MBP. But now it will most likely be 2.33GHz, 2GB ram, biggest HD.

My bet would be he's in another country --

In the US, the date would be written as MM/DD/YYYY, but (if I'm not mistaken), in many other countries, it's written as DD/MM/YYYY.

Why have a Mini and iMac side by side? What do you use one for, that you can't do on the other? Just curious....:o

Well, my initial intention was to setup a small home server (mini is quiet and energy efficient). But it didn't work out well, so now I just use them parallel :D

[Veritas&Equitas]

Here's my setup:

[Killyp]

Wow dude why do you need two powerbooks at the same time?

[toothpaste]

here's my setup, i'm using the imac with ubuntu, its VERY difficult to find support and software for ubuntu running on powerpc. if anyone knows where i can find software that would be great. still have the same imac core duo and macbook. the macbook is dead at the moment because theres no OS and my restore disk is scratched and fails to install os x. the cell phone is a loner from rogers becaseu my RAZR is getting fixed after i dropped it :o

well my biggest beef with it is that i had all of my movies and music on there and i couldn't play any of it, the media player that comes wiht it doens't work. and i couldn't find any others that worked in ubuntu on a powerpc mac. it doesn't matter now though becaue i took ubuntu off it and put tiger on and i now use the computer for all my music to stream to my other imac when i'm using windows, and for dvd's and movies and downloading. OS X is still so much easier

Above you can see my MacBook Pro, and Xbox. The display can be used by either. Behind the MacBook Pro is a 160GB HD dedicated exclusively to videos. Also, I'm proud of the customized mousepad I had made. Nothing spectacular, though.

You do know that Ubuntu doesn't ship out of the box with alot of codecs. You
need to install them manually or via automatix.

I have the vesa adapter to mount the Apple Display but its currently on a cart with wheels.....I've never seen anyone on here with their ACD mounted, anyone got a link to one?
I'm also looking to add an external hard drive to the setup....anyone got any stellar systems to recommend? I've heard horror stories about the Porsche one on the Apple website

because sometimes its good to have a 15" notebook... and sometimes you can bring the 17" and if you need portable the MacBook (13") Also, sometimes the 17" displays arent big enough on all of them so thats why you have a 23".

kidding. :p

Look at it like this. He owns one of the PowerBooks, maybe not Intel. The ACD is for hooking up either the MacBook or the Powerbook and using as a desktop. Macbook is his, wanted an Intel Mac and also wanted to keep his still fast PowerBook... As for the other powerbook, I dunno, provided by work?

a 30incher might look more impressive mounted. heh.

but I agree, I never really got into the wall-mounted monitors. Not to mention the fact that I am constantly adjusting the angle of my monitor depending on how I'm sitting (slouched, straight up, etc).. mounting it would take away a lot of the adjustability, would it not?

That would depend on the mount.

It worries me that the star wars are on the wall. It reminds me of my old place where my boyfriend took over three walls that were 12x15, 12x12, and 12x10 and still had more to hang. Once we moved I protested. Even though I enjoy the figures myself, I felt like I was going nuts with all of them on the wall. ;)

[CellarDoor]

Is he obliged to post them or something?

course not, but he's definitely fanning the flames, without giving any information. Most of the posts on this thread state that the poster believes the OP, but would like to know what display/macpro config/etc.

I think if you start a thread with a title like that you are obliged to at least answer people.

I think it's a great idea that you used those macs to start out with and get a feeling for the OS. Whenever you upgrade now the machine is going to feel amazingly fast. It seems that you don't need speed because you're a basic user, but that new widescreen computer would call out to me anyways!

You have a nice 3 monitor setup, the only suggestion that I have is if you can and want to to clean up the cables to make it look a bit cleaner, aside from that it's really nice.:)

AMD Athlon 706 MHz, 384 MB of RAM, 200 Mhz FSB,ATI Radeon 7000 64MB Dual display output, 30 Gig PATA HDD, Windows XP Home Edition SP(with various mods as you can see lol).

It kind of does the job, though the newest game i can play(with nothing else running) is Need for speed underground with mid range settings.

Takes me back to 2000... sigh. I have my fondest computer memories from 1997-2000. Back in the days of 3Dfx with their Voodoo2 graphics cards and Pentium II/Pentium III processors. Oh oh and PC100 memory. I played so much Diablo, Starcraft and Quake back in those days it was crazy!

YES indeed those Denons are incredible. My boyee has got 2 of them but on PC.

What mixer do you use and how if you do get GarageBand to work with them?!

[toothpaste]

I'll chime in as well :)

That is really nice. What music app are you using along with the Denon? The background is sweet, do you have a linky link?

[macOSX-tastic]

The background is sweet, do you have a linky link?

the background is one of the standard backgrounds supplied with OS X. it's called "clown fish".

if you're not on OS X, it can be found here (http://www.alltimetv.com/www.WinMatrix.com/Apple_OSX_Tiger_Wallpapers/Clown%20Fish.jpg)(a quick search on google).

I use a Stanton SMX-501. It's a nice hybrid since you can adjust the fader curve so you can do long smoooth mixes as well as scratch. I just use Audio Recorder to capture the mix and then I just add track markers and burn to CD. I'll have to buy some software to do some editing for one of those 'megamix' type recordings where you mix heaps of tracks really early.

[Supa_Fly]

Thanks dude!

speaking of which v7.1 sucks on WinXP SP2 its screwed up all my music. distortion.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has pics how how they set up Tri/Quad monitors.
I have a new setup shipping, 3-4 weeks(sucks), you can see the specs in my sig.
I have never used quad monitirs but would be interested in seeing setups that take advantage of this.

Thanks in advance guys:D

Thanks for the input!

Hehe. The thingies under it are cardboard pieces, so i can slide it around easily. I used a glass plate before, but i have not brought that with me yet. ;)

lol clean up wires!? I'd like to see who can and has cleaned up their wires.

me? i gave up :) as simple as that. the only thing i could do was to tie them up as best possible and put labels on them, near the power cord end so i kind of know what is what :)

You should get a real desk...

Oh yeah youre right, sry that looks a bit cramped yeah.

[Markleshark]

Tiz. I have about a foot in which extra I can play with, been looking for a desk for a while now, but I need a desk/propper computer table if you know what I mean

[Shotglass]

Markleshark, have you considered building one yourself? It's not too aesthetical, but it's cheap and stuff.

[Markleshark]

I have designed a one, using like inch box section and checker plate and stuff, wouldn't be looking at that much to get one fabricated (I have a couple of friends/contacts that are welders) only thing is weight. Inch box section and checker plate would be fudging heavy, also, it would be very cold. Not that that would affet my Mac Mini (Prolly better, really) but it would affect my arm. hehe.

I really designed it to go with my eMac, so I guess now I have the Mini it could do with a bit of a re-design and get round to getting it sorted. I don't want to use wood, because everything else in my room is metal, or metal-coloured.

[Shotglass]

Well, metal should warm up when you lay your hands down on it, and definitely looks stylish, but have it your own way. But what about a desk set for laying your arms on? Pricey, sure, but that would solve that problem.

Oh, I understand it would prolly warm up, I do want to use Inch box section and checkerplate, main thing is just getting round to it.

Pardon my ignorance (As its prolly something that I should know) but what do you mean by a desk set?

[Shotglass]

It's not your ignorance, it's my translation. You know these huge pads (leather mostly) that you put on a desk so that you can put your arms + paper and stuff on them?

nice! how do you like it? oh, and hey, how's the finish on it? like a black macbook? looks kinda to be the same matte finish, but I wasn't sure.

Ahhhhh, I know what you mean now. Good shout. Thanks for that idea :D

Also, and on a different note, although I would still accept one for free, I have recently decided I reallllllly don't like the keyboard on the MacBook. I just dont like the design of the keys at all. Just a personal thing tho

I would move the sub away from your Mac mini, as the magnets in your sub don't go well with the hardrive in the mini. Leave around 1 metre distance :)

There's magnets in the sub? *Moves it*
