Just saw the flickr photos nice!
But what shocked me was, NO 24" LED ACDS!?!?
At least make one of the two displays your "main" display with the 24" LED ACD!
I know I only have a mere mac mini but I love my display more than anything!
Man two of those in a dual display setup next to a Mac Pro will look very nice
WTF is a SOYO ?
A manufacturer of consumer electronics, much like Samsung, LG, Sony, Apple.
I don't think you could get two of the new LED ACD's to work on the new MacPro. The cable is so short I'm not sure the second monitor would reach even with it on a desk.
OpenGL.
The Quadros are glorified GeForce with better drivers and more RAM. Performance-wise, they wouldn't be very beneficial. I don't believe that Apple will do anything to the clock line until Gulftown.
I mentioned in the descriptions in the Flickr stream that while my Blu-ray/HD DVD drive had its front panel as part of the disk tray itself, it was too tall to remain on. I had to use an Exact-o knife to pry the frontmost panel off to get the drive to open. It's a GGW-H20L from March 2007. 6x BD-R burn speed, which was almost unheard of at the time.
You can't get two Cinema Displays to work with a Mac Pro without two graphics cards, anyway.
The only reason I didn't get LED Cinema Displays is... I can't afford them right now. I got my dual 24s for $500 total on Black Friday two years ago; I couldn't pass up that deal.
I'm a Matte lover and always been. But 99.999999% of the time i cant even tell its glossy. And I owned the 20", 23", 30" ACD in the past before and its THAT much better in quality and color.
Basically it blows all 3 of the previous displays out of the water.
You wouldnt understand it unless your actually sitting infront of one at home.
Looking at an uncalibrated 24" LED ACD just doesnt do justice on the 24" LED ACD when your looking at it at the Apple Store.
Not unless you keep your new Mac Pro on top of a nice big desk. Then you can easily connect both displays to the Mac Pro.
Dunno why, but I can't see it mattering... you're not going to saturate PCIe 1.1 speeds assuming you're getting its 4 GB/s.
Congrats on your system TS. nice setup
I have just got the 2.26 Mac pro + the 24" LED and I agree with you it is just too glossy in the store where hundred of lights there, but at home I don't even notice that it is glossy.
my question is How do you calibrate the 24" LED properly?

Spyder 2, it makes a world of difference! Try the color profile that I have attached.
Most sincere CONGRATULATIONS I know you've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this machine. God, just seeing it makes me so want one!
Can you post a benchmark when you can? Also, is the Mac Pro able to hold SSDs? Apple doesn't mention this anywhere.
Sure, uh... Geekbench 2? I'm sorry to say that I don't have any of the pro applications to test, yet.
You really can't find 3.5" SSDs anymore; 2.5" is the way the industry is heading with everything, anyway.
Size-change brackets exist for people who want to use laptop drives in the Mac Pro.
TransIntl has a proprietary drive sled that can hold two 2.5" drives in the space of one 3.5", but it doesn't work with the Nehalem Mac Pro because of the change in positioning of the SATA ports in the computer (directly on the motherboard instead of hanging separately). I'm sure they'll make a new solution.
Looks like Max Upgrades have now released the 2009 MP 2.5" drive sled adapters..

Any Benchmark, xBench will do fine.
I see, hmm, this got me thinking into something.
Most sincere congrats, you have me on the jealous seat right now.
why is Tallest Skill in time out?
I'm sure others would disagree, however I'm positive your question is outside the scope of this thread. Send him a PM and maybe he'll respond later.
I was unaware there was a "time out". I can see some people on these forums crossing the line eventually.
