computer

Well,

I have an iMac 1Ghz and a Dell Latitude PII 366.

Who thinks i should dump the Dell and get an iBook. I do!

 

[jholzner]

I have a PowerMac G4 400 AGP and an original Bondi Blue iMac 233Mhz. Oh, and a Mac Classic...that never gets used.

I primarily use the G4 'cause it's much faster...I have OS X 10.2 on both.

Don't use one at work, unless you count the gps in the plane.

Sweet box, man. What do you think of the Shuttle cases? Are they featured enough that you'd recommend one for use as a headless file server? BTW, that thing must absolutely SCREAM!

I love my ShuttleX. I don't know what features you need for a headless file server.

I don't know if it screams, but it's definitely faster than my iBook. It's the fastest computer I've ever used, but I haven't used that many high end machines. The processor has a 400 Mhz bus so I imagine the 533's are faster.

And just between you and me, it's overclocked to 2.1 Ghz. With standard cooling. Running at 44 degrees C.

Wow. I'm sure it's fast, as my P4 1.8 running Red Hat 9.1 is a monster. That's a nice temperature to be sitting at with an OC that high and that tiny case, too. Super cool project, man. Do you have any pictures of the project that you could post?

 

[pilotgi]

Stand by.

 

[pilotgi]

Well, I would post some pics but I can't figure out how to upload them.

Tips anyone?

 

[vniow]

Click on the 'browse' button at the bottom of the post when you reply, you should get a little window that pops up to where you can search for the file you want to upload, just as long as it's one of the specified extentions and under 100k.

my machines

At work: 800Mhz G3 iMac (Snow), and one of each other latest-model Apple, becuase I work at a local reseller.

At home:
1) 12" PowerBook G4, combo drive, 256 RAM, AirPort Extreme card, etc. (Would like to max out the RAM - this is my personal computer.)

2) Dell Dimension 4550, P4 2.0GHz, 256MB DDR SDRAM @266, 64MB GF4MX, 80GB HD, 40/10/40 CDRW, 17" CRT monitor, running XP Home (Want to set this up to 512 and stick a ATI card in it to handle my games better.. since that is it's main use for me, secondary being mp3/picture/mpg storage... it's primarily an entertainment machine.)

3) Motorola.. don't remember the full stats on this, its an old Mac clone. About 6 years old. Have a processor upgrade card to mimic a 333MHz G3. It has 2GB HD, about 96MB RAM with a 800MB external drive attached and a 15" CRT monitor.

Edit: Obviously the picture is not attached. So, after I use browse to select my picture, how do I attach it?
