Thanks champ!
They become normal, when i had one it seemed huge after a while it seemed more like a 23 inch screen. Now the 23 inch screen seems really really small. I'm only impressed at certain times... like when someone else is using the system and I get a different perspective of it.
The performance was nice on the MBP except for the sparkles/flickering problem on the the 30 inch display when I initially hook it up. the MBP had no problem playing HD resolution flicks on the 30 incher. often used it for that purpose.

Had this desk custom built for my Mac setup, Mac Pro 3.0 GHz, Apple 30", Samsung 214t's on the sides on Ergotron floating arms mouted to the back of the unit. Pull out shelves for the Mac and Brother printer/scanner/coper, APC/router/firewall/usb hubs hidden in other drawer. Hidden cable routing between the two sides.

A 30" soon feels like a normal old display. Now I want something bigger (hehehe). I need to buy a 20" or something to sit beside by 30" to gain some perspective!

Sparkles/Flickering. I had that on my 30" when I initially got it. Apply replaced the display for me.

I noticed the sparkles/flickering only on the MacBook Pro when innitially powered on or awoken from sleep... after a while it would disappear. I have it now connected to a quad G5 and no signs of that problem.

I just sold my Power Mac dual G5 2.5 on eBay and grabbed a 3GHz Mac Pro. I had both in the house for a few days and took some side-by-sides. They make an interesting photo series, I think. Have a look:
My Mac Pro
One shot from the series:
( Anyone noting the GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL in the G5 will wonder about the lowly GeForce 7300 in the Pro. I've got an ATI X1900 is on backorder right now! )
I also just put up pics of the Apple Lisa 2 I acquired last year. It's a little less powerful than a Power Mac or Mac Pro, but I thoght I'd pass on, as well.

It's amazing how the G5s are 2-3 times as big as the xeon but it's half as fast.

Well, the cooling mechanisms might be, but as for the chips themselves, the Woodcrest Xeons are larger than the dual core G5s. There's 4MB of L2 cache per chip! That takes up half the silicon.
Unlike the Pentium 4, the Woodcrest is based on sound principles and is a robust chip. Fast, it is.

I can't stand those 80mm? delta fans in the G5, they are insanely loud. I heard theres no sound when you put the system under any stress with the Mac Pro now... loading images in your browser, PS and so on. It's quite annoying when the G5 fans whir up and down when working or even the smallest thing as dashboard.
It's even worse if you do a file system check, you would think the G5 was going to take off!
Looks like the Mac Pro has 120mm fans now, less speed and noise but pushes more air.

Nice pics blakespot! I saw your thread on macrumors, and i was quite pleased to see the differences of the Mac Pro and the PM G5 side by side, great work! I would love to get one of these babbies, although i think my MBP is taking care of my computer work qutie nicely, so going out and spending big bucks on a new machine like this might not be needed! 
I hope it treats you well!

I love how fikseGTS has to blur out all his photos for security reasons.
