The PB is the older version that has a decent display... No equipment is too much or too expensive when your profession and income relies entirely on them. (And also mortgage)

I also have my old 20" aluminum Cinema Display as a secondary display with the 30", but I'm going to sell it because there's really no need for a second display with the 30"

Crazy rich (and stupid) people buy rims or a sofa that costs as much as my setup, or a SUV that costs ten times more... SHEESH!

The W800i is a very nice camera/mp3 player and also a good phone, I even sold my iPod for it.

Here's my contribution to this excellent thread. I have just retired my Quicksilver and got a new G5. Didn't see many of the new dual cores here, so I though I would post mine just for fun. Enjoy.

I wondered what card that was at first, its unusually thin that 7800 GT is it? Does .4.3 come pre-installed with the Quads?

[Chad A Wright]

My Quad had 10.4.2 preinstalled. I had to do an update to get to .4.3. Wonderful machine. We finished my office this weekend, so I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance.

[radwerx]

nah. had to upgrade the installation. Yes all reference 7800s come with this thin heatsink fan combo, unlike the 6800s

Is that little chip/tab on the side of the card for SLI?? do you think SLI will be an option any time soon?

[G5man]

Nice setup radwex do you like how the computer is literally a focal point?

[radwerx]

Heh heh, I view it as a work tool, so attention or not doesn't matter to me very much. As for SLI, I don't think Apple to bring SLI to the Powermac anytime soon. The tab is probably a reference design and they just had to put in a new BIOS for it to work with our Macs.

my brand new setup; the pictures were taken on day two of my Quad-era. Day one I've spent hiding cords and cables.

- Powermac G5 Quad
- Apple Cinema HD 30" TFT
- Bose Companion 3 Spkrs

Wow! Very clean setup!

[the macimum]

I have heard good things about those Bose speakers, but I have also heard bad things, I'm sure they're good quality, but are they even optical audio? And I don't think they get very loud, 150 total watts? I believe. And they're not surround (which isn't that bad), is this true? Do you like them? Do you care?

[Todd Madson]

I've been putting this off since my place is a mess....


Transferring data from the G4/400 to the G5 2.5 dual.


Open side of the G5 2.5 dual.


With the monitors finally in place.

Someday I'll clean the studio and post a proper photo set.

[G5man]

Chris_here that is an amazingly simple but awesome setup. What are you going to use the Quad for? Todd, you sure got alot of stuff and not enough space to put stuff from what it looks like. ß

Todd: I want that Studio Preamp almost as much as I want a G5. Nice pile of stuff there.

yeah, I do care. they're pretty much what I was looking for, I like them, they're loud enough. But these ain't no studio monitors though. Funny thing is the day after I ordered them the price went up a 100 Swiss Francs ($80.-, at the apple store Switzerland).

Using it? Hey this is one piece of art, something to look at, nothing you "use"!

There's a funny story behind how I got that Mesa preamp but I'll spare the G5
obsessed for the moment.

And if you'll notice there's also a TC Electronic BLD sitting on top of the rack.

It's basically one of several stompboxen but generally it's guitar -> boogie ->
Lexicon vortex -> mixer -> G5. Works pretty sweet I must admit especially
since I'm going digital out from the mixer and digital in on the G5. A cool rig.

Glad you like the setup, I just wish I could get the place cleaned up before the
holidays are over.

Just got a dual 2 G5 today with 20" ACD & 7800 card (haven't unpacked it yet) -- nice to unload the 17" Applevision. New militant-radical librarian snap to come...

[G5man]

What's the G5 replacing? I know it's a G4 PowerMac but which version of the G4?

[radical_librarian]

Replacing g4 400 upgraded to 1.2 -- 8500 video card. Now have installed the G5 with 7800 and should have the 20" monitor tomorrow (FedX 'lost' the one I ordered, had to have the apple folks send another)http://forums.macnn.com/images/smili...school/eek.gif
