Hey, how do you like that s530? I'm planning on getting one, but still hesitating. Would you recommend it?
And is that a silver/white mouse O.o ???

Do you mean 333 MHz? Instead of upgrading the drive and ram I would invest in a refurb, cause that can't be fun using OSX on that setup.

Yes, I meant 233MHz, I bought it used. The box said 333Mhz but the computer was 233. I also think I may get rid of my iMac for a PowerMac G4 ~450MHz.

Yea, your setup is great! I need the new power adaptor for my PB, for some reason Apple canceled my order and didn't tell me. I wish I had an iMac DV (TIGER!), I could overclock mine to 366MHz or 400MHz (which I think I will do.)

That model of tangerine iMac should either be 266 MHz or 333 MHz. Don't know what happened...but nice pictures everyone!

I know what it should be, but I think the last owner had it "fixed" and they put a Bondi Rev A LB in it.

No it's standard, and when I say standard I mean a lot of the cream coloured paint has bubbled up, which is why it's closed in the photo! Still a great Mac though.

Don't worry after a little gaming, ive booted back into Tiger, my native home. I think i need a stick of ram though because im getting some serious lagging in games. Good thing it's under a hundred bucks for 1gb.

Well I`m off to pick up my 20" iMac from apple. Not sure what to think of it since I had nothing but troubles with the MBP and now since I`m stuck with over $3000 worth of store credit I`m going to pick up an iMac with 1GB Ram and 256VRAM. I`m also getting and iPod nano with the dock and AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes.

Once I have everything set up I`ll post my workstation setup. By the way I love all of the setups you guys have.

Normally I'd agree, but I've found with my creature speakers I actually prefer to have it higher up.

As a main stereo to fill a room, disappointing. On my Mac desktop, awesome!

Dude, clean up your desk.
Kidding .
Great equipment, but it's too much on one desk. put the sub on the floor and get a wallhanger for the Sennheiser, and you should be fine.

They're not bad, definately a step up from the built in speakers. I just use them for some casual gaming and iTunes when I'm on the computer, and I'm fairly happy with them. I think if I did more with video or was more serious about gaming I'd probably just spend a bit of extra money and get a higher end system though.

if youre only web browsing and not using any other apps...why not use the browser at full screen? doesnt bother me, unless people use 5 different apps at once and complain how long it takes to get from one app to another.
