Either way, congrats on a nice system.

thanks for the compliments fellas. i made the wallpaper from Apple Store images.

and, yes, that is a 23 (see sig).

that is my work rig. this is my home set up:

BTW, FWIW, I posted this on another thread, but here's my thumper: liquid cooling, lots of ram, lots of hard drives, a dust filter, a roof, wheels, and most importantly a clear side panel so I can periodically reassure myself by looking inside...

T. Diddy · Jan 26, 2005, 03:31 PM

SWEET! you got some nice add-ons there.

gee308 · Feb 3, 2005, 11:51 PM

Can you post the same wallpaper for that resolution for the 23" lcd, thanks

yes indeed. QT is fantastic for late-night food...needs. it's a 44oz cup, but if you look close you can see the 32oz cup inside it

I'm a regular at the one on 11th between Harvard and Delaware. (obviously, because it's by TU)

sure, here it is http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...huffle1600.jpg

this is 1600x1024 (i use a 22" at home and my 23" is at work, where i am not at this point in time). i assume that because you use a mac u can photoshop it to 1920x1200. if not, just reply again and i'll be happy to post again tomorrow.

MORT A POTTY · Feb 4, 2005, 02:39 AM

thank you for a fantastic idea. my desktop is clean except for mounted volumes and one folder... so now I have created about eight solid colour backgrounds and I put them in a folder and have it alternate the backgrounds every five seconds at random.

I think it looks very cool

anyway, I just wanted to thank your iPod mini background for that idea.

nJm · Feb 4, 2005, 06:16 AM

Just when I was thinking I didn't have anything to contribute to this thread, I just realised I still have this old thing sitting around!

So, ladies and gentlemen put your hands together for the incredibly powerful Apple Power Macintosh 7200/120 workstation

Would be nice to replace this with a G5. Hell, a G4 400 would be a big step up

For now the 'consumer' machines will have to do me (iBook G4 and iMac G5)

Simon · Feb 4, 2005, 06:22 AM

nJm, awesome. At the time, the 7200/7600 case was a godsend; it was so much nicer to open than the 7100 predecessor case. But the keyboard you got with the 7200 really sucked compared to the Apple ADB Pro Keyboard.

Ah, 9.1. the memories...

nJm · Feb 4, 2005, 07:17 AM

You know, I think it came with Os 7.5.3 on it? Maybe 7.6. Either way I'm sure it wasn't OS 8 at that stage (1996). At the moment it is using an iMac G3's OS 9.1 installation disk so its full of unecessary stuff.

I just use it for sound recording stuff every now and then. I can't be bothered buying an iMic for the iBook when I have this old thing sitting around. It is fast enough to record 44100 16bit aiff files

you got to upload it to web space (ie photobucket) and then link it here by the "img" tags and the link to the pic inbetween them.

Oopsie.. I overlooked it. I grew up in Hong Kong.. so I know what you meant.

angelmb · Feb 6, 2005, 09:34 AM

redoid your set-up is so sweet

would be really worth to get a 30 inches display to do 2D work?

bearcat2000 · Feb 6, 2005, 09:36 AM

OK, finally got it! Yeah!!! What else do it need???

thanks.

2D work with it? Why not? The difference in price aint that big between the 23 and the 30 and when you ready to pay this kind of money for this setup, i say, all the way !

i like. what kind of desk is that?

novus82x · Feb 7, 2005, 02:43 PM

lol your gonna laugh when i tell you...

i actually got that desk for 65$ at office depot or staples (one of those office stores) because one of the manageers was marking stuff down for clearance. She just randomly was like hey ill give you this for 65 bucks and throw in this nice desk lamp for 10 more...

I am not sure exactly what the brand name is if that is what you were looking for.

the desk is actaully a very cheap one (particle board with fake wood covering), but it looks really nice for how cheap it was.

edit: oh yeah and it came with a keyboard tray which i never use, and a really cool thing on the side that raises the G5 off the groud and hangs it from the right side of the desk... too bad the screws stripped because the G5 was too heavy!

I think its because I have had it for like 2 years (the desk). The G5 used to be neatly lifted off the ground, and it looked so cool. Now it just sits on the ground, but oh well i still love my setup and when my powerbook comes in the next couple days, my Apple whoring will be complete for some time.

ya i want one that lifts my g5 off the ground. but meh i was just curious.

trevorM · Feb 7, 2005, 05:59 PM

Here is an updated shot of my setup.

I am totally loving this computer a lot. As I said before I don't bother removing the side panel of my G5 to gaze in (Its too distracting when I need to work) so I have moved my tower to the other side of my desk, and I have also added a nice big return.

All that needs to be added is an iPod Shuffle and I'll be one happy guy.

Link · Feb 7, 2005, 07:41 PM

Damn those 30"ers are nice! At this rate, I'm going to get so fed up waiting for the powerbook of my dreams I might just have to get another powermac of my dreams!

Then again, I haven't had a laptop since the 486 days!

When I firstly saw the 30" displays I said to myself "I just gotta get my hands on one!" Of course I never thought I'd actually get one but with an Edu discount and the new prices it made it possible.

I've been using a G4 powerbook for several years now. Mine is the 800Mhz model and I am still very satisfied to this very day with its performance. I happen to think that the current powerbooks should be good enough for most. Nunmbers aside I think that the Apples are still ahead of the PC laptops which are on the market.

I don't think you can go past the 15" Powerbooks - They rock.

For me it's nice to have a powermac again.

redoid · Feb 7, 2005, 09:04 PM

Hey Trevor,

Did you fix the issues you had with your G5?

When i received my system, i did the transfer data thing from my PB to the powermac and it was a little bit buggy, i dont know why though.

So i proceeded to do a clean install, and transfered the data via Target Mode and it did the job. I would not recommend that Transfer data Wizard to be honest your system you are transfering from is a little bit full of datas,

Regards,
