How do you post an image on this thread of the powerbook setup... and since I'm a newbie on Mac's and we're on the subject of posting images... how do I cut and paste and resize and image so it isn't so big but at a more managble rate when I email someone. That attachment thing, blows it up to 7.2 mp. Help!!!

iREZ · May 18, 2005, 01:28 PM

looks like my desk and i got mine at ikea, it's called the jerker and has lots of expandability options.

Fusion · May 18, 2005, 01:44 PM

Yeah, it is the jerker from Ikea. I just gave that one away too, and got a different desk. It served me good though.

I have too much fun with the giant pictures... Any way to use the HTML tags to resize the IMG such as <img src="blah blah blah" width=x height=y></img>

Dont you have a tool to resize those images before you upload them?

Looks fine on Safari. Different HTML Rendering Engine?

junebug630 · May 20, 2005, 06:52 PM

I really like the Dell 2005, but alas mine came with backlighting problems and it was so hard to get Dell on the phone to pick it up for a return, I opted for a refund instead. The entire lower left side and the top two corners all had a milky white glow to them. It's a shame really, besides that , a wonderfull monitor.

So order another?

Also, it's pretty easy to get a exchange through dell's online chat.

belldandy · May 20, 2005, 10:04 PM

Yea, I agree with Ciber. The 2005FPW has 3 year warranty, just make Dell get you the right one that you are satisfied with =D

Randman · May 21, 2005, 04:56 AM

Thanks for resizing the photos. They really were overdone, even on a photo thread.

I am absolutely 100% in love with that setup. How'd you secure the router and such to the bottom of the desk?

EDIT: Nevermind, I looked a little closer and think I figured it out, now I'm curious as to where you got the desk

irus · May 23, 2005, 07:23 PM

This looks like one of the IKEA tables: Top and legs.

Dave Hagan · May 23, 2005, 07:57 PM

The only one concern I'd have with that setup (and it is sweet) is that placing your PowerBook on top of a subwoofer might not be a great thing to do. It might vibrate your hard disk to death.

Link · May 23, 2005, 08:08 PM

And depending on the subwoofer's design, magnetic interference might be an issue for the HDD too.

Here's a "whole room" pict

Ciber! your tazmanian devil mousepad must be SO OLD!!! I HAD THE EXACT SAME MOUSE PAD 12 YEARS AGO!!! how weird!

ZXspectrum · May 28, 2005, 08:11 PM

what a sweet dog

kertong · May 28, 2005, 10:01 PM

Fusion:

That is an adorable dog.

One concern of mine is that your powerbook is on top of the subwoofer. I didn't even think about it being vibrated to death (like another user mentioned earlier), but was thinking that the subwoofer is basically a giant magnet (unless that sub I see is a neato velodyne servo-controlled sub). I don't know how well they're 'shielded'.. if anyone knows for sure, I'd love to know. Otherwise, you have a badass setup!

spiff72 · May 28, 2005, 11:16 PM

Fusion...

I just saw that Calvin and Hobbes book on your bookshelf! Nice. It is my inspiration for my nickname here (and on just about every other board I am a member of).

It was either spiff or Tracer Bullet.

newsushi · May 29, 2005, 12:13 AM

Fusion,

My god...please tell me your Mac Mini does more than act as a book end. If it needs a good home, I know someone who'd treat it well

I must say, both of your setups are very clean and too my liking, though I prefer the Jerker to the new desk. Think I'll get one.

looks like a yorkshire terrier.

I didn't even notice the mac mini bookend until now. Argh! It needs a better home!(read: mine).

You can fed ex it to me, I'll even cover shipping. I've got a great bookend I could trade ya

kertong · 03:47 PM

My Setup. It's a bit old : The Tibook has been replaced by my company 15" Albook, I've gotten a spare sun sparcstation 5 (headless X terminal), and the tmobile has been upgraded to a tmobile sidekick 2. Oh, and the Linux server is now a 580GB mythtv server

Here's a pic anyway.

click for a good time

I have found the perfect desk, it will match any PowerMac or PowerBook perfectly. It is made of solid aluminum. Problem is it costs $2895

http://www.lian-li.com/Product/OA/OA_F1.htm

A site that has it for sale

crazeazn · Jun 1, 2005, 12:59 PM

^ the desk has a built in card reader!!! ownich!!!

fisherKing · Jun 1, 2005, 01:08 PM

that's a great desk, but for the money...
i'd rather have a second powerbook and a cheap desk...
or 2 weeks in mexico and a new ipod

(etc etc)

Randman · Jun 1, 2005, 01:17 PM

Am I the only one who thinks its ugly? And I'd be afraid of scratching the surface.

tcphoto · Jun 1, 2005, 01:20 PM

Yes, I also think the desk is quite ugly. But, to each his own.

FoRCE ANGEL · Jun 1, 2005, 03:02 PM

the desk is fugly

Link · Jun 1, 2005, 07:16 PM

I think the desk is kinda interesting, tons of unfinished metal just aint my thing though, even stainless steel appliances remind me too much of the stuff you see in a morgue o_O No thanks!

One of my favorites was Jack Campbell's version of the MacTable -- it was big, heavy, and made of glass.. but the smaller versions looked way too ... out of scale o_O

Either way, most desks are neat, though I prefer *tables* as in nothing above and preferably not below because those cubbie things are kinda limiting.
