Heres what I have sitting in my room.

http://www.joshuazimmerman.com/media/b&wpowermac.jpg

I'm using a 12in Powerbook now, but I still find use for old Macs. Notice the two B&Ws. The left one is a B&W 300 mhz G3, running my webpage. The one on the right is a file server I'm setting up running off a B&W 350 mhz G3. Its got over 800 GIGs on it, and serves many needs for my buddies and I. Notice how there are two Hard Drives sitting in an old 6100 case to the right, and an IDE cable going into the B&W.

Left to right: Rev A iMac, 800Mhz B&W, new (2 me) Quicksilver2002 933Mhz and 17" LCD.

[MilkmanDan]

What kind of upgrades have you done to your B&W?

[Chinasaur]

Just a gig of RAM, Radeon 7K and a PowerLogix 800Mhz. It's my GF's now. Shes just started on her Journey to the Mac side

[as2]

Ok, I know it's not a PowerMac, but i feel left out so am going to post this anyway!

L to R

iMac DV, Soundsticks, 10gb Rev 2 iPod, Toshiba Satellite Pro (work laptop), HP Jornada 710 (again work), Denon U DM31 (kicks ass for a sub �250 stereo), hp deskjet 5150, and Fuji Finepix 6800z used to take this photo.

I'm happy now.

We're two weeks further in the moving process and my setup is taking shape in our new house, so I thought I'd post an update pic :



* as2 : seems like we have the same taste in amplifiers
I exchanged the black LM1's for Silver ones, go nicely with the color of the G5 and screen ... plus I decided to make some use of the G5 sidepanel, so I hung it up, looks nice I think ... and it made a good spot for the iSight

Nice... like the touch with the G5 side!

I keep getting in the dilemma of wether or not to use my denon to listen to my imac sound on, or my soundsticks!

I know the Denon sounds better, but I DVDs etc sound strange not coming from the screen.

I like the LM1's I have a set of the black ones connected to my G5

Nice !! Congrats

Hey pixelhead11, did you stain your desk, because it looks like the desk I got (Jerker from Ikea), and I've been wondering if staining it would work well. Nice setup too.

[pixelhead11]

No. thats the way it came from Ikea I think this is Teak Color.

What exactly or how exactly are sending a feed to those LCDs that are along the top? I understand that they can take any type of signal (VHS/DVD etc...) but I was just curious as to what AV feed you are sending to those screens.

I have a couple TV Tuners hooked up to those:

There are several brands available.

The Jerker comes in either beech or birch melamine. I think a photo of my beech model is somewhere in this thread.

[bighead]

Not the cleanest setup, but it's what I've got to work with.

[trancepriest]

New video editing workstation setup with 15 inch powerbook.

[Kiddo311]

albeit only temporary as i'll sell the old 22 inch display.

this new hd baby is a real treat, not one dead pixel, overall smaller, but still way more screen real estate.

i have dreamt of 2 cinema displays, but it really is to much to be totally useful, at least for me =).



sorry, but it seems i can't post direct images ( not enough posts? image to big? )

[tramahound]

Oh, you MUST sell that tired old cinema display and get another aluminum one. acrylic is so last year

Ok, here is both the setup and the desktop. I'll include updates as I make changes. I welcome any advise on trim. I was thinking of some plexiglass and some black panels with brushed aluminum panels. I'd like to make it sort of sci-fi like.

Neo: Woah...

[davidflas]

My setup has changed enough to warrant new photos:

Alright I know I don't have a powermac in these pictures, but a G5 1.8DP is headed my way in two weeks, which will replace my trusty PowerBook G4 667MHz. I'm really excited about the upgrade as this will be my second powermac since PowerMac 6100/60!!!

Anyway, enjoy the pictures

My theater

I will update them as soon as the powermac arrives.

Looks like kitty is gettin a little tubby.

Alas, it is just iTunes visualizer... it does come up with some cool patterns every now and then..

Aww, nuts. An Aurora Borealis screensaver would be pretty cool, though (*hint hint* to any OpenGL developers out there).

That is some strange **** man. Using your side panel as a magnet board is funny and the position of your iSight makes conferencing awkward.

You also gots to do something about all those wires!

so that explains why all the magnets flew from all over the world to my powerbook??

It's irrefutable. Aluminum is NOT magnetic.

[Disgruntled Head of C-3PO]

That makes it even more pointless.

Agreed!

Which begs the question, why is it there? The kitchen roll holder I use to mount my web cam is not only several thousand pounds cheaper than using the side panel of a G5, but far more practical too!

[icruise]

Come on guys. I can't speak for the original poster, but I think he wanted to have his door off to show off the insides of the G5. But the door is pretty enough that it's a shame to just put it in a closet, so he's using it as a kind of objet d'art. I like it.

Thank you !! My point exactly !

And why use a kitchen roll holder for my iSight when I can use a kick ass G5 side panel !? As mentioned before, it would be a shame to just stock that panel somewhere, might as well use it and make some advertisement for Apple everytime someone comes in my study.

Plus I don't use it as a magnetic board, how could I ? It Alu. And there is nothing awkward about conferencing with the iSight placed as it is ...

Nice pictures ! Congrats

[Green Leaf]

i noticed that a lot of people have the cover off their G5 machine so that the inside guts are exposed. Is it safe to operate the machine like that? or did you purchase a special plastic cover to protect the computer?

All powermac G5s come with a special plastic window behind the normal case door.
