I got my old iBook back! (yay) I had to bust it apart and clean it up and bend some metal (it got stepped on by dan who i sold it to,) but its still alive - Amazingly! So here's a new pic.

Speaking of which - does anyone have an old clam-ibook they're parting out? I need a new (not bent) keyboard and some other stuff.

teknopimp · Feb 9, 2005, 04:39 PM

whoa... another clamshell in here, i've started a trend...

have u checked ebay for parts? there's always some misc bits on there and some parts only units. good luck in your search.

sine -''-..- · Feb 10, 2005, 12:49 AM

Thanks! =D ~ I've always wanted a Mac. I am glad that I finally got one!

Kyros · Mar 1, 2005, 12:39 AM

Dangit, I really need to get a clamshell. Why do they cost so much???? Heh, before I started looking for one, I was expecting to spend 200 dollars tops for the 466 model. Seems that I was a bit naive.

Gamoe · Mar 1, 2005, 01:56 AM

Darn, that PowerBook picture thread is long! 31 pages and counting.... and we've only got 4 so far! Oh well, keep the pictures coming... I will have a picture ready once I get my new iBook next month! :-)

iREZ · Mar 1, 2005, 06:36 PM

ahem...It's because iBook users are ashamed that they don't own Powerbooks.

hopefully that does the trick to get these people to post

Well... Here she is in all her glory.
Not seen is the Lexmark Z43 on the shelf to the right with mini stereo

nice layout ... (seriously)

one question: Is that a box or a block of styrophome that your iBook is sitting on?

joltguy · Mar 3, 2005, 03:35 AM

Thanks!

The iBook is sitting on an old Sun harddrive case which passed away a couple years ago.

Cheers,

Thanks! I took the top case off the LCD and stuck some carefully cut coloured translucent plastic over the glowing logo. The actual material I used was dividers of the three-ring binder variety.

My 1 week old 12" iBook G4 and 1GB iPod Shuffle

I will be getting rid of the 19inch monitor and my Dell PC (which will help clean up all those ugly wires/cables).

iREZ · Mar 3, 2005, 12:48 PM

These are some cool pics and that is on cool chair ImolaDetail, where'd you get it from?

Thanks. I bought the chair from Eurway. Here is a link: http://www.eurway.com/item_display.l...01&cat=90&s=17

The chair is very comfortable.

Game� · Mar 19, 2005, 05:38 PM

There's nothing like sittin on a PC waiting for the few months left until you get your very own iBook.

Until then, I get my joys looking off your pictures.

Thanks. I bought the desk, desk return, and printer stand at Storehouse furniture.

C.J. Moof · Mar 19, 2005, 09:51 PM

So... reading the page on that desk:
http://www.storehousefurniture.com/s...dno=26DMM800TC
The legs are real cherry, but the rest is veneer? Does it look like solid wood?

I ask because I'm in need of a new desk for the new office in my new house. That's a nice looking setup there.

The top and sides are veneer. The desk is of good quality nonetheless. The desk looks like solid wood. This desk is great because of the style, the extra large sliding keyboard drawer, and under desk leg room.

Cool, I'm flattered! I've gotten a lot of compliments on it, and I enjoy it's "one of a kind" quality.

here's my setup. damn cat.

Your cat looks upset that s/he was forced to share the photo with your iBook.

Clamshells are totally hawt. Hey guys, the rubber around the sides of my Graphite 466 is progressively coming off. Other than gluing, do you have any suggestions for me?

Looks like a Sun IPX to me, it's a Unix machine. So refreshing to see a fellow Mac user who also has some Sun gear. I have a netra t1, ultra 1, and some javastations....

Mr Kino · Mar 25, 2005, 06:23 PM

you guys have such clean set ups, here is my set up. Its a mess though.

lilcandygirl · 09:52 PM

damn looking at this thread makes me very excited. i ordered my ibook last week. my first apple equipment and quite scared how i'll be able to get used to a new OS but to compensate the fear, bought a dell desktop, and to make my day even better a canon sd20 digital camera. sooo........i hope i won't get disappointed with the ibook, but as i can tell from y'all...it's all worth the money!

Here's mine...

IanChar · Apr 19, 2005, 05:16 PM

Looking at those Clamshells makes me want to get one

SkaGoat · Apr 19, 2005, 05:56 PM

Sorry for the bad quality, all I had was my cell phone camara

zacharydz · May 22, 2005, 08:53 PM

I made this iBook stand for about $6 out of 1/2 inch PVC pipes. I have a 15 inch Samsung SyncMaster 151s monitor in spanning mode. Under the PVC stand, I have a 160 GB Firewire Drive and a DVD burner. You can only see the rim of color around the frame, but I got an old iBook G3 cover and painted it royal blue and then put it on my iBook G4. I copied the idea of having a red and green apple logo on the top cover.

Gamoe · May 22, 2005, 10:42 PM

Nice, straightforward and effective setup there, zacharydz. And really nice work with the cover/painted Apple too. We have very nice setups in this thread! Hopefully, one of the next will be my own.

Jasoco · May 23, 2005, 01:50 AM

That's a nice setup, Zach! I gotta get me one of those keyboard covers. Don't they cost like $30? Doesn't matter the cost, I've killed my keyboard with soda for the last time.

I really like the paint job.

Yeah, they cost about $30, but I've had too many close calls with drinks that I figured it would be better to play it safe. They take a bit to get used to, but after that are ok.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, if you spilled pop or somethign on your keyboard, (turn it off if BT) and soak it in distilled water for a day or so and let it completely dry. That will probably make it work again. That has saved a number of my keyboards.
