I've been checking all these sweet desktops out and wanted to include mine:

EDIT Even though I accidentally posted this, I fixed the link in case anybody was wondering what was being referenced to below...

Actually I think Desktop pics go in a different thread, but nevermind ... where did you get that calendar pgm ?

Phil Quinney · Apr 17, 2003, 09:41 AM

Azzgunther,

Whats the lock symbol for on your menubar?

Phil.

It toggles between password necessary to stop the screensaver and no password necessary. I think you can get it from the keychain app.

Absolutely.

That's a Konfabulator Widget. Go to Konfabulator's website to check it out. Pretty sweet stuff.

Sorry about posting the wrong pic in the wrong forum, I was a bit groggy this morning. It might be a long day....

Anyway, here's a low-quality pic of my settup:

Phil Quinney · Apr 17, 2003, 07:06 PM

Azzgunther,

Nice setup, a real mix of old and new: from the IIe box to the 21" Display to the MDD.

Thanks for the advice on the keychain app, I've been looking for something like that for ages!

Phil.

Azzgunther · Apr 17, 2003, 10:25 PM

Thanks, Phil.

I'm basically getting the best features for the least amount of money...even though the hardware doesn't really look so great side-by-side. Glad you found out how to lock the screen after all this time!

Mac Zealot · Apr 22, 2003, 07:39 AM

Azz, this might sound strange, but I really like that table lol.

Sad too because it's what I'd usually consider ugly. Is it really wood? looks like something from ages back

Azzgunther · Apr 22, 2003, 04:35 PM

Yeah, it's real wood.

I have a very woodsie room so maybe you like it because it fits the theme of the room?

Now if only Apple made monitors with Oak cases....

Mac Zealot · Apr 23, 2003, 10:41 PM

lol that wouldn't look right.

I like it, but sadly I'm kinda against using wood like that...

Then again.. darnit.. I can't help but say I like it *smacks head into wall*

firefly · 09:28 PM

I finally got a digital camera so I thought I might post my setup here...

533Mhz G4 7410
384MB RAM
40GB Barracuda ATA IV
Radeon 7000
17" Mitsubishi 740SB

MindFad · Apr 27, 2003, 01:42 PM

Well, I had a digital camera for the night, so why not?

MilkmanDan · Apr 30, 2003, 12:04 AM

Thanks to everyone for their info on Konfabulator. It makes life so much better for myself and my roomies. All three of us are using it right now. It stole an entire weekend from my girlfriend..... shes easily entertained.

chu-ka-pi · May 2, 2003, 08:41 AM

I've just been quickly browsing through
this thread and saw that some folks
are still using Next Stations. Do you
guys know where I could find a cheap one
and how much I should except to pay for
one of these "old-timers" ?

Thanks in advance,

CKP

Azzgunther · May 18, 2003, 02:30 AM

*BUMP*

I won't let a good thread die.

schalliol · May 18, 2003, 12:55 PM

It is already 14 pages, maybe a new thread would be better, it got off topic of late.

RevEvs · May 18, 2003, 02:30 PM

these threads always get a little slow when no new towers are out... wait till the next ones are out and then we can see all the lucky people who've just bought them showing them off... (hopefully me included... if we see the 970 that is..)

revs

kiskynet · May 18, 2003, 03:17 PM

our new cube joins the family and were now in the club & brand new proud parents to a bouncing baby powermac cube... thanks g/f's Dad!!

Commodus · May 18, 2003, 04:15 PM

Man, if the Cube returned in earnest (preferably with a PPC 970 chip) I would be incredibly tempted to get one. As it stands, I'm not too eager to get one and promptly have to replace half the components (new video card, CPU, hard disk, and so on) just to get a modern machine. If I got the Cube or the replacement components for free, however...

Azzgunther · May 19, 2003, 02:54 PM

Oh that would be incredible. Does the 970 run hotter/cooler than the g4 does?

I wonder if it's even possible. Seems that the market would be more ready to accept a Cube system today than it was then. It was ahead of its time no doubt.

D'Espice · May 20, 2003, 09:11 AM

A new cube would just be.... awesome. I think Mac users are ready for an inaudible PowerMac computer now that we've heard the MDDs

Why is the G4 hidden behind a Celeron PC...?

Biggysteve · May 27, 2003, 12:57 AM

My comfortable set-up. The Cube and display are being offered up for trade in the MacNN Marketplace, but I'm not sure if I really want to part with it.

The Core:
Cube 450 Mhz
DVD-ROM
80 GB Seagate Barracuda IV
896 MB RAM
Rage 128 PRO

The Goods:
15" ADC
EyeTV
SoundSticks
Kensington Wireless Studio Pro Mouse
Epson Stylus C82
LaCie d2 52x CD-RW

The Tacky Furniture:
Flourescent Music Note Lamp

MindFad · May 27, 2003, 12:59 AM

Love the flourescent music not lamp, despite its level of tackiness!

Edit: Hmm, maybe starting a fresh pic thread would be a good idea, instead of having to wade through 15 pages for anyone who hasn't visited this thread yet? Just an idea. The thing is almost two years old.

You should see this baby lit up at night. It's like Vegas in my dining room.

You have your Mac in the dining room?

No way dude.

When I first got here I loved spending a half hour at a time checking out settups from the past and present.

If a new thread were started, all those old settups would be lost. I'm sure there are a few people like me that'd hate to see them disappear.

I agree 100%.

This is a historical document man.

If somebody wants to see only new setups he can just flip to the last page.

Well, I'm in college, living at home in a relatively small 2 bedroom condo with my father and older brother, here in the boonies of San Diego. My choices are to either work while people are loudly chewing their cereal, or work while blaring hip hop and a 25 year old man with a bong are ruining my concentration on the sweet, sweet educational prOn in my bed room. Since my dad isn't around too often, I get more privacy here, but much as I like a thrill, I still wish I could masturbate in a room with a door.

Well, a large majority of the setup pics are gone from the early pages anyway. It was just an idea. Make of a PDF of it if it's so historical.

Too much work. Easier just to keep the old threads where they are in case we wanna read about what life was like in the primitive 01's.

I finally finished my set-up. Here is a pic of my New powermac with 20" cinema display accompanied by the 17" PB. The desk from hold everything fits perfect. JBL creatures make the room full of great sound. Im very psyched and lucky!

Awimoway · May 29, 2003, 09:01 PM

The martini is a nice touch.

P.S. Where'd you get the gawjus desktop pic? finding nice pictures for my 20" display has not been easy.
