No, it truly was. There was like 1 bead sized piece of solder holding the chair to the beam.
I've never seen em do that

Okay I'm a little slow at getting my powermac setup posted - got the computer last Feb. and finally got around to taking some pictures.

Please excuse the quality of the images, taken off a Fuji 2700MX - ancient ancient digital camera.
set up:
PowerMac G4 867MHz w/L3 cache
-768 MB RAM
-160 GB Hard Drive space (60 GB stock ibm;
-100GB Western Digital)
-SuperDrive
-Monsoon Audio MM-702
-Keyspan DMR
-Palm m515
-HP Deskjet 970cse
-Epson Perfection 636U
-Mac OS 10.2.3
PowerBook G3(Firewire) 400MHz w/1MB L2 cache
-512 MB RAM
-6 GB Hard Drive (stock)
-Mac OS 10.2.3
Compaq Armada m700 700MHz p3
-192 MB RAM

What is that big metal hood around your monitor?
(Forgive me if I'm supposed to know this?)

A $399 refurb.
To answer driven: the hood is actually plastic. It just shields the screen from extraneous light. It works pretty well, although it does look odd from the side. You don't really see it when you are in front of the monitor.

That's kind of neat. I've never seen one before. (It would do wonders for privacy in a cube environment as well.)
Now: Do you notice an improvement in picture quality with such a device?
(Thanks for the response ... it's most appreciated.)

There is a window to the right of my desk so it can make a difference during the day. It's a good 9 or 10" deep so it does provide quite a bit of shading. I think it helps. On the other hand, my monitor is one of the older ones. The screen isn't perfectly flat. I would guess that the hood makes less of a difference with the newer flat-screen LaCies.
Anyway, it's detachable, so if it doesn't help you just take it off.

That's what I figured. It's the older trinitron version.
BUT IMHO, the trinitrons are better :eg:

My setup...
Pictured equipment:
-1GHz TiBook (1GB RAM), docked to 22" Cinema Display, SoundSticks, keyboard/mouse (my main work machine).
-17" Studio Display connected to a Quicksilver Dual 800 under the desk (MacOS X 10.2 Server, 2x60GB HD, 1GB RAM). Presently acts has the household print/file/backup server.
-on the left hand side is a FireWire 120GB HD, FireWire CD-ROM (for easy disk-to-disk copies), Clie cradle, VCR & Dazzle FireWire DV bridge.
Picture 1
Picture 2
Not shown is Wife's iBook, a 1GHz P-III Dell (kiddie games) and a homebrew Athlon 2000+ box. The Athlon is currently headless - I open a Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection to it from my PowerBook when I need to access software that is PC-only. It also spends much of its time powered off.

Ditto. My mom was like "what's so great about that garbage can?"
And I do have one.. I'm just holding off on actually posting a new setup pic until something big enough changes

I got that from the offical LOTR site.
But that one has the annoying logo and such on the pic.
I spent a few minutes doing the retouching. Took off the logo, cloned some orcs to make it fit to the wide screen

I don't get it. You have all these nice computers set up on folding tables!!
You should get a nice desk to compliment the set-ups.
