Maybe I can use that argument to justify to my wife the 23" display.

So buying an Apple monitor was just too much money so I got the NEC 19" Accusync 95F. The keyboard and mouse are logitech and I just bought them for $30 and still have my apple stuff plugged in.

The Radeon 9800XT is fast! Not sure it is worth $500. Since I can't flash the Radeon 9700 Pro (I was going to use this in my mac), I'm going to sell it to a friend... so that makes the price of the 9800XT easier to justify.

... I cleaned my room.

Very nice. Is your dell the 600m or the D600? And I think you need the bigger Apple monitor.

Where did you buy the 9800XT?
Is it an ATI manufactured one or from a third party?

Yay, i finally got a new G4 tower to replace my Rev. C iMac so obviously i'm now in Mac heaven. Even if it is only a 1.25 single proc (all i could afford) this baby is plenty fast for me.

My New Setup

BTW the ViewSonic 19" monitor is pretty decent for only about $250. I was pleasently surprised.

If I got the Cube or the replacement components for free, however...
Cube would be awsome if it had:

AGP8x
1 open PCI-X

That's all it needs to be successful, an open PCI slot.

I could care less about a PCI slot, but I would like to fit a normal sized video card in it. :-)

Yeah, it's fine, although i don't do a heck of a lot of printing, just regular text and the occasional photo but it does a good job with no problems so far in the 4 months or so I've had it.

This is it



I bought the FW case for $70 CDN and the USB 2.0 case for $50 CDN. I actually want to get 2 fw cases but they only have one left so I have to go USB 2 for the hard drive (only use it for temporary file backup)

The CD burner and HD I put in these cases are very old but they still work well. It would be a huge waste if I throw them away (and no one will buy them)

Gotta love the $39 on ebay
