Yeah, I am 13 turning 14 this may, and for my birthday I hope to get my ram maxed out, [and] or a new cell phone. It took me 5 bloody grueling months to save up the $1400 for this.... Paid for it myself gladly.

Pray tell how you got 1400 in five months?

Yeah...you should be happy with that 1400 bucks in 5 months is not bad at all for someone 14 years old.
 
I found this thing on the net if you complete these stupid offers (that overcharge teh credit card :p) they send you a check, i got about $450 by scamming that site with multiple accounts and prepaid credit cards....


EDIT: I'm not really that evil i just wanted an imac.... :p



The rest i got from being nice to elderly people and fixxing thier computers, that werent really broken, they just had junk loaded on them. Fixing those almost every day inspired me to buy a mac, because the windows world is lonely. :D
 
A load of spare stuff in my dad's garage. I would have other pictures but i only have 100MB free space on hard drive so trying to save it.

How's that JVC Mini-DV/SVHS combo working for you (and what model is it?) I looked at picking one up, but I've heard that the Mini DV functionality in JVC's combo decks isn't much good... What's your experience?

It's actually been great, I purchased it refurbished from one of those shady Brooklyn Camera shops and after the first couple months the VCR just stopped working. But I only would use the VCR once in a blue moon anyways. It is great for color correcting, I can preview realtime on it and the Remote control has a nice jog wheel. Overall I would say look for that ultra rare single mini dv deck made by Panasonic (my school has them). Since you sound as though you are going HD though, it might not be worth it. I am still confused as to if it's possible to hook up a regular 480p dv camera (with a HD recorded 720p tape) to a HD TV and get the full resolution? I don't plan on going HD anytime soon, but it would be nice to keep my deck when I do. As far as the VHS to Computer goes, you have to first dub VHS to mini DV, then to computer.

Thanks for the review! :)

As to HD playback in an SD deck -- it's not possible. Even though the tapes are the same, the data is different -- you need an HDV deck to play back the HD tapes.

Unfortuantely for me, since HDV camcorders start at $1400 or so and a true HDV VCR costs about $2700! :eek:

Spare monitors? I'm so envious. IMO you can never have enough monitors. Unless they're broken. Nice iMacs too.

EDIT: Is that a cube too?!
 
Here is my set up at university.
I recently bought a Powerbook G4 15" 1.67ghz, 2GB from ebay for a bargain, but i don't really like having two different computers. I am thinking of selling both and getting a maxed out 17" Macbook Pro...hmmm...but i love my iMac

There should be 2 cubes. One works but i will try and fix the other one over the summer as a project. If i can get a cheap processor, it will become a 1.6GHz monster!!! I am also thinking about a better graphics card and more RAM.

Wow that's a lot brighter than your other pic. Did you change the desktop or up the brightness?
Click to expand...

I might have used the flash on the first one.

And It might have been a different brightness because I am messing with the differnt settings.

I still havent gotton the two monitors to look the same. But its close enough now.
