This is disgusting zedsdead - look what you did... now I have to change my pants, and I'm slip sliding all over the floor. Damn! This is better than the best pr0n.
Where did you get that snow leopard mousepad?![]()
Hehe, I hope you ordered a new HDD for your Drobo as well, he's about to explode![]()
Man, I'm dumb. I gotta stop showing pics like these to my wife. She can't imagine why anyone would need a 24" iMac and a 27"!
It's not about need; it's about *want*!

Hehe, I hope you ordered a new HDD for your Drobo as well, he's about to explodeStill trying to decide between a SSD in my 2006 iMac + 2nd gen i7 iMac or an i7 now + trade in the 2006 iMac for a ton of free babysitting.
Edit: Anyone on the fence about a Drobo (like I was for about a year) - it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I wish I had gotten it sooner.
Looking to upgrade my first gen white 24". I was hoping for a 30",but this is close enough given the RAM allotments. The 16gb is tempting, but the pricepoint is still a bit steep (never thought I would say $1200 is too high for 16gb). Probably going to go with 8gb, the cheapest way possible, and just toss the chips when the 4gb chips come down.
Anyhow, have been looking at the Drobos. I have a pretty large (75k) image library total, plus archived publications that eat up a lot of room. I hear complaints of slowness. Is that just using the network accessible attachment? I don't work in video, but I do a lot in Aperture, which is starting to creak a bit. Any advice you can offer on the Drobos is appreciated. It seems the 1.5tb drives are the bargain now, at a little over $109 each.
Also, there is only one Firewire port on the 27". Are you running your Drobo through that, or on one of USB 2's?
Are there any external ports on the back of the Drobo for daisy chaining add'l external drives? Or can you put the Drobo at the end of a chain? I have a bunch of firewire drives now, even with the Drobo I will probably keep them for add'l backup and storage of less accessed data.

Nice set up but hide those damn wires.![]()

I run the Drobo into the Firewire 800 port on the iMac, and the OWC-Raid into the Drobo. Basically the Drobo is always connected as it is my itunes library...The Drobo is too slow for video editing which is a real shame. I would be careful and research it first before you buy it for Aperture.
