[toolbox]

sweet jesus, every time i see one of those 27" 's my heart bleeds for one!

Tell me about it! Everytime i think of getting one this little voice (mum) says that you have your backyard to finish before summer.And you have enough computer crap (dad). GRRRRRRR

You can never have enough mac stuff.

You can never have enough mac stuff.

I agree, its pretty much just an addiction. I bought my first mac (macbook alum) last christmas, then an iphone, imac, time capsule etc. and I'm already looking to get a bigger macbook soon. I think I'm pretty much all mac and no windows now

^^ I still run windows - I have a gaming rig but never gets used unless i want to game! I run windows emulated on my mac so i can take it to work with me. I pretty much have as mac stuff as i can get, magic mouse, keyboards airports timecapsule. But i am yet to purchase a iphone. Maybe next year!

Hate to break it to you, but your parents are right. You are wrong.

Just replaced my Hackintosh with a 2,53 GHz/4GB Mac mini. It is a really nice little computer, but i'm lusting for the 27" iMac

 

[nullx86]

Yes, it would appear you are approaching the "Stuff:Space" ratio limit hahaha

lol, yeah tell me about it... I'm gonna redo my room, and try to make it better suited for all the stuff I have... not sure how to do that though..

Of course my parents of right they have been on this earth longer then i have. They give me advice and i take it. That is why i still have no 27 inch imac.

My first mac since high school, about when 10.1 was released

When I first got it:


Set up:

yup me too, I was jealous because everyone seems to be getting the 27'' version. I knew when I originally bought it I was going to regret it. Thank god the people at the apple store waived the restocking fee. The screen on this is soo much better than the other one

i was in an apple store the other week and i swear the quality of the imac screen makes the real world look unclear hahaha

oh my, this seems to real... thats exactly what my mum says, and exactly what my dads says...

yeah but if you have loads of old apple gear that can no longer keep up with the modern world....

I learned yesterday that it's all relative. My 27" iMac is STUNNING next to the 20" iMac. However, upon giving the 20" iMac to my roommate, (which he sat next to his PC's LCD screen while transferring files) I realized that even the 20" iMac screen isn't so bad when compared to an aging LCD.

Sweet desk. Do you mind sharing where you bought it?

Yup it does, was using it as a file server, not sure what to do with it right now. Always loved the cube, a most amazing design for sure.

I think you can upgrade the cube to 1ghz

Damn all these 27 inch imacs. I just got a 22 inch monitor today and I am taken back by the screen real estate. My 13 inch MB looks so tiny. Will post pictures of my setup later today.

All of my mac setups ever

First mac ever: iBook G3, 500mhz, 384mb ram, self upgraded 40gb hdd

Then I got my Powerbook G4 for college: 1.67ghz, 2gb ram, 100gb hdd

Here's my dorm first day of college:

I decided to bring my pc to my dorm room:

Moved into a house with my friends after freshman year:

Here's my first apartment:

Moved into another house with other friends, finally got rid of my pc, bought a 2.4ghz Macbook and traded my Powerbook for a 1.66 CD Mini:

This is when I first moved into my current apartment, sold my 1.66 and got a 2.0 2009 when they first came out:

I decided to move my mini to the Tv as a dedicated media center:

And my current setup that I'm typing on now, MBP 13" 2.66, 4gb, 500gb, 17" Dell display:

New setup, Girlfriend got me the display for Christmas:

I think i've seen cubes upgraded to 1.6 or 1.8 ghz actually. I looked into getting a sonnet upgrade kit some time ago, expensive to say the least.

Here it is: Not shown Wacom Tablet, and old Dell windows machine
Dell 2209WA that arrived today.

 

[spencers]

Well, my 20" iMac is gone now. The 27" iMac is here to stay.

 

[cleanup]

Do the new iMacs have IPS panels?
