Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 13)

[Archon Gold]

impressive! specs on machines please?

Which machines?

My 27" iMac is a 3.06 Ghz Quad Core Intel i3, 1Tb of HDD Space, 4Gbs of RAM blahblahblah

If you mean my servers then I have a DP (2.0Ghz Each) AMD rackmount server that servers as my processor heavy server, mainly I run game server software on it to connect with my friends.

The White tower on the side is a custom built PC that used to be my main Windows Machine but since I got my new iMac it has been retired to being a fileserver with dual 500Gb Drives in removable drive bays on the front (one is empty)

There is a black Gateway machine running Windows Home Server Vail that serves media to the house, that includes streaming our TV shows to our Apple TV and all of our computers.

I also have a rack mount Dual Pentium machine that has 2Tbs of storage but I keep that near my 27" iMac as it backs up my data from that machine as I have had many logical failures due to Windows 7 on Bootcamp >=[.

What's your server setup (re: functionality)? You should rack mount some of those

I'm working on that, two of the servers are already rack mountable but it's hard to come across a server cabinet, I may be able to get a spare one where I work but for the time being I am going to pick up an IKEA Lack endtable (perfect size for rack mount servers) to just organize them.

So does Amazon. I just noticed they have it for $67.99.

I bought mine for I think $39 or $49 on Amazon because it was on sale. It was a steal!

Apparently some Best Buys have the Performance MX on clearance for 39.99.

You sir are a criminal.

I didn't care about any sort of mouse until this thread. I'm gonna give one of these a shot.

Lack tables are by far the cheapest rack mount solution out there. They're great!

If its core i3 then its only dual core. You still have one very impressive setup there though!

It was the partner price on the Performance I was referring too.

Oh, $69.99. Your other post said $67.99, which threw me. But eh, it's a small difference anyways, I need to stop being so anal

Exactly...but if you order another time of the day it takes longer, Plus i offer PAYPAL for payments...nice try thou but no cigar

Look, I'm sorry to say this, but no matter how you slice it, you aren't offering as good a deal as purchasing retail. Plus, by purchasing retail, a buyer has the assurance that they won't get scammed-- not saying you would do that, but it's a real possibility that most online buyers are aware of.

Good luck selling your mouse though.

yea.. seriously. I would rather pay a few bucks extra and buy a product from a reputable source. I personally don't even bother ordering from web sites I'm not familiar with even if they are somewhat cheaper than everywhere else. Too many individual ebay/craigslist scammers and scamming websites out there to bother trying to save a few dollars.

Also by looking at your ebay store, you seem to have everything a bit overpriced.. $11 for a preowned shaver handle? lol..

This is a really handsome set up! Really makes me wish my AG had a black bezel lol.

It read $67.99 only an hour earlier. I noticed it went up $2 when I took the screen shot.

ANYHOW!!!!

More pictures please!

Thanks man, and yeah I'm going to miss it when I get a 15" AG this summer. :/

Crucial just dropped their price of 8GB RAM $97.99. I would recommend that. I am going to get it for my birthday in exactly one month (Feb 9).

Indeed. Its basically the new version of the G15 gen2, which my roommate has. So we kinda match. How cute. Lol.

 

[pagansoul]

Don't have any past photos handy but this is what I have now. The Macbook Pro is in my bedroom and the MacPro and iPad is in one of my small bedrooms that I use as an office.

 

[wywern209]

my mouse came in like a day early. Looks nice and feels hefty. Definitely a little heavier than i expected but i'm usre i'll get used to that aspect in a day.

Thanks. The mouse was definitely worth it. the hyperscroll is slowly growing on me. the heft, i am still getting used it. never used such a big mouse. i thought my mx518 was big...

 

[Uofmtiger]

I got the monitor I mentioned in a prior post and I also bought an Ergotron MX desk mount so I could move it around. The mac mini is now feeding three monitors...for some reason, it was harder to do than I expected. I have the mini feeding a Denon amp in a separate room then I have it run through a splitter and back to the 42 inch monitor in the shot. The 25.5 inch is hooked directly to the mini.
