May I ask how did you rework your ACD 30" with LEDs? That would be much appreciated! Thanks.
I should have recognized it - since I have one. I thought it was a knock-off Aeron from another company because it has no lumbar pad or support mechanism.
Table/desk? Where did you get it from!?!?!

New to me MB that I picked up for home and mainly work for rescuing and supporting our 07/08 MB and MBP fleet. My work needs some new Mac's.

Is that Snow Leopard? Looks great.
I like the look of the white MacBooks. Considering getting an inexpensive 2010. The keyboards are also quite nice (if in good shape).
It's Lion. This MB is in really good condition. Barely any scratches and no chips. Plan to keep it that way. I have five generations of Mac OS X at my desk now. 10.4 (PM G4), 10.5(iMac G4), 10.6 (iMac CD,) 10.7 (MB) and 10.12(Mini)
Almost everyday. It's a faithful old girl. Plays Age Of Empires well too. Its probably going to be thrown off it's throne when my 2005 PowerBook 12" comes in next week. But I just maxed out the iMac G4 to 2GB RAM and finished configuring TenFourFox so it's really snappy on the web now. It's my favorite Mac design ever. Just ask my wife. I got into a rant over it the other night over dinner. The poor wife.
Ages of Empires, iMac G4, 12" G4 PowerBook... your taste is exquisite. Ever play AoE 2, by chance? It's growing again after all these years with new expansions and tournaments.
Be sure to post photos of the PowerBook when you get it. I think that generation is so well designed... 4:3 aspect ratio, very thin screen bezels, fantastic keyboard. I've always wanted one of the G4 12" PB with the 1.5 GHz... it's a shame that software support is limiting.
Might have to pick up a copy then. Didn't know it was making a comeback.
That's the 12" I got. I have a messed up 867 12" and am happy to have found a clean and well taken care of 1.5 already maxed out with an SSD.

Awesome classic Macs. I really miss the old Mac OSX UI. I still can't get used to the new one. It's too cartoonish and doesn't have the same class and elegance as the old UI.
I think SL and Lion still look better than Windows 10.

My very first Mac was a PowerMac G4 Quciksilver. I still have it and it's not going anywhere ever. Here's an under the desk shot. I have a eMac 1.42 and a Rev. A iMac 233 under there plus the QS and the PowerMac G3 400. I love my PPC Macs.

It is a self build you can't buy it
Well... I'll to build it then! Nice work!
Me too... that's why I'm still on Yosemite so I can invoke Flavours.
The new so called UI kills me!
I got my copy on Steam (with expansions), but there's a growing player-base over on Voobly. Even a decent amount of streamers on Twitch, which is where I usually find people to play with and view games.
Looking forward to the photos of the '05 12" G4 PB.
Decided to decorate my setup with some posters and other Apple memorabilia.
You can run Flavours on El Crap with a terminal hack. There's some you tube vids.
lol I could probably revert back in theory but it would be a pain in the ass. It's not just the OS I'd need to revert.
X Revert may be an option...
Have a lookie...
