Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

Thats one heck of a monitor. Is it a TV or a monitor? Ive always wanted to hook my MBP to the TV if it was possible

Viccles that is possible! Did you MBP not come with one of those cords? I forget what they are called but my PB came with one. I don't own a DVD player so I use the PB and hook it up to the tv.

MBP only comes with a DVI>VGA converter, nothing to plug into a regular TV.

Unless you were only going to use it for Front Row, there's not much point in doing it because CRT TVs generally have very low resolution...

I notice a few of the posters have mouse pads? Why is that? I havent used a mousepad in years

Well, I have mine because of the wood table. It causes the mouse to jump with it hits the grain.

I just rearranged my iMac, and finally have something that can compete with the backwards man (iCloud )

The PowerBook G4 came with the things to hook it up(throught s-Video)..it looks good for video and moives but for web browsing its looks bad..however for 19bucks you can do it

(thats the DVI solutions, there is an S-Vidoe adapter also, both work in the same way) You'll also need another Composite Cable

Westinghouse calls it HD LCD Monitor...it doesn't have a Built-in Tuner, which is not an issue because I have my Bell ExpressVu HD 6100 STB and Rogers 8300HD-PVR...I'm currenty using all 5 HD connections...!!!

 

[Shotglass]

5 HD connections...!!!

WOOAAAH!!! Alright, I hate you now.

Sorry I don't have a picture of everything yet. I have to clear off the PowerMac, the Cube is at my place of employment, I sold a bunch of the laptops and the G4 is collecting dust. Eventually I'll get you guys a picture of the G5 though.

Isnt the screen way tooooooooooo far from where you will be sitting?

Nope, I like it farish, if it's too close it just hurts my eyes. Plus I usually lean on the table anyway

Cool, thanks! A little on the expensive side... but very cool! I might ask for one for Christmas or something...

 

[MacHarne]

phobus, two quick questions, please.

How is the monitor mounted or placed? It seems almost to float.

Where are those speakers from? I made a pair of speaker absolutely identical to those when I was in high school, used Eminence parts and a cabinet I worked from cherry.

Other than that, the setup is gorgeous. Congrats.

How do you like the Mirra chair, I opted not to get one because the back wasn't padded at the time so I wen Aeron. Great chairs but a touch pricey

I brought my ibook home from the office, had all three running and thought it was picture worthy..

And by the way, my desk isnt always as tidy as that, heres one i found taken months back

Looks damn slick when it's tidy. I see you have a 17" PB, but is that a G5 or Cure Duo?

FYI, it's got no iSight, so it's a G5... also known as a G4.

Maybe you meant the iMac and not the PB?

Trust me, I'm no n00b, I know Apple haven't released a G5 PowerBook (yet ), and yes, I meant the iMac.
