here's my setup, i'm using the imac with ubuntu, its VERY difficult to find support and software for ubuntu running on powerpc. if anyone knows where i can find software that would be great. still have the same imac core duo and macbook. the macbook is dead at the moment because theres no OS and my restore disk is scratched and fails to install os x. the cell phone is a loner from rogers becaseu my RAZR is getting fixed after i dropped it :eek:

well my biggest beef with it is that i had all of my movies and music on there and i couldn't play any of it, the media player that comes wiht it doens't work. and i couldn't find any others that worked in ubuntu on a powerpc mac. it doesn't matter now though becaue i took ubuntu off it and put tiger on and i now use the computer for all my music to stream to my other imac when i'm using windows, and for dvd's and movies and downloading. OS X is still so much easier
 
My setup

Hello, everyone. I'm 18, and a first time poster. Even though my setup may not be as impressive as the rest, mine does the job even though it's messy. All was bought with my own money. And sorry about the awful pictures... Enjoy.

Above you can see my MacBook Pro, and Xbox. The display can be used by either. Behind the MacBook Pro is a 160GB HD dedicated exclusively to videos. Also, I'm proud of the customized mousepad I had made. Nothing spectacular, though.

This is the other half of my desk where you'll see how my Xbox games are held together by some Goosebumps bookends I've had since I was a kid, and the rest of my stuff.

And that's it.

You do know that Ubuntu doesn't ship out of the box with alot of codecs. You
need to install them manually or via automatix.
 
my mac setup

despite a ruptured hand tendon and a sprained ankle, i finally managed to kick my office around and re-configured it this past weekend.

I attached a pic below, but i've never done that so hopefully it worked :)

My "nook"

First ever post....Too lazy to list all the tastiness.....maybe someone could attempt....It all resides in a tiny closet inside a crappy apartment.
I have the vesa adapter to mount the Apple Display but its currently on a cart with wheels.....I've never seen anyone on here with their ACD mounted, anyone got a link to one?
I'm also looking to add an external hard drive to the setup....anyone got any stellar systems to recommend? I've heard horror stories about the Porsche one on the Apple website
