It's 2 years old this month and about the same speed as the old DP-1GHz PowerMac. But has a faster superdrive. Plus it much less imposing than the PowerMac and more portable.
I was going to upgrade the lappy before now. But I've decided I'll wait for round 2 of the Intel Laptops and Leopard to come along. 😉
- PS -
It makes sense for me to also hold off until Adobe CS3 comes out with Intel native support.

the effect of magnets on a computer (hard drives specifically) have been GREATLY overstated. he'll probably win the lottery while being simultaneously struck by lightning before the mini's hard drive will fail from a magnet in a nearby speaker.
crashlock - Love that old setup. Similar to my deskop setup now...though I'm trying to get rid of it as my MacBook has been smoking it.

Will be updating the setup soon with a 20" Apple display for my PB and wireless keyboard. I'll put the PB under the desktop on the keyboard pull out shelf.😉
There's something still sexy about PBs.....even sexier than MBPs IMHO, i love my PB and just cant sell it despite many offers. In fact i use it more than my MBP and its the first mac i'm considering getting AppleCare for just to prolong it as much as possible. Long live the G4's

SonyEricsson T68i,, the best phone ever made.
Those are the Sennheiser HD 212 pro, I have them. The Sound is pretty much alright, the bass is good, and you definitely feel a difference between AAC at let's say 256KBps and Lossless. It might be my ears, but I still think they bring out the difference. The left cable on mine broke, but If you get a good deal (under 40 bucks), and don't have too big ears, I can recommend them.zflauaus said:
EDIT:
radiantm3, I LOVE your setup. It pays great restecp to the G4's design. A little too much clutter, but it's not like wireless was a real option back then, so I still love it.
Thanks for the nice comments people.
I have just recently sold my old Apple Cinema Display and PowerMac G4. It will be paying for my new ACD and some bits. I'll post pics soon as I make my new setup. My camera is in need of updating too. As my pics are 4 mega-pixel rubbish quality i know. Thinking of getting a Casio Exilim 😛
One last fair-well pic of the old girl🙁

Creature IIs have the green LEDs, and I think the first set of Creatures had blue LEDs.Platform said:

If you think his setup was wicked, you should check out his site. radiantm3's site is incredible! I'm still on the fence about to cave for a 933Mhz/1Ghz G4 PowerMac but I know I should just wait to save enough for the Mac Pro.😉
@allexsimmons; The T68i (SonyEricsson)/m (Ericsson) was a farce. Sure many liked it but I couldnt stand it. It was the first ever colour screen phone. I prefered the T39m - STILL slimmer than RAZR's standards, better battery life (non colour screen though).

radiantm3's website is really well done. He does great work! I'm saving for a macpro as well. I'm gonna use my Core 2 Duo PC until after Leopard is released and then I may make the plunge. I will have all my credit cards well paid off by then too... which is always a good thing!
I was going to get a g4 or g3 because they just look so dam good. Great previous set up!🙂 🙂 Also cool new set up.crashlock said:Old setup:
