Thanks.Mike Teezie said:
I bought it from empiredirect.co.uk, although I've not had great service from them, so I wouldn't recommend buying a set from them.It's a TX28DT40 which has now been replaced with a newer model from Panasonic. Not only is this model uglier, it has less features / inputs, and costs more as it's new, lol.

Argh, I'm an idiot - didn't see you were in the UK. I am getting the Panasonic 30" Widescreen, and thought maybe I could save a few $$$ by going with a 28 incher.
Oh well, your setup rocks!

I'm really diggin that setup man... i think that when income taxes come back and next semester's refund are totaled, i may have close to a powermac... but the display is a horse of a different color... maybe i'll have a clean Powermac and Display set up someday... and get rid of this PC and this 17" LCD, but i'm keepin the powerbook and iCurve...
Hi
Can someone tell me how big (width/height) the screen is for 20 inch and/or 23 inch.
The 20 inch doesn't seem to be much bigger than my 15 inch imac screen - just wider. :/
Thanks
David

What kinda keyboard is there is no arrow keys
It's a Macally RFKey wireless keyboard. It has arrow keys, they're just located below the number keypad. It's a really great keyboard.puckhead193 said:What kinda keyboard is there is no arrow keys

I finally got around to taking a picture of my setup.
On the left are my Siemens phones and my Logitech MX 700. On the right my Shuffle, Airport Extreme and my LaCie HD hiding behind the other plant. The PB is connected to my Sony Amp, and there are two big speakers on the sides of the desk.
Now the only things missing are my iPod mini and my 23" Cinema Display...

That's a great setup, I love the plants. Full credit to you if you manage to keep it that clean/neat/tidy while you're actually working from it though!

Thanks, I usually keep it this way. Everything I work on is in the cupboard on the right hand side. After I am done with it it goes back there. I hate nothing more than an untidy desk.
And yes, I couldn't live without plants and these two I've had since they were reaaally small.
dsharits, you have the coolest G3 setup ever! I've always loved Apple's old LCD studio displays. That's so cool...
Wow, thanks so much. I love it too. The display, believe it or not, I bought on Ebay for less than $60, because it didn't have the power adapter with it. So, I modified an old clamshell iBook adapter to make it work with the display. I'm glad you like it. Thank you for the compliment.phreakout13 said:
I have a lot of stuff, some not even pictured here, below is a lot of text that describe the links to the images below, Enjoy!

Descriptions:
(From left to right, up to down...well sort of, it gets messy!!)
Setup_1.jpg
A)PowerBook setup which is usually on my bed, it sleeps on the desk and I make sure I keep it cool
B) 5 Macintosh LC series
C) Monitors, Printers, iMac Motherboard, TrackBall
D) 2 Old PowerBook 100s, 1 500 series
E) Mac 512k, Mac SE (Painted)
F) My PC (far left), 'Mystic' Color Classic running 'Doom', Apple keyboard and screen to the right*
G) My Nintendo DS, 12" PowerBook G4, and my Green-blade Lightsaber (And yes those are Star Wars sheets,)*
Setup_2.jpg
A) G3 MiniTower - was used as a jukebox for a while
B) Part of an Apple adjustable keyboard I found at a thrift store
D) A quick make-shift hub I needed to use with my old G3 Setup*
E) A Bunch of HDs and CD-ROMs, SCSI/IDE, and one Slide Scanner
F) Power Mac 7200 with CDs and Books
G) Power Mac 8500 tower using my 7500's Motherboad and RAM
H) Atari 2600 Jr and iBook bottom half for parts
I) Apple 1705 Monitor with G3 & 12inch PowerBook G4 Rev A - Brand New!
J) Performa 635CD with old low-res Apple 14-inch display
K) Macintosh 540 All-In-One series I think - can't remember exact model
L) Performa 6400(?) case, another Mac LC (1 of 5) + Apple 13' CRT Display
M) Macintosh 5200/75 LC (All-In-One)
N) Quadrea 880AV & Sharp 27" TV ...Why? Because it looks awesome!*
Setup_3.jpg
My setup in my room in my parent's house in PA - There is my old 19inch Mono TV, 15inch VGA Gateway Monitor from the local thrift store (they get a lot of business from me), Semi-working old RCA VCR, Hard Drives and such, Multimedia Speakers, Apple Extended Keyboard, and Apple Bus Mouse II (* Looks pretty much the same now, the PowerBook is always moving around)
Well that's it for now I think, I have tons of pictures but I don't feel like taking up all of my iDisk space. I need a desk in my room but, I have to clean my room badly first. And yes the PowerBook is usually on my bed but, it stays cool thanks to the fan next to me - and besides that I never let it get too hot. (unlike when my old clamshell iBook was overheating - I stupidly left it on a poofy chair and it kept making the alert sound ever 15 min, I ran upstairs and turned it off. I spent the rest of the day with it's keyboard open and a fan right on it.)
It's great seeing all these setups, mine is the messiest of them all I bet.
