Ah, it's good to see another CRT user! I thought I was the only one left.:rolleyes: :)
 

What do you need over a terabyte of space for?

Government secrets :p

The 500 gig has all my music on it, and all my documents, and porn.

One of the 300 gigs is empty - waiting for Leopard so that I can use it as a backup drive in Time Machine. And the other 300gig has lots of ISOs and application installers etc etc.

Oh you liar, you!

We all know that really they're full of naughty pictures!

:D
 
my fiance has over a terabyte of space in his computer - you'd be surprised how quickly those fill when you start ripping movies..!

Amen to that. My server has 1.6 TB, and most of it's video. Stuff takes up space. Add in my other computers and external drives, and my total storage space is well over 2 TB. You can never have too many hard drives :D

Oh, and one last time: please, I beg you people, stop quoting images to make little one-line replies unless you're referencing something specific in the images (and even then only include the one image you're talking about)!!! It's so damn annoying to see the same pictures 4 times on one page! /rant off
 
^^ That is one nice setup. One question. Why do you need 2 computers next to each other with an external display connected to the macbook?? Surely if you have the imac, you don't need an external moniter for the macbook.

More money than sense, maybe?
 
The iMac has no video input so you can't connect another machine to use the display.

That wasn't his point, I don't think. The point is that most people pay for external monitors when they want to be able to use their laptops as desktop replacements while they're at home. If he already HAS a desktop, why pay $1k for a second screen?

The macbook is used a lot "on the go" out and about and it's nice to come back and hook it up to big screen, my partner tends to use the iMac a lot too - its a kind of "his and hers" setup

Exactly what i meant. As described elow, it is used by 2 people
 
Dang.I havent seen a CRT monitor in a mac setup in a while! You should swap that CRT with that nice flatscreen tv you have there.

The only reason I'm keeping my CRT (Viewsonic Professional Series P810-3) till it dies is it can do an ungodly resolution of 2048x1536... My Viewsonic N2060W LCD TV can only do 1366x768 (720p). That res is just shy of the 30" ACD at 2560x1600!

Also the reason I have to sit so close is because of running at that resolution the text is uber tiny but its so nice for photo editing to have that massive resolution.
