Lovely, Arip. The new Dell displays sure look classy.
Whats the black matt thing, I assume its some sort of cloth, and where can one get one? I need something like that for my glass tables. Skin marks are starting to get really annoying.

Finally, at least someone agrees with me. Many Apple fanatics on this site really don't realize how far Dell has come with their aesthetics, especially on the displays. I think they are great displays, both in looks, performance, and function.
What difference does it make what he needs it for? It would be a fine question to ask, if you could do it without coming off as condescending.
...he's just got more processing power. Don't be jealous.
Calm down there, killer. I wasn't being condescending. I was genuinely curious as to what he does with them, and why he chose all laptops over desktops+laptops. As you pointed out with my own past setup, I'm all for lots of comps. Don't jump to conclusions.
haha.
@veritas - i think the dells monitors looks great they really do and have many more features than ACD but i suppose the ACD is the apple experience.

Almost double :S

Their widescreens are fine, but Dell's 4:3 LCDs use rather poor quality panels with very narrow viewing angles. (This is why I recently went w/ HP for a 4:3, their LP2065 model being a nice Philips S-IPS panel, nearly identical to ones used by Apple.)

I really need some decent wallpaper, like something subtle, solid white I dunno or something along those lines. But thats for another time as I can't stand decorating.
Ok... yes.. this was "years" ago, but I just noticed it. What cellphone is that white one?? It looks fun.
THAT, is a very nice setup!
Wish I had something like that.For nice wallpapers I recommend Interfacelift

Think he literally meant wallpaper, for the walls.
Rich.
Not a chance. Its a Samsung slider. Those Chocolates are like little bricks.
Finally got my Mac two days ago, loving it to bits, been waiting for this for months on end but finally got the cash together to buy it
Very chuffed, its a Mac Pro, 2.66 GHz, then I've thrown in an extra 3 GB of RAM and also 3 500GB drives. This is intended for recording use (audio, maybe video at some point too), hence the audio interface and Genelec speakers, but I'm using it for everything at the moment because it is just so good
Really strange, I get a beasty Mac like this, and all of a sudden my desk is clear (mainly because my PC from before is up in the loft now, and my laptop is in its bag). Can't say the same for behind/under the desk, but what I can't see doesn't exist
I've made the switch from PC's to Mac's (although its not going blind, used them all the time on my degree), and so far I can't imagine going back. I do have a Windows XP virtual machine on here.....but thats only until Myspace IM is released for Mac's or there is an Adium plugin for it. I only talk to one person on it anyway.
Enough rambling, here it is

I do audio recording work and you will take a lifetime to fill up that many hard drives! Never too much space is my motto as well!
Nice to look at awful to use. Better than a RAZR though.
this is a little off topic, but .......
I've got the exact same phone, and i bought it after using a RAZR before hand.
Mind you, the only thing i do with my phones is make phone calls and NOTHING else ... with all features aside, i find that the fact that my chocolate doesn't sync the address book with my mac was a big mistake
although i didn't like the razr much, it at least synced ..does anyone else here have an LG chocolate that has a solution with getting your phone numbers onto it? without doing it manually ....
.... please PM me
