I like your setup, Diatribe. The two pods look cool right next to eachother.

My pop wanted to see some pictures, so I took some more and figured I'd be an attention whore and post them:

<images>

Kind of fun to have my 73-year-old dad interested. My next switcher victim. :D

Better every time...........what are those two extra cards that you have in the PCI-X slots :confused: :confused:

And 30" dock on two 20" = possible ;)

Edit: how loud is it on top of the desk :confused:

OMG! iGary, you always amaze me with your systems. I don't know which is better, your current one or your G4 PowerMac setup. They're both gorgeous. Well, keep up the good work. I will post my setup when I get my first Mac, the iBook!

Nice setup there, iShater! Good luck with the master's thesis, as well. What is your field/subject? I just finished my master's work in electrical engineering about 2 months ago.

Computer Resources and Information Management. Fancy name for MIS. I actually finished all the required coursework back in 2001, then I got married, house, trips, etc. and just now got around to start my thesis. Luckly this is not the crazy type of thesis, more like a masters project with a paper and presentation.

My proposal is due this week (I think!) so I need to get moving. I will be examining my company's existing SCM and development environment and present recommendations for changes and enhancements to support our global development centers (read: India).

USB 2.0 and Firewire (Damn you Apple for ditching ADC)

It can get kind of loud when I'm running a boatload of actions in PS, but I like it on the desk, and I'm afraid it would be a dust vaccum on the floor. :eek:

I really love it, but I'm eyeing the 30" display. *dangerous*

You'll love the iBook - its a great machine - I really do love mine.

Well I do like the old clear plastic look of the G4, but the new displays just kick the old displays all over the floor, the feel like sex. Brushed aluminum. Yum.

jessica, you totally threw me off with your jark comment and I had to do some research to find out who the heck "Jark" was! (Not a big art website surfer I guess!).

After reading a bit about him, yeah, sounds like this guy got a raw deal :(

I will look up the website where I got this wall (and many others!) tonight and post it back here!

[edit] Here is the website Quality Wallpaper [/edit]

My (slightly) new setup! Sorry for the poor quality, I don't have a digital camera, so I used my camcorder.

setup.jpg


Display: Dell 1901FP, Mac: Mac mini (in sig).

What's different: PC: Yep that's my inherited old 450 MHz PIII PC (I posted about it in the community forum). Planning to put Linux on it, but haven't quite yet. Used to have a gigantic gaming PC that blows away everything else in 2003. I sold that one a couple months back.

Mouse: The Mighty Mouse! Used to be a MX1000, but I sold it (and am selling my second, unopened one, in the marketplace!).

Am I the first one to post a setup with the Mighty Mouse? YEA ME!

Blimy gee wilikers that is a nice setup. Howcome 2 keyboards though? :confused:

There's a beige PC (see sig) under the desk hooked into the VGA input on the Dell LCD. I use a wired Apple keyboard (the one in the back) and a USB mouse (it's stashed under the iCurve) to use that thing when I need it.

Thanks for the compliment. :)
 
changed some things around

I put the printer on the opposite end of the table - it's behind the 23" LCD - and brought the Power Mac from underneath to the top. I think I'm getting better reception with the antenna where it is. The same keyboard and mouse control the PowerBook when needed by way of a Belkin USB switch. I've gotten distributed processing in Compressor working between both computers - it probably shaves 15% off encoding times.
