iGary said in another thread that the company he works for, required a backup machine to continue his work if the Powermac goes down
More than likely it will be the Dell

It is the 2005FPW, and I'd hook it up to a Macintosh before I made judgements, it looks crappy with Windows. The adjustment is nice, but it's plastic. The ACD's aluminum feel like sex. I'd still spend the extra 300 for something I stare at 12 hours a day.
Nah, actually the keybord and mouse work pretty well.
Seriously not trying to sound like an ass, but I can't tell you who's software it is (stupid non disclosure clause - although I'm sure someone could figure it out by looking hard enough). Didn't think about playing DVD's - good idea!
My bad on the spelling, I use adhesive cable tie mounts under the desk:
Backup, and it runs my cartographic software that VPC choked on on the Mac.

Uh oh... here comes iGary's awesome dual display desktop
Here's my setup with my brand new just aquired iBook. Very clean and simple, just the way I like it
nice setup. very minimal.
I hope everyone is taking their batteries to the local hazardous waste facility ... remember: DO NOT THROW AWAY BATTERIES! It sucks for you and it kills our environment.
Here's a nice rechargeable battery site: green batteries ... They test the batteries and chargers and have some good info. on batteries in general.
I have a BT mouse as well, but i don't like how many batteries it eats. I actually don't like the (ever so slight) delay with a BT mouse; im going back to wired.

Well, I've moved, and finally set up my Cube how I wanted it. I bet this desk looks like hell within a week. Dang, I need an LCD display, that CRT is a piece.

Interesting shuffle dock you have there. What's it actually for? Camera? Hub? Or is it some strange 3rd party shuffle dock I haven't seen before?livingfortoday said:

I am loving this, although it took me so long to get myself hooked up to the net?, and then i used an ethernet cable
Congrats on the switch and nice setup. I did the same with the net

It's actually this new Belkin USB hub that's really cool. It's got three ports on the back (for my iMic, Keyboard, and ext. HD), as well as the top one which was designed for the iPod shuffle.
Here's a link from the Best Buy page:

Ah yes. I've seen something similar here in the UK, doesn't look as nice though. The ones I've seen are much bigger and bulkier, hence I wasn't too sure if it was one of those. The ones I've seen you can stack (apparently!) hence why they have the top USB port, aswell as being handy for shuffles etc! Seems a very nice hub! Along with a very nice setup. Been wondering about a nice looking hub to look good next to a mac. I have a belkin 7-port see-through one from my old Wintel laptop. Its not too bad, has nice lights that look good in the dark. See my setup pic to see it.livingfortoday said:
Thanks.

Wow, your mouse looks all spacey in that photo. Yeah, the hub is nice and all, but it's actually a bit small for my needs. I may have to get a second hub that's more functional but not so pretty and hide it under the desk or something. I still need to hook up the printer, the scanner, the camera, blah blah etc.
Thanks. Thats the effect I was after! I like using my PowerBook in the dark, just work off its screen light, mouse light and occasional USB (clip onto screen) light.livingfortoday said:
