I'd like to raise the argument that Apple computers are indeed "Personal Computers", and if I remember correctly, the Apple II was the first (or at least one of the first) PCs.

Sorry for the quality, it's a cellphone.
Anyways, pictured is my hackintosh tower, currently booted into Windows 7, on my 26" tv.
Yes, I use an Apple keyboard for Windows, I'm normally on Snow Leopard on it anyways.

Macbook Pro, Acer 21.5 inch (1080p) + 17" Dell (1024 x 1280).
You can't see my Logitech speakers. Those Dell ones are for the other desktop (look at third image)

Nothing like using an AP environmental science book to raise your monitor a few inches :D

I couldn't find my iPod Mini, but here you see my iPhone 3GS 32GB, iPod Touch 1st Gen 8GB, iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB, iPod Nano 1st Gen 2GB.

Under my desk:

Free printer from Apple, my custom build desktop (see signature for specs), some boxes with ink/toner/software/extra hardware and on the far right, you see my Dell Dimension 8400. (Pentium 4, 3.2ghz; 1GB RAM; ATi x300 128MB, 160GB HDD)

If anyone is interested to see what inside of my custom built PC looks like, just let me know

More Apple products to come! :D



Here they are!
I didn't do any "cable management" for the simple reason ... I don't really care haha. Well actually, I did that build when I was 13... so yeah.

Just so you have an idea regarding what you are looking at:

GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Yes, I did just copy and paste that from order invoice from Newegg. The email is dated from Jan 19 2010. Wow, time sure flies! Seems like I got this yesterday.

No he didnt, as this thread can also include a lot of computers that dont run Windows e.g. the SGI Fuel by my feet. After all, you can post SGIs, old Sun boxes, Apple ][s here - all of them are Personal Computers and non-mac, so fit this thread, but their also not Windows PCs either.

There are better things to post on MR than snarky comments about someone's alleged laziness. The search system on this forum sucks more than a hooker using a vacuum cleaner, and MRoogle has been in endless cahoots as of late. Give the guy a bloody break.
