So my setup is like this: Xbox 360 Slim with HDMI output to my iMac, and my klipsch speakers from my iMac with a headphone stereo jack. I'd like a pair of headphones with these features: - Price: No more than $300 preferably - Able to control chat volume and game volume seperatley - Velvet...

Did I post mine yet? I forget: http://i.imgur.com/3kASl.jpg

I'll post my 27" when it's lighter in the day on the weekend :o

I have the rat 3 and in OS X sometimes the cursor flies off to one side when lifting the mouse. Why is this?

Are there drivers or do I only have to update them by updating the OS itself?

I just slaped in 8 gigs of ram and now have 12 gigs, loads really fast, no need for an SSD :)

Your problem is with your old laptop ;)

Why the hell would I wanna have 30 windows open at once?

Understandable... and like my friend said about SSD's which I agree: Beyond startup times and initial application launch times there isn't that much difference in performance. And even those differences are marginally at best. There comes a point where I just stop caring about those 1-2...

Why did you have to sell it?

Why is it worth the money anyways? So I can save 30 seconds on boot up times? So I can load apps 10 seconds faster? Sorry, but please give me REAL statistics, not just opinions and overhype

Uh no I am not spending $600 on an SSD, not worth it

The fully loaded one too, core i7 with ATI 5750 and 1TB HDD... gonna head to the apple store to get it tomorrow, merry xmas to me :D

So where can I get the circular program running indicators?

Then what's a good $150 or so set of speakers for mac?

Pretty good quality or should I get external speakers? :o

gotcha

yeah my hardware wont work with OSX

Bah my parents dont see why I need an iMac when I already have a core i7 with a GTX 285. I'm just sick of windows already. I want a space saver. Macs use less energy. OSX is better. Blah. Help me out here guys, I need some more reasons to justify me buying an iMac.

Don't the current iMacs have an ATI 5750 ?

Gotcha

So I'm getting alot of different opinions from different forums with iMac discussions in them... one person says he bought one 4 months ago, a 27" but he didn't say what model, core i3 or i7 or what. But he said he was getting bad performance in source games. So I dunno what to think now.

Again, find me a computer with better specs with an IPS 27" backlit monitor than the core i7 iMac and post your results here.

lmfao

Oh no! He has challenged you!

this man speaks the truth

sweet

And I'd primarily use my iMac for TF2, L4D2 whicn I'm sure the video card in it can handle it at that res for highest quality, as well as the processing power for final cut pro n' stuff.

Well that settles it I guess, no SSD on my iMac

Well The only reason I got an SSD on my current windows machine is because I wanted apps to load faster, but after using it a while, the only thing I've really gotten out of it, is faster unreal editor loading times, faster load times in TF2 and faster installs of other misc. apps... so no I...

Well I was configuring my own iMac on apple.com - a 256 gig SSD was an extra $600 and it's about the same for any SSD of that size on newegg too. So then I guess it would not be worth getting an SSD then?

Do you take your iMac apart or what to do that?

No kidding. There are some games that play better with a controller but most games that require precision aim and FPS games are better on PC.

Is it worth the extra $600 to put an SSD in a mac, does TRIM work like in windows 7 at all?

Say what now? Why would they put one in there if it wasn't enough to run games / apps at that 27" resolution? Makes no cents

Thanks for the info guys

Yeah it's hard to tell what to trust out there especially since I've never owned a mac before. Just thinkin' it'd be alot easier on me and less frustrating, plus I don't do too much gaming, just the games you mentioned, mostly source games too, some video editing here and there.

Wow I had no idea. Alot of people on this other off topic forum I go to say that iMacs are not worth it because of the crappy graphics processing and newer games will be worthless to play because you can't upgrade your iMac.

Do you guys do heavy demanding graphics games on your macs or just photo editing or video editing, or what?

Was thinking of getting a desktop mac possibly. Just so many hardware issues over the years with windows, BSOD's, ATI video card / Nvidia card problems, so many frustrations over the years even with shop builds...
