I was wondering if the apple section has a post your setup thread. So I created one.
 
I like this kind of threads so I'll post my setup too:
mysetup.jpg


I still have two (2) PC's but am planning to replace them with one PowerMac-class system. It's a difficult time to make a buying decision now that the first intel-Macs have been introduced.

The Mac in the picture is the iBook from my sig (12" - 1.2Ghz G4 - 768MB - 80GB - BT/AE). Never been more satisfied with a computer! That was a fine whiskey by the way :D.

What's with the vaccuum cleaner on the right of your screen? That must be freakin' impossible to hear any sound from a game when you try to play.

20" iMac: 2.1 GHz, built-in iSight, etc. Still a nice system even with the Core Duo version around.

12" PowerBook G4: 1.33 GHz, 80 GB drive, Combo drive. Probably going to be sold very soon.

Not shown are my 30 GB iPod and my burning desire to replace both Macs with a single MacBook Pro.

(Edited 15 years later to bring the picture back... still had it hanging around! The Macs are long gone, of course)

I really like that setup. Very Clean. :)
 
It started life as a modded shuttle with 17" dell tft.

then came then 15" powerbook, then the mini, then the ibook, and now the powermac and 20" ACD... damn apple crack. I'll update the pic in a week or so when the 20" intelimac arrives.

Excellent setup, Aurelius! You have a lot screen real estate to work with. I would get a Dell monitor for use on my PowerBook, but I just can't mix the two brands. I'm picky like that. :p

Edit: Here is mine:

It's a little cleaner now... but I still need a new mouse pad. Also I am getting a new desk soon. I need a lot more workspace. I feel cramped sometimes! o_O

We don't even know if it's going to use a Core Duo, and why would you bother asking in this thread?

Hahahah, I haven't seen a box of those in years.

One more question:

WHY do you have a box of 5.25" floppies?

We were cleaning some stuff out here and came across quite a few boxes of 5.25" diskettes, so there are a few of us here at work that have them

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a Power Mac G3! They're awesome-looking machines. :)
 
I want to rob you of your computer, esr2.

Lol, do it, im not entirely impressed. the intelimacs are a far cry from the rock solid foundation i'd been used to, sure universals will help - but even programs like iChat aren't waht they used to be.
