Was taking a few pictures to show a friend so I decided to post them here.

Nice!!! My dad just bought his third one this week they are def sweet computers!

 

Thanks! He bought a G5 quad? Or another G5? There is a big difference between the quad and the duals.

 

Im pretty sure that he has 3 G5 quads, he uses them to design greeting cards and gift bags etc...

 

G5 quads are really good for that kind of stuff.

 

 

that looks tight.

 

I am retrofitting my Dell 4600 internals into a G5 case this winter break. Should be fun!

 

 

Thank ya much. It's a joy.

 

That's hot, but it won't be a G5 then.

 

It's definitely a sweet @$$ machine what vid card is he running? I'm contemplating buying one myself with a hefty discount working for Apple has it's benefits :grin:

 

how much that comp run ya if you dont mind me asking?

 

Gah.. those speakers and that mouse are hurtin' next to that god-box!

 

^^ I was thinking the same thing. here's my setup:



Peripherals are a must. F'ucking hot machine other than that though, and that's coming from a rather anti-mac guy.

Get some Logitech Z5500s, Klipsch's, or something (I got my X530s for $42 shipped...) and a good Logitech mouse--that will give you the whole package.

Jeez, nice mousepad though...

 

IS that a 2005FPW? I got the same screen Do you have any backlighting issues with it?

 

that thing is so sick i think im guna ditch my 2 ****ty comps and laptop and buy one of those

 

Holy **** Digi, that **** is sick as a ****

 

Yeah, it's a 2005... I read about a bunch of people having backlight issues but mine, to my delight, seems to be devoid of them for the most part. I do notice slight unevenness when all the lights are off and the monitor is entirely pitch black (but backlight's on obviously), but it hasn't bothered me at all. And I'm usually pretty picky about that sort of stuff.

DIGITAL - seriously, get some real speakers. Unless you are perpetually muted, you won't regret it. Still love that 30".

 

DIGITAL, is this the computer you used to redesign the maxima.org banner? I like the new look ALOT, and your computer is SICK!!!!

 

Sweet! Those thing's are truely beasts! I personally prefer PC hardware simply because I can build it with my own hands and there are more parts readily available to modify them. Here is a shot of my current setup



Seriously though, that G5 > any computer on the market at the moment. Very nice!

 

lol


I can't find my desk pic

4 monitors, 8.3ghz, 6gb of ram, 1.2tb combined


runs teh intarwebs

 

My friend has some Z5500's


they are nice for computer speakers








(I still prefer having a few amps on the rack though )

 

I just built a dual X2 4400+, 6gb PC4000, SLI 7800GTX


Dual 2405FPW's, two 0+1 arrays, PCP&C big black box, and water cooled. All said and done the bill rolled $10,800. Too bad it's not mine

 

Oh man, now that is sweet! More or less, that is a gamer's PC whereas Mac's are going to be workstations and editors. What is so crazy about that Mac is the fact that it basically has exactly what you listed, except it also comes with the possibility to upgrade to 16GB of ram I believe it is

Again, I'm more or less a gamer who does editing on the side, which makes the PC all the more vital with its ability to reach those latest framerates.

What chasis did you use for that beast?

 

Which I believe is a $8k upgrade

 

PC-V2100A


it was like building my first Lian Li all over again

everything fit like a glove and the worst part is I let my sister use my camera on her ski trip when I built it

 

oh wow! i dont got like apples that much, but i have a small apple lab top is pritty k0o .

that one you have looks like so k0o thoe big flat screem to.

 

3200 for the Quad
2500 for the 30"
450 for 4gig of DDR2 5300 667mhz ram (crucial) bought it from alvio.com, apple wanted 800 for 4gig of DDR2 4300 533mhz ram.

It came with 512mb of DDR2 4300 533 if anyone is wondering...

 

Is that english?

 

The speakers are altec lansing, They do the trick fine, if I really want to rock out with my c**k out, I can connect my Bose Accoustimass 10 to it, thru my Kenwood reciever.

I just wanted something with nice crisp sound, and a little thump, nothing major. I use my Sony MDR-900's most of the time though, thats what I prefer over any other sound system, is a good pair of headphones.

The mouse is a logitech, optical. It does what I need it to. I've had other ones that are wireless, bluetooth, etc, with teh wireless keyboard, etc. But I use it way too much and it's stupid to pay for batteries every month, when I can use USB power. Makes more sense for my application, since I use it everyday, for the majority of my waking hours.

But if I was going for looks only, I would have the wireless stuff.

 

I like your setup, my pc setup is similar, I also have a glass desk. But it's not a wrap around like yours. Nice workstation!

 

It is badass I must say.

 

Yeah, when clients see it, they are like WOW, that's niceeee, and start asking about it.

 

I'm not going to spend extra money on speakers, I use my headphones more often than the speakers.

 

No, actually, I used the PC to redesign the banner. I don't have 3D rendering programs for the Mac yet.

 

Yeah they are beasts indeed. I still use my PC's everyday though. It's good to have both platforms accessible though.

On your current setup, my feedback is, DESK. Please. Give it to goodwill. :x

And that monitor looks like a 15"? You can find a 17" for 199$ at staples this holiday season. Treat yourself to one, if your funds allow it...

 

Talk about multithreading... Nice

 

Just a little FYI, it's a LAPTOP not a lab top.

I bet it is pritty cool

 

all i can say is AMD
