I bought my work Powermac G4 home this weekend to mess about on, so my PC has temporarily been cast aside and I am posting to you from Safari on OSX 10.2.8 :D

Anyway - here is a shot of my (hastily tidied) desk and a close up of the mac... oh, and my aluminium cased PC just sat by the side of it :)

Labtec: 4 computers in your room? What represents the use of each of your 4 computer? :|

I upgrade frequently with the spare money I get building computers for friends, family, and some of their friends/family (built about 80 computers and I charge $100 - $200 per computer). Anyways, I have two computers in use always & other two are the ones I used to use before I upgraded the two I'm using now. Usually, I have about 4-5 friends over & they hook up the computers and we scrim Counterstrike online or play other games. I can't do that anymore because I sold some parts from the two computers not in use, I just need a few new cheap parts & then I can sell them. :p

how do u get away with that? i charge about ?50 per pc, i cant afford to charge anymore because people start considering oem's like dell. i dont my compents as cheap as a shop or oem:ss

What do you mean? The people I build for aren't usually cheap, they just say build what you think is the best & they go with it because they trust me & a lot of people come to me (recommendation from their friends). I recently built a P4 2.4C overclocked to 3.0 ghz, Radeon 9800 non-pro (modded to Pro), 512 MB PC3200 Ram, Hercules Fortissimo 7.1, 80 gig WD 8 mb cache HD, DVD/CD-rw computer with 17" NEC LCD1760V monitor for $1550. Computer costed $950 to build & the Monitor was $400 ($1350). Similar spec'ed Model at Dell or whatever with LCD costed $2500 or more and in some cases way over $3000 (although they offer printer, cheap $40 speakers, and some software. I can provide that as well). As for lower end models I can build them decent ones for about $400 - $500 (Barton 2500 overclocked to $400 XP3200 speeds, etc) & only charge $100 ($500-$600 total) & in the end still better offer then what most companies will.

Whats the make of the black case? looks really cool :)

Raidmax: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?...tion=11-156-123 $36 + $15 shipping, isn't that bad and includes a decent 350 watt power supply. The power supply supported Barton 2500 overclocking to 2.4 ghz, and supported my Radeon 9800 in it as well so it's fairly good. But only problem is that it scratches so easily.

i like the mini barbebone case, but since ur into overclocking, air flow must be a bitch in that thing...

Not really, the IDE cables are split open. And the IcyQ technology built in the case. There's 2 fans, power supply directly over the CPU fan & another on the side. With the overclocking I get 50 - 51 degrees (that's with the retail heatsink / fan of the P4 2.4C sometimes 52 degrees when I do heavy gaming) on my friends roomy case system with specific overclocking heatsink/fan he gets 52-53 degrees. It's also very quiet, you can barely hear it.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
