nuka_t Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 its supposed to be on the right side. thats the way all hardware is made. its made for righthanded people, and right handed people want their computer on the right side. this makes it easier to turn on/off and also reduces cord clutter, as keyboards have the wire coming out the right side and the mouse is right next to the case. otherwise, you would have cords running accross the desk if you put it on the left side. why does apple just HAVE to be different, even making their products less practicle and not adhering to common standards?

"common standards"... yes. just because that's how it's done in "your" world, everybody has to do it. perhaps you've heard the expression: "think different". personally, i would rather have my window the way it is done in apple's case, as opposed to the way it is in pc cases, because it matches my setup better.

nuka_t Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 what stereotypes and generalizations? every hardware company, other than apples "pro" keyboards, has the wires coming out of the right side so taht there would be less cable clutter because people have their computers on the right side. why does apple have to go against this and make their computers more practicle for a much much smaller protion of the population who are left handed? its not "thinking different" its just a matter of "being different." you can go ahead and feel special, but dont come crying to me when you have a hard time inserting a cd in with your left hand. id bet that 90 percent of right handed users bend over all the ay to the left side wit htheir right hands just to put cd's in. its just stupid. why cant they cater to the average person, which is right handed.

nuka_t Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 check this out homie......BTX thanks. btx looks cool, but pretty complex for a doit yourselfer. i guess thats good because it means less people can fix their pc's themselves and therefore more people will end up paying to get it done.

How is it any more complex? It's just a different layout. Also, what the heck are you talking about with cable clutter because the door opens on the left? All that matters is that the cables come out of the back, so that doesn't depend on what side the door opens. It can open up on the top for all I care, as it's shoved under my desk all the time and I'm never going to crack it open. Stop thinking in terms of building a computer... (oh, and don't give me crap about that, becuase I built my PC from scratch...) Another thread ruined by the retardation of nuka_t... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuka_t Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 the wire for the keyboard comes out the right side, adn the mouse is on the right side. if the pc is on the right, they will be closer, therefore, less cable clutter. if its on the left, the wires would have to go accross the desk diagonally. if you were going to mod the G5 with a clear sidepanel, you would have to put it on the left side, therefore, more cable clutter. and i wasnt pwnd because intel is doing it the same way. my point still stands and i wish that intel would make it so that it opens on the legt too. as for BTX, its more complex cause its so compact and close together, the wires are shorter and it looks more intimidating. i didnt build my computer from scratch, but i still open it every once in a while to clean it, add/remove hardware etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeWolf324 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 my parents bought me a G5 for my birthday but it was a piece of crap compared to my pc. i put all the insides on ebay and transplanted my pc into it. its awesome i love it, especially with all the lights and stuff.

MipScript Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm right handed have my tower at the right of my desk and there for if I had a G5 (which I don't) its door being on the right hand side would suite me fine. You are just grasping at straws - and no one wants to back you up, ya just like the bible bashers in the city center and they all end up in the river.

Steve Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm right handed, and have my tower to the left. Exactly, you need the right hand space clear for you to use your mouse comfortably, so you're gonna have the tower on the left! Makes sense... Personally, mine's tucked kinda halfway behind the LCD, @ the back of my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. My Microsoft Natural keyboard has the cord coming out of the center, as has just about every other keyboard I've seen recently (Logitech for sure).
