Well everyone, I sold my PowerBook and bought... a brand new Dual 2.0GHz G5! It is amazingly fast. I am in love. :happy:

The worst part? Well, look at that damn monitor! Suffering with this horrible CRT from the early 90's until my new Dell LCD gets here. I'll repost a new shot then, once it's all set up and nice-ified. :cool:

STFU! :angry:

I know it sucks... :no:

ZZOOzzoo: Which monitor were you looking at getting? I got a 1905FP for $299 shipped ($479 with $200 off + tax) and got in right before the deal expired! I'd have liked one of the widescreen 20" or 24" monitors, but maybe later. This one will satisfy me for the time being.

Haha... yeah, it kinda detracts from even having the G5, as I feel that it's kinda useless at 1024x768... and 60Hz, so it's an eye killer too... :wacko:

so by he you mean guy or girl, il have to be honest with you, that just looks exactly like a girl

Have been waiting a little while for this!

My Apple Mac Mini 1.42 / 1gb ram/ 80gb / Adobe Creative Suite / Tiger/ OfficeX machine :)

macmini.jpg

Its hooked up to a shiny Viewsonic VP171s 8ms monitor which suits it perfectly. Currently waiting on my new Apple Keyboard and Mouse from Apple UK - that older setup is borrowed from college, the media department took pity on my request as they know what its like having to wait! hehe!

Wouldn't be the same without the matching iDuck :p

I absolutely love this machine. Silent, powerful, tiny... Looking forward to getting my external 200gb hard drive hooked up once the caddy arrives and having my matching keyboard and mouse. Oh, and should be getting a set of the JBL Creature II speakers once a paypal amount settles into my bank :)

Hope you enjoy looking at this thing as much as I do!

Ben.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free.
