Oh yeah, you're the one who knows I was gonna buy a 20" :p Well the 24" made me change my idea a little, so here are its specs :

IMAC 24/2.16 CTO

2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB

NVIDIA GEFORCE 7600 GT w/256

250GB Serial ATA Drive

SuperDrive 8X (DVDR-DL/CD-RW)

Kybd, Mighty Mse & Mac OS X

Country Kit

I might as well post some benchmarks of it in both Mac OS X and Windows. For now, all I think about is Xbench and 3dMakr 2006, maybe you guys could give me a few other ideas.. ;)

I don't know why they didn't offer a french keyboard though... it shocked me a little :( Unless the KB is a US International one, I will buy another one. They only had the Wireless one in french, and... for god's sake, I HATE WIRELESS, except in SOME devices.

I've saved my money since August 1 and it's gonna be paid in like 1 or two months again - I started school last week! I think I couldn't get a better deal though, I find the price simply awesome. To all of those who think it's a lot of money (and a waste), just look at the specs and look at the features, I think it's really worth it.

I know what you mean by wireless man. I bought the apple wireless keyboard. What a mistake. While I love the fact that it doesn't have wires to get in the way.. the performance is god awful. I get noticeable lag often. The batteries die too quickly too. Oh well whatever.

That's a great system you've got there. I ordered mine yesterday - I got the 20" but upgraded to 2.33GHz, 256mb VRAM and 2gb RAM. I'm also planning to post some benchmarks and a bit of a review; it will be interesting to compare our benchmarks and see how much different the performance is.

By the way, what's a country kit? :huh:

For a second, I was wondering who asked what a country kit was because I didn't know myself and I was like WTF. If it's a french KB, then good thing, I wanted one and they didn't give me the choice, so I had an english one x_x

About the wireless, it's not really that I'm not impressed by the speed, but the fact that we cannot recharge a Lithium-Ion battery's killing me - even Logitech's mice have Li-Ion batteries - and I am concerned by the health problems it could cause. Adding wireless everywhere IMO is a big mistake, we don't know if it causes cancer or other cellular diseases.

OMG man, we have the same speakers :D

You're using an optical cable to plug all the 5 speakers, right?

nope, only got a lowly iBook, as I said, only PC I have. But when I bring my PS2 in to watch I movie I hook the digital up to it, yes.

Looks really warm, iigloo. What camera do you use? I think it's a good camera, the quality is great.

Oh and this from your Flickr account

I use a Konica Minolta Dynax 5d, and yes, It's a really good camera, it's too bad Konica Minolta stopped making cameras.

:D I don't live in a jungle, haha, but there is this little forest outside so it can feel like that sometimes, especially in the summer when everything is all green.

Yep and pretty cheap too. Only thing is that if u notice it suffers from the backlight inverter failure issue that the old studio displays had. So I am going to have to dish out bout 60 or 70 bucks for a new one sooner or later.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
