Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Yeah it's an amazing design and the screen is crystal clear. I take it you bought the 20" model? It's hard to tell from the photos alone.

Yeah it's the 20", i decided to save my money to get something else (a guitar, the one above my iMac).

Kerm: Get yourself Aperture and CS3 :)

It's the DG834N and yes, very good, awesome speeds and reliable. Network consisting of 2 macs and 1 PC. It's passed the new 2.0 draft i think, so that's good.

Jordan: Haven't had time to do much with it, been busy all day. My MBP is still going to be main computer, the iMac is more of a computer i can teach my mum so she doesn't have to rely on the PC we have which is very unreliable. Also to keep intouch with me when i go to China for 6 months (iChat) and when i head off to uni.

Yea, fair do's I understand what you mean and its a good decision because you can do video and audio cheaper than phone calls :p

Well good news im ordering my 20" 2.4GHz iMac on friday so ye should get it within 2 weeks :)

@beautiful.blood, If i'm not mistaken and my memory is good enough i think it was called FREDERIK or something like that, anyways it was a super popular desk but for some reason IKEA, discontinued it,a lthough you may still find some in some stores.... In my nearest one Birtsall, Leeds they have a few left still.

Ah might as well add these:

Hey, weren't you the guy that was very anti-iPod not so long ago and wrote a glowing review of the Zen Vision:M? Why did you decide to get the classic? Is it a lot better than the Zen?

Creative, iRiver are a lot better than any iPod i've owned. I simply got one because i use a Mac and none of those brands can sync with my music as simple as an iPod. Other brands require plug ins and even then, its not as straight forward and simple. I don't have the time to mess about with that stuff.

To think I only got my first mac in January ;D

Pictured is 2 750GB externals, Mac Mini G4, Airport Extreme, 20" Dell, 24" iMac 2.16GHz 1.5GB, Macbook Pro 2.2GHz 2GB w/ 8600M GT.

Edit: Photo taken with a K800i, hence the poor quality.

    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
