Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

No Picks at the mo, But I have a 24" iMac in the bedroom, a Mac Pro with 8TB of HD space and 10GB of RAM in the front room. (serving Media and converting media between various formats) 17" 1st gen MacBook Pro for round the house and a 15" Late 2008 Macbook Pro for Work.

I love the fact some people have G4 towers and the Cinema diaplays still going. Mine all died off a while ago or where upgraded, but they are my favorite Apple machines. Still have a few at work.

I also have a full office in me and my wifes home (just got married June 2nd). I will have new pictures ready tomorrow. The desk I custom built myself. I'm the 3rd generation Son who was groomed to take over the family business of building million dollar houses; I started school for it, but chaned my degree to Computer and Networki Scincek

Nice, you sure do have a lot of storage! Do you use all that:p:p

Nice, you sure do have a lot of storage! Do you use all that? :p

At some Point or another yes lol

the PNY thumb sticks are mostly for Windows bootable apps and or portable apps

The 320gb WD portable i mostly use with my PS3

the 500GB older WD used to be a DVR extender for my Dish-network box

until bootcamp 3.0 with SL the time capsule used to be my main way of transferring large files from Mac to windows and back

I use which ever drive is most empty at the time for testing OS's mac,ubuntu,windows and i used the 1TB drive to test how the SL upgrade Process was going to go before i did it to me real system drive

I never had a white iMac, my last one was a 24-inch aluminium iMac (Early 2008, 3.06 GHz) :laugh:

But thanks! And yeah, it did cost a fair amount. Oh well. :p

I own two of them and I know that they do set you back but are worth EVERY penny :)

Love you setup btw. It's nice and clean. I wish I could have a setup like that but I own my own business and my home office is as organized as I can get it but it still feels out of whack with reports and financial statements, etc.. on the desk. Not to mention all the estimates, stationary, pens, calculatgors, post-its, etc... It's a mess...but an organized mess...BUT still a mess. lol.

I'll let you in on a little secret, but be sure not to tell anyone else! :shiftyninja: ...My desk usually only looks like that after vacuuming the room. You don't want to see the inside of the cabinet standing underneath my printer. :laugh:

Thanks btw!

I used to be the type that tried to make my room like a furniture store catalogue. But I've grown to realise that it's so unrealistic. I have stuff. I use stuff. And to me, this is what I call perfect imperfection: This is my setup, and soon to include a 24" iMac as well.

Don't worry, my guess is that all the picture perfect photo we see here are only that, perfect for a picture. The mess comes right back after. Unless the person is a clean freak....

    • Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.
    • I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.
    • When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
