Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased an iMac 27 inch ... i5 Quad Core 2.8ghz. 4gb Ram (will be upgrading to 8gb this coming few weeks). 1tb Hard Drive. Radeon HD 5750 (1tb) Graphics card. I got it with the Magic Mouse, which I hated at first, but now love (after installing Magic Prefs!).

I LOVE this thing! :D I've used Windows computers since ... well ... I started on DOS 5 on an Amstrad 1512, and have been on DOS and then Windows PC's literally for 26 years now (I'm 32), but I swear, I'll never buy another Windows PC again. This has opened my eyes. I used to be a serious Apple hater too. lol

Slightly Updated Hardware - I'll grab new photos in a bit!

15" MacBook Pro

2.66Ghz Core i7

4GB RAM (8GB on order)

120GB OCZ Vertex 2

500GB Second Drive (No ODD)

GeForce GT 330M 512MB

24" iMac

2.8GHz Core2Extreme

3GB RAM

500GB HDD

ATI Radeon 2600XT

32GB Wifi+3G iPad

Self explanatory :)

Here's mine. Only fairly recently bought an iMac (and I absolutely love it). I won't go as far as saying I'll always use a mac, because I used to think I'd never use another browser except for Firefox and now I use Chrome..

My iPhone would be in its dock but I used it to take the pic

I think it's more about the set-up than the Apple hardware.

Indeed, and posting a bunch of product names and some specs doesn't tell a lot about your set-up, at least not to me, I can imagine quite a few more think of a picture of your desktop/workspace one you say set-up and not some specs. :)

It's been some time and while not much ... well nothing... has changed on the hardware-side (same old late-2009-MacBook Pro 13", MagicMouse, same Logitech Z4 speakers...) I moved to a new apartment, got a new desk and some new lamps. Oh and the TV... I don't actually watch TV... It's more like some accessory that looks nice because it's so old. I don't even know if it still works, has been in my new place when I moved in, didn't even turn it on once...

And oh yeah, it actually looks like that. I like to keep things clean and organized.

    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
