My camera made the screens look horrible- they don't really look like that. :laugh: And pardon the mess, I'm doing some typography homework. ;)

- Both screens are 20" Apple Cinema Displays

  • Left screen is connected to a 1.66GHz Core Duo Mac Mini
  • Right screen is connected to a 2.2GHz MacBook Pro

- The three external hard drives are all 250GB (There's three more, but they're scattered around the house.)

- I also have a server running Ubuntu 6.06.1 hidden under the desk.

mmmmm.. imacs :)

Uh... where? I think I've seen one iMac in this whole thread.

I don't think I've ever actually posted any pictures of my workstation. I change it just about every week. For example, I've now had my new 19 inch wide LCD for about three days. This stuff's really coming together.

I'll grab a camera and participate shortly.

Really nice setup, got to get me some cinema displays.

Do you use the Powermate a lot? Does the mac play nice with the Ubuntu Server? I have a spare computer lying about and thinking of servering it up.

How the hell can you work there? It's so cramped looking. Id hate that.

I don't work ...

Jimmy0, o yes maybe upgrade the keyboard and desk :p feel cramp and o yeah, another hampshire person :D

:laugh:

Like I said come december(ish) I won't be sitting in that corner anymore!

And yes, Hampshire FTW (Y)

I do use the Powermate a lot. My mighty mouse doesn't scroll, so I use that instead. I also have it set up to do different shortcuts in Photoshop and other apps. In my opinion, it's very usefull. :yes:

My Macs work very well with the server. I do everything through FTP, so it's really easy. Took a bit of configuring the server, but it's worth it. I put movies and stuff on it and I can stream them throughout the house. (Y)

PS- And if you're thinking of getting the ACDs, get them! They are really amazing.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
