Delish..... I love to see pure Mac homes :)

I am flirting with the idea of dropping a bit of coin on a new Mac Pro with dual 30's. It is one of those things that I have wanted ever since the PowerMac G5 came out years ago. Bump it up to 4GB of RAM (enough to run a couple of VMs) and I would have no excuses to ditch the last of my Windows PCs.

Currently running a standard 15" MBP that I bumped to 2GB. I just picked up an 802.11n Airport and daisy-chained my 4 500 GB drives off it. Yummo, 2TB of storage and no computer required :)

Very organized. (Y)

Oh, you just gave me really bad ideas with that setup...my husband is going to kill me. I need to get a set of those shelves for my office to clean up the 'graveyard' corner in my office. :p

Happy to hear that :)

I am unfortunately very OCD when it comes to my house. Part of it comes from living alone, there is no excuse for a mess. As far as my office setup, it is 1000% times worse.

Nothing new... just a lot of mess:

Route One magazine

Sony Ericsson software dvd

Lynx bodyspray

VO5 hair clay

Tissue

Wallet

Sony Ericsson K800i

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 box

Glass

Savlon

Scissors

Pencils

Ruler

Remote Control

Glue stick

College work

Keyboard and mouse

Think thats all of it ;)

Those speakers are lovely, what are they if I may ask :) I fancy changing my Sony Bookshelves I use on my setup to aid my towers for something more modern looking.

I know what you mean, i have some towers back home which aren't that nice looking..

But anywho there Mordaunt Short 902i's. From Richer Sounds.

Is that a Samsung 204BW I spy? same TFT as me, do you suffer alot from glare even on low light settings, mine really bugs my eyes after only a hour or so and I am so tempted to get rid.

It is indeed! Can't say mine does suffer from glare maybe a little but i think thats because its dvi connection, its pretty much perfect actually. I have my settings on 100% bright, 75% contrast - seems perfect :)

Is that a 226BW on your wall because mine and as far as I know everyone else's 226BWs have terrible viewing angles especially from the bottom - isn't that a problem for you since you got it wall mounted pretty high and say you're going to move it up even more?

I have the 226CW, the viewing angles arent bad, but better than the BW. I'm not going to be on the floor forever. My desk is currently being used as a work bench.

I use DVI also on a 8800GTS, I have recently noticed *well tonight*, that it was on 59hz and was not using proper scaling, I switched it to 60hz and to Nvidia Scaling and it's been easier on my eyes, much less strain.

I still feel my friends Apple display is far easier on the eyes to use.

Do you find yourself moving from Text to Game alot btw?

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
