Can't you get a docking station?

Not for this laptop no, as far as I know the Studio line don't have support, only the business line do (Vostro etc.)

Wallpaper?

I posted it in the Desktops thread, it's called Green Forest and can be found here

The specs for everything are in my sig. The 23in LCD behind the MBP rarely gets used anymore. Same for the MX1000 mouse or keyboard. I just SSH into the desktop now.

Looking @ it I realize that I dont use the speakers anymore either, I use the MacBooks or headphones, and yes, that is a 6850 just sitting on my desk. I have no use for it anymore so I took it out. I plan to sell it eventually.

you should sell that MBP

you should sell that MBP

It's the only thing I have that I actually use. The desktop is mostly just a file server now, when I actually have it on. I have an external 2TB drive that I keep all my stuff on, and it's just a copy of a 2TB drive in the desktop. It could die tomorrow and I won't really care, it was a waste of money to build it. I'm actually looking for an external RAID1 to put 2x 3TB in for backed up storage, and turn the 2TB into a Time Machine drive.

Ah my bad, I misread your last post. I thought you mentioned your MBP rarely gets used anymore which is why I suggested you selling it.

Here you go, finally updated my workstation. If you remember my old one (it's in the old thread).. this is a big improvement. Strange dot on the last image is a lens flare. xD

Clean and Unclean. :p

I'm not a MAC guy, but that is a sexy setup! Your paint job/colors are pretty sweet.

Thanks.

It was all painted by myself and a friend of mine. Took us like 2 days but it was a lot of fun.

Here's the setup I finally put together, 2 Promise SmartStor RAID devices, I put 4 2TB drives in each, then configured them for RAID 5. I have 6TB usable storage on each. To keep costs and power usage down, I bought WD Green drives, which spin at 5900 RPM, but I daisy chain them to my Mac Mini via FireWire 800, so I still get some incredible read/write speeds.

At the end of it all, my total was right around $1350.

What desk is that? I've been trying to find a decent-priced corner desk just like that. Only downside is I can't fit my 32" vizio on most desks... And I really don't like turning to switch from my xbox to my pc and back.

I just got a table, computer desks have too many different shelves and things on them - all I need is one large, sturdy surface. :]

Here's my desk at work these days. I've been doing a bit of everything so there's all kinds of hardware.

MacBook Pro (late 2009) -- Lion/Snow Leopard dual boot

Mac Pro (late 2010) -- Snow Leopard

HP Elitebook 8540w -- Windows 7 Enterprise

HP 6000 desktop -- Windows Server 2008 R2

iPad 3G 32GB

iPhone 4 (GSM) (used to take the pic)

2x Dell 19" and 2x Dell 17" on an Ergotron 2x2 stand

Using Synergy to get the Mac and PCs to talk to each other

    • LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video. Loop a video / audio clip X times quickly without re-encoding LosslessCut 3.69.0 changelog: Add lossless cropping & aspect ratio override via bitstream and container metadata #643 Alow shifting tracks for each file (-itsoffset) #216 Add "decimate video" tool to filter away all non-keyframes #2111 Add Windows ARM 64 native build with native ffmpeg Move timecode out of timeline and make it copy-able #2592 #2691 #2800 #483 #2808 Upgrade Electron to latest Add new "opposing" align mode #2654 Add FFmpeg -hwaccel auto setting for hardware acceleration of certain operations Add API events export-start and export-complete Allow deleting track metadata #2819 Improve shift segments dialog #2839 Show keyboard shortcuts inside button tooltips in UI Warn if trying to cut with too few keyframes around cutpoint #516 #2780 #2756 (Linux) include app name in notification #2794 Pull latest translations Other notable changes: Advanced output directory selector #2101 #2115 #2755 increase max file name length to 250 (truncation) #2779 don't reset playback speed when using special playback modes #2889 preserve chapters when merging files that already have chapters don't merge adjacent segments in combineOverlappingSegments #2896 don't transfer segment name when filling gaps #2754 always scroll up to zoom in #2703 #2786 increase max keyframes to 10000 Don't bind ctrl/cmd+c by default (they interfer with copying text) Many other improvements and fixes Download: LosslessCut 3.69.0 | ARM64 | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Links: LosslessCut Website | Other Operating Systems | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Doesn't even need a UI for point 2 - use some sort of JSON/XML container - because MOST users won't even bother.
    • Legit concern or publicity stunt considering this is the first time I'm hearing the name?
