The computer setup thread

[MacHeadCase]

Let's see your computer setup right here!

Here's mine. :)

[Ryan]

My setup is just my macbook! :)

[MaDDoG]

MBP a desk and external hard drive. Not too exciting

[MacHeadCase]

Aww c'mon guys, play with me here! :biggrin:

[MaDDoG]

ya just dont wanna see right now......

[MacHeadCase]

I don't think it matters if your Mac isn't dressed yet. ;)

[MaDDoG]

see what I can do later....its lets go shopping time yay

[bobtomay]

ooh, what are ya gettin' me?


OK, I'll play, here's my MBP.


This is where I'm using my Mac 90% of the time - laid back in my recliner - no more desk for me.

Just the Mac.

And the last one is from my perspective with it sitting on my lap - 15" MBP same size as the 65" across the room.

[MaDDoG]

Here you are then

[MacHeadCase]

Thanks guys!

Ooh! That illuminated keyboard is so cool.

[MaDDoG]

I apologise for the mess.... was working on repairing hard drives just out of shot and had items scattered all over the place.

[MacHeadCase]

You call that a mess? Man, you'd call the cops on me if you saw all the stuff surrounding my iMac... It's uh well worse right now than in those pix I posted. :rolleyes:

[MaDDoG]

Thats mess to me. I like the uncluttered look.

[Kilted]

You guys are mind readers .The only reason I haven't posted a pic yet is I'm still tidying up

[bobtomay]

Mess, you call that mess, that's not mess, this is mess ...

[MacHeadCase]

Uh yeah I call that a mess too. :laugh:

[Ryan]

MaDDoG, all you have to do is push the stuff behind your screen and the mess magically disappears!

[bobtomay]

MaDDoG, all you have to do is push the stuff behind your screen and the mess magically disappears!

That wouldn't work for me. Only have 2 screens - a 26" and a 19".
Think I should move my 55" or 65" in there?

Here's mine ....at Last

[MacHeadCase]

Very nice workspace. :)

[Ryan]

I like how you have all of your software boxes on the left there!

I need to build up my collection!

[Steven Owens]

I'll get a shot of my new setup as soon as I am completely unpacked and setup. Unfortunately I have to move out of this place at the end of the summer, go home for a few weeks, and then move back out here...

[mathogre]

Mess, mess, mess. Still, it's min... it's just a mess. What would Martha Stewart think?! :scared:

[MacHeadCase]

Hey I'm not gonna complain: a great mind is at work here.

Not that I'm Martha Stewart either, though. :rolleyes:

[MaDDoG]

Thats not a Mickey Mouse telephone is it MO?

[mathogre]

Yes it is!

[Rxx]

Is that what makes it an artistic endeavor? :tongue:

[MaDDoG]

M-i-c-k-e-y, m-o-u-s-e.........so you have a mickey mouse and mighty mouse.

MDDG is the one behind the bar.

He likes to stay close to the booze.

[MacHeadCase]

[MaDDoG]

Who are you on that one, MDDG?

Nah. I'm the one with the biggest pile of chips.

[Tanner31593]

AH, I knew my defibrillator would come in handy some day.

Now that i've revived this thread, here ya go folks.

I had to hunt all over for this pic since photobucket is down. Took forever.

It's a couple months old, but it looks exactly the same, except now there's some creepy clutters a-crawlin' in.

It's not much, but it's MINE MINE MINE ALLLLL MINE! lol.

I let nobody use my computer. NOBODY. lol.

Let's hope this picture works!

[Tanner31593]

Oh, don't let that external drive on my PowerMac fool you.

I don't back up my mac.

I don't even know what's on that drive.

I think it's like a 10GB drive.
My hard drive is 40GB and only 6GB is full (Could that be slowing my Mac down?) so I don't know why I even hooked it up.

That enclosure was on eBay for $9.99 buy it now. It has no name brand.

I don't think it will hold very big drives. Could be wrong, but I don't know because I don't have any. :lol:

[BlueBell]

CRT's FTW! :D

OK, here's my setups.

My dad has that same PC.
Well not really, his isn't a P4, but it is 2.4ghz I think.
The rest of the specs are the same.
I HATE IT!
We got it from TigerDirect.
It came with video card problems.
It works fine, but when you shut it down it will NOT display any video when you turn it back on, unless you wait for an hour or more.
Oh and some of the memory card slots don't work anymore.

The LCD it came with SUCKS.
The power adapter in the back is loose or something, so you have to hold it in there just right to get the screen to turn on. It's to the point where that computer is hardly used anymore.
And the CDRW drive is weird. You have to push the button multiple times to get it to open. It just makes a weird thumping noise the first couple times like it's trying to open.

And it has like 5483573902573957349057 viruses i'm sure. The leading one being AOL.

[MacBookMaster]

hahhahahahha. wow that sucks!!!

[iKitten]

Very simple, almost doesn't deserve being called a "setup" (the empty space on the shelf is where my camera sits):

[iKitten]

Mess, you call that mess, that's not mess, this is mess ...
Hey, that "ugly picture" looks like it has Saguaros in it! :w00t:

Good lord, we must have the exact same computer.:blink:

This thing has had it's motherboard replaced twice. It's video card is basically dead, you have to go through reseting the CMOS and everything half the time you turn it on. Optical drive is fine so far *knock on wood.*

This, this thing, this is why I got a Mac. I guess I oughtta thank HP for switching me over.:rasberry:

Oh, and the LCD it came with is dead too. Backlight no longer fucntions.:thumbdown:

[iRye]

:lol: I have a setup. It's on the kitchen table.

Here's the PowerBook.
