Picture of your setup

Thanks for the compliments! It was a little scary putting the MotoTool to it for the first cut... after that, it was hard to stop <<where's that insane laughter coming from?>>. :confused: ;)

For a complete blow-by-blow, you can go here:

They make you sign up to view images... I lost that argument (I'm a mod there), but it's free and they're a friendly bunch... flame wars not allowed!

To repeat a warning I posted elsewhere about this hack: Cooling the upper drive seems to be a small issue, but one that is present. I am occasionally getting write errors, especially at higher speed... but that could also be due to cheap media (I don't get errors writing to Apple DVDs, just to audio CDs) or my habit of unmounting the SuperDrive and sticking it in an external case from time to time. :D
 
The Appledoctor fills me with fear - I was nervous enough installing an extra hard drive.

That aside, some of the photos here show PCs in various states of dismemberment. I've noticed that in offices, too; the PCs have had saws taken them to mount boards sticking out of the cases, huge holes cut in the top for fan vents, cases held together with string (and in one case chewing gum to prevent a CD tray springing open unexpectedly when not in use)...

Yet in 14 years Mac use I've only seen ONE pizza Mac with a slightly ill-fitting case. We Mac users get what we want straight off the shelf, or what? HA!

Oh yeah? Wanna bet? Go to my studio page :
http://homepage.mac.com/tormente/studio/
(new pictures for those of you who have seen it before)
Scroll down to about half the page, and look at the 2nd pic after the "My Office now... (what's left)" heading.

But those are because I'm trying to fix them! :D
 
So many of you have such wonderful setups. Hopefully after I get a job I can add to my current setup, maybe a Powerbook G4. I was also thinking of setting up a 6500 as an MP3 server or linux box. Any thoughts?

here's a pic of my desk at work

Wasn't this thread sticky?
Anyway...

My setup keeps changing little by little, and with a desk that I saw that I MUST HAVE, things will be changing even more (if I can get the money to buy it in time for my operation).

Here's my current setup (1st link) and screenshots (2nd link) if anyone is interested. :)
