What does YOUR computer spot look like?

[planet10]

And here is an up-to-date shot of mine. For scale, the little monitor is a 19", and my ancient G4 under the desk.

That is a nice set up planet10 i like that. i think im going dual 19" samsung dyna flat monitors there about 380 now so there getting cheap. and a dual spu tower with a dvd-r and 2 x 120 gig hard drives. : O ) i cant believe the apple towers dont need updates to see larger hard drives. NOt like the older pc's where you have to put drive overlay software or bois updates. : o ( just plug your new hdd into the mac and format it and then start using it. : O ) SIMPLE

The "official" name for any Blue G3 is Smurf.

My Smurf sits at my ISP hooked up to a 10 mbs pipe.

YOUR LUCKY. Do you think it is a bad idea to run my own webpage off of my new mac. ? since it is easy to do. ? or should i build a seperate machine mabey a small bsd box. Here is a pic of my old dual monitor setup 4 months ago..

I saw the guy getting the G4 after Christmas, so here's whats coming for me (from me) after Christmas (I am switching from SGI Indigo2 and Onyx to Sun!!)

Dual procs, fiber channel, elite3d :-) :-)

That is nice but what about hard ware what do you do for more room ex hard drives. does that machine have usb fire wire What about burner.? Do you have a screen shot of your desk top from yuor current system what about a pic of your current system..?

The machine has a DVD player. It has both firewire and USB although I have no use for either. It takes 8GB of RAM and can be upgraded to do 30-bit color. It's a Sun Blade 1000, rather than the 2000, which are still over $12,000, and the only difference with the 2000 is that is has faster processors. As per hard drive expansion, it will take two or three, but I have 4 Sun A5000 arrays, 14 9.1s drives each for a total of 509gb.. Although I only have one working right now. Fiber channel is really, really sweet, especially to have inside the box. The sun will also take 2 Sun PCi Pro cards which will allow me to run windows if the need arises.

It was a tough choice over a SGI Octane2, but the 600mhz machines are slower, I don't do much video anymore, and they're still $7-8000.

I don't have a digital camera.

My desktop system is a Silicon Graphics Indigo2 max impact which is fine for web surfing and what not..

Downstairs I have an Onyx with fiber channel which is attached to the arrays. I also have 5 or 6 Sparcstations for the internet firewall and all. The Onyx is maxed out and does things I still cannot do with PCs.

Right now I am on the only PC in the house, a dual xeon 550 with a SGI 1600SW..someone else in here has one.

..... errrrr, yep, that'd be me - and a fine piece of hardware it is, too

As Robin was heard to say, "holy **** Batman ...... what do you do with all that hardware ???"

.... the boys at SGI would just love that - I'm not quite sure that's what they had in mind when they built it, but yes, I'm sure it does a fine job of this too

Hope the Sun continues to shine !!

cheers
