It's only legal to run OS X on an Apple-labeled computer, so that's what I'm using. Still haven't bothered adding more cooling to the case since the last thread, need to fine someone with a drill press!

After that grand display of opulence I feel bound to post my own example so that people might learn that not all Mac users are pro photographers. Besides, I've got a new house and a new case but this Mac user is still LIVING LIKE poo poo!   Click here for the full 1280x960 image.

That's a really cute little setup! Doesn't seem very ergonomic though, does it get tiring to use the tablet?

Happy Pizza Guy posted:It's times like this when I really wish that Mac keyboards still had the power button on them like they did back in the day. Why did they take such a useful feature out? I've got to fumble around on the back of my mac mini every time I want to turn it on (which admittedly isn't often, but still). The official answer was that powering on the computer was a hack that was not in the USB spec. No as for why minutae like that would ever stop Apple of all companies; I have no idea. Maybe someone plugged it into a PSU and friend their power supply or mobo or something. I don't believe that they'll power on a modern Mac anymore.

Although if any multi-Mac users are wondering about it, Teleport is a much better alternative to Synergy if both the controller and the controlled computers are Macs.

Just to add to the continued questions... 1) is that an "intel inside Mac" mousemat?! Where is it from? 2) interesting wallpaper - what's that from?

It's not a Mac Classic because it has a front keyboard socket. It's most likely a Plus.

I'm not sure why some bright spark doesn't just put all the screws and poo poo on the backside of the mobo rather than on the frontside where you have to contend with RAM/VRM/fan/heatsink clearances that make it awkward to fit the screwdriver/allen key/mini wrench they provide. In contrast the back of the mobo has tonnes of room to work and even allows you to change the heatsink without removing the mobo from the case on most cases.

When I save up for a thousand dollar chair I'll repost mine and you can marvel at the extremely rare three button mouse.  (thanks nzspambot!)edit: almost 3 years now and unfortunately waffleimages killed the picture of my ancient white generic tower case with the Apple Sticker Making It Legal.

My chair finally came today so I thought I'd update my ancient pic. New mouse, keyboard and chair for a superior living like poo poo experience. Monitors, Mac and desk still the same old. Edit: and it's good proof that not every Mac user is living in either a design catalogue or an Apple Store

Doesn't your phone company send you free promotional/branded monitor stands every year? Failing that, your local office supply store should sell modular monitor risers for just a few bucks each. https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/keji-80gsm-a4-copy-paper-500-sheet-ream-kea4cp80rm

I got some L-shaped desks from disposals so redid my study. Left to right is my machine, Flower Power G3 iMac, SFF Lenobo ThinkStation, G4 eMac, wife's machine. Need to get another pedestal so I can get rid of that old drawer sitting there, and a new screen for the ThinkStation so I can chuck out those phone books and that terrible 768p monitor.

Thirst Mutilator posted:My dad used to dual box in Everquest while I played on my own machine between 6th and 8th grade, and the triple CRT set up's footprint was a major irritant to my mom in our modest apartment. Coulda been worse, Mom! This was the worst thing about LANning in the CRT era. Firstly you had to carry those suckas up however many flights of stairs. Secondly fat chance ever getting two people on one table back to back.

I've seen a tempered glass surface in a holiday house, that gets used 1 month per year and doesn't have anything resting on it the rest of the time, spontaneously shatter and the next time we arrived we didn't have a dining table.

well why not posted:weird thing to bump the thread about, but going back to the first dozen pages is amazing; there's square monitors, polycarb macbooks, all sorts of silver era charm. Is there a way to look at some of the missing waffleimages links? I know that there was an effort to recover the images at some point.
