This time Video wise and DVD Burning Capabilities.


I have been running dual monitor on my 9800 Pro for awhile, but wanted a 3rd, so I grabbed my old Radeon 7000 PCI Mac out of my old B&W G3 and tossed it in.

Bingo 3 LCD's with OSX, I finally have the desktop space that I want. Also, while I was walking around Compusa, I noticed they had the Pioneer DVR-108 16X DVD-R/+R RW Burner in stock, so I picked that up as well, then hacked it for OSX Support, so I now have a Combo Drive and a Superdrive

I also use an Ibook G3 700mhz, which is also maxed out, however its with apple right now for a logic board replacement :rolleyes:
 
Nice :) Mind me asking what kind of "work" you do to require that kind of Mac?

I've always wanted a mac, just for shits. ///goes to ebay and starts looking

Click the Eject icon on the top of the screen, and select the drive,


the keyboard ejects the primary, which is the combo drive
 
decided that I needed more resolution on my primary displays, so I bought a 19inch NEC DVI LCD.

The 19inch NEC and 15inch Neovo are running on the 9800 Pro (NEC = DVI, Neovo = VGA)
The 18.1inch Mitsubishi and 14inch Proview are running on the 7000 PCI (Mitsubishi = DVI, Proview = VGA)


its nice having space :D
