Thanks man. Unfortunately that Shuttle is going to go very soon. I just picked up a TJ07 case and I'm going to venture into watercooling so my desk will look a little less busy without it. I'll have to find something else to fill the gap :)

Aye. Would you mind posting pictures in which we can actually see what you have, then?

I spot a G25, Z-5500's, a Samsung 216BW, an HP vs17, MX518 and MX500 mice, a Samsung BlackJack, a Logitech Access 600 KB, a MS Wired 500 KB, a Uniden phone, a Newegg pencil holder/temp thingy, and a Logitech USB mic :p

I'll get some brighter pix tomorrow. I was fooling with shutter speed.

Nice setup
I live in richmond hill too, where did you get that Dante figurine?
 
I've been moving everything around and I got most of it done, not completely finished though so there's random stuff laying here and there...
but here's what it looks like as of right now...
Setup7.jpg


I need more games to fill up the top shelf, but right now there's a turkey living in it...
Setup10.jpg


Here's part of my audio setup and some of my PC games...

... and my Shelby 427 S/C...
Setup6.jpg


This is what it looks like inside my A05B... I might want a window on it...
Setup9.jpg


... and my external hd and optical... they both have blue lights as well...
Setup11.jpg


And finally my new MDR-V6 cans on their new rack...
Setup12.jpg


Now I just need a blue lit mouse and keyboard for the blue light overkill :D I'm thinking the Razer Death Adder and the Lycosa keyboard, haven't figured that out yet though.

Well... see y'all later.

I got it from the comic store on bayview and major mack called Planet X. It's on the south east side of the intersection in the same plaza as subway I believe.

MAJOR LAWLZ :D

Curiously though not a food spec or coke smear on any of the hardware or things lying around. There has to be a cola-troll living under all of those bottles :p
 
LOL if you look at the coca cola bottle with the green cap on the desk, there is the birth of the cola troll you speak of. :rolleyes:

nooooo you can see all my cables that i tried to hide aww well (under the desk that is)
 
updates.. sold my macbook pro and setup a quad core (q6600) "hackintosh", it's got leopard installed, able to update straight from apple's updating service.

also, since i lost my "2nd monitor", e.g. the macbook pro's monitor, i went ahead and picked up an lg l246wp..

None so far. Have all functionality working at this point. The ONLY thing you can't do right now is Boot Camp, but you can still dual boot with external boot loaders like Grub, etc.

EDIT:
For you guys wanting info on how I did all of this, you MUST check out this:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=72493 (That is the guide I followed)

There are several other guides, and are several other ways you can configure your system. You can change partition scheme to use GUID (allows more partitions per drive, larger partitions, and the ability to non-volatile edit your partitions).. I went with a standard MBR partition scheme.

There are HUGE advancements being made in the level of hardware being supported and making things even easier. Right now, to setup leopard on my system, I just needed a special boot cd that has a stripped down version of Tiger on it. A patched (using "Brazilmac"'s patch method and files) retail copy of Leopard (yes I bought my own copy to do this, and PLEASE, no discussion about legality here), and lastly a thumbdrive with several files on it.

The guide I linked has all of the information you need.

EDIT, ONE MORE TIME:
To use the vanilla version of the leopard kernel and be able to update as you would on a normal mac, you MUST have a processor that supports SSE3 instructions set. A safe bet is an intel core2duo, quadcore, coreduo type of a processor. In the link above, several folks with various degrees of hardware posted their findings and fixes to getting it working on theirs. Yes, it is a SUPER long thread to read through, but it has every piece of information you need, INCLUDING FINDING ALL OF THE SOFTWARE AND PATCHES AND FILES YOU NEED.

:D

Good luck!

I'd be happy to continue answering questions via PM, just know that I'm going to most likely point you back to this post depending upon the question. If it is a question directly related to my hardware, then I'd be happy to answer them more in detail.

My rig specs:
Intel D975XBX2 "Bad Axe 2" (audio working, ethernet working, sleep and wake working)
Intel Q6600 (stock cooling, stock speeds ---- for now)
4GB (2x2GB) 800mhz G.Skill
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB SC (All video options and enhancements are working)
Cooler Master 690 (750w PSU -- don't be fooled, I went with a 550w at first, this was NOT enough for this rig.. go for as high as you can afford)
1x Seagate 7200 Barracuda 400GB (Sata 3.0)
1x Seagate 7200 Barracuda 500GB (Sata 3.0)
Asus DVDRW (DL) with Lightscribe (Sata)

I kinda disagree about the PSU... 550 watt is plenty for that system.

I built one similar but with 2 gigs of ram and an 8800 GTX, and Lianli A05, and a 520watt psu...

I'm running an X2 4200, with 6 HDDs, 2 DVD drives, and 8800 GTS 320 on a 630Watt, I have zero stability issues... both CPU/GPU overclocked decent...

Not for me Blazestorm, removing the video card allowed it to boot, with the video card in, no dice. As soon as I upgraded from the Rosewill 550w to my Cooler Master 750w, all was golden. That's just my experience.

Not all PSUs are created equal...that Rosewill 550w unit might have been a junky PSU.
 
he's right about that... a high quality 550 watt psu is much different then a generic 550 watt

Amen..

It's not about spending as much as you can afford on a PSU...just don't buy junk and buy one from a good name brand company(ie: OCZ,FSP,etc).
