(place picture of PC here)
Antec SX830 case, Athlon TBird 1.2/266 @ 1.35/300 (by the time picture is up, this will be Athlon XP 1.4GHz @ 1.53, doing a processor swap with friend because his mobo went bezerk), EPoX EP-8K7A, 256MB PC2100 DDR, 45GB IBM Deskstar 75GXP, VisionTek XTasy 6564 64MB DDR Geforce 3 Ti200 @ 225/475 (picked it up for $100 a few months ago, sweet deal), SoundBlaster Live! + Labtec Pulse 424's, Philips 8x/4x/32x burner + Sony 52x CD + Zip 100 + good ol floppy, 19" Samsung Syncmasta 955df
256MB, 30GB, 8x/4x/32x + dvd combo, the standard stuff, OS 9.2.2 + OS 10.1.3

320MB, 30GB + 20GB, 8x DVD, Zip 100, Radeon 32MB DDR, OS 9.1 (we're going to upgrade someday, this is his primary work comp so he never has time to bother with it) 19" LaCie Blue Electron II

The only difference now is that the trackball has been replaced by a Kensington PocketMouse Pro (cuz I got tired of cleaning the dirt out of the trackball). And hopefully the iMac will be replaced with a Powerbook whenever a revision happens.
Hey! Your desk actually looks good under that iMac! I'll be damned. You had a G4 iMac desk all along. No wonder you had to replace your "old" PowerMac.
Didn't mention - this is the 800 MHz SuperDrive model with 512 MB of RAM.
Damn this thing is sweet. Lots of play in the display though - twists a little too easily I think. Oh well, having some RAM installed in the inner slot tomorrow, I'll have the guys check it out. Putting a 512 MB stick in that inner slot, which will give me 768 MB total. (now have a 256 MB full size chip to sell...)
I got this for $2799 CDN. Got a deal on it when it was at the old price, so it ends up being $250 less than current retail. Can't complain there...
Anyway, I'm hard at "work" tonight re-ripping a lot of my CDs. I'm going for quality this time around and doing everything at 320 kbps. I'm averaging 10-12x, which is higher than I thought I'd be getting. I'm impressed.

Let see how long this machine will last
<strong>murbot, what happened to the PowerMac that was gunna last you a while??? </strong><hr></blockquote>
Well. Here's the formula. The actual length of life that his machines last is about 1/12 of the length he mention
Like when he says it will last for a year it only last for a month or maybe less.
Last time he said the 800Mhz G4 will last until next Spring. And it ended up gone in 1 months and a few days
I bet he will be saying "This machine is good enough for me need and it will be on my desk until fall"
That translates to ------- This machine will be on my desk for only a few weeks
EmAn. You said I am catching up right? I am far from it
