Alot of you guys are in the IT field, or are in some way computer junkies. Guess what, me too. I run on a Mac G4 tower. I heard that these things rock for media, so about a year and a half ago I got it. Since then I have upgraded the hell out of it. It came with 256 Mb memory, dual 867 G4 processors, a combo optical drive and a decent video card (32Mb GeForce4 MX) . Since then I've upgraded the memory to 2Gb, installed a 200Gb drive, 120Gb drive, 80Gb drive (all internal) as well as a DVD burner. External drives are a 160Gb USB2, 80Gb Firewire HD and a 40x firewire cd burner. Printers: HP deskjet 895, Epson stylus photo R300, and a Laser printer. The R300 has a mulit memory card reader also. I've added a USB2 PCI card, TV/FM capture card (PCI). And today I picked up a video adapter dongle for the video card. The vid card has 2 ports onboard, an ADC and a DVI. the system came with a DVI to VGA adapter, but un until today I though there wasn't an ADC (Apple version of DVI) to VGA, but there was one hanging on the wall of the computer store I went to. Getting home I hooked it up and moved my old Dell 19" monitor from another station and feverishly hooked up the second monitor. I've run dual monitors before on Win boxes, but there's a catch to running those. The secondary monitor looses all Direct draw features as well as any other cool features (basicly you can run word processing and surfing, but that's it on the sec. monitor). Not so with this setup. I brought up the TV card and moved it to the secondary monitor and it still had picture. Even when it was split between the two monitors. I was like "cool". Now I can watch TV on one screen and work on stuff on the other. Oh yeah, all the perephrials are run on either USB or Firewire, no legacy harware.
So, tech junkies, what's your setup?
