I GOT IT! Brand-New PowerMac G5!!!

[ShooterJM]

Nice. However, I'll stick with a pc. Tried to use an imac awhile ago and nearly broke the keyboard over the desk within 5 min.

haha,they are kinna confusing, i get lost in the skools but i usually get out fine.

[ShooterJM]

I just find them counter-intuitive, but that's probably because I've worked with PC's for so long.

I was screwing around with one yesterday at compusa. The same exact system with display. they are sweet as hell, but extremly overpriced!

Finally, I managed to get an Apple PowerMac G5, with a Cinema HD 23" LCD Monitor. Damn, this thing is beautiful. Wish I switched even earlier...... Now, off to install my Adobe programs, and everything else.

You mean your adobe programs and just about nothing else

Oh wait! Stuff-it Expander too. Whew, couldn't have a viable Mac without that.

Now, this is used for photography, so it is important that it be fast. Why buy a 2nd rate computer and dump it 2-3 years down the line when you can buy a GREAT computer and keep it for 6-8(with upgrading)

6-8? Dream on.

That's not how the computer industry works AT ALL. Good luck with that pipe dream.

not exactley overpriced. I mean look at the technology thats gone into the thing

also

harddrive
motherboard
2 IMB processors
superdrive
Ram
graphics card
sound card
9 fans
aload of other stuff

not that expensive when you see what you get

plus it's got a REALLY nice case with clear side panel and a vover for it

[Lone Wolf2]

they are good for graphics, but WAY overpriced also.

I like Apple's advertising!

Ew a supermodel in grannie panties. That's just.. blasphemous.

I never said that it would be used for PHOTOGRAPHY for 6-8, now did I. You just inferred it. It can however be used as a basic computer for that amount of time, despite the fact that faster computers will come out. It might get replaced in 4, but it will still be used afterwards. Do you throw out your computers immediately after you get a new one, or just keep it for a while. I mean, really, a 8-10 year old is not going to need a super fast computer to do their stuff....

A computer can still be used if it is properly maintained, no matter the fact that it will NOT be anywhere near top-of-the-line at that time.

HAHAHA Yea right! It will last 2 years max. Thats what I think. My dad and I build/upgrade 2-3 computers a year to keep up with the speeds.

You have to think, you cant really upgrade a Mac. It just doesnt work that way.

[painball]

Give em a month and already they'll be outdated.

[swanster]

had mine for 4 months. Not out dated yet and it aint gnna be for some good time.
Also macs are quite easy to upgrade. You just have to know where to get the parts

Wow, nice mac! Enjoy having no software!

Thats what I always tell my dad... then he gets all defensive and tells me why its sooo much better than windows
