My Desk, October 2011 Edition

I've made quite a few changes to my desk in the last few months, so it's time for a new picture.

What's New:

Hacktinosh has been seriously upgraded and rebuilt into a modified PowerMac G5 case.

Specs:

Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 2.79GHz

Gigabyte EP45T-USB3P motherboard

8GB of PNY DDR3 1333

2x80GB HDs in RAID0

Dual 9600GTs w/512MB GDDR3 each

Running 10.6.8 flawlessly, and faster than the early Mac Pros (by a wee bit, of course)

 

Replaced my P.o.S. speakers with really nice 2-way Yamahas. They're amazing soundwise but rather large, not to mention the stereo receiver that powers them. I'd like to replace them with a pair of studio monitors (cheap ones of course) like the Roland MA-15D or MA-10D.

 

Little Changes:

Replaced wired mighty mouse with wireless

Bought a new card reader

Elevated monitors up a good 4" off the surface of the desk

Cleaned up my wiring - see here: www.flickr.com/photos/42736403@N08/6212851610/in/set-7215...
