Amazing Computer Setup

Friday, Jan. 20 2006 | Author: Griffith

I’ve seen some pretty amazing computer setups in my time, but I think this one beats them all.

Here’s the list of the things and descriptions taken from there:

12″ Powerbook 1.3Ghz 1 GB Ram 100GB HD.. fits in my camera bag
17″ Powerbook 1.67Ghz / 2GB Ram / 100GB HD. The one released right before the ones with the HD screens.
30″ Display on 17″ powerbook
Canon Xl1s MiniDV Cam
Dell 2.8Ghz P4 1GB Ram
Using MS RemoteDesktop this is cheaper and faster than VPC
This tiny display is actually a 23″ on a Mac Mini 1.42 Ghz with 1GB Ram/superdrive. This is my media server for all my music.
Bluetooth Mouse on WebObjects Mousepad.. Yes, I use WebObjects becuse I’m hardcore like that
40GB 4th Generation iPod. Old school black and white screen. (Had to cut corners somewhere)
Toshiba Tablet PC for a medical application I’m developing… yes, in WebObjects
30″ Display one on Dual 2.7Ghz G5 4 GB Ram Tons of storage
30″ Display two on Dual 2.7Ghz G5 4 GB Ram Tons of storage
Canon 20D with 70-200 IS L Lens
Canon 100-400 IS L Lens
Wacom Intuos3 Tablet

I was already pinched after this, so yes, it is real and sitting in a room that isn’t my own… sigh.

Kudos visualseed…

To convince myself the man is insane, I decided to look up a quick price check on some of the features he has. I’ve taken rough prices (in this quick n dirty search) in each case:

Apple 30″ cinema – 2,100 x 3 = 6,300
Apple 12″ Powerbook G4 – 936 x 1 = 1,100
Apple 17″ Powerbook 1,500 x 1 = 1,500
Apple 23″ Display 1.200 x 1 = 1,200
Canon Xl1s MiniDV 4000 x 1 = 4,000
Dell 2.8Ghz 450×1 = 450
Apple Mini 1.4Ghz 550 x 1 = 550
Toshiba Tablet PC 1,500 x 1 = 1,500
ipod 40GB – 300 x 1 = 300
Canon 20D – 1 x 1,000 = 1,000
70-200 IS L Lens – 1 x 1,300 = 1,300
Cannon 100-400 IS L Lens 1 x 1,600 = 1,600
Wacom Intuos3 Tablet – 300 x 1 = 300
Apple Dual 2.7 G5 – 2,700 x 1 = 2,700
===============================

Grand Total: $23,800

F*CK.

Very impressive to look at, but quite unpractical for a one user setup.
