    When they say "make some noise" at the end... I really hope that's not the video card.

    IBM Replacing PCs With Macs Within The Company

    I was at the conference where they gave these numbers. The savings are for total cost of ownership. The impressive thing was being able to provision out of the box macs without anyone from IT touching them. Windows computers need to be imaged still. MS is working on cloud provisioning PCs, but...

    Should I upgrade my Imac RAM?

    Yes, upgrade the RAM! Hell I got two sticks of 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 from upgrading my macs to crazy amounts of ram that I can't give away. Or if you are like me, get four sticks of 4 GB for 16 GB of ram. Then look into putting an SSD in the system. Having done that work, replacing the HD is a pain...

    Very nice system. What is the case you are using? It's the only thing I didn't see in your list of parts. Thanks for the great build pics and progress.

    What do with a PPC Mac Mini

    I had a closet full of old computer parts thinking the same thing... I donated it all to a local non-profit group that teaches kids how to fix computers. If you don't use it for a year you'll never use it at all.

    Is updating older Macbook Pro to Lion worth it?

    I have the same MBP. I upgraded to Lion for the hell of it. I've not had many problems. If I were you I would upgrade to 8 gigs of ram. Why? It's so cheap and it is nice to have. If you want to go crazy, like me, get an SSD and put a bigger HD where your DVD is. Just need a caddy for the HD...

    World's Largest HDTV

    The aspect ratio is wrong. At 16:9 a 200' wide screen would need to be 112.5' tall, not 80'!

    iMac Superdrive

    Having replaced the optical drive in on of these imacs... don't. Just get an external USB DVD and call it good. It took me 30 minutes to even get the outer cover off and I work on repairing computers all day long. Apple made the imac to never be opened with out a workbench all the right tools.

    iMac purchase???

    I work with macs on a college and there is no worry about imac monitors. The best thing to do is get apple care. With any computer, chances of a component failure in four years is good. With apple care, they just fix it, and the cost of the mac care is well below the cost of repair. I crack...

    WoW flickering issue on 6970

    I don't have flickering in WOW with my 6970, but it does freeze when I alt-tab out. I alt-tab out and back in, and it works fine after that.

    Apple Magic Trackpad

    I was doubtful of the touchpad when I got my MBP. Once I had to use it because I had no mouse with me I found it to simply be the best thing. It is not like other track pads. The accuracy and responsiveness are second to none.

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I'm almost worried to mention this, but the airport extreme/time capsule does ip6 out of the box. The range on my time capsule is very nice and is able to keep connections up with even with some interference.
