why do you need two dvd burners? :) Nice setup, where are you working?

Pedrith posted Wed, 01 February 2006 at 8:58 PM

That is sweet. Where do you work? Do they need a Library technician? I wonder if I can con the school board into getting me one of those for our crappy library software :)

Fantastic! I hope tho that you aren't neglecting your studies? This is said in a very motherly way, with a stern look. We so have to talk soon. I'm so happy this job thing is going well. Hugs

Intellimouse 4.0 with USB interface. :-) So they went for Alienware, huh? When will you get another Opteron? IINW, that motherboard supports two.

2 dvd burners.... well, that's so we can burn 2 dvd's at once ;) I work at TSAP, but I'm being paid by Usendes. TSAP is sponsoring me and a friend so we can set up our office at the TSAP office in amsterdam so we can start an internet development studio/3d animation studio. We're basically hoping it will grow to be a new successfull business. So far it's looking great. In return for the sponsoring with office equipment, software and hardware we build a large automated administration system for TSAP. Oh and I'm not neglecting my schoolwork ;) My boss says it's of great importance that I finish my study succesfully ;)

Work isn't fun. There I said it. The only thing worse than having to work, is not having any work at all.

Nice rig Rayraz... but.... but..... " Monitor: (None) " ?????? You'll never be able to see what you are doing on that fancy machine. lol

madmax_br5 posted Thu, 02 February 2006 at 10:22 AM

Holy crap they markup the price so much for that in the UK!!!! In the US it's only 2500 dollars that's only like 1300 pounds...jeez. Plus if you can get an educational discount it's $2300 which puts it on-par with dell's 30-incher, and IMO the apple is designed much better (the apple is about an inch thick, only one cable runs from it, and the dell it like 4 inches thick, and you have to run tons of separate cables. But they have the same panel so they will look exactly the same. You could even run two of them off that quadro :-)

"Whats TSAP?" It's our client/investor. It's a security company. "Monitor: (None) you should think about getting one of those at some point.lol" Are the 2 23inch apple cinema displays we ordered from another supplier good enough? ;) "one of those nice apple cinema jobbies would suit :) " You are a psychic!
