corbin Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have never messed around in a mac before, but a computer guy told me that apple's os's are based off of the linux kernal! So it must be good, and that changed my perspective on macs.    Lots of bad things are based on good things.   Like errrr.... Ummm.... Just go with it!    Not bashing Mac, just trying to get all technical ;p.

emehrkay Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The monitor is 22 inch. I feel that it isnt huge enough. Well, I'd be fine with it if the resolution went higher, its at 1600 x 1050. Pretty soon Im going to get an Apple 30 incher. I know someone on phpfreaks has one and he said that he loves it  I dont know if you were asking for specs on my laptop or quoted the wrong person, but its a 2.2 core 2 duo with 4 gigs of ram geforce 8600/128mb ram Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128981-desktop-ss/page/4/#findComment-675370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stooney Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Looked bigger than 22' in the picture.   My goal is to hook a computer up to a 50+ inch LCD flatscreen mounted to a wall infront of my desk.  I have a friend that plays WoW on a 46" screen mounted on his wall with surround sound while sitting on a huge comfy sofa. Although I don't play WoW, I'm quite jealous.  Then again, I would prefer multiple 19-22" widescreen monitors. I already have 2 which I put code on one and the browser on the other (to test as I go). I want another to always be playing a movie (I have tons on my server), and another just to say I have another. Then 2 more. I find myself remote desktop'd into client's servers quite often so one dedicated to that would be beneficial too. I think the multiple smaller screens would be better over 1 larger for those reasons. Now if it were multiple 46" screens, that is altogether different.

Zane Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Looked bigger than 22' in the picture.   My goal is to hook a computer up to a 50+ inch LCD flatscreen mounted to a wall infront of my desk. That's always a fun setup, although it's better in a living room, sitting on a couch with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Sitting at a desk like 2 ft from a 52" inch screen is a lot of strain on your eyes. Even a 42".  But I had this particular kind of setup in my living room and all I did was watch movies all the time, youtube, netflix, and nearly more than half the time it was just pirated movies I tracked down. Totally different experience.
