and I am after this one:

Image

dual 1,25 mHz, CD-DVD RW drive, latest OS9 bootable mac OS-X desktop.
Noisy, but I don't have any choice...

Since Apple announced the changeover to Intel (mac outside), the price of a used one has risened up to 1400,- EUR on ebay.de :eek:
A few weeks before this announcement a friend of mine bought one for 750,- EUR, imagine :sad:

I got an offer by email of 1000,- eur from someone who saw my wanted ad on a dutch used-mac site...I hope he will stay with this offer :wink:

Upgrading from my G4/733 (yes folks, works still great) this G4 dual 1.25 will be my transition to an Intel G5/OSX...who would buy a new mac today.
In the meantime CWA has a job to do...

Getting back to topic..

The first thing you have to remember in creating your dream studio is a soundproof environment. After creating a hermetically sealed room and lowering it into a vat of 'blue' water from a river (unless it's St. Patrick's Day and the factories have instead dyed it 'green') you will find it's a peaceful environment to lay down tracks, and with the addition of fish (also readily obtainable from any river) you soon realize the next drawback : water conducts sound. Okay, stage two, you fill the vat with low grade, light oil and add new 'robot' fish made of metal which can swim through the oil, and use the oil to power themselves, and they can clean up the real fish that can't swim around in oil. The cost of obtaining the necessary amount of oil needed is likely prohibitive, so the best bet is to locate a solar system around a G3 star with a very specific planetary arrangement : a planet composed of a lightweight oil (there must be one somewhere in the universe), which has a moon, also made of oil. The planet must be close enough to the sun to maintain the oil at room temperature, this will make environmental controls much easier to deal with. The room at the center can be fairly large, and due to the fact that the mass of the planet is above the ceiling, as well as under the floor, means you have effectively a three dimensional dyson 'sphere' (for the earth is hollow and i have touched the sky...) The moon, being much smaller, will heat up and cool down much quicker, in fact it will be boiling hot, ignitable (except there's no oxygen to burn on in space) during new moon, when it is closest to the sun. Full moon means it's far away from the sun and will be cooler. If you wished to send a craft to the moon when it's full and put fish, chicken, potatoes, zucchini, etc, it will be nicely deep fried in time for next full moon. The real picture is this : a father and son, boating on the surface of the planet, listening to the burbling sound of oil waves, look at the full moon, shining in glory on the planet. "Boy is the moon ever full, Dad!". "Yes, son, it's pretty near time to clean it".

hubird - wondered if you're planning to use the MDD w/ multiple Scope cards in it? I'm pretty sure you'd already know about the space limitation, but just thought I'd resurface that tidbit. :smile:

you can always mod the case... :wink:

not a problem to do some mods, but...
hm, if memory serves well, the problem was the supply box and the STDM cables.
The card's length wasn't the problem, as PCI specs are standard.
I have two Pulsars together with an output board.
I was able to put the connectors of the STDM cables in between the cards, so it would be a matter of millimeters/tenth inches if it doesn't work.
Damn, this could be a real bummer tho.

Reminds me of the most forward line ever directed my way -

Walking on campus w/ girl while it's raining and I'm holding the umbrella for the two of us; she says "I'm getting wet and I'm not even getting rained on..."

:grin:

I wonder what ever happened to her... :sad:
