What's your computer set up look like?

I used that same Logitech keyboard for years -- just replaced it with a Cyborg. I liked it, except the keys started rubbing off pretty early. Same for you?

Yep, they rub off (not that I look at the keys often). I have had to replace it twice over the years due to a sticky key here or there, but not big deal. Good keyboard overall for the use it gets, and as a programmer, I've written all sorts of neat applets to utilize the LCD on the keyboard in my workflow. The 18 macro keys come in handy as well.
 
Ok, I'll bite but sorry for the dark pictures:

LOl, haters..... j/k

yeah there's too many laptops but it's for a good purpose. My kids are so computer savvy because they each have their own laptop. :)

Avid Adrenaline HD with Genarts Spahhire, BCC and After Effects. Added a sony NTSC componant monitor for me, along with external scopes (because all avids still require them lol) and a 42" plasma for da client.

That little TV on the bottom right. A lot of setups have those. Whats it for?
 
They're (generally) NTSC color-accurate broadcast quality monitors, used for color-correction and video level monitoring. The short answer is they show you what your project is actually going to look like when it gets broadcast. (Those working for DVD or web usually don't have/need these monitors.)

I though I had posted this earlier in the thread, but I guess not. It's my Amiga 3000 running on an LCD. :)

Sweet! I miss my Amiga 2000 with my Toaster. Too bad I had to sell it to get my FCP 1.0 system ;-)

Amigas were cool, funky computers. Talk about feeling like you were a member of a cult, the whole Amiga thing was like a secret club.

I let my heavily-modified Amiga 4000 go, about three years back. The time had finally come; sold it off to a hobbyist to raise $$$ for the DVX.

Truer for the web; not as much for DVD, because most DVDs are going to be played on a TV, and you need to make sure you've got an accurate picture of how it's going to look even if you don't have to worry about broadcast standards.
 
True dat, DJ. Coming from a broadcast background, I tend to only remember the horror stories of networks kicking stuff back. But even on DVD, it's good to have an accurate color monitor.

Yeah, you sort of have to know what you're doing to use them. I'd bought an A2065 network card a while back only to find out that it's 10base2 / 10base5 and not Ethernet. I finally got around to buying a transceiver just now so that I can hook it up to my Ethernet network. I'll finally be able to get online with the Amiga, once I install a TCP/IP stack... I'll have to figure out how to do that... :huh:

I also want to install a CD drive. I wonder if I can get a burner...

The 4000s were nice. Was yours a 4000T or the regular 4000?

Standard 4000 with a bunch of home modifications, mostly in the power harness. The factory wiring and power supplies just stank, in the 4000 series.

If it's got HDMI in, you should try that.
