Hi Everyone, I picked up an Avid Meridien BOB today at my local university surplus. It was cheap enough and came with some useful cables so I thought I'd buy now and ask questions later. My question, can I do anything fun with it if I buy the Avid Meridien cardset to go with it or is software...

Yes, I agree that for production, a Quad G5 would not be my first pick. That's why I have a Mac Pro (and a small heard of PCs, etc). However, I think the majority of us, at some level, have certain systems that we have always wanted and would love to add to our collection for purposes of...

Hey Everyone, Not sure if anyone saw this but on geeks.com, they are selling refurbished quad-core G5 powermacs for $379. I have ordered from them before and have always been happy. Plus, getting this particular model with some semblance of a warranty is appealing to me. What do you guys think...

Thanks Temetka Yeah, I'd probably be interested in unloading one of the iPaqs...they came without hard drives or ram but I got some nice 256 mg DIMMs out of a dead compaq server that came with the ipaqs so we'll see. Shoot me an offer if you are interested. Let me know if there is anything you...

Just picked three of these little guys up. These were Larry Ellison's love children a few years back - a low cost (<200) computer that would take users to the internet via Netscape. They booted off a supplied Linux CD with a severly crippled disto with basically only internet capabilities...

Hey - I kinda lurk here but I am an actual member. I'm the guy that has the AWS...it is a 500/132. I bought it from the Kiwanis Garage Sale in Ann Arbor a couple years back and supposedly it came from a local business. All the drives were pulled, sadly, but we jerry-rigged a 2 gig hot-swap SCSI...
