My first mac experiance

[r44b]

Well for at least the last six months Ive been working my way toward a mac and on the 26th of february eventually decided on a new Mac Pro. I didn't expect it until next week however at 9am this morning a nice man from TNT was on my doorstep with some rather large boxes for me!

Ive read endless pages of text,comments and reviews about how easy they are to setup and use but was still a little skeptical....until today that is.
Literally 5 minutes and it was up and running, no problems, so smooth, quiet, fast, well built and tbh just an absolute dream to use. I'm honestly just inspired to work with it.

I don't think I'm going to stop grinning for years

Maybe ill post some pics soon

The spec is standard 2.8x8, 2GB's RAM (soon to be 6-8), 8800GT, 320GB HDD (soon to be vastly increased )

My 24" Dell looks like its shrunk after sitting in front of these two beasts for the last 6 hours

Some pic's from earlier today, just before the shock wore off and the excitement began :O I think I almost broke my back after lifting it all out of the boxes. I really didnt expect the weight, especially of the Mac Pro.

Would just like to add that the keyboard is verrrrry nice, its 1/3rd of the size of my razor gaming keyboard and i thought it would take ages to get used to the small size but it feels so natural after such a short time. Awesome.

Get a proper mouse, please.

Logitec MX revolution on its way ^_^

mate that is just a spectacular setup! Enjoy! What kind of usage will you be doing if you don't mind me asking? I am guessing lots of photo or video or graphics stuff!

Its going to be put to work doing lots of 3D work, photography, graphic design, web design/development etc. Pretty much anything you can think of

Thanks for all the comments ^^ I'll try and post some more of my views/experiences/pictures as I use it more

@ r44b.. What speakers are you using? There's none in the pics.

Right now i have no speakers for it, however i was considering some Logitec Z10's since they look quite nice. I haven't made any firm choices yet though. Any recommendations?

You gotta love the setup. But man spend some money on a nice desk for them babies and a decent phone man!

New desk in a new room coming soon, its sitting in my dining room at the moment on a 10 year old PC desk with a phone thats tinged yellow from sitting in the sun to long

I'll get a pick up in the future once its all sorted in its nice new home
