Hi there, the reason I built it was because I can't afford a large size cintiq. Also tired waiting Apple to release a tablet (if they ever do).

Yeah, was collecting faulty mac and refurb them to improve my skill on modding, plus help on funding. But I have no intention to sell the iTab. Using it as my 2nd mac now. Love it.

Hi dinodog, I'm just a designer too, have no electronic/ soldering/ engineer background even can't tell which leg of a LED is negative before this. But making use of the internet really helps. eBay for parts, google for research, forum to get helps.

iTab is short for "Wei DIY Tablet".

Wuah... Z5500, my dream speaker set, hahaha.

Now I'm headache to get a cheap & nice & sturdy & huge table for my new "iRoom".

Does the cam works with your Mac?

8L@Z3, I like the way you post your setup!
Nice to see someone takes time to tidy up & compose his shots before posting.

Your wall catches my attention. Is it wall paper or painted?
Nice setup nonetheless.

My main workstation still on 10.4.11. Kinda lazy to upgrade to 10.5, but will do it once I obtain the latest retail box set 10.5.4.

Let's say one day someone hack iPhone OS too and anyone can install it with their Nokia or HTC. And they tell you that you paid too much for your iPhone and in the end it's just the OS. How do you feel then? I'm pretty sure you will tell them it's not just the OS that simple...

Looks like you can only add more RAM and upgrade OSX.

Hmm, waiting for the mysterious "brick" that's coming next month. Watch out for September 30th. I hope it will be a fusion of MacMini + AppleTV.

Here's my new room:

gengstapo, thanks man!

rx330, hahaha, it's out already, you missed the keynote?
just kidding.

Here's some shots on the wall:

tkh89, here's during night and the lamp turn on. I'm using the lowest power. There's 3 level to choose from. And I'm using a 100W bulb.


thanks dawn152.

I'm running 6GB at the moment added 5GB from the stock 1GB. Going to 10GB soon.
As long as the RAM matches the spec, it should works. I have mix of KVR and KTA RAM. It's very personal preferences on type of RAM. I would say go with your budget.

More than enough for my usage.

Watch Activity Monitor to see your Mac memory usage, if it have high page out, time for more RAM. Also watch which app is hogging your RAM.

Then revert to Tiger, no one force you to use Leopard. Or hopefully the next OS X will not have all these issues. I'm still happy with 10.4.11. Don't see a point to move on until my other apps demand it.

Now, we don't want to have another Vista vs Leopard thing again.
I have snow leopard beta, so far yet to see anything fancy. Still too early to tell.

eh. try loading ur app from floppy with OS7 la. that's real classic...
