QUOTE(MacDaNife @ Oct 23 2006, 02:47 PM) At present, no... Although the WorkRig is connected to a APC UPS system. Will probably get one for the MacPro too but need to do some research first on which one would be most appropriate. Have you any recommendations? i used the APC selector.. http://www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfmseems to be best performance would be this.. APC Smart-UPS XL 750VA USB & Serial 230V I think its probably abt 1k |

I figure I need UPS in order to be able to quickly save whatever I'm doing in event of a power outage. In addition the security of having the UPS take the hit should a voltage spike from Tenaga Nasional run through my house (don't laugh - it's happened to me before with expensive consequences to my miriad electronic devices). So I figure I don't need a UPS that would last me to restoration of power. It's not like I do anything irreplaceable with the Mac anyways. If I'm encoding video for example, I could always run the tape again.... I'll probably get something from APC in the RM200-300 range. That should be quite adequate. I'll post here should I get beyond the considering phase and into the purchase mode. |

But then again.. that's not much of an issue lar... "dirty startup" is not too bad... i work in aperture.. usually my "masters" are usually intact... irregardless what i do.. so its ok.. What i need is more of a voltage regulator... coz.. if i pay 200-300 for a UPS.. and if it only last me.. for 30s .. no point also.. lemme read more.. heh heh |

Basic ones are RAM, where per gig is about RM1000. My suggestion if u want it fast, try to avoid CTO, buy stock unit, then add the additional items separately (which u can get from VR also). The drawback is that those items are not covered by the apple care (if u wish to have..) This post has been edited by mohamadfazli: Oct 27 2006, 03:38 PM |

Always wanted to relearn the piano and fool around with GarageBand. Hence the M-Audio Keystation 49e. Excellent build quality. No drivers required. Just plug into the USB cable (no power required either). GarageBand is a whole lot of fun!   |

Bro, you bought the keyboard at EPI Centre@Orcahrd, Singapore?
Your setup looks the same with the Mac Pro display at the store, Apple CD and the keyboard...
Btw, your pianist?
