Long Overdue
Posted 9 months, 4 weeks ago in Blog | 0 comments so far

After 5 years of use, it was finally time to retire my ageing Core Duo MacBook and upgrade the home office setup.
Old setup:
Mid 2006 MacBook
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM
Intel GMA 950 Integrated Graphics
Dell 24″ 1920×1080 Monitor
JBL Creature II Speakers
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse
New setup:
Mid 2010 iMac
3.2GHz Intel Core i3
8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5670 Discrete Graphics
Built-in 27″ 2560×1440 Monitor
Built-in speakers
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse
External Drives:
1x LaCie 2TB USB 2.0 Neil Poulton HDD
1x Wester Digital 1TB FireWire 800 MyBook Studio Edition HDD
2x LaCie 500GB FireWire 800 Big Disk Extreme HDD
Other Crap:
Griffin Powermate
Apple iPhone 2G Dock
Apple Universal Dock
EPSON Stylus SX200 Printer/Scanner

As part of the upgrade, I also threw out four IKEA desks and replaced them with one much larger IKEA desk and a two-drawer filing cabinet. Things are now much neater and less cluttered, and productivity has skyrocketed!
