For music production I'd be going for the M-Audios or similar monitor speakers. For mixing music you want speakers which give out a natural/flat sound which you won't get out of a standard 5.1 setup.

I'm having a tempromental problem on my laptop which I suspect is a fault with the motherboard or processor. I'm trying to replicate the issue. I decided I would try stress testing it with Prime 95 but when I run it it only seems to test 1 core. The screenshots below should explain the issue...

I have the Saitek Eclipse II. It's backlit and is a nice keyboard, though it doesn't have any macro keys, it has media controls though. I'd recommend it if your not after gaming macro keys.

It's entirely personal, you'll probably be able to do everything on the mac that you can on a PC (except gaming). Go to an Apple store or find someone you know with a mac and try one out and see if you like it or not.

The PowerEdges are servers. It'll be very noisy, use a hell of a lot of power and take ages to boot because of raid cards and stuff. It'll probably be too noisy for general use.

sounds like a motherboard, graphics card or power supply issue. Does your computer have onboard graphics or does it have a dedicated card?

exactly, it's not about how long it takes, it's about the end product!

I think I could put one together in 20 minutes, however if I wanted it done well I'd keep at it until I'm happy with the layout which could take a few hours (never timed myself doing it so I don't know!).

I've remembered what the Microsoft one's called! It's called Windows SteadyState and it seems pretty powerful.

true, but then again, that would be like Microsoft giving office away for free :D

They don't come with iWork as far as I'm aware, but neo office is open office for os x.

what sort of specs are going into that then?

What O/S are you planning on running on this. I've never looked into web servers but I'm guessing standard home Windows won't be up to it. Linux might be a good bet but then you won't be able to run windows apps.

You don't need a machine as powerful as a macbook pro for quake live and porn. I'm sure a white macbook will be able to run quake live at a high frame rate and should be pretty good at rendering porn too! :D

When I tried throwing a Molotov at her it set her on fire but she still pinned me down and started attacking me while on fire. So not only did I get the damage from her attack I also got the flame damage! Still, got the 'Burn the Witch' achievement though!

There's a Microsoft tool that does something like that. You have to set up another user account for it but it can put pretty heavy restrictions on it like disallowing right click or executables. It can also remove any changes - that'll do stuff like change backgrounds back or delete any saved...

Fair enough, is OS X more true to basic UNIX then? OS X is based on BSD, would that be more true to UNIX? If so maybe FreeBSD or OpenBSD would be better for the OP.

OS X uses HFS+ as it's file system which windows doesn't have a driver for - however you can install a free utility to look at the data from windows. It's called HFSexplorer. It can be found here. http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html EDIT: if it's the actual hard disk that's broken and...

But it still has the Unix base. I've looked at the actual contents of my OS X drive and it actually seems to hide loads of directories from you, it looked a lot like a Linux file system when browsing through it plugged into my windows machine.

Linux is as much Unix as OS X is. OS X is also a Unix-like system. But yes, you can do everything in the terminal in Linux.
