Wow, I'm impressed!!!!!! Probably cost you a small fortune though!:D :rolleyes: Probably worth every penny!

I'm not sure what games support it, but Unreal Tournament 2003 would be rad on that. Then the ability to hook my Mac Ti laptop into one panel and TV tuner into the other wing with a regular windows desktop in the middle would be fantastic.

I really didn't need to know about this as it'll just make me depressed. I don't know what the price is, but I'm SURE I can't afford it.

all three panels ae designed to act as ne large monitor, or 3 seperate monitors for one computer you can't do 3 differnt sources...say 3 different computers although you can run a different program in each. It's basicaly a 3 monitor setup that can act as one. That helps me greatly doing projects in Bryce5 and Lightwave. The price is just over the 5 digit mark. It will be strapped onto my dual 1.25 G4s Powermac with 2 gigs of ram and 4 65 gig harddrives
 
My boss is a Machead. He was the first guy I knew to own a 20" monitor. I think he spends too much on his computers. Our sales organisation could run well on much less elxpensive PCs. I guess it's cool that as a result of catching his crumbs there's a G4 Ti 500 in my laptop case. It seems to do all I need from a laptop. I'm still not convinced that it's twice as fast as my sluggardly old P4 1.7 with a half gig of PC2700 ram and a G4 Ti 4400 video card.

While I'll concede that your rig is faster than mine, Apple really needs to open up the memory bottleneck (they've just started on DDR memory) and start equipping their boxes with a really modern video card solution as the default if they truly want their OS to be judged on it's merits alone. They need to stop handicapping their hardware and overcharging for it (IMHO).

I'll admit that it's cool to have the Ti 500 which will run all Mac apps and through Virtual PC, most windows apps. So far there really aren't that many Mac only apps (that I've found) and a $1500.00 Toshiba would run all the windows apps much faster in a native windows environment.

By the way, while my boss is rocking with his dual 800mhz G4 and 20" old Nokia, my P4 1.7 hooked up to a better looking 20" Sony seems to rock pretty well for most everything I do (although it might not Gaussian Blur as well in photoshop as his DP rig) and cost me over 50% less!

I guess I just have a hard time buying into the Apple view of how hardware should be configured (and charged for). I'm sure your rig rocks (at least if it's running 10.2, because god knows X as originally delivered was not nearly ready for prime time). You can rest assured that I'm drooling over your monitor even if it won't support three sources.

Actually, MP, you can do 3 sources. I've seen the monitors in use, and they had a mac on one panel, a PC on the center, and a TV tuner on the 3rd. Each panel has separate inputs for DVI, S-Video, RCA video, and a standard DB15 analog. There are three 4 way switches on the base of the monitor you use to select between sources for each monitor.

Having the full desktop spanning all 3 screens is set on the computer, just like setting up normal multimonitor support.

Everybody,

The default language on this forum is English. Thank you.

I did not know the panoram system was available for public purchase. MP, who did you order from? It has been a while but I saw one demo'ed for "government purposes" and they sold for over ten grand.

I would sure love to load a driving simulator up and use one of these suckers. where do I line up to buy one?????

The Panoram PV290 DSK is compatible with nearly all computing platforms including Apple Mac OS, HP, SGI, Sun and Windows/NT. "

Edited to fix my spelling and add that I want one too!!!
 
It's called Need For Speed Hot Pursuit2. You'd like it Ira, you can be the chasee, or you can be the cop with specially modified, spike strip dispenser equipped, worked over Corvettes and other exotic cars (Police Porsches?).

If one of those monitors fell in my lap, it'd be enough to make me finally get a steering wheel/pedals setup and finally ditch my joystick.

Are we doing a pass around on one of these thnigs?
