Product Description
The Power Mac G5 is the world's fastest personal computer and the first with a 64-bit processor - which means it breaks the 4 gigabyte barrier and can use up to 8 gigabytes of main memory. The new G5 processor - available at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a new ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture featuring AGP 8X and PCI-X - makes the Power Mac G5 a breakthrough in desktop processing power.
Amazon.com Product Description
Benefiting from a truly impressive set of technological breakthroughs, Apple's new Power Mac G5 series is designed for discriminating individuals who simply won't settle for anything less than the very best. This model, the Power Mac G5 M9031LL/A, delivers many of the features of the stunning top-of-the-line dual-CPU Power Mac G5 M9032LL/A (hailed as the fastest personal computer ever released) but with reduced power and a more affordable price tag.
Driven by a 1.8 GHz Power PC G5 processor, 512 MB ultra-fast PC3200 DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to a gargantuan 8 GB!), and an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM video memory, the Power Mac G5 M9031LL/A certainly seems impressive. But those figures only begin to tell the story. For its latest series of high-end desktops, Apple teamed with IBM to redesign its leading edge CPU architecture. Accordingly, this system features two very important innovations -- an extremely fast 900 MHz frontside bus and the world's first 64-bit processor. These are critical advancements that not only boost the top-end speed but also prevent bottlenecks along the way.
Yet there's more than raw power lurking inside the Power Mac G5's futuristic anodized aluminum case. For starters, Apple has compartmentalized the unit into four independent sections to direct appropriate airflow to each key component. A total of nine fans work to keep things cool, yet all are extremely low-speed. Thusly the Power Mac G5 M9031LL/A runs three times quieter than the previous Power Mac G4 enclosure.
Apple has loaded the unit with data handling features, including a monstrous 160 GB 7200 RPM hard disk and a DVD-R/CD-RW combo drive (4X DVD write speed) through which you can archive information, play and burn audio CDs, enjoy the latest movies and record home videos. To help you transfer data to and from external peripherals such as optical drives and digital camcorders and cameras, the system also sports two high-speed FireWire 400 ports, one ultra-fast FireWire 800 port, three USB 2.0 ports and two USB 1.1 ports.
Other significant amenities include a convenient Apple Pro keyboard, an Apple Pro mouse, three available high-performance PCI-X slots for future expansion, and a broad array of multimedia and Internet software. Connectivity facilities include an integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port, a built-in 56K modem, and AirPort Extreme wireless support (with an AirPort Extreme card). Speakers and display are available separately.
Customer Reviews:
should come with a pack of cigarettes.......2004-07-26
Even if you don't smoke, you might want a "hit" after playing with this super-sonic speed demon. My boss ordered this computer as a "surprise" for me to replace my aging G4. If I had been let in on the surprise, I would have asked for a dual processor, but I'm not complaining.
If you've got the $, you'll want to get the dual processor, because all future OS X apps are moving in that direction - especially when Tiger (OS 10.4) debuts in Spring 2005.
Having a DVD-R and a CD-R that reads the 800MB CDs is sweet. The machine is relatively quiet and simply gorgeous to behold - a true example of industrial art.
The grille helps to circulate air to cool the hot CPU. The only 64 bit computer a mere mortal can afford at this time... Apple has once again raised the bar to previously unthinkable heights.
This is a machine that will still be a workhorse 5 years from now - you can't say that for any PC on the market. PCs are ready for the "old age home" by age 3 nowadays, but Macs keep truckin' on.
I still have an old G4 at home that is over 5 years old and I probably won't move on up to a G5 (or G6!) for another year or two - and that will be more for selfish reasons that true necessity.
A true plus is the addition of frontal ports which supplement the rear ports. How wonderful to have a headphone jack in the front! Hallelujah!
My less than perfect rating stems from no way to forceably eject a stuck CD. Older models let you use the old "paper clip" trick to eject a disk that wouldn't mount, but your only shot is to reboot while holding the mouse button down - and that won't always work - in which case you have to take the machine to an authorized Apple Technician.
The metallic door where the discs go in is super sexy, as is the whole machine.
The handles are a bit hard to hold comfortably - Apple should have included some plastic molded (and removable) handle cushins or something.
The case doesn't show scratches like plastic does and the screened Apple logo is so classy. All they need now are dual chrome exhaust pipes and a cup holder to make this baby drool worthy!
Softimage and other top companies drop mac os!.......2004-05-03
Aplle has lost both battle and the war to Linux and Windows!
Add $130 to your price..........2004-04-08
Note that this model ships with the 10.2 version of the OS rather than the latest (and much improved) 10.3 version. There's no upgrade. You'll probably want to buy the full version of the OS (retail $129).
Otherwise an impressive, quiet machine.
Outstanding performance with no compromises.......2004-03-15
I've been running my 1.8 Ghz G5 24/7 for about a month now. It serves as my primary work machine and as a database-driven webserver. It also serves as a wireless basestation, sharing it's ethernet connection to the net wirelessly. It has performed flawlessly and quickly since the beginning. I have only ever needed to restart it after updating system software.
I have 1.5 GB of RAM, which really opens the throttle. It is quiet, too, which makes working in the office a pleasure. You won't be disappointed.
The G5 does not support Virtual PC.......2004-02-13
The G5 does not support Virtual PC. If you want to run dual operating systems, do not buy this computer! I'm stuck running two computers now.

Customer Reviews:
Paperless.......2007-04-15
Pros: Price. Great design, I put it next to my 1717S which now looks like carved from wood next to this baby. Portrait capable, I don't think I saw anybody mention this here! This is may be the main reason for me to buy it, great for reading PDF full screen, no need to print or scroll! DVI!
Cons: Dithering! Very disappointing but this monitor offers 6 bits per color channel as opposed to 8, which therefore causes bad dithering, it somewhat reminds me of my old matrix printer. What is the point of the DVI in this case I really don't know! 1st I thought it was the XP color profile, but the I tried it under SuSe and the same story. Just got to let this one slide.
Other Thoughts: Great for casual use, somewhat old model, with one flaw and no dead pixels. Would not use it as primary monitor however, and wouldn't recommend it if not in a dual configuration.
Very Nice Monitor.......2005-12-28
This monitor has been great from the start. Colors are bright and vibrant, no ghosting, and a very even backlight dispersion. I only have one small quibble with this unit. First the touch sensitive adjustment buttons are out of sight and tightly spaced. This is a problem for my clumsy fingers which inevitably send things awry. I also wish that the rotation software wouldnt screw up some videogames. Instead of the game just starting normally, it would just boot to a black screen. Unistalling the Forte software fixed the problem, so I am blaming it. (I have an ATI X800 XT PE and latest drivers as much as possible)
Great monitor.......2005-10-26
I'm very happy with the monitor. The only thing is that the height could be more adjustable, but not a big deal. Definitely worth the price
forteManager software has issues.......2005-05-23
On the one hand-the monitor looks great, and 12ms is fast. And sure enough, the monitor autopivots. The forteManager color calibration software is easy to use to get the color and contrast right...BUT this software is apparently incompatible with the windows xp screen saver, pc dpms (power management) and NVidia desktop manager software. If u try to come back from your screen saver, you get the dreaded "Out of range error". So I called LG. They said that 1st of all LCDs dont need screen savers, cause they dont burn in and 2nd the monitor has its own power manager. So they said that i could turn off my screen saver and the pc power mgmt that turned off the monitor after 20 minutes. Sure enough they were right, by disabling all this, the monitor stopped hanging, and it powered down all on its own. The problem with that is that I liked my screen saver, screen savers have become more than preventing burn in, you put them up for example to cause a password screen to come up on re-entry. Also, I tried upgrading to forteManager 2.0 (1.01 came with the monitor) and when installed-it blasted all my sound card drivers, thankfully I had windows restore on. So I got the Samsung 711t (also from amazon) instead, and ill be writing a 4-star review on it.

SB-1, SMOOTH AND ELEGANT.......2004-08-10
I use a pair of NHT SB-1's in my 10'x12' den with a Polk PSW202 sub and a JVC 100w receiver/dvd combo. I have no rear or center speakers for now and I may never add them. This combination of speakers is just perfect for this sized room. The SB-1's offer smooth, clean response of the mids and highs (you will need a sub if they are your fronts) and their small size makes them easy to place. They offer detailed and sparkling reproduction of all kinds of jazz and classical music and the power of Metallica. For a small room, these are great speakers.

Fuser kit for Konica Minolta 3300.......2007-04-05
The fuser kit was ordered because of feed and jamming problems with our Konica Minolta 3300 laser printer. Going to their web site they described the problem and identified this kit as the solution even though it was well before its recommended replacemnt interval and yet it worked perfectly and solved the problem. The kit came with instructions printed on the box that were easy to follow and understand and the whole replacement process only took a few minutes! I would recommend this kit to anyone experiencing the same type of problem and also Amazon as they are safe and reliable and ship as promised!
Manufacturer part.......2007-04-02
This fuser kit is the original manufacturer's part, and comes sealed in its original box. It includes the fuser kit and three rollers for the main paper tray, which are supposed to be replaced when you replace the fuser kit. The kit itself is easy to install--just open up the compartment, push the slides up to unlock the old kit, pull the old kit out, drop the new one in, push the slides back down to lock it in place, and close the compartment back up.
While most people will probably need to replace the fuser kit when the old one reaches its life expectancy, I had to replace mine because the old one was causing paper jams. The new kit has completely solved that problem. If your Konica Minolta Magicolor 3300 printer needs a new fuser kit, this will certainly do the trick.

The Planet Waves Circuit Breaker plug has fail-safe operation to save your equipment from loud pops and squeals when you change guitars with a live amp. When the button is pushed, the cable shorts while remaining plugged into your guitar, making on-stage guitar changes a snap, and eliminating any chance of sound bursts. Once the cable is shorted, remove the cable from the guitar being used and plug the cable into the next instrument. Press the button again to re-activate the cable signal.
Customer Reviews:
very good cable overall.......2007-02-16
Although pricey, I find this a very low-noise, high quality cable. I like the break switch on the right angle connector, but the jury is still out on the durability of the switch There are two things that keep this cable from getting five starts.
1. The connectors are HUGE, and silvery-gray. I guess that makes it distinguishable ion the bottom of the bag though. I have one guitar with a recessed/angled cord jack, and this cable is too big to fit into it properly.
2. The cable itself is somewhat stiff. It's probably because it has better shielding properties, but it's more difficult to coil than my other Planet Waves cables.
Product Description
Samsung, an industry leader in plasma flat panel displays, offers the latest technology to you in the most convenient and stylish package to date. The 4th generation plasma panel combined with proprietary electronic chassis design, incorporating the latest DNIe picture enhancement circuitry, results in outstanding brightness, contrast and overall picture clarity. Everything you'll need in a high performance digital flat panel TV is here - a jack pack with the latest digital connectors, built-in dual NTSC tuner and a pedestal stand. Performance and convenience in a package that's less than 3.5" deep make the SP-P4251 the clear choice.
Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's fourth-generation plasma television, the 42-inch SP-P4251, uses the company's proprietary electronic chassis and its latest DNIe picture-enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and overall picture clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC--it's perfect for both. It comes with a pedestal stand and a pair of built-in NTSC tuners for split-screen and PIP viewing (small, large, double). Built-in analog tuners allow you to connect an analog RF signal cable or antenna directly to the set and watch standard-definition TV right out of the box.
With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the SP-P4251 is a mere 3.4 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.
The set boasts an incredible contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and a brightness rating of 1,000 cd/m2. With every scene, the picture is clear and vivid, capturing and revealing every detail, even in bright light. The set's picture-frame design is finished in luxurious aluminum and acrylic with contrasting tones of sliver and black. The use of these colors and materials help eliminate glare and facilitate comfortable viewing, freeing your eyes to focus only on the picture.
The set's panel construction is calibrated for better performance and greater durability than earlier plasma models--even surpassing the longevity of prior-generation CRT sets, offering a 50,000-hour panel life (viewing time under normal conditions, after which picture deterioration may occur).
Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) combines a Motion Optimizer, Contrast Enhancer, Detail Enhancer, and Color Optimizer to deliver a vivid, lifelike picture. With the Motion Optimizer, fast-moving images are rendered with more natural-looking motion, without blurring or noise. DNIe's Detail Enhancer analyzes video elements to produce sharper detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transition. The Color Optimizer gives colors lifelike realism while making whites more accurate and skin tones more natural. The Contrast Enhancer gives you deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites.
In addition to component (Y, Pb, Pr) inputs for an HD set-top box, PC, and DVD player, the set also offers an DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface) jack for the best possible resolution in a direct digital connection. In keeping with the slim profile of the Plasma TV, AV jacks are on the side so that, even after installation, peripherals such as video players, camcorders, and other AV equipment can be easily connected.
Built-in speakers powered by 12 watts per channel means your movies and TV programming will sound great even without a standalone multichannel surround system. Helping out in the surround-effect department, SRS TruSurround XT incorporates these features: TruSurround 6CH Surround Effect, TruBass Virtual Woofer Effect, Dialog Clarity Virtual Center Effect, and WOW Stereo Enhancement.
Wall mounting is optional using Samsung's WMN4240 wall-mount kit.
What's in the Box
TV, stand, remote control, remote batteries, an RF video cable, a user's manual, and a warranty card.

very nice looking (until you turn it on).......2005-05-18
love the style, the black bezel looks sharp, but even with dvi from my comcast hdtv box it still suffers from blochy shading effect especially in dark scenes and on flesh tones. Go to BB or CC and do the pepsi challange with the panasonic - im sorry to say but there really is a difference between samsungs 5 generation technology and panasonic's 7th! I've done sooooo much research im totally over this decision - i just want to sit down and be satisfied. trust me - ive been struggling with diff brands for 8 months - go with a panasonic, pioneer, sony or hitachi. if you are concerned about extended warranty - buy it with an amex - they double the coverage period on my new panasonic TH-42PD50U. ps - dtvcity com has it cheapest - good luck
A Great TV for the Price.......2005-01-14
Only TV I found with a 2 year warranty. I am very happy with mine. I love watching DVD's on mine. The colors are awesome and all my friends are jealous. Get this one....

POOR THING.......2004-11-20
JUST GO TO A STORE AND COMPARE THIS PLASMA WITH ANY OTHER (PANASONIC). LOOK FOR BLACK COLOR DIFFERENCES AND DETAILS VISIBLE AT SECOND PLANE OF PICTURE. LOOK AT PEOPLE FACES. FINALY TAKE REMOTE CONTROL AND USE "STILL" OPTION AND SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES.
CONCLUSION: STAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM IDEA OF BUYING THIS TV.

Very Fragile F-Pin connectors.......2003-05-31
Beware, the F-Pin connectors are very fragile. Even a small amount of tug applied to the connectors will pull it right off the cable. For the amount of money I spent on the Monster Video Cable, they should have been stronger. I picked a cheap length of cable at my local hardware store and the connectors were virtually indestructable. Monster Cable should manufacture a more robust product.
