So i got this wicked idea last week already, to finally buy an iMac.
had a price made for me (employees benefit) and upon asking permission it was denied because the rule is “one mac per 6 months”. And i had bought a MacBook Pro like last month or so.
Bummer!
Then the new iMacs came along and all old models dropped in price. So i bought one of the older models for the reduced price and still got it cheap then
woohoo!
So behold! I now have 3 mac’s!
To still achieve the whole games thing i hesitantly installed Windows XP on it also. It took me about an hour to decide wether i would install Windows or buy Mac versions of the games. Turns out there are some limitations to some mac versions and they’re quite expensive and Counter-Strike Source isn’t for the mac.
I felt so sad…. So Windows it is..

Next i set up my USB soundcard with the iMac. This turned out surprisingly well! Its a Creative Audigy 2 NX for 5.1/7.1 sound. It’s a neat device! But has no support and love for the mac. However, Apple created a built-in driver and everything except for the volume dial and CMSS sound enhancer on the soundcard it works just fine. So voila! 5.1 via my home theater amplifier from Sony. And iTunes equalizer compensates neatly for the missing CMSS. All is well! yay!
