AMV Editor Rigs Through The Ages

Postby Athena » Thu Apr 29, 2010 7:13 am

In honor of SQ's return, because she started the damn trend... So for the last several years, according to my researching, we have had a number of "post your rigs/AMV cribs" threads. Choose one picture from every major upgrade/change since you began editing (or began putting pictures of your rigs online) so that we can marvel at how far the hobby has come in terms of hardware over the last decade.

1998-1999:

Image

On the left is my purple 1998 VAIO 333MHz Celeron Minitower with 64MB of ram (Utena Story of a Girl was made on this, first with Ulead Media Studio in 1999, later revamped sorta in 2001 on the computer on the right), during college it ran a Red Hat Linux web server, and people could directly access my box via http at chibiusa.wox.org (chibiusa is the name of the computer) and download my vids, since at the time, broadband was so new, the college gave each ethernet plug an actual static ip.

The computer on the right would be Usagi, and it had at one point been a 1999 Compaq Presario, but was heavily frakensteined by the time this photo was taken. It was my main editing machine

They would both last until 2002 for other purposes. Servers mostly.

2000 (I'm the one pointing):

Image

Play trinity, proprietary system on WinNT. Linear A/B editing from svhs decks.

2001-2002:

Image

Sony Vaio FX series laptop. This is the laptop that made about half my 2001 videos. She was stolen in April 2003. Not 2002, as I originally posted (I found documentation). :down:

2003-2004:

I appear to have no pictures during these years. This was when I became a midshipman and had almost NO contact with the Org, and although I did have a self-built tower, I didn't use it for editing much. I think I made Minmay's a Bitch 1.0 on the computer. No pictures of it. At least, haven't found any.

2005:

Image

First year with the Mac Mini.

2006:

Image

2007:

Image

Moved to Korea. Bought a Samsung 22" SyncMaster.

2008:

Image

Fuck Korea. Immah moved to Japan. Also, Hotaru goes from running VistAIDS to Mac OSx86 10.5.2 Leopard.

2009:

Image

I know I said one, but I wanted to show the difference in the living room after I got the MacBook and the Apple Cinema Display, and later, when I got the Panasonic HDTV:

Image

2010:

Image

Now with more ram, more harddrive space, a firewire dock, and oh yeah, an iPad.

Fin.

Who actually keeps pictures of their old setups? I didn't even get a digital camera until 2007 :?

Nostalgia takes on many forms. Some odder than others. :uhoh:

Actually, I scoured all the previous threads for these picture (those that the links actually worked for). I did not have them "on hand."

Holy shibuya!!
Thats a sweet setup Kio
There is a problem with it though
It looks like you got too much KOR merchandise there
You might wanna consider giving some to me so you can have more room.
I would glady sacrifice my shelf space so you can lighten the load on yours :D

Ffffff....

XD

I feel loved.
For anyone looking:
2003(very first one) | 2005 (with links to a few other threads not made by me).

Uh, shit. I really don't have any pics either.
Just the ones that are in the one thread, really.

These are from 2005:

Image

This is from May 2009:
Image
(click for larger)

I'm not really sure what my computer setup was in between those times, but I'll assume it was similar to 2005.

This is my current laptop (I don't edit on it). As of March-ish 2010
THIS IMAGE WAS FOR A DIFFERENT WEBSITE AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE OF MY LAPTOP; DON'T JUDGE :uhoh:
Image
The actual image is from april 2010. So that's what I look like now I guess.

In 2005, my DVD collection was pretty paltry (Wow, that is very slim, actually). Now I have about 300+ legal DVDs (not all anime), 400+ if we start counting the DVDs that aren't legit (I'm slowly working on getting all legit DVDs).
I still have that shelf from the 2005 image, but my DVD cases take up most of it now, and they're not NEARLY as organized.
Ever since I want away to college in 2006ish, I started putting the DVDs in CD suitcases and shit, but I've kept the boxes because when I get a permanent home, eventually I'll go back to shelving them all and keeping them in the cases.

I'm in the Navy now and I don't have my permanent duty station yet. Right now I'm surviving on a Macbook and honestly it's lost it's luster (Even though I have the Adobe Production suite on it and working) so I'll probably move back to Windows once I'm able to get in a place where I can feasibly have a desktop and my dual monitor setup back...

Ur.... That's it I guess?

Erk. I meant as of November-ish 2009. That's around the time I got that laptop.
