Thanks a lot Doug and Gus. Very valuable suggestions.
I know, I know, I will have to deal with Photoshop sooner or later. I have a very old version (5.0 or something if I'm not mistaken), but haven't really used it. I was thinking of getting Photoshop Elements for Mac (since I still can't justify spending over 500 bucks on the full CS3 or something.. :P).
I do have Capture NX though, haven't really played with it, but I guess it has similar features...
As for Sunex Fisheye and rotator, I guess I feel like I'm kinda "cheating" because this kit really make it easy to create panorama. But I knew the minute I ordered them, it would be the best investment for me.. 
Thanks again for all suggestions. I got A LOT to learn!

I love the QTVR set. It's very neat to have a 360 degree pano within a building (or structure) that has some sort of "windows" so your view is not limited. It makes me feel like I really am inside the structure. Very neat!
But for the pictures, I think the sky is a little too blue. A little unnatural for my taste. But probably it's just my preference.
Thanks for sharing with us!

Wow.. another new thing I learned from this forum today: virtual tour. Mighty awesome! Just like one of those RPG video games! :P
Thanks for sharing it with us.
BTW, it might be a better idea if you an option to view "full frame" or not on each QTVR. I think you get them fuzzy because the actual pixel size is not good enough for full screen. Just my 2 cents..

Hello,
Not sure if you'd be interested but, I have a D70s put up on eBay instead. I know you wanted D40x, but just in case you're interested.
Just search my user name on eBay. I also have a Sigma Circular Fisheye listed for sale as well.
Thanks,
Resno

OMG.. this forum is REALLY awesome. Thank you so much!
Yes, I was just thinking about it last night, and of course, with 185 degree vertical fov (ahem.. this is what it's called, yes?) with my Sunex lens, the tripod lens is bound to appear. Best I can do is to minimize it. So I did decided to get a monopod. I have a rotator from Sunex, so I think it wouldn't be that different using it on a monopod as compared to on tripod. As for cloning/brusing it on Photoshop, I think that's a possibility too, because I remember that I can create layers of TIFF images with PTGUi so I can do that before alligning and creating the panorama. Although, I know that I don't have the patience to do that detail brushing and cloning work.. :P
I spent the whole night using both PTMac and PTGui and I decided to go with PTGui (I wished PTMac is as easy as PTGui, because it's cheaper.. . Oh boy.. what a very enjoyable moment to actually see the real panorama and QTVR that I created. It's really amazing what a newbie can do with it..
Well, again, thank you so much for the warm welcome. I will learn a lot from you guys.
Here are my first 2 panoramas: gallery.mac.com/re2st#100008
And the QTVR's:

Excuse my messy house... :P

Hi all,
I'm a TOTAL newbie, just fell in love with panorama after seeing some awesome QTVR's linked on Panoguide.
I just joined the forum 5 minutes ago (after searching all over the web and the forum for what I am going to ask).
I just got myself Sunex 6.5mm SuperFisheye along with the panoramic rotator. When I take pictures using my tripod, the legs always appear on them. Any suggestion/trick to avoid this? I was thinking of getting a monopod, but not sure if it's the best idea.
Thank you so much!
