Since "Part 3" is reaching a huge size (1,000+ posts), I figured I would be a nice idea to start a new thread.

Here is my setup:

20" iMac
8GB iPhone
1GB iPod Shuffle
8GB iPod Nano (2G)

[digitalnicotine]

Nice, clean setup. Love the dark wood desk.

Thanks! My wife actually found it at Target. It has been great so far....

That lamp looks very familiar....

I got that at the Christmas Tree Shop -- I think they are a Northeast homegoods chain.

No Ikea here!

This is what comes to mind when I see that lamp!:

Haha. Exactly what I was thinking.

[bluedoggiant]

wow!!! part 4! heres what ticks me off, a moderator stops the thread, and a normal user starts the new one, wonder how that works...same thing with part 3...

[SpookTheHamster]

I'm guessing the moderator splits the old thread, and moves the last post of it to the new one with a note at the top.

[ryannel2003]

Thought I should add my latest to the thread. Completely re-arranged my setup. Took the old hutch off (which was getting in my way) and just cleaned everything up. My new wireless keyboard is coming on Saturday, so it will look even cleaner than it is now. Enjoy! :)

It's looking very nice. The new keyboard will be perfect. Have you ever considered purchasing a frame for your poster? It's seen better days, and a nice frame with perhaps some matting could revive it nicely. Thanks for sharing your setup. :)

How is the desk arrangement in regards to the chair. I tried having my iMac at an angle but the desk was so restricint chair wish that I was basically sitting with my whole body twisted. Needless to say that didn't last long.

Nice clean setup.

I literally got the new apple wireless keyboard in the post today and at first I thought I had made a mistake as it seemed too small however after a couple of hours I really like the new style keyboard a lot. Although I also have a MB so I should be used to it.

I'd post my own picture but there is too much crap around my desk at the moment.

Yeah it is a gigantic difference. My mom would be on your side; she says it looks kinda bare and plain. But it was honestly getting in the way of the Airport, and the reception was constantly dropping out. Quite annoying when I'm trying to get school work done... ;)

Thanks! I'm definitely going to get a frame; I think the poster is 4 years old. It has been through moving and the painting of this room. I can't think of getting rid of it, I absolutely love the G35 coupe.

So far it's has been a little bit of a struggle to get used to it, but I think with the wireless keyboard it will be much better since I can prop my legs up on the desk and have the keyboard in my lap. I'm really looking forward to getting my keyboard, my mouse came today and so far I'm loving it. The heavier feeling of the BT Mighty Mouse is much nicer than the wired version.

Oh, I understand why you decided to change it. I'd much rather have reception and a restraint on my wireless signal.

Looks different. Maybe because this shot is up close and personal.

As it is at the moment, all furniture from IKEA:

As it was with my old iMac. This photo has over 10,000 views on Flickr for some very odd reason:
http://www.neilchristie.com/dump/ZZ0AD6FCDE.jpg

I still much, much prefer the looks of the old iMac. It's a much more considered design in my opinion and I think that the new one is just change for change's sake.

As you can see I've much improved the room by painting it! The entire length of my tiny bedroom is shown in the first picture.

After many a year of saving, my room is pretty well complete (not in debt with anything, and I paid for most things, entertainment unit was xmas/bday present). The only thing I'm thinking of getting is a Macbook Pro, but I will most probably use the money for starting investments and [finally] moving out.

I was wondering the same thing.... It's really gotten outta hand! However, I can appreciate that this 4th thread had links to the others in the first post.

Please everyone... can we just keep this thread going for a while?:confused:

[zosoaudo007]

Two of the new set up. Sexy MBP, 2.4GHz, C2D, with 4GB RAM, and about 2 TB of space. These Yamaha's are also killer.

The others are of the old set up with the old desk too.

Needless to say, the new setup makes it much more conducive to work. With much more ease too.

Read this

I've started splitting long threads (>1000-2000 posts) into "Part 2" threads. At the moment there's no hard/fast rule, but certainly perpetual threads will be split. Meanwhile, news threads that tend to have a self-imposed life span we'll let ride.

The reason is that threads this long may be contributing to database locks / stalls.

You mean as I did :p It was something I thought was needed now that we are on the fourth thread. Helps keep the history of the thread easy to trace.

The moderators will decide when to start a new thread and as someone has already said we will move some posts from the old thread into a new one, so it may appear that someone has created a new thread.

Huh? Why, and to whom are you saying that to?

Well since we're not allowed to quite pictures (a rule that clearly had little thought behind it) most will be confused when we ask questions or make remarks. That said, Reason (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_(program)) is a software program that someone had open on their screen.

It may make life easier if the mods to figure out a way to lock down this thread so you can only have photos. Photo.net has a "pictures only" thread that works well. You can write a caption but you can't respond to anything without posting a photo of your own.

[x&trick]

uumm what are all those boxes?

The base is 4 VCRs that my family was getting rid of, for when I invest in an analog converter; since VCR heads deteriorate, one doesn't rewind, etc. why not have backups?

Also pictuured: Netgear for wireless web, DVD player (cheap but plays AVI etc. of course, wish my friends' did), legacy scanner (I never did make the 8500 and its 4 or less GB external drives work after the 8500 crashed--maybe with the 7100 I got back from Mom someday), phone and answering machine at top, Bose and Epson Stylus 740 at botton, VHS rewinder mounted on wall at side with rabbit ears :eek: resting on them. Cable goes across the ceiling to the TV from the VCR. Defective CD on wall to remind myself to re-record it.

haha that is quite a nice collection of things, my rents would say that i should get rid of it cauz its just a bunch of crap... parents these days *seesh*.

those epson's are very very good quality printers, i had a 760 (which is actually a 740??), until it died :( very emotional time for me. got replaced by this massive HP thing...

like your colourful router, i just have the plain 3 white lights on my airport lol

Battery, HDD & RAM have been removed. Whoever did the deed didn't even bother removing the heat shield & just bent it open, but apart from that it looks pretty clean. I'll see if anybody around the department has a power supply & see if she breathes :)

Half of the frame is missing O_o (around the battery, etc)

My old setup the day I bought it, before I even had a desk.

Sorry for the blurry pic...I'll have to get a better one with my new setup.

Same computer, lots more "stuff" hooked up to it now though :)

Interesting. How did having the LCD above the PowerBook work for you? I've been on the fence about doing that for months.

In the last picture, what do you have your monitor mounted to? I have what looks like the same monitor, and find that very interesting.

Sweet thank you. This may be my new desk. If I can find a good temporary droor/cabinet setup to put under on one side that will be my desk :D

Thanks for the link!

[r00]

If you put the stand back off the desk and make the feet go under the desk and put the desk as far back as it can go, it pins the LCD stand and makes it sit flat on the desk.

As for the wallpaper (the orange one) I think you're talking about can be found at www.deviantart.com in Customization > Wallpapers > HDTV/Widescreen. You'll have to a little searching.

[vohdoun]

Bah, thats cheating! :p Which I'm afraid my desk isn't able to do it like that. I was hoping for a nice stand. :)

you know what I have noticed...it seems that the most popular computer is the laptop. I wonder why that is. I love my desktop one :( I have thought about that it would be nice to have a macbook once in awhile, but...eh, not really.

Why is the notebook the most popular?

[iMpathetic]

What is that keyboard? iMpathetic likie.

[NickD]

Why is the notebook the most popular?

Because they are dropping in price, have increasingly better specs, can power large external monitors as desktop replacements . . .

And they're portable :)

Wait, there wasn't one? Sorry...:p

http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-CA-3550WB-Speaker-System/dp/B0002F8ZGO

Those look like awesome speakers. I'm in the market for a good set right now. I ordered some Creature II's when I got my iMac and they were defective, so I sent 'em back to Amazon. My biggest annoyance with those speakers (other than the fact that one of the speakers didn't work) was that they didn't have a power button on the speakers. It was on the sub, so if you wanted to turn 'em off, you'd have to get down in the floor and hit the button on the sub. VERY annoying. It says these have desktop controls for volume, power, etc., but I didn't see 'em in the pics. Do you know if they have a remote or if the controls are on the speakers?

[Devie]

Like the set up. Very simple and non cluttered. Big gamer are you? lol. Glad you finally got it how you wanted it.

Thanks :).

Yeah love me gaming, but rather despise PC gaming... (obvious by the iMac I spose).
Just can't stand the whole; don't know if the game will run correctly, oh noes im using an ATi card instead of nVidia my game wont show textures right etc etc. Being a console gamer I find it far cheaper and easier.

Well you know how people said that the picture is "an older picture"? My theory is the picture was taken during their last quarterly "Oh crap my desk is dirty I need to clean it!" and then take a picture :)

My work desk is actually pretty clean, but only because most papers I throw in a file cabinet underneath it.

I actually unmodded my phone about a month ago, so I stopped updating my themes. I've been running it stock and waiting for SDK, so no new themes planned. And future apologies for any apps that don't have icons as I haven't updated it in a while =p

Agreed. it took about 8 months after the release 9f the iMac for iMac clones in candy colored plastic to come out...

First came the iMac.

http://guides.macrumors.com/images/5/54/Imac-1998.gif

eMachines, before being bought out by Gateway, produced the eOne, the iMac's bastard child.

http://lowendmac.com/imac/eoneleft.gif

Then, last year, from the dust of the eOne, the One was introduced. Apparently, the white Core 2 Duo iMac had twins, and they looked like...

http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/images/full_reviews/gateway/one/500/IMG_4351.JPG

JackArc, is that desk made of solid wood or is it particleboard/fibreboard? My current desk is made out of medium density fibreboard and it's sagging in the middle. I love that desk and might buy one in the near future but I'm definitely looking for solid wood this time around.

I'm gonna say it again, but don't put your accoustimass (shut up, i know, i spelled it wrong) on top, put it on the floor, it belongs there, and if possible, put it in a corner.

i would but there is no hole in the desk to run the wires down, and i dont want have wires running down the front of the desk.

Actually mostly use PS and aperture but I enjoy great sound :)

I can't stand the white color, it makes it look less professional IMHO. Black is a little rarer and more suave. :cool: What do you think about the whole white/black debate?

Well, doesnt matter, a family computer, mostly my moms, it sits in the kitchen, but i dont care:p, ive got my own powerhorse in my room for my video work, and my little photo, and music work. Its not insanely powerful, but i would say its the second most powerful in the mac lineup :P (MP first). I wanna see what they'll pull out on tueday.

As for the white/black, i would say black, and plus black matches the imac, but the white macbook as the nice smell!! the white looks like a toy, but is pretty, but then wait, and you'll want a blackbook, problem is the grease stuff.

How do you think he has his MBP connected to both monitors when it's obvious from the photos that there are no cables connected to the MBP?!

Well, how is the speed overall for you? My previous computer was a 2GHz Core Duo Thinkpad, and it's been great so far.

I can't stand the white color, it makes it look less professional IMHO. Black is a little rarer and more suave. :cool: What do you think about the whole white/black debate?

EDIT: Oh, and QCassidy, mine is used. Just FYI. I am not pissed about the updates!

My previous computer was a 2 ghz core duo macbook. It's white, and I do prefer the black.

Mine is a refurb - I bought it because of the updates. The price on refurbs dropped so much, and I don't see much difference between the machine I got and the new one, for $450 more.

It came without the leopard discs :( but I called, and they are sending me discs. And it did come with an extra gig of RAM! :D

That's nice:D

Loving mine so far, it boots from pressing the power button to fully functioning desktop with Airport connected and everything loaded in nineteen or twenty seconds- faster than a new Mac Pro. I may get another gig or three of RAM for it, seeing as it only has one now. Will it help me at all? I once ran with 1.5GB on a dual 800MHz Power Mac G4 under Leopard and it was buttery smooth. So, with the fast processor of the MacBook, even if I only do light Photoshop and Audacity stuff, will 2GB or 4GB of RAM be a good thing to get??

Well, everyone, I will post my setup on Tuesday evening. A black MacBook sitting on a shag rug isn't really much to look at. I can't wait to set it up once I get to my dad's house!

Last time I posted a pic of my setup, we were still on Part 1 of the thread. :rolleyes:

Here's my simple setup. Not much has changed. My exgf gave me this monitor today. That was nice of her.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v25/good_thing/macrumors/IMG_1057.jpg

2.33ghz MBP, MiniStack (kept it after I sold my Mini), 19" HP LCD, Creatures, USB Keyboard (I've still got my multicolored FCP BT Keyboard that got so many compliments in the old setup thread), and 8GB Nano.

Nice clean setup, and very well lit (or perhaps the light colored wall/wood make it appear as such). Thanks for sharing. :)

saxondale, I love the wood! It looks like a really cool room.

I didn't realise I was being 'snarky'. Some people are obviously way too easily offended.
I wasn't offended in the slightest. But, judging by the question, it seems readily apparent, to me at least, that the person didn't understand. And, instead of just simply answering with a real answer, you made a bunch of silly remarks. It wasn't me who might have been offended. But the person you were mocking, maybe.

Also, note that no one made any silly comments when you called it an "IBM tower" in your reply. Since when does IBM make towers anymore? And, when did they start making them with LED lights all over, and huge lighted fans? See, we could have just as easily done the same, and poked fun at you. But we didn't, because it is rude.

[ryannel2003]

Not much has changed since I last posted... I put the iMac were God intended it to be: right in front of me. Sideways is quite uncomfortable..

I also added a new member to the growing Apple family: an 8GB iPod Touch. Great little device, and I haven't hacked it yet. Most likely won't with SDK a week or so away.

Not a fan of Apple Mice and prefer Apple Pro Keyboard over new Alu. Apart from that, it's all good :)

Oh there's no wall mount, although I did think about a way of mounting across the corner to get to how it looks now. It's simply sat on a small riser with the MB screen hiding that and the ACD stand. I cheated :D

I guess technically it's not fully complete but it's getting there. My airport and router sit on a homemade shelf under my desk out of the way. A couple more pictures and another diploma to hang and it should be pretty complete aside from the wacom in the box I need to find a place for. I'm also digging on my new speakers.

Whatever it is, it looks great.

The sad part is, I did clean my desk before I took the picture. :o You should have seen what it looked like before.

The monitor definitely stays. I really dislike LCD's, plus I don't have the money for a new one.

The keyboard has been swapped out (With an older beige colored one, but at least this one works.) And I have a new mouse on order.

[Saikou]

Saikou, very nice. Is that one of those giant mousepads under your laptop?

Thanks man! I wish it was one of those giant mousepads, I've thought of ordering one before. It's just a normal table mat thing. I learned the hard way that I really don't like glass desks, they're too cold. I can't stand resting my hands on them, so I bought one of those black table mat things for desks. It makes it somewhat bearable.

Why do you dislike LCD, I wonder? They take too little space, the image is too crisp, they are too good for your eyes and they look too good? Hmm...

haha that is quite a nice collection of things, my rents would say that i should get rid of it cauz its just a bunch of crap... parents these days *seesh*.

those epson's are very very good quality printers, i had a 760 (which is actually a 740??), until it died :( very emotional time for me. got replaced by this massive HP thing...

like your colourful router, i just have the plain 3 white lights on my airport lol

It's the weekend again, I'm back. I don't blame you if you miss this reply so many pages later, but what the why not? Hope I catch any further ones.

My Inner Child's parent sez I should lighten up stuff too. I forgot to mention the dual audio deck, for which I just discovered neither side works (took it apart, didn't see any problems, each has its own motor but I saw a chip or board labeled as a controller for each. Good thing I have a fallback for digitizing my tapes (record player was off to the side, near the wall-mounted rewinder).

Just discovered after ordering ink that only the colour nozzles work--read since that Epson print heads jam. Since I don't expect my Umax scanner to work in OS X or classic or wanting to bother with the 8500 or 7100, guess I'll get a nice HP all in one.

it sounds to me like you really do have too much stuff :p. dual sided audio deck... hahaha well if you ever need the motor r something i spose it will come in handy. im kinda like that, i have a whole bunch of crap that "could be needed one day". best way to be prepared!!!

HP is getting pretty good these days, good balance of quality~price. i have the 2510 All-In-One thing (i think). works a treat wirelessly through my airport.

I have a load of them running here too (1 7970 and 2 7960"s and i did have an old 7940 but it fell off the wall and broke), throw that $10000 CallManager Server away and get an Intertex IX68 router for £150, plug the phones in and they work. Plus you can use other Voip providers too, although i'm only using them on a standard line at the moment.

No I've never had any issues. But I don't game on this machine. I watch movies, use photoshop, aperture, etc. But I don't think I'd notice any issues unless I tried to game. Maybe I'm wrong.
