Your DREAM setup

[yoyo5280]

What is your dream setup? Post piccys please!

Mine coming soon!

[iBookG4user]

I have mine, really. MacBook Pro with lots of RAM, Logitech VX Revolution, decent monitor, 1TB of external hard drives, and good sounding speakers.

[Markleshark]

I dont know what mine is.

At the moment, I'm saving indefinitely for a new Mac, but I don't want one of the current line up. Guess we'll have to see what Sir Steve gives us in the next year.

[itsallinurhead]

I have mine.

MBP 15"
Mac Pro
Dual 23" ACD
Mac Mini
FX 6021
OWC Mecury Elite External HDs

[tominated]

I'd love a base Mac Pro with 8gb ram with a pair of nvidia 9800gx2's, a 30" cinema display and a macbook air.

Pretty nice!! but i don't like the keyboard and mouse, they look to pc-like..

[iBlue]

because liking macs must mean you should hate all things PC-ish, even if they'd otherwise be cool. right?

[lofight]

no, because they look like the regular mouse and keyboard you get with a pc.. If there was a keyboard for pc that i like i wouldn't say this. Like the optimus maximus (i know it's also avaible for mac).

The photo didn't remind of it :p And how much I love the optimus maximus, i still find it's too bulky, and prefer the apple keyboard :D

[richard.mac]

how can you post a pic of your dream setup!? unless you post a pic of someone else's setup

mine would be

- Mac Pro, 3.2GHz, 1TB of disk space (2x 500GB 7200rpm HDDs), 8GB of RAM, 8800 GT, RAID card, dual optical drives, dual 23" ACDs, Aperture
- Logitech G51 5.1 speakers
- Final Cut Studio
- Logic Studio
- 1TB Mercury Elite Pro

TOTAL - US$11682

[iMpathetic]

I'd love a 2.4GHz 15" MBP with 4GB RAM and no iSight.

Also, an iPhone.

And an Air to swat people over the head with.

And a 23" ACD.

And a computer exactly like Lord Blackadder's.

[alFR]

this should do:

I love how it proudly highlights the "free shipping". For 19K I'd expect dancing girls as well. :)

[rogersmj]

I believe my dream setup would be similar to this:

http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/21063/office_small.jpg (http://gadgets.qj.net/Wall-O-Monitors-project-twelve-30-inch-flatscreens-mounted/pg/49/aid/21281)

Five 30" ACDs on his desk, and 12 30" Dells on the wall. Of course he's running Windows on everything, which is lame...I'd have to have the uber Mac-Pro at the desk.

[Cloudsurfer]

My dream setup would be a 24" iMac at home all specced out and an Air on the road, with the SSD.

[UMHurricanes34]

I'm starting to place some of my income aside to build up a nice budget to get my dream setup.

Current setup is 24" Al iMac base with 4GB ram, and a PB G4 on the road.

By the end of the year my setup will be Mac Pro 3.0Ghz, 4-8GB, 1TB in one HDD sled, with backups in the others that will come later, NVIDIA 8800GT, and, to start out, 1 30" ACD, which will be accompanied by another in the future.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2297/2363272393_212997ae6e_o.png

The RAM upgrade will come after purchase.

Then for the road I'm looking at a 1.8 MBA without the SSD, no use - too expensive for such a non-powerhouse-of-a-computer.

[Zwhaler]

I swear I just posted my dream setup in another dream setup thread, but here we go :o

iMac 24" with everything top notch. (But with a REAL GPU)
MacBook Air (1.8 SSD model)
iPhone 3G 16GB

[hwojtek]

13.1" MacBook Pro 4GB/200GB@7200rpm/6h battery life capable of driving 30" ACD. That's well enough for me.

[Adokimus]

You could save money on your dream system by making a few compromises. Instead of ordering iWork, try using neo office, which is a free office suite. That should bring the price down to a more reasonable level.

;);):D

But Neo office is so slow (probably not on that machine)
And do not understand me wrong, i'm not going to buy this.

[sycho]

this should do:

Couldn't splurge and get Aperture 2, could you? :P

[Killyp]

A 20" iMac will do me, I don't mind which one (although the higher spec one is preferable).

I just love that machine to bits, and having used Logic on my friend's 24" WhiMac the other day, I want a desktop more than anything at the moment...

[lofight]

Couldn't splurge and get Aperture 2, could you? :P

:p i took that pic a while agon, when aperture 2 wasn't out yet. I wanted to see how far i could go with customizing the mac pro with some software :p

that is a veryyy nice setup...that would be my dream setup also

[Mord]

My g4 cube still is and probably will be for a fair while, it's pretty and it does for most things.

[pagansoul]

I waited years to get my MacPro. Now it's on its second year and the only thing I need is more HD. I originally put in 4x500 and now that SATA 1TB are now getting cheap, soon I will have 4TB machine. I find my 2.6 quad processors, 5GB ram good enough for anything I throw at it. I went from a 20" monitor to using a 27" HDTV which I don't think I will need to change for a long time. For 'on-the-go' I have my black Macbook.

[Schnebar]

I would go to the apple online store and click on Mac Pro.

Then max out everything and get all the most expensive options.

I am going to do this some time in my life.

[Adokimus]

But Neo office is so slow (probably not on that machine)
And do not understand me wrong, i'm not going to buy this.

You kind of missed my joke... my suggestion to bring costs down to a "more reasonable" price point was to subtract the $79 iWork from a $19,590 machine. The newer, "reasonable" price then being $19,511. :)

That would be kind of silly. Some things are better installed on your own for one, like RAM. And a lot of other upgrades aren't really cost effective in my opinion, that is to say they provide very little bang for a lot of additional buck. Plus, you'll be really bummed when intel comes out with a better machine in 3 months.

Doesnt matter what Intel does.


Apple is at the head of this train and they're never in any rush.

[amik]

My new Mac Pro is pretty close to my dream machine. I posted a picture in the setups thread here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=5210638&postcount=1014)

2.8ghz Octo
10gb ram
3*750gb Samsung F1 + the stock 320gb Barracuda +OWC 1TB external for time machine
8800gt
HP LP3065
MX Revolution

Once I get a decent desk and hook it up to all of my audio equipment I'll be almost to a "dream" setup. Although another LP3065 wouldn't a bad thing.

no,no i got the joke, really.

[mperkins37]

Here it is My Dream Setup (Except for the Desk & Chairs)
Got the ACD 30" Yesterday!:D

[Killyp]

You have your turntable on top of a subwoofer? :eek:

[psychofreak]

If I stay in my very small flat:
Macbook Pro 17" for lounging around with, 2.6GHz
Macbook Air for school, 1.8/64
Time Capsule

If I moved to a big house:
24" iMac for my room
Macbook Pro 17" for lounging around with, 2.6GHz
Macbook Air for school, 1.8/64
Time Capsule
Airport Express(es)

And you have your subwoofer on top of a filing cabinet? :eek:

[mperkins37]

Yes the turntable is STORED on top of the SubWoofer, it's not hooked up @ this point.
The subwoofer is only temporarily on the filing cabinet as I anm trying to figure out the best location for it.

[supercooled]

Five 30" ACDs on his desk, and 12 30" Dells on the wall. Of course he's running Windows on everything, which is lame...I'd have to have the uber Mac-Pro at the desk.

That guy's wall display is completely impractical.

My dream setup would probably be another 30" (2x30") and a decked out Xserve Raid.

[rogersmj]

That guy's wall display is completely impractical.

Which is why it's a dream :) I'm sure I could find SOME use for a video wall. Although a high-res projector would be better. Really, I was referring to the 5x30" ACDs.

[Mikey-]

3 dual 30" Cinema Display screens would do me fine :)

[7on]

This is a quick sketch

Basically a smartphone as the "CPU/RAM/HDD" and you use as a phone, then you can dock it into a hub that has a monitor and kb/mouse.

I did think of BT, but I would rather have the battery-free wired ones :p

EDIT: Maybe not the CPU, depending on how scalable future CPUs are... but this would be really functional only if it were popular where every library/house/restaurant would have this thus eliminating the need to bring a laptop anywhere.

[phungy]

I've yet to see someone with this setup but it'd be a maxed out Mac Pro powering 8-30" ACDs :D

[Rhosfelt]

I'm almost there; my blackbook is waiting for me at home. (2.4 2GB of ram 250GB HD)

This summer if I sell my iMac I will be getting a 24" 2.4ghz Peryn iMac with 4GB of ram and a 250GB HD, or I will just bump up my current iMac to 4GB.

They look like they would be in perfect harmony with each other :)

What does someone actually do with such an arrangement?
I have 1 ACD 30" and it's a monster! I can see the practicability of 2, Maybe 3 for Final Cut Pro or Locic Pro. What do you do with 8 of them, besides spend a lot of money.

[iChrisG]

Well lets see...

I would get:

2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo 1 GB 120 GB - MacMini (Also Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse included)

I have a question about desks. My setup is nice, but my DREAM setup would require a different desk to enable it.

Basically, what I want is a solid wood desk with a flat top to which I could attach a clamp-on VESA arm for a 24" LCD and a clamp-on architect's lamp. I want it to be solid wood so that I can build and attach a box on the side to put my MBP in and still have the cables be accessible. I need the top surface to be 30" x 60", and I need a keyboard shelf. Drawers would be nice, but not necessary.

The trouble is that I can't find anything like this on the Interwebs. It increasingly looks as though I would have to build it myself. It's not THAT daunting of a task, except that I haven't really got appropriate tools. I've seen some desks that would be pretty nice except that they have a back beneath the top surface (the kind that you would kick while sitting at the desk) so I wouldn't be able to clamp a VESA arm/lamp to them. I suppose that if nothing else, I could carve a spot out of the back panel for the clamps to go in, but that doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Has anybody got any thoughts for a desk that would suit?

[ReanimationLP]

I'd probably build one immense gaming PC with a Core 2 Quad,8 GB of DDR2, and Dual 9800GX2s, get me a 30" display, and a crapton of games.

Oh, and a MBP thats maxed out to replace my Dell.

[Chromako]

At the risk of being too philosophical, a completely immersive computational experience, as in, a direct brain interface as seen often in sci-fi would be quite awesome... I'll take one of those, please! =p

[Melrose]

New Mac Pro, Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core) - somewheres around 1TB in each drive bay, blah blah.

That'd be overkill for a web designer, though, right?

[DJMastaWes]

Laptop:
15" 2.6GHz MacBook Pro with 4GBs of RAM, 250GB HD.

Desktop:
30" Apple Cinema Display
Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro with 8GBs of RAM, 1,000GB HD with 4 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB.

Other:
16GB iPhone
Apple Wireless Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard

It's a little overkill. I do some graphic/web work and this setup would be a dream to work with.

[iBookG4 FTW]

A 17" (I hate screens larger then 17") iMac, with a 2.7 GHz G6 (:p)processor, 6 GB RAM, 750 GB HDD, and of course, the aluminum Apple keyboard.

Ahhhhhh.

But you know, being realistic, a MBA with a built in Combo Drive.

Unless we're actually dreaming for currently existing Apple products, in which case I guess I'll have top of the line MBA, a top of the line Mac mini, and and top of the line iPhone. That would satisfy me perfectly.

EDIT: Oh right, pictures. :P

with 4 gb ram
wester digital scorpio 320 GB, 3 Gb/s, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM

and photoshop
i used to have it when it was not as expensive ie a really old version, and i miss it

[viniciusc]

Hm, I don't dream a maxed-out Mac Pro because I just don't need it, I might be more comfortable with somethings smaller, simpler and with good performance, something similar to a top-of-the-line iMac. :D
I also really love Dell displays, I would have a second 24" display for the iMac. A logitech wireless keyboard + mouse + headphones kit would be nice too. (I like logitech, too bad their stuff is expensive)
For the laptop, a simple white macbook (though I prefer aluminum-styled Apple laptops, the Pro is too heavy and the Air, well, not for me).
Of course, all connected via an Airport Extreme with a good printer.

[macEfan]

I wish i was able to have...

loaded powerbook g3 pismo

1ghz g4 processor (these were RARE upgrades...only a few made)
1gb PC 133 ram
160gb hard drive
2x batteries
160gb 7200rpm hard drive for media bay
belkin wireless G card
usb 2.0 card
DL superdrive w/ lightscribe
Mac OS 10.5

This would end up costing more than a new macbook :D

well my realistic dream setup wouldn't be my dream setup would it?

ya i have my dream setup right now except for a nicer 2nd monitor and i need my stereo fixed it has so much reverb or noise when nothing is being played, i think i need a bigger amp

the amp came with 2 speakers
i now have 8
so a better monitor and an amp (with a woofer or a separate one)


anyone know where i can get an amp like that?

[Bwa]

My dream set-up is more focused on the monitor configuration and the desk/chair than the computer itself. My computer right now is a Mac Pro 8x2.8 with 12 GB, 2x500, 2x1000, 4x750 disks, and 3x2600 video cards.

My main display is an Apple 30". I also have 2x24" and 2x17" in portrait mode.

I wish that ViewSonic still sold the VP201s panel--I'd like to replace the non-30" displays with portrait mode 1200x1600 panels. Unfortunately, those are pretty hard to find in a silver case aside from a cheap HP and I'm not sure I trust it not to have the backlight buzz.

So I plan to try buying 5 widescreen 20" panels and running them at 1050x1680. It's not quite 1600 but it's close enough. I'm not sure the Apple panels can be rotated when using the VESA bracket, so I will probably just buy the new $290 Dells.

Aside from that, my dream system would include the Maxo BioMorph desk. It's about $3,000 shipped and 96" x 55" with a large keyboard surface.

My compromise it to buy another 6' desk and a 5' credenza to complete a "G" shaped work area measuring about 9' x 10'. My current "U" shaped desk is 6' x 8'. (I am moving soon and will have about 400 sq ft for my home office.)

[Techguy172]

I would like to have a 2.8 MacPro with maybe 6-8gb's of ram with 2 Thirties.

My Dream setup

Intel iMac of almost any sort. Im not picky.
Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Please ;)
Bose Companion 3 II speakers
Apple iPhone J. I wish they had extra cheap 4gb. I don't need much storage.
Any MIDI keyboard
A new good iMovie camcorder
Tangerine/Lime iBook (i luv em)
Any sort of electric drum kit

The furniture is just shapes from keynote and a chair from google images. Not what I want or what I have

I am saving up for a similar setup to the above except every thing will probably be second hand and I might stick with the old camcorder I have now.

I would like all this to be in my room but in my Tokyo apparto right now, I don't think I would have enough room. poo.

Ohwell!

[Shotglass]

Top of the line 17" MBP on an mStand
wireless keyboard + MX Revolution
loads of LaCies or MyBooks
I have the rest already.

[yoyo5280]

How many hardrives do you need?

[mperkins37]

Well I have 3.15tb internal, and 2 externals totaling 820 gb. so I guess I have about 4TB or so. I do multimedia sometimes, & animation, so I guess it's all relative to what you hope to accomplish with the hardware.
The internals are for workflow, The externals are for backups.
OH, Yeah, I almost forgot my 100 GB Music server external FW.
So, for myself, 4TB at least.:D

[Chad H]

I actually have my dream setup coming in tomorrow. I already have my Mac Mini that is in my sig. Which is a 1.83 ghz/160 GB Hitachi 7200 RPM HD w/ a 16MB cache and a 320GB mybook external HD. I just sold my air and ordered a Macbook(white) with the specs below along with my other setup. So, for what I do I actually have ended up with my dream setup. :)

MacBook 2.2 ghz
Hitachi 160GB 7200 RPM HD w/ 16MB cache
4GB RAM

Mac Mini 1.83 ghz
Hitachi 160GB 7200 RPM HD w/ 16MB cache

3.0ghz Quad Core
8GB RAM
2 TB of storage

Put proper speakers and a more minimalistic desk in there and I'll take it.
