Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

Heh. We decided to be all grown up and buy mugs from Habitat rather than keeping the random cartoon and charity shop mugs we had before. But we kept em anyway, so now just have about 25 mugs. Less washing up though. :p

[Clix Pix]

Its always been said its easier too look up at a monitor than down (and healthier)

Wrong! Especially if you wear bifocals.... LOL!

Actually, it's hard on one's neck to be always looking up at a monitor. As has been said, it's really best to have the top of the monitor at about eye level, as then you can keep your head reasonably straight and that is easiest on the neck.

Very nice, I would suggest putting the external monitor aligned with the top of the iBook screen.

Cleaned things up a little bit.

Thanks. I've tried that before but then the external looks unusally low. I'll post a pic of it later on.

Thats pretty sweet, looks a fair bit like mine at the moment. Where did you pick up your cable management system from?

If your powerbook is on the desk, what do you use your iCurve for?
And I am sorry to hear about your mac. I need to take my PB in, but it's hard since I am in school and I don't have another mac in the house. I can't muster up the courage to use my boyfriend's machine :(

Anyway, I love the setup, it's sexy.

It's for the PB, but that day I rearranged the desk to make space for the iMac and I had the PB sitting there so I decided to take a pic.

Thanks mate. I just picked up some cable ties and some plastic cable wrap (or what ever that stuff is called). Got both at the hardware store. Here is a close up.

My new *updated* set up!

I've since gotten new iPods, a new 23 inch ACD, redecorated...

I had the old blue "Mariah room." If you'll remember, I said I was about to redecorate: here is the finished result! Still Mariah, but I think it turned out nice.

Very tasteful, warm & inviting. If you were half as hot as Mariah, I'd would wish I lost my virginity in that room.

Excellent improvement!
Curious how does the PB G4 hold up to extensive 2nd monitor & external HDD usuage for things like audio art drawing and high HD video streaming; do any of you worry about internal components getting too hot? Sry its been about 5 years since I owned a laptop (Compaq E500 P3).

PS: Can you please PM a link to more Mariah on the couche photos please?! Thanks.

I like the iCurve on the little glass shelf, looks great and makes the most of desk space :D

Nope, it's a genuine pic. Mariah's a Mac user (I think she has an iMac at home). She also uses Macs in the studio (a TiBook often times).

Hey, You have the same lamp as I do! To bad mine burnt out and I have to find a new bulb for it.

What speakers are those (not the sound sticks) :eek:

[Will Cheyney]

Yes, they're SoundSticks II (my original USB ones just stopped working).
I'm particularly proud of my cable tidy system. I had a stainless steel tray made that attaches to the underside of my desk and houses my array of wires and power bricks.

It used to be a complete mess underneath.

I meant the white ones behind the monitor and what looks to be a sub-woofer at the edge of the desk.

Oh! Lol! No, no. Those are aren't speakers.

I'm not really, sure, i'd say around £70 ($120) but for the right set could possibly go higher, it's been so long since i've needed to buy any I don't know what the average price is anymore.

its a long story. Basically, I got it stolen in school. A month later my insurance paid for my new imac, then, the day i got my imac, i busted the kid who stole my powerbook. I notified the insurance that the laptop was found, asking them what i should do. They have not replied yet.. and thoughts about what they might do?

I got the 2.1 logitech z-2300 speakers for christmas and they are unbelievable. I highly recommend them.

[Benjamindaines]

They will probably make you return the iMac or pay them the price of the iMac. Either that or slam you with premiums

[motherduce]

I don't need one, but saw this desk (http://dealmac.com/deals/Studio-RTA-Malibu-Glass-Computer-Desk-for-65-shipped/109308.html) on dealmac.com the other day - it's glass, and pretty inexpensive, and might work for some of you that are looking.

[motherduce]

On a side note, I'm thiiiiiiiiis close to finishing my office, save for some wall hangings and pictures. Need to make one last run to IKEA in the next week or so, then I'll post my setup.

About a week after my powerbook was stolen, my friend showed up with a new one. Since day one i was suspicious, and the first time he brought in the laptop, i looked for a dent i had made on the cover, and various other cosmetic damage. Unfortunantly, i found nothing. About a month later, he brought the laptop to class, and sat next to me. He began showing me various pictures he had taken of me snowboarding the day before. And then he flipped the laptop around and i noticed some identical damage that my laptop had. I began to freak out, when he was looking away, i copied the serial number from the laptop in question, and sent it to me via gmail. That night, i called apple and asked for them to give me the serial number from the order i had made about 4 months ago, and to my surprise, both serial numbers were identical. The next day, the kid came in with my laptop, and i ****ed him over, and got him expelled from school.

Is that your scanner's lid on a stand? At first I thought you had one of those thin Canon scanners, but then I saw the document feeder scanner to the right. Is that an Epson?
I almost thought you had a monitor facing the wall for a minute there. Then I realized my scanner kind of looks like I have a laptop opened at a 45° angle and facing the wall. It's a Canon LiDE 500F.

You're correct...it is the scanner lid for regular scans and the photo feeder scan lid is the one that is on the scanner. It is an EPSON Perfection 2480. I can put 25 photos in it at a time for scanning...rarely get a jam or misfeed. I'm trying to get all the old family photos into digital format.

Nice.....I'am still waiting form my connector....(mini VGA -> VGA) so I can do the same just with a 17" LCD....going to be so nice with more space ;)

[redeye be]

I'm currently considering that setup for my first Mac, but since the entire line is being replaced by the end of the year I think I'll wait... agian. I'm thinking of just getting an HDCP monitor with video inputs first.
Can you change the desktop settings so the second monitor is on the left and not blocking the disc drive?
iMac is intel, no reason to expect them to change. There are other machines to switch.
There is no reason for only being able to put a second display on one side of an iMac. Completely customisable in your system prefs.

you should ;)

[Caitlyn]

In the future, I'd love a 17" iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 1GB RAM and 250GB HD. :)

Dude your room is LIT like a FIRE!!!:eek: Man I can imagine it gets real dark in that room without that sweet light.

Watch out everyone this one is on a mission! Just the tools he needs....

This is pure motivation for a 12" laptop. I'd like a 1.5Ghz 15" but I love portability so unless the rumored 13" Widescreens debut then I'll have to keep saving and upgrade my skills for a new job to advance my career.

Again great setup.

[p0intblank]

JasonReid, that PowerBook looks so small in those pictures. :eek: Anyone else agree with me on this? It definitely looks like a 12". I know it's a 15", but it still looks tiny for some reason. Maybe it's the awesome wallpaper you got going on there. :D Anyway, nice and clean setup!

lol, it looks abit brigther than it really is, i just over exposed it alittle bit. It's not so tidy at the moment, but generally i only keep things i need to use on my desk so I don't get distracted. Recently i've been wanting a 12" pb instead, as its nicer to travel with, and the 15" is abit heavy.

I would separate the two XBox's a bit, I leave as much space around my 360 and it's power supply as I can. I don't want any heat issues.

As soon as i get the other part of that desk cleaned off, the left part, i'm going to move all the games and DVDs over to that book shelf to free up some room... and that 360 is loud... any other similar notices?

The 360 does make noise, but I was going into it knowing it was loud so it doesn't surprise me like some people. I only notice it when I don't have my stereo on, during games and movies I can't hear it at all. My 360 is also in a fairly small shelf on my stand, so I think that blocks a lot of the noise from reaching me. I have no complaints about it so far, never had it crash or anything like that. Now with that program Connect360, it is that much more useful since the stereo in my living room is the best in the house.

This is my brand new Mac Mini, just came in today. I was lucky to get the 1.5ghz, 64mb VRAM version. My iBook G4 is on the right (out of the picture) I am going to re-install mac os and turn it into a family computer and place it out on the kitchen table.

Apple has been shipping 1.5ghz mac mini's with 64mb of video ram to people who are ordering the 1.42ghz models.

The speakers are from Logitech. Model 5300

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=2177,CONTENTID=9586

I got a really good deal on them about a year ago. They sound great and for my needs are perfect. The Sub is big but I have it under the desk and works well to rest my feet on when playing FEAR. They sound very nice for music and movies as well. I listen to alot of music.....

I finally got my new setup together! The next purchases on me list are an iCurve, an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and probably a 3rd party Bluetooth mouse.

LCIII with 36Mb of ram and a 500Mb HD, 1710(IIRC) 15" screen

my second machine:
9500/200, 768mb of ram, 4Gb HD, two video cards running two undisclosed apple screens
_________________________________________________________________________
my current machine:
700Mhz G4 FP iMac, 768Mb of Ram with a recently upgraded Pioneer DVD110R DVD/CD writer, Wireless keyboard and Mouse

it runs like a dream and have no intention of updating my machinery just yet:)

[MacRumoron]

Great setup. But if you got a wireless keyboard and mouse, it would look even better.

get the wireless keyboard only ;)

mighty mouse > wireless mouse :)

[Glenn Wolsey]

Nice one Glenn Wolsey. So, a month of iBook + iMac combo... Reckon you'll have to buy your own after that? :cool:

I'm doing a 3 way share with my sister, mum, and myself for a MacBook. I would buy one myself but I want a MacPro + ACD next year :)

[Kurt871]

The best layout I could get in my dorm. It's great though when girls are using it and they "lose" the cursor on the top screen. And don't even get me started on hot corners!!


Oh my god, you too!! I'm in a dorm also, and that exact same thing happens to me. Glad to hear it's not just the people here!

"Oh gosh, where'd the mouse go?"
"Ack what did I do?! All the windows moved and the screen went dark.."

I got bored so I made another pic of my current "Powerbook study area." Note that the books in the image do not comprise my entire collection, merely ones I am reading and referencing presently. :D

I'm starting to think I move too much.

Here's my setup at my new office -- this one is located in the Old City Hall building, pretty much the nicest office building in town. I'm signed into a lease on this one -- so I won't be moving for a good long while.

There's some new equipment this time around, too -- notably, I sold by iBook and picked up a PowerBook, and I picked up a professional Sony HD monitor -- the quality is so amazing, it makes my 30" set look like SD!

17, BTW -- Video production really pays off! :)

It's great actually, I'm having a hard time putting it down. It really dives into what the culture of Mac fans is like. The chapter I'm on now is "Macs in Japan" and I just finished reading about the MacWorld expo, some short quotes from those that attended.

It really covers the full spectrum of the community - individuals that have stood out with their fanatacism to the product and the reasoning behind such fanatacism. Definitely worth picking up, I'm glad I did! :D

How much does a office like that cost to lease? I'd like to rent out an office for the stuff I do.

The going rate for my office is $400 per month, plus a "common area maintenence" fee. C.A.M. pays for the maintenence (eletricity, janitor, etc.) for the halls and common areas of the building -- it's split between all the tenants.

Keep in mind, though, I'm in a small town - in a city like Detroit or Chicago, the rent would be much higher.

Here are some of my pics. Note the closed iBook on the night table. Everything's in the sig. Sorry I didn't have time to tidy up.

I really have to find a place for those as they aren't my favourites, they were on the bookshelf before I put the G3 on it.

I don't know how much use it will get other then the odd older Sim game, but ohwell, it freed up some room in the closet.

If you have POP3 mail get an old mail program like QuickMail Pro and use it as a machine to check your mail. Put an IRC client on it or Telnet or something... I have found some pretty pointless things to use on my old 5500's.

With the new PowerMacs you could have (I think) 4x30" and 4x23" running all at the same time. Now that would be a setup to topple all setups....

Not my setup, my friends. It mainly can be found on the floor or her dorm room, but ended up in her drawer that night. She didnt want someone to step on it... again.

Talked to her the other night, she says it never leaves her desk, but this I doubt. :rolleyes:

No offence, but I dont like it. It just feels weird. First of all, the iMac probably shouldn't be on the woofer. Its probably bad for the HD and could do some damage. Second, move the woofer to the floor, it will sound much much better and give you more desk space. Third, the iMac should be the center of attention. The other LCD should be the secondary display which you could place to the left or right of the iMac.

I change my desktop setup often ... I'll take your advice and put the sub on the floor tonight. I definately don't want it messing with my HD. I am gettting a Ergotron monitor Arm that I'll use to suspend my samsung off the right side of my desk while the iMac is in the center .. it's coming on friday.

Hows the 910mp? It seems a lot brighter than the iMac. How does the GameCube look on it?
Funny story, I had the 910mp with my MDD Dual 1Ghz G4, and it was great. I loved it. Then I sold the MDD and got the iMac, and suddenly i notice that the 910mp is not as bright as the iMac... Hmmmmmm.

So I look up the luminance for both of them. The iMac is 250 cd/m2 and the 910mp is 350 cd/m2! So I called up Samsung and got a refurbished replacement. So now i's great and as bright as my iMac. It works great with the GameCube, it even has PIP so I can play while browsing or other such things.
