Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE IMAC: I spy titties.

How does each Mac know which mouse and keyboard to use if they're both wireless?

[koobcamuk]

How does each Mac know which mouse and keyboard to use if they're both wireless?

They work easily. You pair one, then pair the other to the other machine. Because they've paired - there's no intereference and there's no problem, even if you switch them off then on again.

I do it with two of my macs.

Your house looks so nice! I love the wood walls.

[falcon1]

Yeah his house looks like he lives in a cabin up in the woods at christmas time and the mac makes it look even better on the couch.

[henk12321]

Haha it kinda is sort of a cabin. It is entirely made out of wood. Except for the fundament.

This is my current setup and how my desk looks right now.

Where can I get a stand like that for my laptop. I dont see them on the apple site anymore. I need one for my dorm.

Wow, yes, an eMac and a JVC. The computer is from work (I work for the local schoolboard and do work for them from University) (See my summer job photos here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=227895)) so it's not actually mine, but the VX2100 is mine, I've been saving up, and I got the opportunity to shoot a 1 minute ad for my University so I decided it would be very beneficial to me to buy the camera for use on that project so that I didn't have to share equipment with the other students making similar films.

Do you really need both TV's? Could you not hook the 360 up to the LCD? Are there many times where you are playing a game and watching a movie? Just seems like over kill to me.

Thanks! LOL, actually I got the wired KB/mighty mouse plus mousepad on purpose, I've used couple sets of wireless on my PC, just got tired of changing batteries and the motion feels more smooth with mousepad. Wireless indeed is more clean, I agree. Hmmm...you got me all thinking to exchange this set back to the store for wireless, since I only bought it last week.

I love the setup and am very jealous of the equipment! Mine's more of a 'white room' - but I heartily recommend the new mighty mouse (wireless) as it tracks on all surfaces - wired one needs a pad really.

Get yourself some rechargable batteries - mine last me weeks on end (especially the keyboard)

Learn keyboard shortcuts and you'll curb the mouse eating the batteries too much.

Just my ten pence worth!

Yes, the speakers are Logitech Z-5500s. I've had them for a couple years now. I was referring to the keyboard and mouse set, the S530 desktop for Mac.

how do you find that keyboard? i see you've used a few...

[rogersmj]

how do you find that keyboard? i see you've used a few...

I love it. Its short travel is really nice, and it feels really stable. It's a little louder than the Apple keyboard though, but I like the overall look and feel and the media buttons are very useful. One feature I thought was stupid but now I find myself using more than ever is the volume buttons on the mouse. Wow are those handy!

LOL yeah I have used a few kb/mouse sets. I'm really picky about input devices. The oldest one you can see in the shots on my desktop, the Cordless MX700 Desktop, was probably the best in its day. But it was getting long in the tooth and I needed a laser mouse, so I got the MX5000. Biggest mistake ever. It felt great, but that damn thing would never stay connected, the keyboard and the mouse would freeze up for no reason, you would have to screw with it for 10 minutes sometimes to get it connected when you booted the computer...it sucked. All that happened in both Windows and Linux, with and without drivers installed, so I know it wasn't a software issue. After awhile, I demanded a replacement with a different model because TWO other people (one of them being my roommate) were experiencing the exact same problems. Logitech refused and sent me the same model, which of course experienced the same problems. My friend is now arguing with them about the same issues. Normally I absolutely love Logitech products, but that one was a huge dud. A huge, expensive dud -- that was the priciest combo yet, at MSRP$149; I got it for $120.

nice to know that. i just bought one in ebay in spite of i already have the best mouse ever: mx1000. i just can't stand apple peripherals. the keyboard doesn't respond too well and the mighty mouse makes my hand suffer :(

My C2D macbook with bestkinsever applied, Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, my new white Treo 680, and the corniest white lamp I could find. :o

Treo 680 is starting to annoy me. There's no option that allows you to set the alarm tone to ring several times. It only rings once!.

Silverscreen also, doesn't work properly. Battery life is abysmal. I still prefer the 650. Wish i hadn't sold it already. Oh well, maybe one of these years i'll have to try get a blackberry afterall.

[nospleen]

I like the 680 so far. But, the battery life is terrible!! I am not a heavy user either. The white is more of a pearl color. I would have ordered a different color if I would have known that up front.

Yeah i didn't wanna pick colours because of the slight chance i'd not like them. So i chose the neutral graphite. Its sleeker and the lack of antenna is a God send but the tradeoffs are slightly on the heavy side. Contemplating putting mine on eBay right now but i may just leave it.

Cool setup by the way.

Yeah! This will be the largest display I have ever regularly used! I had a Dell 2001FPW a while back, and that was a great display. I made the mistake of getting a regular (non-widescreen) LCD this time around, and it's been a pain for me not being able to have two documents side by side. I almost got another 2001, but figured, hey, I don't own a TV, this computer's my only "entertainment center", let's get the biggest monitor the Mini can handle. Ta-da!

[xPismo]

Yeah! This will be the largest display I have ever regularly used!... Ta-da!

You and your Flikr pages. I just spend the past the last half hour looking at your macs and surfing craigslist for a suitable g4 server project. Argh! I thought I was cured of these silly ideas! ;) Nice projects btw.

What was the reason you went with the dell over the apple 23"? Just curious.

[livingfortoday]

What was the reason you went with the dell over the apple 23"? Just curious.

Price, basically. The Dell outlet has the 2407 for $599, while the Apple was $899. I was able to pick up the Dell from a forum member for a little less than the outlet price+tax, so I'm happy.

The other features (extra inputs, etc) were a bit of a draw, too, since I will be using this as my primary entertainment center display for at least a year.

And yeah, playing around with computers is good times, as evidenced by my Flickr page. I'm trying to think of a new project to build around this spare 466Mhz G4 processor I can't seem to get rid of...

Thanks, yeah, I need to get a new desk. It's served me well, but I'm runnin' out of room. I used for have a 2001FPW with my Cube on it before, and that was really low on space already. I can't imagine how the 2407 will fit.:

Nice cube livingfortoday.

Nah, it was just a piece of paper with a cloud pattern printed on it, on the metal shell between the plastic and metal. The clouds ended up on the back, though, I didn't plan it out so well.

Edit: I got the idea from here:

Wow, that brings back memories. My first work digital camera was a Sony Mavica with a floppy drive built in. :eek: It took a lot of shots per disc too, man I wonder what size they were... I completely forget.

As I realized I had too many Macs, I sold iBook and Ti PB (at the decent price as they were basically in a mint condition as I take care of my Macs very nicely).

So, I was able to trim down my inventory to MBP, 2 PBs, Tablet, Dell & HP (oustisde the picture).

Now, I have 2 extra keyboards and a few too many mice. I guess I will save them till I go for MP next year after CS3 is released.

Oh so cluttered :o I think it would drive me insane to work at that!

Actually, it is very workable. I have several hubs for USB, Firewire 400, & Firew800, and several external Lacie and Maxter drives, 3 external speakers, and what not. So, it is impossible to clean up wires like other people who has a simple and elegant set up on this thread. I simply have so many:D .......I know it would get more cluttered with wires as I am going to add MacPro soon. For that I would need extra small furniture.....

[falcon1]

YS2003 would you consider selling one of your keyboards, PM me and let me know.

Quite a bit of hatred for my sticker... And no, it doesn't cover the sleep light. So it's just there to look cool, and since it's the only mac ever with a sticker it is too me very cool. And if I ever move both the iMacs in teh house I can differentiate easily. And no, the G5 imac does not have a sticker :P

The end of the line is that it's not going and it's mine! So don't be hating

I still have them somewhere... do you have a link to the website to buy the replacement pads? Or better yet you can send me the ones you took off :D

You can order the pads over the phone at: 1-800-293-4463 Just ask for the velour pads for the DT-250. They cost $17 + $5 shipping.

You're welcome :)

Thanks. I don't need two, but I wanted to upgrade from my PB 1.33GHz and couldn't get a decent price selling it second hand. So I'm holding onto it for now and its basically working as extra screen realistate.

All three machines are connected through Synergy so I can really multitask well running different things on 3 systems. So sweet with the wireless logitech keyboard/mouse too.

[livingfortoday]

Nice. So is the mini connected to it? Does it display the native resolution?

Yeah, the Mini is connected to it through DVI. The max resolution the Mini can handle is 1920x1200, which happens to be this monitors native resolution as well :D . That's why I got it - the biggest display my Mini could take.

It's pretty smooth so far, and I haven't seen any problems at all with video quality or stuttering or anything. I'm going to try some simple games on it at some point, though I bet that the Mini and its GMA950 won't like that so much.

I really like it. I do most of my work on the 30", and keep secondary stuff on the 20"s such as email, chat, iTunes, documentation, etc. Works great. And since my main focus is on the 30" all the time, it's not to wide.

[livingfortoday]

awesome monitor. Can you have all the connections, like the s-video, component, vga and dvi all hooked up at the same time to different sources and able to switch between them?

Yeah, you can. But you can do that with most LCD, I used to have a Rosewill that I had hooked up to the Mini through DVI and a PC through VGA, and I'd just switch using the buttons on the front. Of course, this has lots more inputs, as well as picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture, so it's preeeetty nice.

Id did just get put to shame by that incredible 30" + 2x20" setup. Yowza!

Yup 720p HD :)

I'm using the Miglia TVMini HD (http://www.miglia.com/products/video/tvminihd/index.html), it's right next to the right speaker in the pic.

It's hooked up to the rooftop antenna. If I had cable, I could pick up unencrypted HD local channels using the TVMini HD in QAM mode.

I didn't think roof-tops could pick up HD.

My current set up at University:

Powermac G5 Dual 2Ghz

23" ACD
24" Dell 2407FPW

A bit of a mash up I Know, but I needed the connections in the back of the dell... And i'm not too fussy!

Not very, a bit of elbow grease and goo remover is all that is necessary apparently.

My study at the end of a hard day's work. Indeed, the photograph (edited to give a darker saturation and more relaxed feel) includes the Montecristo No. 2 cigar and Dow's young vintage port just before their preparation process. The desk is made of 100% pure solid Ash (hardwood), not Ikea rubbish.

Of course, my 17'' Laptop was the last revision from the PowerBook lineup. If it ain't broke, don't replace it. Long live PowerBooks, but not quite as good as my Montecristo, Cohiba and Romeo Y Julieta ;)

It is a hard life being me.

Hi

that desk looks really nice and symmetrical :) perhaps a bit lacking in the ergonomics department, no? I mean, with your chair and laptop set up like that, if you look straight ahead your eyes must be some 40cm above your screen.

[MatthewConnelly]

Just got my MacBook on Friday, i'm absolutely loving it! I may clean up my desk soon... If I can be bothered.

Sorry for crappy quality, they were taken on my phone and I couldn't figure out how to resize them.

Yes, you've made a point. In the picture the chair looks higher than the monitor viewing point, but as I've now adjusted the height setting, it is at its lowest, therefore nearly eye-level - no higher than 7 - 8 cm. Maybe it is something I've got used to with laptops as I do a lot of mobility as part of my job.

I'm the same way with checking this one, and usually there are some good pics on FLICKR, but i think your best bet is to just check this site every once and a while(or every day), and if you wanna see some awesome set ups, look back at the 250+ pages of this thread... there are some really cool ones...

I've gone through every page on this thread, posting about 4 or 5 times along the way and downloading pics of tasty setups for viewing in slideshows...I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any threads that are regularly updated so I can view more pics...the more the better....I wish more people would post on here.

my mac mini (g4 one) set up

i've got one of those stools it appears .. but mine is yellow instead of white and i've had it for as long as i remember. my parents tell me the stool is older than i am (i'm 25 by the way) and it is by far my most favorite thing to sit on .. sadly it is starting to show it's age and is beginning to crack at the base :(

so ... long story short ... i've searched for years and have yet to come across anywhere i can replace it .. where did you get yours from? (i'm in Canada)

[Spanky Deluxe]

Here's mine right now, sorry for the crappy phone camera shot. The machine is hidden away though, I love having just the screen and wireless keyboard & mouse there!!

I was going to post this a couple of hours ago but then the dog decided to wake up from his sleep and defecate all down my hallway (hessian carpeted hallway). Damned diarrhoea!!

Edit: I just realised that that first shot didn't show that much of my setup so I added another image.

LOL! I wanted to share my pain. He's now sitting by the door waiting for me to forgive him, bless him. What's funny though is that he usually sleeps in my flatmate's bed but tonight we thought he'd stay up with me for a while. If he had of, now *that* would have been funny!!

I have the exact same monitor, ditto to BF and waiting in line. I was first in line :D , waited 21 hrs from 8am Thursday. I wanted to keep the Westinghouse 22" but decided to sell it instead. The 19" widescreen is big enough :).

Un-ravel that mouse cord... that looks ridiculous! And that's one thing that bothered me about my MacBook Pro... some of the ports were on the side that I used my mouse on and I'd bump into the cords... kinda annoying. My 12" PowerBook had all the ports on the left side out of the way of my mouse.

Not that I have ever had a powerbook, but I know that with the iBook - it's really annoying when the mouse lead isn't quite long enough to go all the way around the back and allow to to move everywhere you might want to (safely).

Wireless is the way I do things now.

i simply cant be bothered, the cord isnt long enough to reach round the other side and its quite springy too (retains its original shape). i move the computer aboout a lot, its hardly permanent so i guess im alright with it for now.

It would be interesting if you had somebody else's desktop on your screen as well.

Someone did that once, they showed their setup and had my desktop I created going on dual monitors or something.

The glass cup is very close to MB. If it gets knocked off and spill that much amount of water (or juice, not sure what's in it) on MB, I am sure it would be a major disaster.

Have you never seen an LCD with multiple inputs? Mine, for example, does DVI, VGA, Composite, and S-Video. I have the PowerBook plugged in via DVI and the PC via VGA.

Is that monitor hooked up to the MBP or the PC... it looks like Windows skinned as OS 10 but the MBP has the DVI cable plugged in..?

I wouls guess that it is controlled via a KVM but I can't see one. Maybe it is setup with a keystroke combination. I will be posting my new setup with its KVM in the new year.

[stuppy]

The Samsung screen has a multiple input - Digital, Analogue and Composite - all at once. DVI is Macbook Pro, then a DVI-VGA converter on the Windows Computer (my only gripe with this monitor is that its not dual-dvi inputs). I then just unplug my Apple keyboard from the Macbook and the PC as and when I need it - and press the button on the screen to switch to DVI or VGA.

Simple ;)

I have that same lamp at my dorm. It looks really nice, but gets incredibly hot.

[benthewraith]

I have that same lamp at my dorm. It looks really nice, but gets incredibly hot.

That would probably be because the lamp is metal. ;)

[Saluki Alex]

That would probably be because the lamp is metal. ;)

That, and the fact that it has a halogen bulb. I wouldn't mind the heat as much if it weren't for the fact that mine gets so hot that it makes popping noises as it heats up. I very rarely use it anymore for that reason.
