hmm, since you can't add images to an edit, a new post. This is my current setup since moving to Europe. My desk is also never this clean. Threw everything on the floor for now.

Of course it's all IKEA stuff. Too poor to buy other furniture and not worth it at the moment.

What's funky about my new place is the floorboards. Got to be from the beginnging of the century or something. They're really squeaky though.

Specs:
The MBP in my signature
External HD - OWC Mercury Elite Pro 250 GB
60GB video iPod 5G
2G Shuffle

I believe you CAN add pics to a older post, you just have to go "advance" So before you go calling others noobs and being rude, you may want to figure that out:rolleyes:

Not sure what brand it is, but I bought it from Staples (http://staples.com). I looked briefly on their website but couldn't find it. I want to say it was around $100.

Hi all

I have been enjoying this thread,seeing everyones set-ups. Here is mine. Its in my bedroom. I have 2 "blackbooks" one is connected to a sony 23" monitor (the last model dedicated to computers that they made) Just yesterday I got the cords/adapters needed to connect that blackbook to my Sony 32" Bravia TV that is in the unit next to the computer. For now I am just going to watch movies on the hard drive connected to the Blackbook on the TV. I still prefer to pull up my nice recliner to the monitor and do my "computer" work. The cabinet below the computer section holds a My Book 500GB HD. When those doors are open I just tuck my feet into the cabinet and recline in my chair. My second "blackbook" is one mobile. I use it with my iLap on the bed or out on the balcony.

I hate cords so I have them all well hidden in behind the wallunit. Next year I am planning on replacing the windows desktop downstairs in my office with a Mac Pro. That will takeover from the windows desktop that is now a server for the 2 blackbooks. All this is serviced by the airport extreme down in the office. There is an Airport express connected to the receiver above the TV so that I can have my itunes playing in my bedroom.
All that and no talk about the Cabbage Patch Kid on your bed?! :) Cute.

The glass was bought at the same time, it wasn't much extra.

very nice. i really, really, really miss the iMac G4 design. is there a chance apple could make that design but with oled screens (oled because i am assuming they are lighter in weight)....

Italchef

Sep 24, 2007, 12:30 AM

Thanks nlivo. Whenever I show people the G4 they're blown away by it. I always hear, "Where's the rest of it?". Comparing the two side-by-side is amazing to see how far the technology has advanced in four years. The iMac I just bought is appr. in the same place in the iMac line that my G4 was. There are absolutely no glare issues with this one, dead pixels, etc. The only thing that is better about the old one are the speakers. Whatever. I love the all-in-one design so its really no big deal. Now I'm just trying fine tune everything here. For some reason iTunes won't recognize some of my purchased music. If I manually locate the file in the music folder it plays and the "!" disappears but there's enough that its a pain...but I digress.

i wanted a clock that had multi time zones... took ages to find one that wasnt a rip off, but its from a random shop.

The desk is from Ikea, its just a normal one from their range, with glass and draws.

The TV is a samsung 720p 32", and i was watching an unfortunate truth (al gore) before you get confused :D

You can always have a glass shop (the ones that do windsheild repair, etc.) to make a custom one for you. I had one done for my old desk it came up to about 50 bucks. :D

I have had one for about 3 - 4 years now and they are really cool. I just have to remember to use it! Also it helps if you spend a few minutes / hours setting it up properly with every application. Pausing a DVD with it is a bit more stylish than pressing the space bar!

Sep 27, 2007, 04:34 AM

Sorry but this maybe a really stupid question, but why is that keyboard so expensive, what is special about it?

Thanks.

It's not a stupid question, it's one I was asking a few months ago.

New, it runs about $280 American with shipping, and everything about it is high quality. The key switches are some of the best in the industry, It works with every OS, has DIP switches that change the function of some of the keys. It has a USB 2.0 hub that is as fast as a direct USB connection to my lappy when transferring large files from my external drive.

Plus, the design of the key layout is great. The Fn key works to make the small layout give full control. You can touch type with out ever having to reach for arrow keys or anything.

Google it if you are interested, there are plenty of reviews and message board posts that can answer all your questions.

what keyboard is that, and also what logitech/mouse software do you use for your revolution? i switched to an MS rf wireless mouse because at the time (last year) i couldn't find any software that gave a smooth mouse movement to my logitech revolution mouse.

thanks in advance for the info.

The keyboard is the Logitech Dinovo Edge. My revolution was smooth from the start, but I programmed its buttons with Controllermate, which can be found here (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/). I used controllermate to program my keyboard buttons, too. It can also be used to edit the acceleration and tracking speed of the mouse. I use the revolution with the Icemat 2 mouse pad, so it just glides and is very smooth.

arcsbite, i really dig your setup. i see you are using an AEBS? do you have those external drives hooked up to it? if so, how well does that work? i've read so many mixed reviews and am thinking of just purchasing a NAS type enclosure to achieve the same results. i do still need a .11n router though, so I don't know what to do. anyway, i'd love to hear about the details of that portion of your setup. everything is so neat and clean.

I have all 4 externals hooked up to a usb hub and the hub is hooked upto the AEBS, works great, I just connect to them through using the airport disk tool and they mount like my old NAS drive.
they are all formatted in HFS+ but mount and work great via tiger, leopard and XP/Vista

defsquad

Sep 27, 2007, 09:43 PM

figure i'll post up my latest setup since i was asking questions about other folks' setups:

it's actually changed a bit more since this pic. i'll be switching up the desk layout a bit more modifying the ikea jerker even more. plus i hope to get some more stuff up on the walls now that the floating shelves have been taken down to make room for the added height of the jerker's top shelf.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1204/954767265_61849844d8.jpg?v=0

Basically what you see there is my c2d mbp on the left, my gateway 21" lcd in the middle that has switching video for the hd dtv receiver, the mbp, and my work laptop on the right which is a cd hp nc8430. mounted inifinity minuettes under the top shelf which is controlled by an old sony 835 receiver. i have one of the addons for the jerker that is like a cable tray; i've also mounted 2 apc ups' under the desk and wrapped most exposed wires with split wire loom.

it still needs some work; hopefully when i get the AEBS i can place it and the external hd and the modem elsewhere and move the rest of the desk to another area in the room. we'll see though.

That looks like it's going to turn out really nice.

Finally got my room sorted out so I can get a picture. The desk is one of those desks with a drawing board on the underside that spins out. It has an A2 board and it cost nothing!

On desk (from centre clockwise)

Al iMac 20" 2.0
HP 5940 printer
Logitech X540 speakers
MS Bluetooth Intellimouse
Piggy bank

How come your iMac is sitting on the desk like that?

It doesn't look to me like it's sitting in the desk, I think the speaker is just hiding the stand.

It's just the centre speaker for my speakers. I was hoping it would fit under the "chin" of the iMac but it's just too big. On top of the iMac it covered the iSight.

Do you have an enV too? I just got this with a contract renewal, couldn't pass it up for $150 with $100 contract renew discount. I put a 2GB MicroSD card in it as well. I think in some ways it's better than an iPhone.

Yeah, unfortunately, unlike Windows, the Mac OS doesn't "reverse shift" when caps lock is on. (On a Windows computer, if you have caps lock on, holding shift makes the letter LOWER case. So that if you typed a 'normal' sentence accidentally with caps lock on, iT WOULD BE AS IF i WERE TYPING aPPLE IpOD NAMES LIKE THIS.) As I said, unfortunately, the Mac OS keeps it always capital when caps lock is on. (No, I don't think paola is accidentally turning caps lock on every time he types an 's', then turning it back off when he finishes typing an 's'.)

The VX10000 Voyager will be out shortly, I kinda wish I had waited. Dual WVGA screens, touch screen on the front, full HTML browser, MiniSD slot instead of MicroSD.

But there is one thing nobody is sure of since it's not out yet, will it be as solid as the current enV. I won't be upgrading mine anytime soon.

you'll see on there that I am a pilot by profession too if you look, but I've since gotten out of full time flying as I hated living out of a suit case.. We (my wife and I) now just do portrait photography (www.samahaphotography.com) which makes for a good tax write off on the camera/computer :apple: , and which provides a decent steady income, and live off of residual income from real estate investments that I made 10 years ago.

I still fly contract on the side from time to time, but I don't think I'll go back to full time employment for anyone anytime soon.. or at least I hope not to! :eek:

As far as i know, you would have to wall mount it, for the height of the current stand wouldn't fit the monitor in portrait position. You could however make a custom stand, or if you are really good with aluminum, make an addition that fits on teh current stand to allow it to fit the new one.

Simply, you would have to wall mount, or buy a new vesa stand, and not jsut the mount.

They do sell both wall mounts and desk mounts with the vesa standard.

And if I am, Apple doesn't deliver to P.O. boxes so how would I get it shipped to me at college? Just send it to the main college address and pick it up there?

Sorry haven't checked back earlier. I don't personally have that problem b/c I don't move it very often, only for long car rides. I know the new ones have the universal dock so that problem doesn't happen. However, if you get a new one you get a regulated fm transmitter b/c the fcc had that recall, I would keep it as long as you can.

1 it keeps a bit of air circulation going while the laptop is closed, keeping it cooler, 2 it gives you more desk space & room to put things underneath the laptop (such as external hdd's in my case) and 3 it looks way cooler!! :D:D

1 it keeps a bit of air circulation going while the laptop is closed, keeping it cooler, 2 it gives you more desk space & room to put things underneath the laptop (such as external hdd's in my case) and 3 it looks way cooler!! :D:D

Also, if you're using it without an external monitor, it raises the computer to a more comfortable level. It's more ergonomic that way.

Yes, having the screen at eye-level makes sense, however using a stand when;

a.) the machine is closed
b.) you don't actually use any of the extra space beneath
c.) the cooling is designed to cope with the machine being on a flat surface & not suspended in the air

it's a bit pointless.

Having more space under the computer allows for more air movement. Sitting flat only allows a fraction of the air to flow under and cool the computer.

When I'm playing C&C3 via bootcamp I find that if I have my computer on my stand it runs cooler. If it sits on the table it will sometimes freeze because the GPU gets to hot.

It looks nice. haha.

I, however, use the space underneath my Elevator, and I use my macbook while it's atop the stand.

also; would I be right in saying that you probably use your MBP open aswell? 'cause if that's the case, then removing the stand from the desk just because the MBP is closed for a period of time proves pointless.

Problem with that is that it'd be too small! When you have that big of a monitor, you need a smaller res. I've yet to meet an unhappy LVM-37W3 owner, and I've talked with around 8-9 of them. It simply does everything very well for the price/performance ;)

Not sure of the panel, but I know it's a newer one than the problematic ones they had with the 1st and 2nd revisions. That's why it's continually rated so high among users on major reviewer sites (Newegg, cnet, etc.).

I like it a lot, it does take some time to get used to though. I'm coming from a wired aluminum version, where the keys were a tad more spread out around the command button.

It's so small that it's hard to get over for the first 24-48 hours. Even seeing the pictures online didn't prepare me for how small and light it is.

All that aside, I really do like it :D

I'm actually thinking of getting this stand mainly for this reason. How much of a temperature reduction do you see (assuming you measure it)? I'm trying to decide between this or just a notebook cooling pad (though the cooling pad doesn't give the advantage of the extra height).

Also, I noticed a lot of pictures with the Logitech Z-4 speakers. They look nice but how's the sound? I posted about these in the Peripherals forum but didn't get too many responses, so I hope you guys don't mind me posting here. Great pics, btw!

Well I don't have a way of measuring comp temps while playing... Scrin attacks and all :) but I have never had any issues of freezing gameplay or excessive heat.

The stand allows more air to move around the casing, which is why I like to have a fan nearby to move the air. A cooling pad forces air. A friend of mine has one on his MBP, I'll ask him if he sees any performance increases.

20" uses a LG TN 6-bit panel, 24" uses a much higher quality LG S-IPS true 8-bit, same one found in MUCH higher end NEC (and other companies) professional displays.

TN is a type of panel, known for their low quality, they are popular among gamers because they offer much lower response time, but don't offer near the color reproduction or viewing angle of an S-IPS.

Quality over quantity, quantity over quality, you decide.

I've used the Mighty Mouse alongside another mouse of mine (a Micro$oft one) and I find it to be a tad laggy and jumpy. The laggy part may be to my USB 1.1 on the PowerMac G4 I'm using it with, but the microsoft mouse is very responsive and accurate. It's on the same speed port too, when used with my docked.

On another note, I do like the portrait display mode you have there, very unique and interesting. Nicely done. Most people only use portrait with other, larger, monitors around them.

Glad someone likes it, I gave mine to my dad for free, he threw it in the garbage, I only got it cause I had no choice, it came with the iMac.

Accurate compared to what I might ask?

Compared to USB 2.0 wired mice (Labtec,...) and a Microsoft wireless optical USB mouse I've used before. I find the accuracy of the Mighty Mouse (as a pointing device) excellent. I also like the scrollball and find scrolling with this mouse very smooth (especially compared to the microsoft mouse I have).
I was a little bit worried when I read all these negative reviews, but now, I'm very glad I bought this MM. I've been using it for several hours a day during the last 40 days, and it always worked without a glitch.
btw: I have the bluetooth version.

I have had no problems with my MM and I like the feel in my hand. I am anxiously awaiting delivery of the new BT keyboard. It was supposed to be here on Friday but now they say Tuesday...

Figured I'd post mine.

The Macbook will be replaced with a Macbook Pro once they start shipping them with Leopard. :cool:

The keyboard and mouse are getting replaced with a wireless Mighty mouse and wireless keyboard.

I like your room because has no desk, no definite workplace. I like the Futon.

I personally have to wait to post my set up. When leopard comes pre-installed is when I get my first mac. I'm making the switch!:apple:

someone on here who actually uses a laptop as a laptop instead of putting in on one of those stands and using external everything.

I certainly wouldn't understand why someone would want to bring their laptop up to eye level and expand their screen real-estate with an extra display :rolleyes:

That being said, personally, I seldom use my notebook at my desk.

To dispell boredom this afternoon I set about building a stand for my MacBook out of some scrap 1"x1/4" lengths. I might sand it all down, neaten it up a bit, then prime it, spray it, & gloss it, or I might be lazy & just leave the bare wood & joints. At any rate I'm going to stick some rubber on the bottom & along the lip at the front.

I really need to get me some more... but seeming as I'm a university student who doesn't go to trade shows or anything like that, I have no idea where to source them from!

The MacBook Pro is my main computer, and it is connected to its 20" LCD, running in "Dual display mode."
The Power Mac G4 is my secondary computer.
All of the G3s were recently acquired by me and some friends from a school district upgrading to Mac Pros.

We've acquired a total of 20 PowerMac G3s, They are 300Mhz PPC G3 Processors, 192MB of RAM (Except for the one that recognizes only 64, the 128 stick does not work), but only 7 of the G3s are at my house, the rest are at my friends' house.

I spent 4 hours today changing stuff around...

Enjoy.

I used to have my laptop on my bed and use it anywhere, but after I got the external speakers it's just too much pain to hook and unhook it all the time. I still take it to the bed on a lazy weekend morning though :).
