That's a shame. The retro receiver is what caught my eye. Time to set up a new eBay alert.
Good to know about the LEDs. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Got my Swan M10s last thursday I believe tried em out on my macbook unplugged it and now my MacBook is stuck on optical output but not even normal earbuds work any more, took it to the apple store they said I have to replace the logic board.
I had this happen on my old MacBook from time to time. You can actually short the sensor with a paperclip to reset it. Check google for more info. (unless you have Apple Care of course).
Workspace after cleaning up cables! by soulreaver99, on Flickr
I cleaned up a disgusting rat's nest of cables so this is what my desktop looks like now. You can see the before and after process here:http://www.thegeeksoffice.com/?p=540
Dude dont even get me started on that! Ive tried that for the past 2 days it aint working. I can get the sensor to start flickering but thats it. Also the dude at the apple store got it to go back to heaphones when they were plugged in but all I get is static from the headphones. Im going to give it a shot until tomorrow but if it doesnt work im gonna send it to repair. It really sucks not to be able to listen to anything!!! All I can do is read articles!!!
I don't know if this is the same issue, but with my 2011 13" MBP, whenever I plug in external speakers or headphones, the volume indicator goes gray and I can't control the volume. I found that by opening iTunes, playing a song, and then closing and reopening iTunes again the sound sometimes come back.
Ive tried everything from compressed air, to qtips, paper clips, safety pins, etc. Nothing works. When I have headphones in it recognizes it headphones but I only get static. I get paid this week so Ill have money for the repair
As soon as my room is finished I will post my setup, going to procure Chicago floating shelves in that classic apple store wood (I think it's pine, or spruce?). Also hang some Beatles posters, and do some wire hiding.
Updated Things a bit...
I am feeling inspired by you guys, so I have updated my setup a bit as well. Moved everything against the wall. I have moved the printer to the desk...though the printer is Wi-Fi so technically I could've placed this thing anywhere....but oh well, I think it looks good where its at. Any other recommendations you guys? Love this thread!

I wish I could see more college student's setups.
Yes, me too! Oh, wait. I think we're talking about different things.
Nice table and setup. Do you mind sharing where I can get hold of this table. I'm looking for a desk for my room.
Would be much appreciated. Thanks
It's the Hama Leather Mousepad for Mac. I can't find it on an American website (I'm Dutch) but here is one on Amazon UK
I'm using it for 3 months now, and I really like it. Because of the black rubber feet of the Magic Mouse it gets a little bit black, but it's hardly visible and I think it's a great, thin and stylish mousepad.
Finally got my SD card back for my camera!
Here's my old setup when I first got an iMac G5 to replace my old PowerMac G4. This was in 2008 I believe.
![3357881266_207f5c0547_b.jpg]()
During this summer I decided to repaint my room white, as I wanted more of a clean look. After having had the iMac G5 for 2.5 years I decided I had had enough of the jet-engine fans and malfunctioning AirPort. It was time for a new iMac! In november I bought a brand-new iMac 21.5". I must say this is the best computer I've ever had. I love the LED-screen, the Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard as well as the blistering performance. Also pictured is my new iPhone 4S which was bought in december. I'm contemplating putting up the M5 poster again or something similar, however I also like the clean look. Comments are welcome.
