This is my little brothers setup. Late 2005 Powermac G5 dual 2.0Ghz processor, 4gb ram, two 160gb hard drives, running OSX 10.5.8 and an Apple 20 inch Cinema display.

I will post my setup once my new desk comes should be here in a few days.

It looks like you're running Tiger (10.4.11?) from what I can tell. The blue :apple:

and the spotlight icon gave it away.

Yea these pictures were taken when he first got it for Christmas since then i have wiped the original 160gb hard drive that came in the machine and took another 160gb hard drive out of an old imac i had and it had leopard on it so now it is running leopard, but when we got it it was running 10.4.11 as you see in the picture.

I used a grey from the brown section.

Straight-up greys can look a bit Battleship IMO.

Thanks. I'll try and remember that. Not sure if I should try grey again or just pick another color.

I've repurposed the cinema display for the time being as a permanent xbox screen.

Added M-Audio BX5 D2's and a TC Electronic Desktop Konnekt 6.

More changes coming

I posted an updated pic of my set up last month, but I've since rearranged it so I figured I'd post another pic. I've spent some time with hiding and wrapping the majority of the wiring in split loom, so now the bulk of the wires aren't visible. I had the iMac and the external monitor off to the right of me beforehand, now the iMac is directly in front of me.

What iPad stand is that?

Sweet!!, setup. Do you use each computer for separate things? How is the comfort level, sitting in front of that hdtv, been considering using my tv for a similar setup.

Yes, the mac pro on the left I use for working from home...also tons of video editing for my personal motorcycle go pro stuff.

The mac mini in the middle runs my home theater library for my home theater room/apple tv2 in the next room.

There is a pc on the right is a gaming pc I usually let my family/friends use for local gaming...the far right pc with the 40" LED TV is my main PC I use for gaming/everything else. I love the monitor setup, it's not as close as it looks...spoiled me for gaming. Playing on my old 27" mac monitor is crap now.

I have too many computers

there is another iMac and 3 more mac mini's elsewhere in my house.

No such thing as to many computers.

Goodness, that is awesome. How is the comfort level of the stool in the middle? I love the looks of those, but they don't look like they are the most comfortable.

iDutchman · Feb 29, 2012

Main Setup & Kitchen Setup 2012

Main Setup:

MacBook Air 11" 1.6 i5 128GB w/ Thunderbolt Display 27".
Hercules XPS101 Speakers (real good).

Kitchen setup:

iMac G5 20" 2Ghz 2GB RAM 1TB HD on 10.4.11. In combination with Airfoil and Airport Express, works flawlessly! Great machine.

Also, (as seen in the iMac pic --> below right)) I have an old MacBook 1,1 lying around and an iPad 1 and 2. Picture taken with 4S. Two iMac G4's as well (15 and 17")

Others:

- Time Capsule 2TB
- Airport Express (2x)
- numerous Apple stuff such as (mighty/pro/magic) mouses and keyboards

It's not comfortable, I just use it for walk-up use. I didn't want to clutter the space with a bunch of desk chairs. If someone actually uses the PC they pull a chair up.

The stool is just a general purpose seating..have a few in my theater room too.
