My first Cinema Display was a 20" that I bought with my Powermac G5:

When I got my 2009 Mac Mini, a friend of mine had another 20", so for awhile I had dual monitors:

Now I'm running a 24" LED Cinema Display. It's super excellent, and I'll probably run it until I can't anymore. Here it is with my 2011 Mac Mini

I still have the 20" monitors, all tucked away in their original boxes with ADC-DVI adapters. I'm still trying to decide what to do with them. Maybe I'll sell them at some point. They probably aren't worth much, though.

I love those old 20" Polycarbonate displays, so you have three?!?! I'm jelly!

I'd seriously consider buying those at the right price, especially with the ADC to DVI adapters, including the original boxes!!

All I have at the moment is a dell ultrasharp 22" and a Cinema Display Alu 20".

What would you ask for them?

Nothing special here, just my Twelve South stand, TBD, my beanie baby, Ghost in the Wires and my Dianetics book! Haha

great thread. I have been waiting for the new iMac but at this point leaning towards a macbook pro with thunderbolt.

I decided to get a Rain mStand so I could use the MBP as a second screen

Works really well and hides all the network cables going into the AAEB.

Hey guys,

Here is my 15" Retina MacBook Pro, 27" Thunderbolt Display, 27" Cinema Display and my Custom Gaming desktop. One monitor for each!

Im looking for some help as well, when I have my mac hooked up to my thunderbolt display, how can I set it so when I close the lid it continues to work with an external keyboard and mouse?

Thanks Guys!

iMac should coming soon.

I was checking some Apple pricing this morning. The Apple store pages were telling me that they were updating the pages for new products. So with luck, we will see a new smaller iPad, new iMac, and I hope a new Thunderbolt Display later today.

Mac Mini is what would be great, next purchase after that will be the MacPro for me.

I will be shocked if a new mini is released, I know there is a lot of hype around it, but the iPad3 was only released so little ago.

It's my English.... jump from one thing to another..

Was referencing to this post "we will see a new smaller iPad, new iMac, and I hope a new Thunderbolt Display later today"

I was talking about how a mini would be great, then how I think it's strange that a new iPad is released so quickly, but I didn't explain myself too well.

Nice. What mouse mat is that?

It's an icemat. They are discontinued now I think. It's a piece of glass that's been coated. Best mouse mat I've had. I used to wear through them, but this has lasted 7 years or so!

Yes, it is a great helicopter. I bought a different one and could hardly get it to fly correctly.

And avoiding my :apple:

screen is my main concern when flying it

It is actually something I and a few others recently came up with after not being able to find a suitable solution for our own desks.
