GhostStand arrived today:

I had the exact same setup apart from with a 13" MBA. I liked the way it look but couldn't deal with having the screen that far away. Plus I liked to be hands on with the device. So now the keyboard stand and mouse are collecting dust!

For the past 6 months or so my 17'' iMac G4 has just been sitting around in my bedroom being a dust collector. I cleaned it out, installed a 250GB HD, installed OS X Leopard and it now runs Spotify and iTunes as a music system in my dinning room, working like a charm. I'm rather pleased with it and the Apple Pro Speakers sound pretty impressive for their age and size.

Man, I freaking love this. lol.

I've just finished rejigging my setup. We've got a MBP and two minis all connected via gigabit ethernet. I've had to do some serious cat proofing but the little buggers are still eating cables. I've already gone through 5 powerbricks for the MBP.


setup1.jpg


Mini Server - 1.5 Core Solo version upgraded to a 2Ghz C2D, 3Gb RAM and a 250Gb Hitachi HDD running 10.6 Server.

Hanging off the FW400 port is a NewerTech G-Max RAID which stores all our home and business stuff and will be backed up to one of the drives sitting above it. There's also a 720Gb WD drive that's for TM across the network.

The Airport Extreme connects wirelessly and runs the old school Kenwood amp. There's also a big printer/scanner on the filing cabinet that connects via ethernet. The cabling needs another BlueLounge cable box, it's scary how much space cabling takes up!

The new 2012 mini is my wife's with her funky keyboard. It's a povo spec 2.5Ghz i5 with 4Gb and 500Gb HDD. I might buy an 8Gb stick for it and leave it at that. She just uses it for finance and word so no reason to go nuts.

I've got a 2010 2.4Ghz C2D MBP 13" in a great little stand. Upgraded with an 120Gb OWC SSD, 500Gb WD Black in the optical bay and 8Gb. Runs faster than a stock base model i7 iMac so I'm just going to hang onto it until it dies.

And over on the far right are the two cord chewing bastards ;)

You might need proper stands for your monitors

Not much of a change otherwise, but got a G4 cube. Thinking of getting an 2009 mini and using its parts to build a web surfing desktop/file server in the cube outfit..

Just moved into my new house. Dioder light kit from IKEA, MP 2010 HD7870, 27" ACD. Drobo 5D in the corner next to my cable/adapter/tool bin.

I like the organizing drawer system. May I ask where'd you get it?

Sears I believe, free on Black Friday about 10 years ago. They are designed to hold nuts, bolts and other misc small hardware (search for hardware organizer)
Here is something similar on amazon: Link

Yeah, it's hard to find something that matches at different heights. If you know of anything adjustable and doesn't look like it's made for 4 year olds, let me know!

I have to say I do like that lockscreen, how do you do that?

Or is it a screensaver?

It's an iOS 7 screensaver I found on 9to5mac a few months back. Can be used with any image. Also slowly pans in and out giving the illusion of movement, much like the parallax feature in iOS 7
