The "Chillin' in bed" setup

shvartsies · Apr 19, 2008, 12:57 PM

dude! I have the exact same bedcover!
hahaha

great setup btw, same for me most of the time. I could still see you have dual displays on your desk for getting hardcore once in a while.
What brand TV is that btw?

jay1097 · Apr 19, 2008, 01:45 PM

looks like a sharp Aquos to me

dan7592 · Apr 19, 2008, 02:14 PM

Those sharp aquos sure are nice. Great televisions.

I recently got an HP Pavilion zv5320 to babysit and set up a triple boot of XP, Ubuntu, and OS X for the owner. The behemoth is now on my desk.

I also purchased a Dell E248WFP. It's kinda cool.

Anyway, here they are.

Comments=good. I need to better my layout.

What I would do is buy a notebook stand move the crt off the desk center your dell(which looks cool btw) and then I would say your good and you would have a good setup.

Good catch!

@sukanas: Why don't you move the 'woofer a bit off to the side so you have somewhere to put your feet?

How much are those dell monitors you have?

I'm tempted to get one and run my powerbook in desktop mode or use 2 monitors.

I have an extra viewsonic monitor from a while ago, but it's square and looks horrible especially with the powerbook screen resolution.

I hope you're NOT using it in the mirrored mode?

Revlefty · Apr 19, 2008, 11:19 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. Here's the desktop picture;
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080412.html

The light is just something I ripped off a little waterfall thing I had that stopped working. Getting that light behind the monitor and centered was so freaking hard, I thought it was going to send me over the edge.

The Monitor is 24" and I just raised it a few inches up over where I had it on the stand.

zap2 · Apr 20, 2008, 12:25 AM

Rockin' the PPC Mac, nice OP

Those are starting to get rare(r) on MR these days!

MascisMan · Apr 20, 2008, 01:54 AM
