Heh, yeah the MX1000 was great. It feels like a brick now after being so use to the MX Revolution. The MX1000 gives me wrist problems now O_o, it never use to. Perhaps its because the MX Revolution is so incredibly light.

Love the Focus project. http://gordyhand.co.uk/gallery/v/cas...00561.jpg.html

Yeah I was the same, it is just to heavy now. Its sat on the shelf looking very sad.

Thanks the focus still is one of my favourite modding jobs I've done. It now sit on the glass shelf under my tv and never ceases to get people asking what it is. They are nearly always surprised when I say a computer

Monitor is a Acer AL1912: VGA in and 1280x1024 - I want to upgrade this when possible.
Speakers are JBL creature speakers - very good speakers, look cool too.
Camera: Canon Powershot S2 IS.
iPod 40gig photo - with Seinheiser CX300 headphones.
MacMini (see sig)
Mouse: Logitech MX518, not perfect for the Mac, but better than the single button mouse that came with the mini.
Netgear Wireless router.
MacBook (see sig)

Out of sight:
Behind the monitor is a LaCie firewire HDD - 80gigs used for backups of the mini.
Also a drive enclosure containing the original 80gig HDD from my Macbook, used for backing up the home area of my MacBook
Belkin KVM for switching between the MacBook and Mini. Used to be connected to my PC below the desk, a Athlon 1.4Ghz with 512mc RAM running Ubuntu. That's not even plugged in anymore, mostly used as a physical barrier between the mess of wires and my kid.
Up top is a Lexmark X85 all in one printer/photocopier/fax/scanner.

The bike on the screens is my Kawasaki ZXR750. Mister Jobs and Mr Kawasaki duke it out for the money left over after the wife and child (and bank, and mortgage)

Its custom made by me from parts so they don't sell it as a whole pc. You may be able to source the parts, the motherboard is made by commell and is a lv-677, which is definitly sold in the USA. The case however is made in the UK and as far as I'm aware no where will ship them to the states.

Scan sell in them UK http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...Thumbnails=yes in varying colours, the one I have is the cubit 3 , the manufacturer is http://www.hoojum.com , though I know they have stopped making at least some of their cases. Whether the company is still going I don't know.

Hope that helps.

A pretty simple photo of my first Mac.

Unfortunately I don't have a good photo of the whole setup. I usually use my Macbook all over the place, but when I do use it at my desk it sits next to my Dell Dimension 4600 desktop and Acer AL1916W monitor, Logitech G15 keyboard, and Logitech Z-2300 speakers (which usually end up plugged into the Macbook's optical audio out as I am constantly listening to music). The red and silver thing in the back is my Alesis Micron synthesizer.

More photos of the whole setup when it gets cleaned up and looks a little tidier.

Here was my setup last night

1.83 GHz Core Duo Mac Mini, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HD, 160 GB External HD, 14" CRT Monitor (or something like that, never really measured it)

and

800 MHz iBook G3, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HD, 12.1" screen.

And in the top, 1st gen 1 GB Shuffle

Sorry for the bad pics, it was a combination of shaky hands and forgetting to turn off the super close up option.

Telp · May 14, 2007, 11:30 PM

Id be embarrassed to post a picture of my setup but Average Setup would be

? HP Printer/copier/scanner/faxer left side of desk (with all my mini DV tapes up against it)

? 17" 1.8 GHz imac G5 with 1.25GB RAM

? iPod Nano 1G Black

? iPod Mini 2G Silver

? Random speakers
