That looks awesome. Shame you can't use them as two monitors, but it looks great nonetheless.

It is a DiNovo edge. It is by far the best keyboard I have ever used in terms of both comfortability and style. I think it is worth the price since I am not a big fan of the new apple keyboards and logitech makes great peripherals.
It prints very well, mind you it is only B&W. It is extremely quiet and fast as well.
The toner cartridges are like $75 I believe.
Well I am a student so I print a lot of stuff. Cartridges last about 6 months for me.
They are the M-Audio Studiophile AV-40s
M-Audio Studiophile AV-40s. Better sounding that any 2.1 system I've heard, and cheap too.

just curious - why? I'm actually giving away a 1 Ghz emac to a forum member here because I just have no use for it. What could you possibly want with it that your imac wouldn't be 10x better at?
Thats a awsome setup! I love how you placed the two monitors in the bookshelf above the main one, this is aspiring me to do the same in my built in! congrats on the pro to!
OMG. That's genius with the monitors! love it! and congrats on the Mac Pro. If you don't like it, can I have it?
BTW, in response to an earlier post, I had the dinovo edge. It was awful. For a scissor keyboard it had a great feel, but the bluetooth electronics aren't the best and it always was on the fritz. I wish they had a wired version. The keys are also a lot more fragile than most scissor keyboards and it wore out on me after an unacceptably short time for such an expensive piece of board. That said, I do a lot of typing... good riddance.
I don't know if someone already mentioned it but you could use some software to access multiple computers using the same keyboard and mouse. I personally use Synergy, an open-source application.
That eMac is my uni computer, the iMac is the family computer which I'm not allowed to keep in my room.
The eMac isn't used for brilliance, I'm using it for writing essays, etc; simple stuff, not Photoshop and the like, that is done on the iMac.
They're beside each other there because I'm using an ethernet cable to move music from the iMac to the eMac, the eMac is in my room now.
Thanks, it was really simple for me to put them onto the bookshelf, I recommend some strong cooking grade string. 😛 That sounds dangerous but they have been up their for about 5 months without issue so it seems to be doing the job.
Thanks I absolutely love it, so I dont think you can 🙁
Thanks! I found an alternative to Synergy, as I do not have a PC or Linux machine in my setup. Teleport is an all Mac alternative and it is amazing! Everyone should check it out if you have two machines at the same desk 🙂
With such an intricate way of ensuring your monitors look good, it's just unfortunate that you don't really seem to have anywhere to hide that big, clunky and ugly Mac tower.
Have that same keyboard, I used to use it until I bought my alu keyboard. I have since passed it onto my parents to use.
Changed a bit since I joined, out goes the Winbox and in comes my sig 🙂

ah, well that makes sense then. 😉 the pic made it look like you had 'em set up next to each other.
This is an instance in which a Mac Pro doesn't look good on a table. Like previously said, it's a shame you can't put it on the floor. It just looks overbalanced on the desktop. Otherwise, looks good.
Heres mine before I got my thin Apple keyboard. Just found it floating on my HDD so I apologise if I already posted this.
