I noticed a lot of people with mac minis and TB displays, why do you all choose that over an iMac that cost just as much or less, with more power?

Probably because it looks better ;) just kidding they both look good IMO but in the future if they choose to get a MacBook Air or Pro they can connect it to TB and have portability and a desktop at home

Probably because the life expectancy of the TB display is longer than an average computer's.

I didn't go with the iMac over the Mini for a couple of reasons.

1. Monitor will outlast computer.
2. While both can be upgraded, I was not comfortable with removing the screen from the iMac to install an SSD and second hard drive.

I can replace the computer or monitor if needed without having to buy both devices over again.
 
Yeah it's a Lacie external Drive



The desk itself is from ikea, but it's been fairly heavily customised. Orginally it wasn't black. There is more info on what I did and how I did it on my blog here: http://www.gordyhand.co.uk/

I love the desk that's awesome. Also what kind of mousepad is that? I want!

EDIT: Just read your above post... I can't find the original one you have online anywhere :(
