Nice setups everyone.

Are people cleaning their desks before taking pictures? I can't remember the last time my desk was that clean. ;)
 
My new setup ... they were connected to a MBP but just bought a Mac Mini.

C'mon people get some more awesome setups on here! I want to see more cool pics to dream of the setups I could never get (or afford) :D
 
Every time I look at this page I want to buy a Thunderbolt Display, but I don't think my back account will like that... Maybe when I get my tax return
 
I'm using my TB display with a 1.8 ghz 13" MBA with these devices plugged in;
FW800 HD
2 USB hard drives, daisy chained to each other,
Gigabit ethernet
Creative Labs USB external sound card to external speakers.
iPad/iPhone USB cable
Facetime HD camera

That and the monitor video feed all over one thin TB cable.
Plus of course power from the monitor to MBA.
So only two cables plugged into my Air instead of four.

I eliminated a mess of cables, USB hub, and five power cables from my setup. Even though I have other Macs with more procs and memory I prefer my Air for most things.
Well worth the money and a pretty great setup.

Can you post what USB sound card are you connecting to the back of then display? I'm looking for the same exact piece of hardware.
 
Might put up mine as well. I was thinking of putting it on the wall, but I am uncertain if the wall will be able to hold it.

Here's mine:

2011 MBP hooked up to it.

My desk wasn't cleaned before this! I always keep it spotless, at the end of every day I throw away anything on it that doesn't belong there. Keeps me trained ;)

Hidden underneath are 2 GTech 3TB disks for storage and back up.

My setup is almost complete, still contemplating getting a stand and the VESA mount... think I'll wait for a new desk..

13.3 MBA i7 + Aura 6G 240GB SSD
INCIPIO Feather - BLACK
Thunderbolt 27
Gold Privacy Filter for MBA
SGP Black felt Wrist Rest
Evoluent Mouse
Moshi Luna Keyboard
Marware Sportfolio

Now if only the 6500rpm fan issue would be solved.. I'd be a much happier camper.

I say go for the mount. That would look sick.
