What's your dream computer set up?
* (Within reason and within reach of today's technology).

Already have your dream set up, photo's welcome!


I'm getting very near my dream set up, it consists of:

Mac Pro w/ ACD - office
15" MBP - home office / den
13" MBP - travel (used to be a MBA)
iPad 3G
 
I had mine once - but sold it to get my business off the ground (now saving hard to get it back).

But this is it:

iPad 3G 32GB ~ for the car
iMac 27 i5 8GB + 2nd LCD Screen ~ for my 'office' (ok bedroom)
Mac Mini 4GB 2.26 ~ for the lounge (on the TV)
FW800 2x2TB RE4GP Drives (JBOD) ~ hooked up to the mac mini as backups
FW800 2x2TB RE4GP Drives RAID1 ~ on the iMac (for work and TC)
Adobe CS5 Design Premium (Student ed) on the iMac (I have everything else)

That would suit me perfect

(Used to use a Mac Pro 2008, 8x2.8 18GB 30" LCD 4xSAS + NAS Box with 3TB RAID5 and a mac mini coreDuo on the TV with a 13" MBP for mobility)

Currently on the Powermac G4 (and the two PC's I am selling to help fund the iMac).
 
Mac Pro (to replace my dual core G5)
Black MacBook (to replace my current 2.4 black MacBook. Apple damn well better make black ones again)
 
I think I'm pretty much there with what I've got in my signature. It would be nice to get a bigger ACD when those become available. But I'm pretty happy here.

Nice!

Do you use your 15" MBP as your mobile machine?
 
-Maxed out Macbook Pro, either 13 or 15".
-Insanely high-end home built PC. Only I'm not sure what the best of the best is these days! Last time it was a 4870x2, so I should get back into it 😀. Single display, Apple keyboard, Razer mouse, iPod touch (next gen one).

Yes, seriously Apple.

My dream setup:
- Mac Pro with triple >=24" monitors on a nice mounting system, this will handle my heavy lifting
- Mac Mini as a media station
- 15" Macbook Pro, i7 for on-the-go power
- as lee said, a black Macbook with current tech standards for classes, presentations, travel, etc.
