Your DREAM setup

I have mine, really. MacBook Pro with lots of RAM, Logitech VX Revolution, decent monitor, 1TB of external hard drives, and good sounding speakers.

I dont know what mine is.

At the moment, I'm saving indefinitely for a new Mac, but I don't want one of the current line up. Guess we'll have to see what Sir Steve gives us in the next year.
 
I'd love a base Mac Pro with 8gb ram with a pair of nvidia 9800gx2's, a 30" cinema display and a macbook air.

because liking macs must mean you should hate all things PC-ish, even if they'd otherwise be cool. right?

no, because they look like the regular mouse and keyboard you get with a pc.. If there was a keyboard for pc that i like i wouldn't say this. Like the optimus maximus (i know it's also avaible for mac).

now THAT is a cool keyboard. (and the photo made me think of it)
 
how can you post a pic of your dream setup!? unless you post a pic of someone else's setup

mine would be

- Mac Pro, 3.2GHz, 1TB of disk space (2x 500GB 7200rpm HDDs), 8GB of RAM, 8800 GT, RAID card, dual optical drives, dual 23" ACDs, Aperture
- Logitech G51 5.1 speakers
- Final Cut Studio
- Logic Studio
- 1TB Mercury Elite Pro

TOTAL - US$11682
 
I'd love a 2.4GHz 15" MBP with 4GB RAM and no iSight.

Also, an iPhone.

And an Air to swat people over the head with.

And a 23" ACD.

And a computer exactly like Lord Blackadder's.
 
I believe my dream setup would be similar to this:



Five 30" ACDs on his desk, and 12 30" Dells on the wall. Of course he's running Windows on everything, which is lame...I'd have to have the uber Mac-Pro at the desk.
 
I'm starting to place some of my income aside to build up a nice budget to get my dream setup.

Current setup is 24" Al iMac base with 4GB ram, and a PB G4 on the road.

By the end of the year my setup will be Mac Pro 3.0Ghz, 4-8GB, 1TB in one HDD sled, with backups in the others that will come later, NVIDIA 8800GT, and, to start out, 1 30" ACD, which will be accompanied by another in the future.

The RAM upgrade will come after purchase.

Then for the road I'm looking at a 1.8 MBA without the SSD, no use - too expensive for such a non-powerhouse-of-a-computer.
 
I swear I just posted my dream setup in another dream setup thread, but here we go 😱

iMac 24" with everything top notch. (But with a REAL GPU)
MacBook Air (1.8 SSD model)
iPhone 3G 16GB
 
13.1" MacBook Pro 4GB/200GB@7200rpm/6h battery life capable of driving 30" ACD. That's well enough for me.

You could save money on your dream system by making a few compromises. Instead of ordering iWork, try using neo office, which is a free office suite. That should bring the price down to a more reasonable level.

😉😉😀

But Neo office is so slow (probably not on that machine)
And do not understand me wrong, i'm not going to buy this.
 
A 20" iMac will do me, I don't mind which one (although the higher spec one is preferable).

I just love that machine to bits, and having used Logic on my friend's 24" WhiMac the other day, I want a desktop more than anything at the moment...
