Everyone 18 & Under Post Your Setups (part 3)

[LEVENDIZ]

Haha i wasn't hating just saying. I clicked the link in your sig and watched that first vid, where are you from that you snowboard with leaves on the trees?

Haha glad you liked my setup then dude. About the snow, that's Australia for you haha, we go in season and it could still be 30 degrees boarding with just a t-shirt. Half the time it's all man made snow because it melts from the weather. The slop could be perfect one week and hardly any snow the next

The setup. Pretty simple, I just got the Acer display recently, now all i need are some decent speakers.

I have had that same desk since spring 2010

 

[J.Appleseed]

My setup - my 8GB iPod nano, 16GB Samsung Galaxy Note and newly purchased 32GB iPad 4 are not in the picture.

What is in the picture is a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with 256GB SSD in a BookArc, connected to a BassJump, an LG IPS237L display and, of course, Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard. Behind the monitor there is an external harddrive enclosure that holds the original 500GB MacBook harddrive.

X-post from the original setup thread.

I cleaned up my desk just now (yay for cable management!).

I'd recommend the TwelveSouth BookArc and BassJump to everyone that uses a MacBook. They're absolutely great accessoires.

Do you have any other external speakers or just the BassJump? I'm thinking of having a similar setup to yours (maybe different brand of monitor) and was wondering if the MacBook speakers would be enough.

The MacBook speakers most definitely are enough when combined with the BassJump. Excellent sound production for the regular user, I suppose.

I'd say go for it! You'll enjoy it, no doubt

Thanks. I guess it could mess up the whole left/right thing, but that'd only matter really if you're playing a game and need to hear where something's coming from.

I assume so, yes. I don't really use my computer for gaming other than The Sims 3 or SimCity, haha

Haha, we all know thats not your setup buddy. Look at your profile, this is your first post and you only just joined recently. Nice try though.

So, just because he just joined the forums, and this is his first post, you're accusing him of lying? Seems like a warm welcome. I'm not sure he would make an account just for the sake of trying to impress Apple-fanboys on here. Of course, I could be wrong though, but I hope that's not the case.

Even if that's the case, why bother? He's only fooling himself

OT: Modified my setup a bit and got some new goodies

The first picture shows a 13-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011, 2.4 GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), connected to a 23" LG IPS237L display. Behind the display is the MacBook's original 500GB harddisk in an external casing for Time Machine-backups and some extra storage.
The laptop stands in a TwelveSouth BookArc and is also connected to a TwelveSouth BassJump 2 (which stands behind the iPad).
Said iPad is a 32GB iPad 4 (Wi-Fi) with a brown leather smart cover (original Apple, although the 'tan' leather has been waxed so that it matches my leather bag and flip cover for my phone).

Next to the Wireless Keyboard, there's a 16GB Samsung Galaxy Note which is my daily driver phone. It runs a stock version of Android 4.2.2, in case you're interested
Furthermore, there is a Magic Mouse, Apple Remote and 8GB iPod nano (4th generation) on my desk.
Not visible is a 2.5" 500GB Western Digital harddisk which contains all of my media (films, photos) but that's about it.

This is my little book shelve, by the way, which I use to store all my packaging. I think it's handy to keep all of that stuff in case you want to get rid of it, but since it looks good as well... why not?

 

[Orange Furball]

Finally switched things up. Took around 10 hours to build the shelves and set everything up. Worth it 100%!

I know I know.. I had a really nice one that my cat destroyed, so now I'm loving with a very uncomfortable (but cat proof) chair

Why would one lie about what they have on their desk haha, plus like I stated, most of it is now gone due to buying my first car. Good job pal!

So what does you current setup look like now then? Pics?

What is wrong with you? If he is lying, that is his problem, if he wants to show off - that is his problem, not yours. What is the difference how his set up looks right now? Again, not your problem.

But wait...

Haven't read this thread in FOREVER.

Chill dude. It doesnt concern me and i properly shouldnt have made the comment in the first place. So what i made a mistake, get over it. Maybe he does have the setup, maybe he doesnt, im not sure. It just seems like a awful lot for a kid to be honest. Maybe i wrong and he worked his ass of for it. End of discussion.

Posted this in the Windows setup thread, but I'm 17 so it belongs here too!

Nothing fancy. I only bought the monitor that is on the desk. The rest were given to me/taken from my school (they gave me permission of course)

So here are the pictures. Specs and what is here will be after

It's honestly nothing fancy.

The desktop is obviously custom. It was what I could afford at the time. I recently bought a new motherboard, case, and graphics card.

Here are all the parts

ASRock H61MV-ITX motherboard. Cheap!
Intel Core i5 2310 CPU
HIS AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz ed. 2GB
Corsair Builder series CX500 500W PSU
64GB Corsair boot SSD (don't know the model)
1TB Seagate storage drive
250GB WD Blue hard drive, for Android stuff
ASUS DVD-RW drive
Bitfenix Prodigy case (Orange of course!)
And that's it!

Mouse: Logitech Performance MX
Keyboard: Logitech G510
Microphone: Samson Meteor Mic
Headphones: Beats Solo HD
Joystick: MadCatz v.1 or something...
Controllers: generic 360 controller and the Guitar Hero X-plorer (not pictured)
Drink cooling device: USB Mini Fridge
Monitors: Acer S200HL, HP 2009 19" monitor, VIZIO 22" TV

Now for the Mac portion

11" MacBook Air 2011

Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz
4GB RAM
128GB SSD

Mouse: BlueTooth Mighty Mouse
Headphones: Apple EarPods
DVD drive: LG DVD-RW external drive
Monitor: old Dynex (I think) 19" TV. It works ok

That's the Mac setup.

Other devices:

OUYA Game Console

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (hopefully to be traded soon!)

iPhone 5 16GB Black and Slate

There is also a pair of BlueTooth Plantronics Backbeat GO headphones

The rest of the stuff is just random junk.

There are some really nice setups in here. when I was 17 it wasnt common at all for everyone to have a computer. the internet itself was still in its infancy. most companies back then didnt even have a website. now such a thing is unheard of. There was no broadband either. just dialup. most people would cry if they had dialup now. along time has past since i paid 1300 dollars for my 166 mhz machine. not ghz. mhz.

how I see people with watercoolered godzilla machines. man times have changed. things are so much better then what they were. it is fun to say though i remember when there was no internet. people look at you and gasp. no internet? geeze what did you old timers do. we went outside. remember outside?

 

[0000757]

It's not much compared to some of the stuff in this thread, but here's an update on my desk situation.

-iPad 1 32GB (iOS 5.1.1)

-Western Digital MyBook 1TB External Hard Drive

Haha, yeah, this thread makes me feel so old. I think I may try to find some old photos of my setups.

I remember shopping for my first computer (which I purchased with my own money) and I was making a huge deal about it needing two cd drives.

I had these foam letter stickers and put them all over the monitor (the plastic, not the screen) and I thought it was so cool.

My God.. it was so tacky.

Okay the old lady is done reminiscing.

Great setups, young folks.

Congrats to those who have actually purchased it all themselves. And good for you to the kids whose parents purchased it for them.

There's nothing wrong with either one and i'm surprised at adults coming in to this thread and making comments about kids having all these computers and asking why they need them.

Honestly, most adults on this forum probably don't need their setup either. Hell, I have a 27" iMac, a Macbook Pro, an iPad Mini and an iPhone 5. I rarely use the MBP and Mini.

And now the old lady is done acting like an old lady, period.
