Those of you wondering how I get this stuff, I work for myself doing computer repair and building PCs for people. I also get great deals...for example my MBP cost me $1500 back when it was the current revision, just because I got it on refresh! Most of my iPods I got broken and fixed them except for the nano that cost me $40 on clearance when the new (current) Nanos came out. I don't like my PCs much, but I try to get nice ones to make up for M$ windows.
I really can't get a good pic 'cause I need to buy a new light for my room, being my old one just totally died. I'm thinking of track lighting...

Nice clean setup! how do you like wireless keyboard and mouse? any lag when phone rings or anything?
I love the keyboard and mouse, no lag at all. Replacing the batteries every couple months gets a little annoying, but its totally worth it.
I am rather perplexed as to how these younger kids can afford this kind of hardware. I am 17 and am going to college in like a month. I have been working since I was 15 pretty solid all during the school year and during summer. I did system repair on the side and I charged well for it. I work now at company that does data hosting where I get paid 10 bucks an hour. And even through this, after all the saving, I am still scraping cash together to get a macbook.
There is something that you are leaving out. Do you not have a car? If you do, do you pay insurance? What do you have to pay for?

Amen. I'm 19, going into my second year of college, and I have a Macbook. Seriously, why would anybody need more?
I believe that is a logitec keyboard, but how do you get around the apple/windows keys and the other slight differences? Otherwise a dream setup.
at my house, i have a G5 iMac 2GHz w/ 1.5 G ram - belongs to the family
upstairs i got a G4 "dome" imac with 800MHz processor and 756 mhz ram - belongs to the family as well
my computer is a 2 GHz C2D "BlackBook" with 2G ram

Holy Cow, even MacBook Pros don't have RAM that fast!
j/k, we knew what you meant.
This thread is as bad as this, almost! https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/75540/
Why do people need to quote the same pictures so many times... feels like im scrolling endlessly as people quote the same pictures and it keeps growing. Seriously.

I seem to get by without a problem with my 1.5Ghz 12" PowerBook SuperDrive. I've had it for 2.5 years and it works great for everything for internet to video editing, photoshop, and inDesign. Looking back I can't believe that I spent over $1800 on it compared to the offerings of the current MB. But at the time the iBooks were not what I wanted.
Why you need more than at the most 2 computers is really beyond me. I understand if you get a new one every few years because technology improves, but having multiples of basically the same computer or same speed computer is excessive, a waste of money, and pointless IMHO. I could think of a thousand better things to spend my money on.
And honestly why would I or anyone believe motorazr has all of that stuff. First, what does "or it might as well be" mean. Second you can't take a picture because there isn't a light in your room- i believe that in the 21st century most camera's have things called "flashes". Although these devices do not replicate natural light they help. I can't stand people like this... If you are going to go around being a little liar, go do it elsewhere. I'll believe you when I see pictures, but I highly doubt that will even occur.
Anyways, Glenn Wolsey, beautiful setup, I really like your lights. To dannyallen34 You have a nice one as well, nice iPhone there
.
That said I think that it was a good investment, and will probably upgrade when I graduate HS and go to college. I think it will be a while before it becomes obsolete.
