Cool setup. What keyboard is that and how's it work for ya?
I got the wireless mouse and keyboard together a while ago. It's a Logitech Cordless MX Duo. When I got it I had troubles connecting them but after you get it they work perfectly.

So after looking at this thread since its early days, I am just now getting around to posting my setup. It has changed a bunch since the start of this thread (The MBP didn't even exist then). These pics are up to date, just took them three days ago. I didn't have time to clean off my desk, I was actually using these pics to show a friend in Australia what my new setup is like.

So that's a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo MBP with 2 GB RAM, 120 GB 5400 RPM HD, iCurve, Apple BT Keyboard, G7 Laser Mouse, 20" 2005FPW Dell Monitor, Sennhieser HD 280 Headphones, 1 GB black nano, 160 GB 7200 External HD connected via FW 400, JVC Mini DV/ VHS Deck combo connected via FW 400 through External HD, Brenthaven Metro Black case, V3 RAZR, and some more smaller things. I must thank all the marketplace supporters that helped me get rid of my old treasures to get my new ones. ;) Oh and I just turned 18 April 9th.

How's that JVC Mini-DV/SVHS combo working for you (and what model is it?) I looked at picking one up, but I've heard that the Mini DV functionality in JVC's combo decks isn't much good... What's your experience?

Awesome setup for fourteen! I'm 15 and hopefully by next year my setup will look like that, only with a 20" ACD instead of your black LCD. :)
Yeah, I wish I waited for the Intel iMac to have DVI support. :(

Oh well, I love my G5. :D

im not goin to rack on people to much because im not exactly living in a shack.. but its pretty ridiculous how these 14,15 and 16 year people have multiple 1000$+ computers and are already managing their own businesses.

It's called "drug dealing" and is apparently very lucrative. ;)

Thanks dude, I've replied to your PM.

I've got rid of the iBook now though, I had to get a Windows one for work purposes although I think I'm going to get a Macbook at the some point when they come out because I'll be able to use XP with it, thus negating the need for the Windows only laptop!

I'll probably be looking to get rid of the iMac Rev B, when the Intel PowerMac's come out - I'm hoping to get either a 23" or 30" ACD with one and that will be my setup for a long time!
 
I participate in those promotions you see online that say click here and get a free ipod. It is true they are a pain in the ass and the average person would have no idea how to complete these requirements. But with someone like me who ha figured out hte system it pays off. I have made over 20,000$ in free stuff and cash within a year.

Hh-hrm.:cool: . Care to share what you do?


I wanna know :D


Heheh, I work for a company here in the UK called National Grid Gas. I basically sit behind a monitor all day - quite boring really! I wish it was more interesting!

Although, I'm thinking of joining the RAF in the next couple of years.
 
Changed my setup around a little bit. Moved the 360 down to lower shelf to allow for PS3 and Mac Mini to share the top. (^_^)

Well, I sold my Creature II Speakers since I figured out I was an idiot for not hooking up my Mac Mini to my Dobly Surround system so that's why you no longer see them in my setup.

Yeah, I am 13 turning 14 this may, and for my birthday I hope to get my ram maxed out, [and] or a new cell phone. It took me 5 bloody grueling months to save up the $1400 for this.... Paid for it myself gladly.

Just got it last month, and the day I got it my parents teased me by walking really slowly in the mall to the apple store.... I have it now and life is good. :D

Now I need a notebook to go with it. *counts pocket change*
 
I'm selling my NEC to get money for a MBP or MB so here is my "transition" setup. :)



My new Screen:


And my dads projector that he doesnt use:

Its in a door in my desk. and I close it up when I'm not using it. :)
edit: And that would be my leg on the left.
