Question: What are those reflective/metallic strips on your wall? Wallpaper? Kinda cool.
Hi, the mouspad was pretty cool until I realised my mouse didnt get on with it (the pointer kept jumping). I now have a rubbish 50p rubber thing
With regards to the metallic stripes, yes it is wallpaper. Part of the Tate range. Its retro cool, but not always to everybodys liking. Love it or hate it I guess.

It's a kind of a fake
The one on the right is a PC, I just have it looking like my mac. I use a program called synergy (I pasted the link above), it can share your mouse and keyboard with any other computer on the network, so when I move the mouse to the right edge of my mac, it continues onto the left edge of my pc. Very convient since I still use PC-only apps, but it feels like dual monitors.

Nice "mini tower"
I like the speaker stands too.
These mini setups are so cool.
When Apple gets Front Row on the mini, I'm getting one for my living room home theater setup.

I've tried front row on my mini, and it runs fine. It's just a bit buggy (different DVDPlayer.app etc.) . However, it doesnt do what I really need #PLAY NETWORKED VIDEO_TS FOLDERS#
I've got a 1.5TB media server (win 2k3) with loads of content on it and no way to interface and play it, so I built my own
It uses a Macromedia Director GUI and an applescript backend, only took 2 evenings to get it working. It needs some refining but I might make it available for download once it's done.
just got my refurb mini in the mail, embarassed to say I probably have the worst set up. embarassed

Its sounds like a very good idea, and also looks sharp Tup...
do you use wireless keyboard and mouse to operate? can you buy the new Mac remote to use with it?
That is very sweet! That is exactly what i want for my Mini. Care to share the program?visual said:I've tried front row on my mini, and it runs fine. It's just a bit buggy (different DVDPlayer.app etc.) . However, it doesnt do what I really need #PLAY NETWORKED VIDEO_TS FOLDERS#
