damn that's hot! does that sound too weird??
really nice setup you've got there my friend!
Heres mine, Hackintosh 2.4Ghz Core 2 Due with 4GB Ram and 2x 1TB HDD's on a 22' Samsung and a 17' Sony. 32gb iPod Touch (1st gen). The Macbook is a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo hooked up to the TV (a 32' Aquos) for use as a media server. The Speakers are Axiom M60's running through a Harmen Karden AVR354. PS3 as well. I just graduated college and recently moved home, hence no class = not much laptop use, so I just keep it hooked up above the TV for the most part. The speakers were a graduation gift (the best one i got might I add).

Sorry for the crappy pic, my sis borrowed my cam and has yet to return it. Hence my sole reliance on iPhone's cam
This will probably be my setup for a while because my bank account needs time to heal
PS That glare in the second pic disappears when you actually sit in front of the monitor

I have really been debating selling my iMac and going with a MBP + 24" monitor. I have been using a laptop and monitor setup at work and it has been working out fine. Your setup is awesome.
I would trade it in as for what most people do with computers these days a laptop can handle it fine... plus you will have the fctor of portability when and if you need it. I guess the only downfall is its extra £££ and also perhaps more wires?
I was in the same position. I sold an HP laptop and a Custom Built Gaming Rig and bought my 13" uMBP and Monitor. Best move I ever made.
Personally, I don't think it's worth it if you're buying the 24" Apple display. It's ridiculously expensive. Personally, I'd go with a Desktop + Laptop combo. It will usually cost less, and you get two computers instead of one. If I were you I would keep the iMac, and get a netbook or a used MB/MBP. It would cost only as much as, if not less than, a 24" Display, and you get to keep your current desktop computer, which is probably more powerful than any laptop you would consider buying.
so there is someone else who likes wasabi!
jw, where do you get the giant cans at? I can get the small ones at wal-mart, but to get the big ones I have to go to the Japanese market@techno96, blur your wifi router access password. If someone gains your IP, its very easy to hack Linksys routers, cause of their CGI interface/coding.

May I ask what your connection to Schoolkidz is?
I work for them and no one outside Schoolkidz knows what it is, so its just exciting to see.

haha! nice, i got a school supplies kit from them for my school! i didn't like the pencils though, Dixon!!! u guys need Ticonderoga the erasers on the dixons dont work their like pink rubber that doesnt do anything lol. but ohterwise it was great, i would have picked other items but it was really convenient.
that pad came with the kit. But that just goes to show, what a small world lol i mean out of all the people, its just really cool
It is a small world indeed.
And also we do sell Ticonderoga pencils. The schools choose what brands of particular products they want. We have approximately 30 different types of pencils.
hah i figured it was a school thing lol. But im sorry if it sounded like i was being mean to you or directed that to you. I was just saying, sorry if that came out the wrong way
I did exactly that. I absolutely loved my iMac and I'm happy with the switch. I got the LED cinema display because of the convenience and it works very well.

I live in Baltimore, and my local supermarket, I forget if it was Giant or Safeway had them in big cans, point is there were no ducks hanging in the window wherever I bought them
This is a photo of my setup when I was back home... yes I LOVE black, lol

we just had new carpet put in the hole upstairs of the house, so I thought it would be wise to snap a shot before it reverts back to my normal desk.
