I LOVE them. Couldn't find anything that sounded better for the size, plus they were on sale at BB & I had a gift card from my Bday

Check out Amazon or DoubleSight.

Small updates since my last post. Swapped out the 23" ACD for 2x 20" ACDs.

Switched to my BT keyboard. Less cables = Epic Win.

That is a beastly setup.

How much did Best Buy have the ACDs on clearance for? It's awesome that you managed to score them on clearance. They are great monitors. I'd pick one up in a heartbeat if I saw it discounted.

It runs Word, Mail, and Stickies like you wouldn't believe. haha

It ended up being about 60% off retail

What sort of adapter do you use i have been looking but cant seem to find anything in the uk

I have been using the Xtreme Xlink adapter. I got it through Amazon here in the states.

That is one sexy setup..!

I really want to buy a 20" ACD. I really do wish Apple still sold them..

Mine

This is my mac setup... sorry about the quality of the photos.
It's 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Late 2008 Macbook.
With a brew... but will probably be replaced with a glass of whiskey later

I saw the display 20" ACD for $360 a couple weeks ago at my local bestbuy, other might be doing the same.

i7 27'' with pivoted NEC 24'' Multisync (mini displayport to DVI adapter)

As I can't stand neither the Apple keyboard nor the magic or mighty mouse I am still using my Logitech diNovo Edge and MX Air. Actually when trying out the Magic Mouse I waved it through the air, quickly realizing the a "normal" mouse cannot be controlled by pointing it around in mid air. LOL

Here. But the artist has made this image a print only, so there is no download. Perhaps you can find it elsewhere on the internets.

Edit: My bad

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to look into it.

How are you linking that USB graphics adapter? I was thinking of getting one. How well does it work? Thanks.

I love them, i originally only had one but i bought a second one since i loved it so much. the resolution is 2048 by 1152 so i can fit a lot of stuff on the screen

Its some off brand tube amp from ebay

How are you linking that USB graphics adapter? I was thinking of getting one. How well does it work? Thanks.

its pretty good. it doesnt do quartz extreme so some animations such as minimize and maximize are choppy but everything else is pretty good. video looks good i wouldnt watch 1080p content but it handles youtube and flash very well. it could be because my monitor is 2048 by 1152 havent tried a lower resolution monitor on it yet.

hey guys...
i'm new around here...
i saw all the amazing setup you guys have there..
and i have to say.. it must be a real work to keep it tidy like that day to day
heheheh
one thing though...
i noticed some of you are still using the old apple keyboard..
the one /before/ the current aluminum keyboard...
is there any kind sould out there who can tell me where to get that keyboard? assuming someone still sells those keyboards
i like the aluminum keyboard.. but it's too small for my taste..
hehehhee
it's great that it feels like a laptop keyboard.. but sometimes i need a real keyboard with real huge keys
