Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 10)

[joaoferro37]

Got a new 2.66 Quad Core.
Used Contour shuttle pro.
Air port extreme base station for my wireless.
Got Stardom Safe Capsule to back up all my files, video and iTune songs via wireless.
Bought a used Epson R280 and ufosystem ink refill system and Epson 3800 with inkrepublic iRefill.
The monitor is a cheap Acer but I also use a Matrox MXO to get the best quality and save render time.

Stardom Safe Capsule

Looks like a good setup, I think I'm going to do something like that.
What's up with UFO? What's the deal with the Stardom Safe Capsule, is that like Time Capsule?

I do not have a time capsule so I don't know but I can use it with time machine and back up my files and share it thru wireless.
I can also connect it to my printer as well.

The ufosystem is a refill ink solution for Epson printers and this is the only that works after I tried more than 10 different solutions from different brands.

how's the my book drive by the way?

 

[SiegbertDH]

This one is annoying as hell to be honest. The major problem is that it doesn't have a power button, so I have always have to unplug it. But the newer MyBooks all have power buttons I believe.

 

[luzkenin]

Yep

this looks SO much like my old apartment!

 

[ApplEngineer]

It looks like the Rain Design's m-stand?

Correct!

And the picture is bad but the desk is the mikael desk with glass top, also picked up the leather pad which works great as a mouse pad.

It's an 8" DIY Qee bear. Here's a link to one you can buy.

I see that many of you has that laptop stand that holds the MBP vertically and closed. Is this safe?

I thought working with the MBP closed isn't very good idea because it doesn't dissipate the hot very well and the screen can be damaged. am i wrong?

And, how can you power on the laptop without open it?

its safe, there is an article on the apple site that describes the process.
just make sure the macbook has power and and display connected.

I like the older setup better.

yea i JUST switched the setup so im still settling into it. however with the single cinema display my workspace is much cleaner. only one power plug and one cable going to the macbook.

my dual monitor setup had so many wires and cables, it was very annoying. also the second monitor was driven by a usb display link adapter and it wasnt very pleasant to use, i found myself using just one monitor most of the time. in fact the monitor on the left was designated as my PS3 monitor so I was already using one.

also with the cinema display i get the isight and a mic. something i did not have before.

Until I go back to my flat in Hastings (I'm currently at my parents, 40 odd miles away), this is my setup :B

 

[xPismo]

my present set up.....i just added the HannsG 28 monitor and the Logitech Vision Pro webcam

How do you like the HannsG? I'm close to buying one myself.

Oh, and any pics with the Ergotron LX Desk mount Arm yet?

 

[netddos]

 

[prodigee]

That is a beautiful setup.

And I am gong to be wildly immature and point out that this is page 69
