Haha! Looks strangely familiar to my setup LonelyCake!
I guess that means I wasn't being very original.

Great setup. What kind of shelves are these?

Junior Year, newest addition: 32" Sanyo

Wish I could make it neater, but what to expect from a college dorm

Love the Kumi poster! I was just listening to her debut album the other day. God I miss her old style. With the exception of Kingdom, I haven't been to pleased with the newer albums. :/

here come all the "how do you open the disc tray with a sticker covering it?" questions.

I was thinking I might later on switch to a L desk, is it good for workspace flow?

Exactly. All her new singles are utter ****. And all we have to look forward to is another BEST ~whatever universe~ compilation album.

I bought mine direct from Apple, I used my student discount too.
Just find a college student to let you use their discount, then you
get it right from Apple, free shipping too. There is Tax, but
it works out to be the same as buying it somewhere else, but you
get it directly from Apple.

I bought the base model, upgraded the ram and HD to a 500gb one,
and I am in the process of selling the old HD and Ram on Ebay.
If anyone is interested:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...231956&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_990
Honestly I would if I were you, buy the base model and slap 4 gigs of ram
into it and sell the old 2 gigs that comes with it. Then replace the Hard drive at the same time with a 7200rpm 500gb. Then you get the upgrades
for only 50-70 bucks, after getting money back from selling the old components.
It's a fairly easy and well documented process upgrading the Mini too,
ifixit.com has complete guides, just search Mac Mini in the search box
on that site.

Thank you!
I honestly have no idea. We just saw them and put them in the cart without even thinking. I don't even think they're from Ikea. Ha. I know they were pretty cheap though! Sorry!

How do you like it? What do you use it for? I've used one of those on the PC for solidworks editing (CAD) and I really liked it, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for on a mac...

So far I love it, mind you I've only had it for about a week. I use it for 3Ds Max mainly, but have used it in programs such as RealFlow and ZBrush, although those two don't allow you to use all the buttons, but the whole "exploring 3d land" aspect to it is simply amazing. I typically do 3d architecture and it helps me get around inside these tiny rooms soooo much faster.

I wrote a quick review for it on my website: http://www.tjunkers.com/blog/?p=266

Thanks for the post but the flipclock's link is not working, I get an internal error message, is there another way to download this screensaver?

 

[Krafty]

Ok cool, I'm from Mass and I'm attending Georgia Tech

Cool. I'm starting to hate this school since this is the second time at the dorms that the internet is slow, and now its completely cut in most rooms. I'm in the computer lab and its still crawling.

Thanks for the post but the flipclock's link is not working, I get an internal error message, is there another way to download this screensaver?

Probably since I posted it here, everyone rushed and crashed it. I don't know of an alternative, sorry.

Heres my current setup: I don't think I've posted with everything the way it is right now...

Sorry for the bad image quality, my office area is very dim...I need to get some more lights.
