Let's try this again with correct-sized photos
Okay, so I'm a recent (even though I WISHED it were more than just being recent) PC to Mac convert. I also have OCD tendencies.
here is my set up beforehand:
Messy, messy. Shameful.
HERE is my set up now:
What I have - Macbook White 250 GB, iPod Video Black 30GB in a Lime Green iSkin case, an HP Deskjet D1560 Printer (about the ONLY thing I've owned from HP that hasn't made me want to shoot myself), and a set of JBL Pro Speakers. I've had the desk a while and can't remember where I got it from - replacing it soon anyway.
How you like the new Unibody MacBook?Just to let you know,the case scratches everywhere even with just closing the lid and don't drop it or the corners bend in and screw up your hinges and if dropped on the hinges your screen may just snap off.....
Just FYI.
(I HATE the new MB)(I HATE mine and new 13" Pro here I come.)
That bad ? I would have thought that it at least compared favorably to the former (non-unibody) Macbook ? Yes?
Just wanted to say I enjoy watching this thread a lot...keep the pic's coming guys! I'll show my setup once I actually get the 17" Macbook Pro i7 ! (or i5 or whatever the heck it's gonna be...)
My turn!
Ok so i have been watching this thread for a while now and i must say i am very impressed!!! i think its about time i got my setup out!!! (sorry for the poor picture quality my proper camera's battery was flat so i had to use the Iphone!
So i have an aluminium macbook (release model) connected to:
i also have my PS3 connected to the monitor for the occasional game of MAG.
Heres another piccy of the main layout:

So i have an aluminium macbook (release model) connected to:
- Samsung SyncMaster P2270HD 22" Full HD monitor
- Logitech Z4 2.1 speakers
- Apple wired keyboard
- Apple magic mouse
- Logitech C250 Webcam (for use with ichat as i cant use the built in isight with this setup!)
- Iphone dock
- Western Digital 1Tb ext HDD
i also have my PS3 connected to the monitor for the occasional game of MAG.

No,not even half as durable.I hate mine,it fell not even a foot last night and screwed up my hinges for good and it rubs now.
That looks very nice. What are the monitors being held up by? Do you have a special arm for it, or are they just using the standard stand supplied with them?
Special LCD arms, not the stands... the two on the left are on an Innovative Office dual-LCD arm for "large" monitors, and the third on the right is on an Ergotron LX so I can swing it out of the way to access the Mac easily.
What is that round thing beside your keyboard and why are your keys black? It's juste awesome
The round thing looks like a SpaceNavigator mouse which is used with CAD, Maya, and other 3D modeling programs. It allows for ease of environmental navigation that a standard mouse cannot.
And @b1akdragun, lovely setup. I especially like how you used the riser off to the side as opposed to dead center like most people do. Really really looks great.
honestly, I have loved Apple products for a long time and after the headaches from owning PCs for such a grueling amount of years, I'll take the small issues that come with a Mac. honestly, I haven't had any issues at all and I find the Macbook a lot more visually appealing and easy to clean than any PC I've ever had
might want to resize the pics and post them with TIMG tags (just a little friendly advice from someone else who posts jumbo sized pics

1024x768 is a jumbo pic? Didn't think anyone ran resolutions that small anymore.
maybe it's just me, but i don't use all of my screen space just for my browser i have stuff (chat windows etc) hanging around it as well so i try to have as small of a browser window as possible, but i don't feel the need to complain like some people that they had to scroll to the right a couple inches.
How has the ASUS MS238 been? Any problems or inconveniences? I've been considering one for a couple of months now.
It has been great. The only problem i found is a slight backlight bleed. Nothing too serious only noticeable on an all black screen and definitely not as bad as the new imac and its not very adjustable (only 25 % tilting, no rotating and such. Other than that everything else is great especially colors.
Really great for the price.
