Anyone ever heard of Maxell?

Yeah but do people ask "hey what poster is that?" And is the answer EVER "oh Ipana toothpaste?" I doubt it.

That's true!
2007 Santa Rosa Macbook 4gigs of ram and 320HD
28" Hanns-g monitor
Nice setup, it's sort of like mine. Except mine is the 08 aluminum c2d mb. i only got a 23" monitor though too. Nice setup. I like your desk!
My problem with those all glass desks it that its very hard to hide cables, especially if you have a billion of them. =(
I've been considering picking one of those up, and have heard good things. How do you like the monitor?
thanks! i need to take a better picture. The iphone doesn't do it justice.
I have this hinkey http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10146078item from IKEA. it hides most of the cables but of course you can see a few in the photo.
the price is nice. and the colors are great. But when you stretch 1900X1200 to 28 inches, everything looks pretty large. go to an apple store and set a 27" imac to 1900X1080 and you'll see what i mean.
And the stand is a little too high and unstable. I do plan to wall mount it. But you really can't beat the price.
I'll take 16:10 over 16:9 any day.
My roommate has the same 28" monitor and the quality is ok for the price. It's definitely not my first choice for photo or video editing.
I've got the last-generation of this monitor. At the point when I purchased, the last-gen had 5 stars on NewEgg, the new one had four, there were many more reviews for the old one, and the old one was $30 cheaper, so it was kind of a no-brainer.
I'm not sure setting a 27" iMac to 1920x1080 will really give the same experience, at least in terms of quality, since it will be quite pixellated. Yes, items are bigger, but the Hanns-G is really a gaming monitor, not a productivity monitor (though I use it for gaming only about 1% of the time
).On my older monitor, the stand is the perfect height for me. I can simply move my exes from the left to the right or top to the bottom, never need to move my head. I still plan to get an Ergotron arm though, the kind that clamps to a desk, simply because I want to move it further back but my desk prevents me from doing that (not that it needs it...).
16:10 is def. the way to go. But sometimes I think I should have got that high-res, 23" Dell that does 2048x1152, even if it is 16:9, simply because those extra 500,000 pixels could come in handy
The Dell is also around the same price, $300, but it likes to wildly fluctuate. While I was tracking the price on Dell's website, I saw it go between $220 and $380, and it seemed to change weekly.Oh yeah and the Dell has more connectivity options and a webcam. But I still love my Hanns-G
EDIT: While I was typing, I thought it seemed like a lot of writing... but full-screened on the 28", it looks like nothing
It's a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet.
Here's the newer, Intuos4. http://www.wacom.eu/index2.asp?pid=245&lang=en

Repainting the room/house is next, with some wall art to finish it off.
You live in paradise, you do realize that, right?
Just got my 13" MBP 2.4GHz on tuesday! Love it. First mac too.
Currently using my 26" screen as my main display. I've ordered wall mounts for that to go in front of my bed instead of here and I'll get a 23" for the computer display I think.
My set-up is no where near as nice as some of the ones in here though;

Iv'e been to Greece many times before and I can tell you that every place has it's own paradise and it's own hell hole.
Here is the site where I got the original.
