I'm headed into town tomorrow to pick some up for that very reason! I connect to the internet via ethernet as the signal from our router is a little slow up in my room, and that horrible long ethernet cable is the only one I can find. Need to pick up a shorter one and then sort out all my cables :p Also going for a Griffin Elevator as well I think.
 
That's nothing, my setup in 2007 had far more cables strewn everywhere. They're all hidden behind my desk with zip ties now, though. :)

This is my travel set up too...

A lot of reading and document editing.

That is a seriously sweet little setup! I love it! I thought about getting a 13" MacBook Pro for taking notes (surfing) in class but the iPad might just do the trick. I really was not crazy about it when I first saw it but it's really growing on me. How easy/comfortable is it to edit documents or surf with it with the keyboard and mouse attached compared to a real notebook? Also what are you using to prop up your iPad?

Thank you and congrats

I don't mean to be interrupting, but I also own an iPad. The keyboard is pretty big, like 97% of an actual keyboard (Apple's aluminum wireless one as reference) and comfortable to type on. Although, it takes a little getting used to. Some keys are missing, like the tab key. And some keys are different, like there's an "@" key when you're entering an email address. If you pair a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (the mouse only works if you jailbreak, which is super easy with Spirit) it's much easier. I prefer the iPad over a netbook because the screen is so much better, the IPS panel and all that technical stuff. As for propping it up, the Apple iPad case can prop it up at a 30 degree angle or so. Perfect for typing. It doubles as a portfolio/folder style of case, with a flap protecting the screen. You flip open that flap and stick it in this slit on the back for the stand feature.

BTW, he's got a case of some sort on the iPad and maybe a bookend as a stand? idk.
 
@ zenstate : I'm actually thinking for an upgrade later this year, but am thinking between an Mac Pro and an i7 iMac.

@ Pudrums : Yep connected to the MBP for now.

I get weekly subscriptions to this thread, so unfortunately didn't see your post until today. I'll wager a fairly confident guess - Mayer's "Where the Light Is"?
 
My latest set up, still have my Griffin Elevator in its box, along with my Wireless Keyboard. I was holding out, hoping that that Magic Trackpad was real, but looks like I will have to settle for a Magic Mouse instead.

I'd reckon you're spot on. And to add more detail to that guess, i'd say its either "Daughters" or "Free Falling"

Apparently the M10 Sub isn't a Subwoofer, rather a low-frequency fill, so it is advised to not place it on the floor, according to most of the users.

Correct. If anything, I've heard it should be placed at head level. It's a low range driver but without the super low frequency of a subwoofer.

Wow, seen the video much? ;) Correct as well (Daughters)
 
I don't have any pics of my Apple setup, but I do have a pic of my PC setup. :D

The early 2009 Mac mini and later with the 9400M can drive 2 DVI displays with the included MiniDVI-DVI adapter and a mini displayport-DVI adapter. The Cinema Displays both have ADC-DVI converters on them. They both still look fantastic, though they are starting to show their age. One of them hums a bit whenever it's below full brightness. It might be time to upgrade to a 24" ACD.

My relatively new 30" ACD also hums whenever its below full brightness, so if you're specifically looking to get away from that, you may just want to save your money :p
