New desk / present setup:

This is my new desk setup:

.

The white macbook (with a screen) is a 2010 unibody white MacBook. the previous owner of it spilled coffee on it, got a new computer and gave me this one. It is my mom's new computer :D... I just havent given it to her yet... The MacBook Pro that you see in the picture is my own MacBook Pro that I paid for. The headless MacBook is a circa 2006 C2D macbook, which was also given to me. It had a dead screen, and apple quoted the previous owner an exorbitant amount, and decided that it would just be better to get a new macbook... I removed the screen, airport antennae, and isight from the display assembly. The isight is taped on to my wooden monitor stand, and the airport antennae are under the slide-out table where the headless MacBook is.
 
On the last page of Part 12 I posted a setup that is located in my home office (mainly used by my wife). Different room.

I decided to update my own office (kind of) with a brand spanking new iMac which is replacing my late 2009 Macbook Pro.

Old Specs Macbook Pro 17":
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
500GB + 80GB SSD ( took it out before selling)
Nvidia 9400M + 9600M

New Specs iMac:
2.93Ghz i7
8GB RAM
1TB Hard Drive + (still want my 80GB SSD inside this baby, but difficult to do so!)
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB

So far, so good.

The speakers are also still there, but these are not shown in the picture.

This is an old/new comparison.

Mind the quality, but my iPhone 4 broke (will be replaced) on me so I used an old iPhone first generation.

I kept the iPad 64Gb Wifi.

Feedback is always welcome. :D

Nice setup, and iMac! What did you do with the Cinema Display?

BTW Your iMac has an ATI GPU, not nVidia ;)

Oh, yeah! you're right! The ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB :eek:

If you take a look at the last page of Part 12 of this thread, you'll see the Cinema Display is used in that room, looks good:rolleyes:

I still adore the Cinema Displays and I will never sell it. it's an :apple: thing.

I like your idea more.

Just curious.. why would you put the iMac inside the window and block it entirely? Seems a bit odd
 
Just got my new desk and got it pretty much set-up. I am going to get the wireless keyboard and mouse this weekend from the apple store. Sorry for the poor quality my camera broke and I am using my phone. Let me know what you think.

woah that's a lot of screen space! Mind if I ask what your running the screens from and screen sizes?
Click to expand...

haha...yeah, it is quite a bit of space. Left (21" HP f2105) and top middle (30" HP LP3065) are connected to a desktop PC that I use for work. I work from home and mess with a lot of spreadsheets and querying data so it's helpful having all the space to move stuff around. The vertical screen (24" HP2408h) is connected to my MBP via mini port to HDMI that I use mostly for personal use. The sad thing is I have a 3 or 4 more 21" screens in the closet. If I had the desk space I would hook them all up... :D

Hi, did u use a ViBook to connect those monitors?
Click to expand...

No sir. Only the vertical screen is connected to the MBP via a Monoprice Miniport to HMDI connection. The other two screens are connected via Dual Link DVI to my PC that you can kinda see under the table (green lights).

Number One checking in! Seriously, I started the first "Post Your Mac Setup" thread.

It still boggles my mind that this has made it to 13 parts and is still going strong! *knock on wood* I hope it never ends!

I just sold my MacBook Pro but once my iMac arrives I will take photos of my setup for everyone. It's definitely changed a lot since then, lol.

Plus, everyone else's photos are making me super envious!

:apple:
