I dunno about solutions for Mac, but back when I was a PC user, I had a KVM that allowed switching by hitting scroll lock twice followed by the up arrow. Best thing was there was no software required, so I could plug in any machine I wanted and it would work straight away.

This one works that way also, but only in Windows, so once I switch from Windows I am unable to switch back without pushing the button on the kvm switch. BOO

I have mine hidden away on my pull-out drawer that has my keyboard and mouse on it. It is just downright ugly and cumbersome.

Where do you do your homework/studying?
Seems like you have no space with all that Apple gear

I usually just move away my keyboard. But most of my homework and studying is done on my computer. Studying from electronic notes made studying for midterms sooo much easier!

 

[wordoflife]

Bedroom: Normally the Mac stays on this desk (not the other setup where my Mac is too). The Before pic is a really crappy pic I took a while ago with my old desk, but thats all I had.

Before:

After:

Studying for midterms:

Cleaned up for Macrumors comon, who doesn't clean their desk up before posting? :

When I'm out of the house or trying to study without computer:

Office: Pretty much the same as before, so I'm just going to quote what I posted earlier.

Macbook Pro, Acer 21.5 inch (1080p) + 17" Dell (1024 x 1280).
You can't see my Logitech speakers. Those Dell ones are for the other desktop (look at third image)

Nothing like using an AP environmental science book to raise your monitor a few inches

I couldn't find my iPod Mini, but here you see my iPhone 3GS 32GB, iPod Touch 1st Gen 8GB, iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB, iPod Nano 1st Gen 2GB.

Under my desk:

Free printer from Apple, my custom build desktop (see signature for specs), some boxes with ink/toner/software/extra hardware and on the far right, you see my Dell Dimension 8400. (Pentium 4, 3.2ghz; 1GB RAM; ATi x300 128MB, 160GB HDD)

If anyone is interested to see what inside of my custom built PC looks like, just let me know

More Apple products to come!



Here they are!
I didn't do any "cable management" for the simple reason ... I don't really care haha. Well actually, I did that build when I was 13... so yeah.

Just so you have an idea regarding what you are looking at:

GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
Intel Core i5-750 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor
Diablotek PHD Series PHD650 650W Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
PNY GeForce GTX 260 VCGGTX260CXPB Video Card
ZEROtherm CORE92 Socket 1156/1366 HDT Cooler

Yes, I did just copy and paste that from order invoice from Newegg. The email is dated from Jan 19 2010. Wow, time sure flies! Seems like I got this yesterday.

...connected to my 22'' Samsung 226BW which is a great monitor and has been, accept an insect has died in it near the top middle section make it sometimes quite annoying.

I had to open up a friends 24" the other day because something got behind the LCD. Never heard of that happening, and now I have twice. Lol weird.

Current picture of my server room/office.

The servers are all on the metal cabinet while I have all my other macs that still need to be processed all on the floor

I just received 3 eMacs w/ keyboards and even the original packaging aswell from my high school as I offered to sell the computers for them.

I also received 2 iMac G3s from them aswell.

OMG is that an original eMac box? I have never seen one before! I guess the "e" really did stand for education!

I just hung up the monitors on the left today. I need to get a longer DVI cable for the top one so I don't have to see it.

Very nice setup! Is that a hackintosh?

You know, I'd have thought having a mac helps an awful lot in cutting down clutter and improving workflow and info management..

Thanks! Yeah it is a hackintosh.

Wouldn't it be easier to move the tower to the floor on the left side of the desk? More desk space, and you save $10 on DVI cables

 

[Paul Graham]

Wow, Some of you have some beautiful setups.
Unfortunately Im back at my parents until I find a new house so
kinda tight on space lol.
Anyway, I've just crossed over to the Darkside and bought a Powermac G3 ( In storage )
And an emac G4 off my brother. I will bbe upgrading eventually to either an imac, A Powermac or a mac mini...

So anyway, before it arrives here, Here's my ( New to me ) emac G5 currently at my brothers house... Please Excuse the iphone taken photos -

And this is where it will be going...

The Tv will be going higher up either on a bracket or a shelf ( Stong one lol! ) And the emac will go in that corner.
It really is a pin being here as I can't have my gear set up the way I want Believe me, I have £1000's worth of cinema/audiophile/computer/DJ gear all in storage in my parents garage. - Long story, Went through a nasty break up a year and a half ago, So me and my seven year old are living back here now in my old room lol.

Yeah but that would be too easy. Actually I tried that but some of the other cables wouldn't reach, so either way I would have to buy new cables. Plus the tower hides a mistake I made when I made the shelf.

I swear, if it wasn't for the mac, your den would still be in the 70s

 

[Skorpion24]

Finally I moved, hope to post a new pic soon!

btw I'm in search for a 4-bay case like the Drobo, usb 2.0, better if firewire 800. Any advice for something under 350$?

 

[mattyuk]

Amazing setup! What a room

 

[Nejmann]

Bet that eames chair is awesome to listen to vinyls in!

 

[tkermit]

It's not an Eames chair. But probably pretty awesome to listen to vinyls in nonetheless.

 

[Uofmtiger]

Ikea Jerker Desk

Nice, I have always like those.

You know, I'd have thought having a mac helps an awful lot in cutting down clutter and improving workflow and info management..

it is funny I see these setups with one monitor on the desk with nothing else in site and yawn, while others say they like the elegance. To each their own.

Btw I love Eames and Eames inspired chairs.

 

[Paul Graham]

Vinyl. No 'S'
Sorry, I'm a DJ and I get funny about these things lol

 

[DewGuy1999]

Vinyl. No 'S'

Like, email (not emails) or beer (not beers). Apparently, late-20th Century, early-21st Century grammar is to pluralize with a "s" whether it's correct or not.

That eMac really brings back memories of when I had mine. Great computer it was, and pretty quick even before I sold it a few years back. It's alright though, I replaced it with a iMac G4 so that has eased the pain a bit haha.
