You can't possibly tell me that you've got all that stuff listed in a dorm room!

Apart from the iMac Intel and CRT iMac/eMac and G4/450, yes I have. (I had those, but since I needed some desk to work, I had to send them home, which is a shame, and I had to send the G4/450 home as it was replaced by my MDD, but at 1 point I did have the lot in here, Its a shame I didnt take a picture then really.) My Dorm room does currently have 10 Macs in it out of the 14 I have though :cool: If there was enough space in the car Id have the lot here still, as I couldve piled up the eMac and iMac at the end of my bed, and had the iMac Intel on my bedside table, would make it slightly harder to move around though...
 
Got a new desk from ikea, a Dave. Its so awesome and versatile.
Thought i would show off my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4, along with its special ability to turn into a mirror on demand

got sick of looking at the wall, so moved my mini setup to the window.

this is just a temporary setup -- new desk and stuff is on the way.

I love the eMac! Used to have one, loved it. Think of it this way - you have a more unique Mac because there's not as many around now.



I can think of something much better to take to the beach.

eMac's are great machines. I owned one for 4 1/2 years and it never once let me down.
Click to expand...

Thanks folks!
I bought this one for £80 from my older brother...
I already have two self-built gaming rigs that i put a lot of blood sweat, tears and wonga into aswell as my Sony Viao.
But seriously, I really am growing very fond of my eMac very rapidly! ( Only had it for like 4 days )
I'm finding Mac OSX as I get used to it, Much better than windows in all its forms.
The machine itself just feels better, More robust, sleeker, Better thought out, Quicker ( which is a surprize on the mac hardware vs windows hardware front ) and even down to the apps and peripherals, Installing etc...

" My name is Paul, I am a Mac convert, And Proud of it! " lol.
 
1st one is my desk after I cleaned it. 2nd is desk during use. Last is view from my balcony.

I was just given a little dell monitor in my office; great for reading papers whilst writing something else!

I'm sorry, but what is the need for all of those machines? 3 laptops, 2 towers. And you're in a dorm? What do you do at uni that requires that much overkill. Not to mention the 27" cinema display. Your whole set up would cost as much as year or more in school.

May I inquire as to how this MacBook is headless? I thought the antennas for the Airport were in the display somewhere...
Click to expand...

They are in the display assembly (they are the LCD mounting brackets...). The display stopped working, so I just put the display assembly aside for spare parts. I took the airport antennas out of it, but it was just a hassle keeping them there (plus they are ugly). I disconnected the airport antennas from the airport card, and just have it plugged into ethernet...

Edit: forgot to mention I have it set up with my external display...

Ok. sounds like what did to my wife's Dell. She doesn't need the display and she will get 8 hours on a fully charged, brand new battery.

how's the bass on those? i'm in need of some new speakers too and i can't make up my mind whether or not i want to buy a subwoofer. i loveee bass but i like the AV40s.

The bass is pretty impressive for 40 watts. I listen to mostly hip hop and the bass was awesome and not overbearing. Best 2.0 speakers I've ever owned so far.

Hopefully you pay a standard fee for electricity and not the actual consumption. :D
