Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 14)

[lifeinhd]

I've tried that, but I accumulate more junk...

I know the feeling, but sometimes you just gotta hit "purge." I sell most of the Macs I receive for free (and I only ever purchase them to repair and resell them), I've gotten rid of every book I owned that wasn't a reference book or a really good novel, my classic Macs are in the closet, my stray papers have all been put in binders, my spare computer parts collection has been slimmed down greatly, and I still have more work to do. It does help that I don't make impulse purchases (except maybe cheap food), but idk if that's your problem or not.

Obviously I don't know your needs, and I can't really speak for you, but I can't see why you'd need more than just the MacBook on the desk. _Maybe_ the PowerMac as well, but then doesn't it get annoying syncing data across computers?

I'm down to just the MacBook and a 19" monitor on my desk. The Mini resides on my wife's desk. Its' not the computers that cause the clutter, it's the other crap that I seem to accumulate... Also factor into it that our apartment is only 584 sq feet or something like that...

Once again, that's the same story with me. It also doesn't help that when I moved in to my current home, I tried to squeeze an entire one bedroom apartment into one bedroom.

Diotav,

you always have the sickest workspace photos lately - save for one other person (a Toronto native like myself).

Could you please name your desk, chair and anything else you use please (cable management for power)?

Thanks.

...I just realized I meant to quote "datamonger," sorry. But yeah, sometimes you just have to go through all your stuff and throw out everything that has no intrinsic, monetary, or sentimental value.

Nice! Where can I find that wallpaper?

If you go to Gadgetmac.com gallery backgrounds page 3 you can find it there.

 

[JoeG4]

Wow some very full setups O_O

You know what's going to be weird? I'm moving for the first time in many years later this year 10 years of mac setups in almost the same place.

Be ready for changes soon XD

Hey guys, FIRST POST!! Hopefully this will be the first of many.

My setup <snip>

Diggin' the desk! Got any more pics?? Also, where did you get it??

 

[7on]

it always nice to try app on devices.

Do you develop mobile apps? If So which is your favorite?

 

[DAMNiatx]

Do you develop mobile apps? If So which is your favorite?

Currently i only have one application on Apple App Store,
you can found it on my sig. I plan to release another two application this year.

My favorite for mobile app development is Apple iOS, simply because the platform already mature enough.

The platform is mature because it was based off of a mature platform to begin with. Only problem I ever had with my iPhone was when it got stuck in a DFR (That's what the guy at the Apple store called it) loop and wouldn't exit it, but that was hardware, not software.... the iOS is rock solid, in my opinion... (I am not a developer, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...)

I don't at the moment, but I will take some later after I'm done with classes for the day. What did you want pictures of? Haha, and the desk is from Ikea. Heres a link: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39871399 I got this one back in december, so I'm not sure if they still have the black on black configuration, but if they do, it would be in a store, which is where I got mine.

How you like the A2 and the uDac pair?

I'll be moving for the first time in my life later this year. College, woo!

I plan to keep the same Mac, though, assuming it fits my college's computer requirements. Which it should.

Hopefully.

 

[dapgu]

How you like the A2 and the uDac pair?

its great, iv noticed some improvement, the speakers can go louder without too much noisy, and sound crystal clear,headphone output is quite awesome and convient, so you dont have to control volume from back of left speaker, and you also get max quality of music out from it.

No problem on the link! And it looks like I lied to you about the pictures, I'll try and get some tomorrow. I got busy with a little bit of early spring cleaning around the apartment.

Blackmel - Where did you get that mousepad?! That is sick. I've been in need of a bigger one.

 

[JBG87]

great, the best part of the tv is its also made as a monitor and uses the ips screen which i didnt know about till after i purchased it

only problem is when i use it with the macbook closed the internet is super slow

Thanks!

Going to grab a desk from that line myself soon.

What kind of speakers are those?
