The usb and cardreader ports are simply a (powered) hub wich i built in and took the cover off. The audio l/r and phones are extention cables from my audio interface. ;)

My setup

After watching this forum for some time I am finally posting.

I am a guy (despite the wall colour, new house and haven't painted yet).

3x 20" Dell 2007WFP. Windows 7 (Can't afford Mac Pro).

2x 19" Samsung. Connected to Servers. (second server in pieces at the moment).

1x HP Switch.

And of course my favourite part my MacBook. I would love to have more apple products (iPhone 4 used to take photo) and thinking of getting an iPad.

Anyone want to donate to the "Get Dave More Apple Stuff Fund"

I will get a better quality photo soon. Only got all the monitors set up today.

Hey Stefmesman, are you using any type of hub for the firewire? I have a late 09 iMac as well, and I need multiple firewire inputs/outputs. Do you use one, or have any suggestions? In fact, does anyone have any suggestions for a firewire hub?

hello, no i dont. my audio controller is hooked up to my fw 800 even thou it only needs fw400 just bought a 400 to 800 cable. daisy chaining can help. but for the audio controller stutters when i start reading or writing from anything between the port on the imac and the audio controller. wich sucks!

fw800 hubs do exist, they are expensive. around 100 to 150. but i recommend these ONLY for use with hard discs. nothing else fw800 that needs constant acces. because it works horrible.

I have three external HDs daisy chained to one another. The only thing I really need FW besides that is for video transfer from my Sony camcorder. I have this Belkin hub that gives me an extra FW plug, but I wanted something similar to what you have on the side of the desk.

Here is an updated image of my office setup.

Put up my collection of printed movie posters, in cheap frames which can be swapped out when I feel like a change.

Wish it was like everyone elses though with the Apple Cinema Displays and Mac Pros.
