Agreed. Am I the only one who thinks the set up was much better before (minus all the cables)?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah right
Before to watch this movie I was like simple user of PC, when Ive seen it, I become like mad about PC's, now I'm website designer... Thats fair enough about me...
YES<I am using as dual monitor
It happens that the movie was playing in full screen, so the macbook's display became black
----------
Ahahah! Really?
I didnt like because of the cables, mainly.
Now I will try to keep my books on the book shelf - it happens that I use them A LOT (like 3 or 4 of them per day).
Also, I dont like the stand (mStand copy, by me). The cables are like... hanging! Hate that!
----------
People, take a look at these pictures.
I made it by myself using acrylic only. (and the saw, pen, table... of course).
About some weeks ago I opened a thread asking for an alternative to mStand because I didnt want to spend 100 dollars (it costs 50 dollars in US and 100 dollars in Brazil) in a "piece of metal". So I did it.
Take a look:
My suggestion is to use some twist ties for cable management, and maybe some cable tie downs you would use for PC cable management inside a rig. That way you can use the stand still! Or drill a hole in the back of it, or something. Lol.
Must be handy having three arms.
PS- Remember to add a lip or something on the end of your stand so your laptop doesn't slide off.
PPS- Well done!
I did it by myself!
----------
Eheheh! by 'myself' I didnt mean ONLY me. I meant that I didnt go to a store and bought the "mStand" already manufactured.
Also, there is a lip! Its transparent acrylic!
Good day today... ://
It just popped of my sleeve and smashed on the floor when headphones was plugged in... :/

I love how the european keyboards have a an arrow, double arrow, and loopy arrow for shift, caps lock and enter. On my keyboard, it just says shift, caps lock, enter.
Thanks Steve.
PS: Could someone please help me calibrate my dell P2412H?
I just sold my 2209W and I regret it BIG time.

I've the opposite feeling: I'd really love to have text instead of symbols on my italian KB
Yes, I want that too!
In this monitor, white is not white. White has this yellowish tone.
THe desk? Also made by myself. Bought the feet, the wood and made the structure under it.
In a local store it costs about 250 dollars.
I spent 40-45 dollars.
Ignore comments about the mess. I'm a bit of neatfreak myself but not like some of the people on here. 1 wire shown and all hell breaks loose.
Nice mini.
Nice one dude!
Retro Mac ftw! See my first setup pics and you'll see I only just recently upgraded from an eMac G4
