Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 15)

Thanks for the comments on the stock. Yeah my dad got it for me Christmas of 08. They also got my newborn a Disney one.

Sucks they don't offer it anymore

Meant to comment on that before. I've had one on my wall since the last stock split in 2005. My little engraved quote says something different though.

My "new" toy. I was looking for a while to get a good white Intel iMac that was not ridiculously expensive. Now I found this beauty - looks like brandnew and mostly feels like it too.

I'm not the guy with the table, but it's Crate & Barrel and very awesome:

I definitely agree this is an awesome desk. however I noticed it was 34 inches deep. man thats a deep table. long is one thing. you can put it along a wall or something. but deep, that take up a whole room. even my drafting table is only 30 inches deep. this thing is more. I dont know 28-30 deep is the best i would buy. any deeper and its like having a dining room table for a desk. seriously measure out how far from the wall 34 inches is before you buy.

I guess it all just depends on what you need and how much space you have. I just bought a new desk that is 36" deep to get more space. It's a fantastic surface to work on.

I actually got inspired to go find a better desk because of this fellow's Crate & Barrel (he posted a few months back) so I suppose I should say thanks.

Still awaiting Lion.

More lean of a setup since 2006 - https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/2977318/

What do you graphically design? Curious as your setup changes just about ever year with varying hardware.

I know it's not a brand-new iMac, but hey - I just turned 16 so I don't make loads of money.

I love Apples/Macs too (from the Apple IIe and every mac ever made and almost every gadget made by Apple, yes...I had a Newton too) and I always have picture frames, cups, cds and so much stuff on my table!
TEACH ME to be NEAT!

Nice setup. I like!

Question: why do people have/use portable hard drives with desktop setups?

Thanks! I guess it's ease - it has more memory than a USB and it's more portable than a regular external harddrive.
It's the best of both worlds... sort of.

Thanks. Since I only use external hard drives for backups I always gravitate towards desktop models. I guess different needs make for different choices.

I like it. I don't even wanna remember what kind of crappy PC I had when I was 16. Must have been a 486 DX 40 or something like that.

Question: why do people have/use portable hard drives with desktop setups?

Because you don't have to have a power adapter. Just plug in the usb and go. No crawling under the desk to find an outlet.
