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

[AmbientEleven]

Love the desk. Is that a 21 or 27 iMac?

Thanks! literally waited about 4 months for Ikea to get that desk in stock!

It's the 21.5 i3.

 

[Psychopulse]

there's manicho's green pig making the scene!

How do U know that? Yeah, we work together with Mani

Beautiful photo - what camera was it taken with? Which iMac is that? How is the speed of the MBA vs the iMac?

Thanks bro! I use Canon 5D Mark II with 50L 1.2 lens MBA is really fast, not fast as the iMac but really, really fast. Much faster then 2 years old MacbookPro - we edited some videos and photoshop files on Air and it's freaking impressive! My favourite machine from Apple so far!

I'm guessing the camera in question is a Canon EOS 5D Mk II

I really like the soft touch of the photo. Would you mind sharing what you did to the pic in photoshop ?

Thanks man. I didn't to too much, just opened in camera raw and some basic editing plus a few adjustment layers in photoshop, nothing serious. It's soft because of the lens and aperture (1.2)

Hah, as soon as you said that I thought "I bet he has a link to a Flickr account in his signature that I didn't click on to find out."

Sure enough.

Seconded on the photo question. Man, I can't wait for the 5D Mk III....

Hm, I don't think i have a psd file of that photo because it was like 2 minutes of editing but it was nothing complicated, curves, color balance maybe some gradient fill and that's all.

The negative ratings in this thread have really gotten out of hand. People are allowed to complement one another or even ask what or where someone got something without needing to be marked negatively. Wanting to know more about a person's setup is a good thing and is helpful for people looking around on this thread. It's really immature and overdone. Let people comment or ask questions.

I have an easy solution.....if it's a thread I'm interested in following, I pay no attention whatsoever to those stupid arrows and the number next to them.

Hey folks...been ages since I've been in here but I just got a new iMac, and painted my office yesterday too. Figured I'd show the space since I've never shown this room on MR before.

Sorry for the less than great quality, just snapped a quick pic with my iPhone last night after I finished putting everything back together.

Also, I ripped open the iMac as soon as I got it and installed an SSD and 12GB of RAM Sucker is fast...

Got a new chair for my work space, been after a low back style chair for my desk for a while, fortunately for me Staples accidentally priced this up as £49.99 when it was suppose to be £99.99, couldn't resist

Took a better overall shot of my desk with the new chair!

Here it is, the M10's look really good, but lack bass.

Bass heads should look at other speakers, don't get me wrong they sound awesome, but little bass.

I don't mind I got them for $70 anyways.

Sorry pic is huge@!

Where did you buy these? I can only find one site online that sells these.

I had my bluray writer and usb/fw hub under my desk, but it was a pain in the butt when I needed them, so I decided to move them. I also had a more generic battery backup, which was kinda loud, so I switched that out with one that cost quite a bit more, but is much more powerful, and completely silent.

today:

What kind of headphone stand is that? PS nice speakers!

Here is my fairly new setup, nothing fancy..

Windows 7 was installed only for that I could play Limbo

Apparently there is some cable management to be done, but I have a subwoofer under my table so what can you do?

May I ask what headphone stand and iPhone stand you have? Gorgeous setup, especially with the framed posters in the background.

Nice wall paper...good to see another House Head

What furniture is that? I'm hoping it's Ikea.

It is indeed. The cabinets are Ikea, and then I built and stained the desktop surface myself. The cabinets are mounted onto the walls, but I didn't remove any carpet, so with relatively little effort I could remove them, patch the holes, and paint if for some reason I wanted to reconfigure the room -- but I doubt I'll ever do that.

You don't happen to have the family names or whatever they call it for your furniture do you?

Basically all their cabinets (well, most) are the white "Akurum" line, and then you just buy different door styles to put on the front. I bought one of the simplest door styles.

I also have damped hinges on everything, so the doors and drawer don't slam -- they close gracefully. What you see there -- two base cabinets (far left and far right), two wall cabinets (the small one in the middle, and the middle shelving unit underneath the countertop is wall-depth; behind it is my subwoofer and all my cabling mess), plus the three overhead cabinets and all the hardware, hinges, etc all came out to around $500 I think? I don't remember for sure, but it wasn't too bad.

amazing !!!

Thanks for the info. Spent over an hour trying to find those. Not easy with Ikea stuff as everything is separate including the handles (usually).

Looks awesome. Mind sharing what you used to mount your displays and any other info? I've been thinking about doing the same to mine.
