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

Wow, absolutely love your space! Where can one find that calendar if you don't mind me asking?

It is the "Stendig" Calendar, By Massimo Vignelli. It has been in production since 1966, and is available here: http://www.stendigcalendar.com/Stendig_Calendar/Welcome.html

Massimo Vignelli is an absolutely wonderful designer! I might have to pick one of those up.

'Setup', for me, is a misnomer. I exclusively use a laptop because I like to be able to work from anywhere (office, sofa, coffee shop, garden, etc) at any time. In reality, this is what I'm normally looking at: a 2011 13" MBA, a Logitech wireless mouse (if I'm on a flat surface), and a budgerigar named Henry who simply will not shut up!

(P.S. Please don't post in this thread if you're not posting a photo of your setup. We don't want to know that you like a calendar too. Ta.)

Aww!!! Look at that little bird!

extremely cool !

Well thank you! :-D

Wow ! This by far has gotta go down as one of the best setups, very nice, are they Cinema Displays or Thunderbolt ?

Thanks!!! Ive been working on it for awhile lol. They are thunderbolt displays.

Have you just daisy chained the monitors together through thunderbolt?

The iMac is actually the new 27" that has the 2 thunderbolt ports on it. Each thunderbolt plug from the displays are plugged into a port each.

I would just get one mount for the iMac or two cheaper ones for each ACD just to get everything at the same height.

It seems like a MAJOR oversight for Apple to have monitors that are not height adjustable and then make their Imacs and matching ACDs different heights. I have switched to Dells for flexibility because I got tired of having ergotron mounts for everything when they would not be necessary with a little more built-in adjustability for monitors.

I would do that, however I can't find pole style single monitor mounts that can handle the weight.

I think this one can do it. Not sure if it is what you want though...

Are you one of the turds who goes around downvoting feedback posts?

What's the point of posting photos if people aren't supposed to give feedback?

 

[PBLRDom]

Thats the monitors in motion i referenced. Just can't justify $1300-$1400 for a mount.

I use an Ergotron MX with my 24" LED Cinema Display, cost me around 130€ hear in germany.

 

[PBLRDom]

Im thinking about just using 3X Atdec - SD-POS-HA mounts

 

[JoeG4]

Beautiful setups, I love that idea of custom wiring some LEDs together, I've been pondering doing that with white LEDs.

$1300 for a monitor stand is definitely out there DAANG!
