do you find the keyboard to be to low. it looks low in the pics like you cant fit your legs under the second part. I feel a 27 inch imac is in my future and I cant decide to wallmount or use the desk you have. I am cramped for space so this type of desk is ideal.
I'm in love with your desk....! Where did you get it?
eta - didn't realize #229 already asked, oops!
They do them in different colours but heres the link to the website:

Thanks!
No, I have the mini sitting in an office that has a closet that shares a wall with the living room. I have the mini feeding a receiver in the living room and a monitor in the office.
I use Rowmote Pro on my iPhone or iPad to control it from the living room. I have a Harmony 880 and it controls everything else.
Anyway, here is a new pic of the MBP setup in the living room:
I see a lot falling a sleep in front of the computer.
True. I use the setup when I want to listen to headphones, so I don't get a lot of real work done in that space.
Ah, but have you seen the old shots? Trouble is, I'm not very good at interior design! I know what I'd LIKE it to be, stands, with Evrything to hand. I will get there....Keep at me! It will galvanise me further
When I first got it I was thinking the exact thing. I believe the level of the keyboard area is where on an office desk with the keyboard pulls out, that 2nd piece is that level... I think. Anyhow my legs fit comfortably under the desk (5 ft 4 so I'm tiny) I can say that it definitely feels ergonomic! I love it, Deffo get this over the wallmount because behind the top desk you have storage for the modem, hard drive and cable ties to keep everything tidy.
Awesome, awesome set up there Uofmtiger. I had a look at your site just now and will look at your Flickr later, but either way, very envious of your set up across your whole house
Your right. I'm using them about equally except for late night internet use....Then it's the Air all the way. I can't believe I used to have that 17" monster on my lap!
The iMac does the heavy work though. 27" 2GB VRAM 16GB RAM. I still use the Pro for rendering too though.

It's from Stressless I believe, I have those as well and it's just great for relaxing, watching movies,...
You are correct.

True.
Here's my first pic.
My first Mac - MacBook Pro Late 2011 13"
iPad 2 32GB Wifi+3G
Will be getting an iPhone in the summer (I had a 2 yr contract on my HTC phone - due for renewal in July - so will upgrade to iPhone then!)
Also have the iPod shuffle in the drawer - didn't buy it, got it given to me cos my mp3 player broke.. but I plan on using my iphone for music when I get it.
I think I'm going to mount my monitor on to the wall - it's wooden panels tho (I'm in the attic) so still unsure about that..
Anway - not bad considering I got my first modern apple product back in Sep (iPad) and got my MBP at the end of Oct.
The lighting in my room isn't great
