Hi,

First of all, excuse me for the bad-quality pictures. I am so impatient to make nicer pics, but it's about the gear, right?



Main machine:

- MacBook Air 11" 2011 4GB/128SSD with 27" Thunderbolt Display. I mainly just watch .mkv files with Plex and listen to music via Spotify and just do general browsing/essay typing.

Main sit-back-and-relax gear:

- The New iPad 32GB + 4G (black). I love it and it has replaced my iPad 2 (which I sold and is visible a few pages back). My trusty old iPad 1 is still there, as I can't sell it. Just can't.

Other Macintosh gear:

- MacBook Pro 13" 2010 2.66Ghz 60GB Vertex 3 SSD 8GB RAM. I acquired this machine for free with severe water damage. I used 97% alcohol do clean the inside and all the corrosion. The machine works perfect now! very lucky.
(student job: Working at the Apple Store where I acquired this baby).

- MacBook 13" White/Black 2009 2.13Ghz 60GB 4GB RAM Vertex 3 (60GB). I has original black MacBook parts such as the bezel and the top case on it. Quite unique and quick. (Underneath the MacBook Pro on the mStand).

Kitchen:

- iMac G5 2.0Ghz 2GB RAM 2TB HD. This is used for Spotify. Airfoil is a great tool icm with the Airport Express and The Soundsticks III which are next to the TV. (kitchen and living room are one room).


Others:

- Hercules XPS 101 speakers. Great system.
- Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad.
- mStand
- mTable
- iPhone 3G and original iPhone (2x) (not visible).

Pictures taken with iPhone 4S 32GB white. The main phone!
That's all basically.

"That's all"? Haha, you're a student, you're supposed to live off noodles and be poor, not have a 10 000 € setup...

Awesome setup though, ik ben maar jaloers op je ;)

Haha, I know, right? But I work at the Apple Store in Amsterdam (not the official one, just a reseller), so I get all the stuff at superb prices and stuff.

Wow, incredibly lucky indeed. Did it have the SSD already when you got it?

I once received an aluminum MacBook (the one and only) for free. It had been water damaged, but it had sat so long before coming to me that mold had actually started to grow inside. I thought "no thanks" and put it back together. Sold it on Craigslist for $100, despite the problem.

No, it came with none. I installed it.

Heres my new setup :)
fun facts: i built this desk wrong
the sliding out part where the keyboard goes is actually really great to use with a wacom tablet.


Sorry for the bad quality, i guess the lighting and the ipad 3 wouldnt get along.

Before and after. I went to IKEA today and picked up the lamp, potted grass, and LED lights. I also got some frosted glass spray paint from Home Depot and sprayed the underside of the desk then mounted the LED lights under. I'm still waiting on my 27" Cinema Display and Stendig Calendar to arrive and I'm painting my walls sort of a beige/creamy white instead of this gray.

I'll be able to take better pictures when I buy a dslr camera for school but my phone will have to do for now. The desk looks more like a whitish blue in person and it seems like less light shines through.
