Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 16)

[hafr]

maybe keep it to yourself next time. no one cares. a reaction isn't citing every aspect of the picture negatively.... but bashing is.

"Oh look, an uninteresting post that might be interpreted as negative. I better post an uninteresting post that might be interpreted as negative and tell him he shouldn't post stuff like that."

----------

I see the point of the mice. I use a trackpad at home but there are times when working in excel or something that I grab a mouse. The magic mouse is not good for gaming if I recall, ergo the seemingly useful gaming mouse. The ATV doesn't seem to add clutter and who cares about the phone?

You don't have to sit there so why bother being so negative about it?

I wasn't being negative about it, I just didn't agree with his view on the setup being simplistic and flowing together and pointed out why. Seriously, if you can't take a post like that, you really shouldn't post stuff online. Let alone on a public forum. I don't think I've crossed the forum's rules in any way...

In the future, why don't you just report my posts that you feel are out of line instead? That would get rid of them if the moderators agree with you, and the threads would be less infected.

Changed my setup a little bit. Removed the LaserJet from the desk like everyone said too. Good thing I did, because now my cat like that spot to look out the window. Also moved my MBP into the desk drawer which saved some desk space.

I like the way you've colour matched the walls and the cat

Very nice, I like the way the monitor is to the side, instead of taking up the whole desk.

Love the ACD! But, I'm a little disappointed because the ACD is too heavy for the glass desk on the right. The glass was actually bending when I put the ACD on it! Basically I lost the functionality of the drafting table because it's strong enough to support the ACD. I'll either have to live with it this way, get a new desk, or mount the ACD on the wall above the right side. Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

I also got around to painting the walls and I'm waiting on my Stending Calendar still.

Just wall mount it. This setup looks amazing and I wouldn't get a new desk if you like this one and it suits your needs.

Elago P2 Stand - http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-S...4D6U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334790924&sr=8-1

Thanks for the link! how do you like it?

 

[PsstGreek]

Thanks for the link! how do you like it?

I like it a lot. It is kind of pricey but overall a great stand for an iPad. It's made out of a solid block of aluminum, matching the iMac

@MacJones

where did you buy the lamp for your desk?

 

[MacJones]

Thanks. I'll probably end up walling mounting it but I like the way it looks with its stand better. I guess function trumps form though.

@MacJones

where did you buy the lamp for your desk?

I got the lamp from IKEA. I think it was called Antifoni.

 

[JoeG4]

MacJones, you could also consider just putting something on top of the table so that it sits on the legs (like a metal shelf piece) and keeps the weight off the glass That's where I'd go! It's also a lot easier than mounting the monitor on the wall (plus I also think it looks better)

starting to do more and more restaurant/event writeups for my food blog so picked up a 13" macbook air to stay mobile

I thought you already had a 13" Air?

Beautiful photo (as usual) by the way. Was it taken with a 5D Mk II or 1DX?

thx for the kind words, photo is taken with my trusty 5D MK II heh

 

[MacJones]

Sorry for being a picture whore but my Stendig Calendar was at my doorstep when I came home from work so I thought I'd post a picture of my completed (for now) set up.

By the way, I LOVE the smell of a new Apple product. My room has that fresh Mac smell to it.

I love your setup. Is the wheatgrass faux? Where did you get the pots?

Cheers,

Thanks. Yeah the grass is fake, both the pot and the grass are from IKEA. $1 for each pot and $3 for each thing of grass.

Awesome - thanks! I guess I wouldn't have to worry about my grass allergies!

Greetings to everyone!

Im living in a small town in Ukraine and want to share with you a part of my home-office.

Currently Im running iMac 21.5 2011 & iPhone 4S 16. Waiting for Ivy Bridge to buy something from notebook stuff.

Sorry for photos quality, my cam isn't even better than iPhone :X

First attached thumb is my main view, and second one, of course, my iDog
