Here's my set-up:

My set-up:

Mac Mini (2011)
Macbook Pro 13" (late 2011)
Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display
iPhone 3GS (16GB)
iPod Tocuh (64GB)
iPad 1 (16GB)
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Mouse
Apple Magic Mouse

Off camera there's a few Windows laptops, which I haven't included in a Mac set-up xD

Thoughts on my set-up? How could I improve it?

Thanks! ^_^

Great setup! I would put the mini under the display and move the iPad over to the right a bit it seems like it might be in the way of the speakers.

Yeah true, I know what you mean. I've saw better set-ups than mine but you've gotta be happy with what you have I guess? And true, I never use the external speakers now a since the Thunderbolt Display has speakers built in ;p

How can I improve my set-up? Which Apple products should I buy soon?

Thanks ^_^ :)

It really depends what you do with your mac. There are plenty of peripherals that you could add.

Do you have a backup solution? Maybe an external drive or time capsule.
How's your cable management? If it's bad do you want to improve it?
Is your desk big enough to your liking?
Is audio quality important to you? If so perhaps purchase a DAC and headphones or some speakers maybe connect them to an airport express for airplay.
Do you need a mouse perhaps for gaming?
If you are tired of your keyboard there are several ergonomic options or perhaps a solar keyboard.

Do you want a stand for your iMac or macbook pro.
Maybe some LED lights?
It seems like your money is burning a hole in your pocket.

Cable management is good thanks, it could be better though

Thanks for the detailed reply. :)

Why is my money a burning hole in my pocket? I've saw way better set-ups than mine :(

It's not a contest. Use what works best for you. I'd say buy only what is necessary.

Here is my setup in my home office.

Pics were taken with iPhone 4s. There are two other iPhones and 2 iPad (2nd and 3rd gen)floating around the house as well.

I hope I haven't posted this already. If I have and for some off reason, any of you remember it, I apologize.

I haven't posted a photo of my setup in quite some time and my desk is a horrid mess at the moment (beyond picture-taking)..

Here's photo of my corner at home at the moment. (linked to higher res)



It is Macbook 13" Al with C2D and Geforce 9600M, upgraded to 4GB and 500GB with 3rd party parts. My first mac laptop from 3 years ago and it is still great. :)

On the desk old iPhone 3G 16GB white, which is my personal phone along Samsung Note, the work phone which took the photo.

The "Mac Pro" which is running Diablo 3 at 1920x1200 is actually a discarded G5 PowerMac which I "upgraded" with normal pc motherboard, i5 2500K 4 core CPU and Radeon HD6870. 8GB RAM and 2x 500GB HDD. It was lot of soldering and tinkering but turned out nicely and without any more software patches than absolutely necessary.

Missing in the photo are white & shiny thick Apple USB keyboard and Mighty Mouse which are leftovers from my first iMac from 4 years ago now gone for family, but at the moment I'm liking the QPAD mechanical keyboard and SteelSeries Ikari mouse.
