I love the desk! I've been eyeing it for a while but I've been indecisive about it but seeing your pictures remove any doubt I had about it. Thanks for posting.
I have been putting up with varying heights for a while so it isn't a distraction. However I do think it is a great shame Apple didn't try to line them up.
You can adjust the settings so that you can account for the varying heights, so your mouse appears in the right place when you move across, etc.
Someone needs to make a new foot for the ACD so that the height is the same. It needs to be high quality though, I would pay a couple hundred dollars for a high quality replacement foot that looks exactly the same.

Nice table and setup. Do you mind sharing where I can get hold of this table. I'm looking for a desk for my room.
Would be much appreciated. Thanks

Going to replace the cheap looking Samsung monitor with a Thunderbolt Display in 4-5 months and add in a Macbook Pro 17" When the Ivy Bridge models come out.

Haha! I might do 458 Italia, or perhaps the 2012 Lotus Exige S as I have posters of both somewhere in my house. I just love the look of the M5 poster though.

mind to share where to buy the M5 poster? been looking for it since the beginning of time
It looks like someone already beat me to it. I actually do have a Quicksilver though. 733MHz, 768MB RAM, and a 160GB HDD. I was thinking of just cramming as many hard drives in there as I could and using it as a media server. I was thinking of doing that with my G5, but that thing generates too much heat and only has two bays.
thanks man. i still can't believe how cheap i snag this up for. i loaded 10.5 on it last night, finishing up the updates as we sepak. turning this PPC into my media server on my day off
