Here is my setup with my New rMPB and TBD. Still working on getting some speakers and managing all those cables. My early 2008 15" MBP is pictured on the right as well.

I haven't done this with the macbook air yet sweet

Love the retro setup. Arguably the best Cinema Display design from Apple.

If that's the case, may I suggest proofreading before submitting, esp. that second paragraph?

And while I don't care, someone eventually will complain about the lack of timg tags on the first image

Done.

Being that my MacPro (2006 MA356LL/A 2.6) is too old to be upgraded to the latest OS so I got a iMac (2011 MC813LL/A) for my bedroom. Nice machine. I'll say one thing, I have never had a PC last as long as 6 years with constant use. I shut down my Pro maybe 4 times a year. It has 8TBs HD and has been my workhorse.

Just bought this beautiful glass desk for $32 off trademe. Always wanted a corner glass desk.

Any tips on cable management though?

my new desk lay out

In terms of being retro I guess I might as well share 1 more combination of modern retro? hehe.

It's a 2nd gen 10gb ipod sitting next to my macbook air. I had second thoughts about plugging it in without pulling the battery as I bought it from newertech back in 2005 - I was right to have those second thoughts. After letting it sit 30 mins (charging), I tried using it and the hard drive jammed up. Yikes! The battery swelled up!

Luckily, it didn't break.. so a few days later after the swelling went away (not sure how), I managed to pry the ipod open and get the old battery out. Luckily, the iPod still works fine It's pretty well scratched up from many years of use, but it works!

Not bad for a 10 year old MP3 player lol.

This helps.

If you go to the 'before and after' section and look at the top left picture, that is my own before and after that I submitted.

Or just cut a hole in the side of a shoe box which is free.

A shoebox isn't the most appealing thing to be tagged onto the end of a multi-thousand dollar setup

Not really... my last shoe box was was about 167 dollars.

The shoe box is a hell of a lot smaller than the actual cable boxes tho. It's also made of cardboard, which may not be the best idea if you've got hot adaptors and cables in there

I love the lighting, but I don't really understand having 3 sets of speakers on your desk lol. Still, the room is a white room - and I LOVE bright white rooms.
