cool. Still loving the design of these pre-unibody Macbook pros, how is ML performing on it?

The pre-Unibody MacBook Pros are so gorgeous. Definitely think they look better than the Unibody ones, and this is coming from a Unibody owner. Something about them makes that design timeless.

Mountain Lion is running great on it =), so far no issues.. & Yup I agree with you guys the design on the pre-unibody is still really nice..

No problem - I'm using this dual monitor stand and holding up both Thunderbolt displays with it. It's sturdy and has great cable management. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052AWGLE/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00

One thing to note - since both Thunderbolt displays weight about 30 lb. and the stand is another 15 lb., there is about 75 lb. of pressure over 8 square inches where the stand's c-clamp rests on top of the desk. Shouldn't be a problem unless you're using particle board furniture, like me - then you need to find the part of the particle board top that doesn't compress in with the pressure, around the legs for Ikea desks.

:O Weird. I like unibody better (telling you as owner both unibody imac & macbook and before-unibody macbook). It's more modern, you know

But iMac "Steve's Lamp" was really awesome

Saw in your signature the upgrades you made on it. It is a powerhorse!

If someone comes running in the sliding glass door (or it's dark) do they stand a good chance of crashing into the monitor?

I agree as well i love the pre-unibody pros. Could you also share the wallpaper?

Some more images now i am back from work and have some light available!

I really like your mouse pad. Bought one for myself now lol.

Excellent looking setup.

Just fooling around with new camera I got

Nice laptop, that's a neat model. I like your utilization of ports there too.

BTW - did you choose your username based off of DBZ by chance? Love that damn show.

how do you access notification center? Do you have to click the button only?

Yup =), been a DBZ fan for a long time..

Actually I usually use the gesture to access notification center..

Had a slight rejig and dumped the HC gaming gear for a simple Apple Keyboard and Magic mouse.

Sorry to double post.

My setup for the evening:

Slight update

 

[Sylon]

New temporary setup, waiting for my new TwelveSouth Book Arc to arrive. I just picked up the keyboard and touchpad, along with a Belkin MDP-HDMI adaptor so I could use my LG screen. Most of the time I use my MBP at the coffee table, but I will use this desktop setup for photo editing. I'll be moving the power cable to under the desk once the MBP is fully charged. I also have a TwelveSouth Compass coming as well for the iPad. Now I just need an iPhone dock and to setup my Porsche Design External HDD.

 

[JoeG4]

NOPE. Run your cables through the hole on the leg, use some cable ties if necessary, but this is just too much.

 

[David085]

Seriously that how you route your cables or just trolling fail either way.

Here's my brand new setup. Two Fridays ago (iPhone d-day), I raided the Apple Store and got myself a new iPhone 5, Retina MacBook Pro, Apple TV, and Time Capsule. Then two days ago, I went down to my least favorite store in the world (IKEA) and got a new desk (actually a kitchen table) and TV stand (actually a coffee table). Here's some pics I took right after setting everything up (apologies for the crappy photos, had to use my old iPT to get the iP5 in the shots):

40" Apex TV (damn good quality for the price):

And my favorite bit of the lot :

Also, for those wondering, no, raiding the Apple Store isn't something I do regularly. My purchases replaced a late-2006 MBP, an original Droid, an internet-enabled blu-ray player, and a "g"-speed Netgear router. Been saving up forever for all this

I bet the Apple Store employee had a big smile when you just finished your purchase

Tell about durability of iPhone 5 black one? Is it really scratching as people talking about?
