Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 18)

[Gary86]

Here is my new setup..it is time to get some wireless speakers next but these JBLs crank some serious sound. Also, my Canon printer is from my 08 MBP purchase but still gets the job done for my at home needs.

Check it out

I wanted to keep the desk as clean as possible. So I had some scrap 1x6s in the garage so I tossed this together. Not the prettiest, but you don't see the Mini

Very nice setup. I have the same monitors.

The pad is built in with the desk, only one I know that is similar is this ikea one:

Yeah well I wish Apple made a Lightning dock for the iP5 already similar to the 4/4S version
They would sell sooooooooo many

Looking at some of these setups makes me really wish Apple would go 'backwards' just a little bit in industrial design.

I love the aluminum and everything, but oh man, to have a 27" Cinema Display inside one of those clear plastic enclosures like the old ones:

I know some thought they were ugly, but a pair of those on a glass desk with a magic trackpad and wireless keyboard would be a GORGEOUS setup.

I may be in the minority, but I honestly think the G3 and, especially, G4 era Apple products were the best looking!

I think I would have a heart attack if Apple re-released the iMac G4 design with modern internals, a larger display (but the same clear plastic shroud around it and chrome handle), and re-released the original Cinema HD display but, again larger and higher resolution. That would be awesome!

For me and the ten other people who thought they looked cool. Everyone else thought they were tacky and gaudi!

I just tried on my gloss desk, didn't work. I have the $5 ikea mat, clear, works fine on it.

I'm addicted to white, I wish they came out with a white iMac.

My humble setup
-Macbook air 11" 2011 2/64 gb
-Hp Photoshop Printer
-Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo( It's too dark to see them)
-Taken with a iphone 4

It's not nearly as good of some of your guys amazing setups but it serves me well. Hoping to get a ipad mini sometime this year though.

Nope it's buried far enough towards the back
Perfect for now until I decide on making a nicer version or buying something

you know if you really like the look you can still get one of those classic HD cinema displays through eBay for a fraction of the original price (I remember these used to cost $ 2k+ back in the days) and use it on a modern setup. 23" is a pretty enjoyable screen size nowadays (consider that has a higher resolution than the current 21.5" iMac)

My personal favorite in apple display design though, is the all aluminum 30" cinema display, hope I can get to have one of those

 

[Compile 'em all]

My new setup for 2013..

Imac '21,5
upgraded Macbook pro '15
Apple tv 3
ipad 3
iphone 5
playstation 3
samsung '42 led
Logitech z-5500

This looks like a shop

 

[Aliencowboy69]

Not the best, but does the trick.

Haha I know it looks awful, but they were just scrap wood
It gets the job done

Are you using an iPhone 5 dock? If so, which one? Thanks.

 

[Lugnut2k10]

I have one too, my girlfriend got it for me on Amazon:

Thanks ordered one!

It will probably change in a day but here is my set up as of now.

I like those lamps. Mind me asking where you got them?

 

[midwestfisherma]

This is my current setup, not my main user area. Recovering from knee surgery, so had to make due.

Nice table. I have one just like it.

Yeah I know, but I AM spoiled with the screen real estate and resolution of the 30" cinema displays.

I've strongly considered replacing my secondary display (a 23" 1080p LG display) with an Apple Cinema HD display though.

 

[Face Ache]

My desk looking colourful. (27" iMac, Swan M50w speakers with a HRT Music Streamer II DAC).



While I'm here, I did this to a new iPad Mini this afternoon.



Don't panic - nothing that can't be undone.

I have one (clear 23" hd cinema)but there are some pixels in the middle that won't display blue but I can't through it away

Try the Logitech Performance Mouse MX. Works great on glass and fits much nicer in the hand than the Apple mouse but that may be IMHO.

 

[TheEvilDonut]

Decided to move my whole setup to a table. Makes for a cleaner setup. At least I think so.

Please don't mind the reflection of the creepy guy in the monitor. He was swiftly dealt with afterwards.

One could say I purchased the Halo Reach Edition console solely because it matched my Macbook Pro. But one would be of course wrong in assuming so. Right?

What is that where your MBP is hiding?
