Thank you! Got the TV a few days ago, a Philips 40PFL3018H, a great TV! Especially for the price.
Relocated again huh? Your setup remains awesome, regardless of the location of your desk
Thanks!

It's the Sena Lugano wallet for the iphone 5/5S.
That is an awesome wallet/case.
On the Apple store US it cost you about 50 Dollars.
But on ebay you get it much cheap + in many different styles like 3 slots for credit cards etc.
Check it out!

In honor of the Mac 30 year birthday, here is my Mac collection from early 1987. Normally spread out around the house, I pulled everything together one day for this group pic.
Left to right - Imagewriter w/Thunderscan, Tablet w/pen (forget the brand), Laserwriter Plus, Mac 512ke with a 68030 + 4MB RAM upgrade, 2400 baud modem, Mac Plus, Jasmine 80MB hard drive, Mac 512ke, Tecmar 10 MB hard drive, Imagewriter II.

Awesome pic. Isn't it funny how much things change in 30 years. It's astonishing to think that with the exception of printing, the iPhone can do much more than all 3 of those computers combined. Yet people still complain that their phones' batteries only last a day or so.
Clean and simple; so I can push it all off to the side easily with one arm when I need to spread out with books etc.

Oh and the beast of a printer is the 3170CDW from Brother. If anyone needs a workhorse in a printer, I suggest it. AirPrint, duplex etc
Here's my setup at work - it's a Mid-2011 iMac (2.5GHz i5, 4GB RAM) with an extra HP display that I snagged. Off to the left is a 10 Zig terminal for VMWare testing purposes. Other than that, I've got a few Apple mice on the wall for decoration, and some propaganda from my alma mater. #

I like the mice as wall decoration. Your idea or did you see it somewhere and emulate? Good way to make use of something otherwise valueless.
That ended up being my idea - when I switched offices, I got a lot more blank wall space and realized I had a couple of old mice from different generations - I was going to lay them on top of a bookshelf, but somehow just thought I'd try them on the wall. They're held in place with two thumbtacks on each side of the cable (so the USB connector is resting on them). The best part is that there's nothing permanent if I need to bring them back into service (hopefully not the hockey puck!)
Ingenious. A rainbow of the 7 different hockey puck colors would look good all in a row.
I posted a couple of weeks back but I finally got a HiRise stand and did a little accessorizing with some lamps and wall art (my wife had to approve those). I had just finished practicing my trumpet as well and thought it went well with the dark/black theme so I just left it in the shot.
Details and Update to my setup 2014
So recently I have aquired two new Machines for my setup a 1989 Macintosh SE/30 and a 15'' PowerBook G4. This is how my setup is looking thus far. I am still waiting for some parts for the PB G4 as it is a pretty battered unit, but for £25.00 I can't complain. New screen assembly is coming from California of all places.
Bit of details on my desk. The shelf & desk are apart of the Ikea Expedit Series, had it getting on for four years now and its still in pretty good condition.
Heres is my Main desk area with the PowerBook G4 , MacBook Pro 13'' and iMac setup. Also in bright orange is my Laci Rugged 128GB SSD connected via thunderbolt into the iMac which is now my boot drive Still waiting for RAM and new hard drive for the PB G4 as someone has fitted a measly and ultra slow 30GB 4200 RPM drive in it

Here is the top of the desk with two 1978 Toshiba Stereo speakers. These were upgraded internally with modern speakers a couple of years back. They are attached to my 1978 Toshiba SM3750 unit. Also on the shelf is my 1989 Macintosh SE/30 which I plan to get setup and working at some stage. Along the shelf is also my vintage film camera collection.
Here is my music centre area. This unit is connected to the two Toshiba speakers in the previous picture. Its an amazing system which I picked up in 2011 for £6.50. Left of the shelf is my 1969 Sony Digitmaic flip clock still going strong after 44 years and keeps excellent time. Next to this is my JBL iPhone dock along with gold iPhone 5s. In the middle is my Go Pro Hero 3 Black Edition, this is what I use for my rowing training videos whilst coxing. To the end of the shelf is my 1973 avocado green G.P.O 746 Telephone which I restored a few years back it works excellent.
This is the media area with a 17'' iMac G4 and Dual 1.8 Power Mac G5. The TV is a 27'' LG 3D unit connected to an Apple TV and Xbox 360 which sits on top of the G5 (slightly out of shot)
This is the pride and joy of my camera collection a JVC GR-C1 from 1984. Many of you will recognise this camera as the camera featuring in Back to the Future Part 1. I got this as one of my christmas presents, for more of a display piece but it does fully work as well. It is also considered the first "true modern" camcorder being the first to incorporate the VHS deck into the camera unit
Full Fisheye shot of the workspace
Thanks

I thought it looked familiar!
Yeah, I remember in school doing a video project, and hauling around the two separate pieces - "bag over your shoulder" containing the tape deck portion, and "camera on a leash" hand-held camera portion connected via wire to the bag.
I know that with the early bulky all-in-one units, I actually preferred the two-piece arrangement. The camera-only unit that had to be wired to the main deck was much lighter than any of the early all-in-one units. It was only when the mini sizes (Hi8, VHS-C) started to become popular that camcorders got light enough to be comfortable again.
Great relic, though!
Thanks. It's an old flip clock from the 70s made by Ricoh. I got it from eBay years ago-- it's still a good place to look for these types of things.
I couldn't for the life of me, get any decent pictures with the lighting how it was, in the room. They all turned out grainy, so I resorted to using flash, which is why these pictures seem a bit off, but it was better than nothing.
Pretty simple set-up. No where near as classy as some of the set-ups I've seen posted in this thread. Not too keen on it, myself, but it's what I'm making do with at the moment.
