Many of us still live in the PowerPC days! For what I use it for (web surfing, email, classic OS apps & word processing) it's absolutely perfect. Has the best keyboard I've ever used & I see the MacBook Air as sort of a spiritual successor to the 12" G4 line.
You have 4 hds inside an iMac? I want to see that case mod!
Sure no worries. Just pop along to your local apple store and ask for the imac
I suppose technically I have 2 drives (which is plenty for me!).
Each to his own I suppose.
Long time since I last posted in this thread. Not that much has changed though.
I've added a MBA 13" for my University studies, and I've also upgraded from my old iPhone 4S to the Galaxy S4. As of now, this setup offers everything I need! The iMac + MBA truly is a great combo!
I bet that's a great combo. I've done Mac mini + iPad 2 for years, but recently replaced the iPad with an 11" MBA. Probably will be adding an iPad mini to the mix in the fall, and will definitely replace my 4S with a 5S within the next month.
I have a macbook air for work, its a very nice machine. But I also have 2 13" retina macbook pro where I work, and the screen is so incredible, plus the HDMI out. Personally I think the RMBP is the cutting edge computer of today!
nope. i updated to 10.8.4 from 10.8.3 no problem.
i did have to reinstall the audio driver but that was about it. for some reason, updating OS breaks the audio. but, it's an easy fix.
A rather quick update.

thanks, I have my wife to thank for keeping my office nice and green
also, definitely invest in a dual monitor stand for your setup, I'm using an Ergotron LX for a single monitor and it freed up so much useful space on my desk, not to mention the books the monitor was sitting on. Well worth the money.

Just wondering, did everything install without having to change much using multibeast?
yep. i just ran multibeast after the OS update and checked the appropriate audio driver and then restarted and then audio was back.
Great setup. Just noticed your power outlet. They look interesting haha. They plugs appear to be on a diagonal?
Congrats on the new desk. I will be replacing my desk soon as well. I am thinking of making it somewhat DIY/Custom. (Still IKEA parts mostly though
) Have you thought of mounting your computer like this:
Then you would have a cleaner look (IMO) then it on the ground. Nice setup btw.
Here is my newer setup, I've added a new monitor and some custom made (by me) accessories. I have a couple different set ups, see if you can spot the things I made.

That's a nice idea. Have never come across one of those before. However I like having the computer on the desk for three reasons;
1. It's drop-dead gorgeous
2. Easy access to ports/optical drives etc.
3. It's drop-dead gorgeous
My new desk arrived today & am currently typing this in the midst of about ten thousand nuts & bolts - so I'll post a pic when everything's all assembled & organised.
