Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 19)

[bigrobb]

This is my most used set-up the other is in the formal office which is only used now and then and for my iTunes streaming

This is in my living room and its my brand new rMBP refurb I got last week and the Rutledge BookBook Case for the retina 13.3 Pro. I love it, got the Logitech bluetooth mouse as well. When not in use (and that is not very often) I tuck the mouse away and close up the case and it looks like I am reading a nice old book in my chair when guests come over

Is that thing the computer is sitting on part of the chair or is it an attachment? I have been looking for something like that. If it's an attachment do you remember where you got it?

Made me laugh.

Hey all,

This was my setup in 2011 with a 2.2 i7 Quad Macbook Pro and a 23inch Cinema Display.

Then a modified version:

And now, I have this:

30inch Cinema Display that I purchased off craigslist for 100dlls! Nothing wrong with the display, this rich dude just got 4Ks for his new Mac Pro.

Then the 2011 Mac Mini - Belkin N+ as a Gigabit switch (all my apt is wired) - Bose Companion III - Yeti Mic - headphones - LG 23 inch display for Chromecast, Mac Mini and Xbox (in the back) - 2 lacie drives, one for storage and one for TM.

Despite it's age, I still LOVE the Cinema Display. It looks great, matte screen with a great design. It also came with the Dual Link DVI to MDP. Manufactured in 2009.

Very temporary setup.

Been meaning to send this in for a while but finally took a photo yesterday afternoon as I was running out the door. Crap quality because I suck at taking photos.

It's from IKEA. I have one as well. They were discontinued a couple years ago here in the states.

Darn.. Really want one, I'll have to look around. I use their plastic ones now, their nice but I'd rather have a leather one. Thanks!

 

[JasonR]

Which model?

The $2k model - whatever one that is.

The pad and desk are both from ikea (I bought off CL).

The desk is cool - it's a white glass.

Mind sharing some info about your office/house? Very old walls those, no?

Perfect example of how people should post in this thread

The network Monitor you have on the displays, what is it ?

The white big ones are Apple's design.
You see, they have this clean and white design, which makes everything easier. In a single sentence: it-just-works. We call it iNote.

clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!

Each one will be avaiable next month, starting at 9.90 dollars for each giant post it.

clap clap clap clap!!!

Oh!

One more thing...
... we will be carbon free next month!

And the crowd goes crazy with this simple 75 grams A4 overrated paper!

Sadly, I'll be ditching my elaborate triple computer quad monitor setup for this while I'm out of state, the Starbucks is a decent compensation though

 

[SimonUK5]

New-ish setup. Same Mac Pro, new Monitors.

 

[S.B.G]

The Mini Display Port adapter just arrived and I hitched up the 20" cinema display to the iMac.

My first Mac was a 2006 (I think) Mini. I still had a PC laptop until about a month ago, but after using the iPhone and iPad I wanted to move toward an all Apple setup. It was paired with an older Apple BT Keyboard, a Magic Mouse, and a spare Envision 19" LCD that I had laying around.

I sold the older Mini to put toward my iPad 3rd Gen. Same monitor and mouse, upgraded to the new style keyboard. This setup had to be in our dining room, the apartment we lived in at the time was a one bedroom and there was no room for my desk in the bedroom.

Upgraded my monitor to a 23" Dell S2340M LED. Still in the dining room.

Same setup, but we moved to a two bedroom. I had an "office" for about three months until we found out my wife was pregnant. I gladly turned my office into a nursery and moved the desk in to our bedroom I later added back the 19" LCD to run a dual screen setup on the Mac Mini.

I traded the Late 2012 Mac Mini for a Late 2011 MBP. When I am at my desk it gets hooked up to the Dell monitor and runs in dual screen mode. The iPad is an Air with a Logitech tablet keyboard. It has since been sold for an rMini.

When I don't feel like sitting at my desk I move the MBP and the mouse (usually) to either the dining room or the coffee table.

Nice set up. I want to get an external monitor for my MBP. Any good recommendations? The Apple display is too expensive for my budget. If I can miraculously keep it under $200 that'd be great.
