i paid 40 dolars, but im in Argentina
¿Dónde lo compraste en Argentina? (Where you bought it in Argentina?)
Yea I know about that, but if I can build it cheaper, I would just do that.
I already have a Griffin Elevator, but I think it would be a fun project to build one - maybe out of aluminum.
I like the blue-stemmed Cherry keyswitches (high tactile feedback).vicious7 said:

I think this is some of the first real hardware I've seen in this thread! HP LJ4 (mine is still going strong after 270,000 pages) a Sparc, & what looks like a ThinkPad? Oh & what's the model of the keyboard - it almost looks like a HHKB?
I've had a big change in setup, I got fed up of having 3 different computers to maintain and admin. So I've taken everything back to the bone.
From this:

To this:
I'm just now using the macbook pro instead of the Mac Mini/Ultra small pc/Macbook Pro plus 24in dell screen.
It much easier on the time I need to maintain the machines with just one to worry about.

Very nice. I love the clean lines of your desk and shelf. It works very well with your simple setup.

What kind of desk is that/where did you get it? The wife and I are looking for something we can put all the way around a room so we can share an office but each have enough space. Your desk looks like it would be about perfect.
HP LJ4 Plus (bought it off a guy for EIGHT DOLLARS, six years ago and it has been rock solid...WITH jetdirect card, BTW). Thinkpad X60s running the latest Ubuntu distro (7.10). Sun Ultra 5 runs headless (although I have a suitable monitor and keyboard/mouse to run as a workstation when I feel like it). That keyboard is the HHKB Pro (blank keytop version). And, of course, the greatest pointing device ever made, the Logitech Trackman Marble.lost eden said:

You sir, win many foodstamps.
My LJ4 M Plus was £11.34 with JetDirect & a toner that lasted over 1000 pages. Bloody incredible machines.
I have recently started using a Kensington Expert trackball, upgraded from a Microsoft Trackball Explorer & am truly loving it. I have to say that I actually prefer the centrally-mounted ball over the side-mounted ball of the Microsoft & the Trackman. I just love the way I can use multiple fingers when I want to, instead of just a thumb - I often find myself with a thumb & 3 or even all 4 fingers on the ball at the same time when I'm doing something precise in InDesign & never have less than 2 fingers at any time. Still, all these people still using mice for desktop/web activities
I can understand simplifying (heaven knows I want to from my current 5 machine setup!) but why ditch the Dell monitor? It's a damned sight better than the MBP's panel, so why not keep it on the desk & 'dock' (as it were, seeming as no Mac laptops actually have docks) the MBP? If not, you can always post it to meGordy said:

It was just to big and I was trying to limit the cables I have to plug in to just power and one usb port.
I thought I would miss the big screen, but I haven't one bit. It's in it's box behind me in the office still, but it will going soon when I find the time.
I'm on lots and lots of forums, but yes you'd have seen me on hexus and hardforums
Updated setup, thanks to recent purchases...
All three machines:
iMac (which is headed to work for office duties) and 2.2 Macbook:
And the new Mac Pro:
I need new desks.

...new MB fits nicely next to the PC setup. I could do a little wire cleanup!

Looks pretty nice, what's the MacBook sitting on?
Yes it is, good spot!

That is a nice photo, I have always wanted one like that. I have lived in Bristol on-and-off for the last 6 years and there was a shop near me in Redland that sold that sort of photos. Its a great landmark to take photos of.
Thanks. It's sitting on a Cooler Master laptop cooler. Works pretty well - it shaves off between 6-10 degrees off the operating temp depending on what I have going on.
I used to live in the church directly opposite the gallery that did them. My girlfriend got it for me. It's one of my favorite pictures.
