I have been searching for a new desk, but this one has been doing ok. I use my laptop a lot while using the desktop, so I need the extra little room to fit it on there.

This is a 20" iMac 2.4, 15" Macbook Pro 2.4, and a 19" Dell monitor which I use for photo editing.

The Macbook pro is a lot more responsive than the iMac is. I put 3gigs of RAM in both and Aperture/Handbrake are faster on the Macbook Pro.
I did do a fresh install of leopard on the Macbook pro though, and just an upgrade on the iMac. That could possibly have something to do with it. Both are awesome though.

I am not sure, but it is one of the presets offered in Leopard. It may even be in Tiger as well :)
 
Here's my little setup. I'm in the process of re-organizing the cables and re-arranging the room. I'm imagining simplicity and less clutter.

Sorry about the bad picture.

My two only sources of heat because I will not turn on the thermostat. It got down to near freezing last night. :(

This was my favorite place today while watching football. :)

i live about 2 1/2 hours from the nearest ikea.
not the end of the world, but it would be a world better if they offered everything online
 
Urm... it's not as bad as it looks :eek:

Although, one thinks a tidy wouldn't go amiss.

SUB. ON. THE. FLOOR. NOW!!

Lol, its brand new, one of the main reasons why my desk is a mess, so I haven't homed it yet.


Why should the sub go on the floor, am I about to rip a hole in the space time continuum or something?

Yes. You are :(


The sub is designed for bass response. If the sub is on the desk, the area underneath your desk turns into a horrible echo-chamber.

If the sub is on the floor, you get the benefit of feeling the bass through your feet and the floorboards.

Because a subwoofer is an omnidirectional sound source, meaning you don't have to have it pointed right at you to get the right sound. In fact, as others have pointed out, if you have it pointed right at you you're diminishing the effect, not making it better. It needs to be on the floor, ideally in a corner, but definitely NOT on a desk, table, or any other raised surface that can become a crappy source of vibration. I've never understood what makes people think these big subs are supposed to go on top of their desks.
