Yeah, I'm looking for another place to put the shoes. The problems: There are close to forty pair of them, and my studio is only 420 sq ft. It's really my last great problem with the studio. The current solution is "acceptable," but not "ideal."
In this case, function follows form.
Cool idea, but isn't putting a CD/DVD in or plugging/unplugging USB stuff a bit of a chore?
I'm playing around with a a new setup. Not sure about the lamp placement. I might wall-mount the monitors. Opinions?
There are 4 USBs on the right monitor, so I can update my iPod, iPhone, plug additional stuff in, etc. CDs and DVDs are the only chore...but I really don't use them all that often. Once a week or less?
If he had a firewire drive that he wanted to connect, don't you think it would be cheaper to buy a 99p extention cable than buy a new monitor to replace what is already a perfectly good monitor?
Now that is swish, very clever
Must be a bit if a chore trying to use those two monitors when you're that close though
But we're talking about ACDs!!!
Connecting a drive via Firewire to the ACD still wouldn't be an option with the way he has it setup because the ports on an ACD face directly backward, precluding their use when the display is wall-mounted. On the Dells, two USB ports are on the side and two are on the back but face *down*, allowing them to be used no matter how the monitor is mounted.
ACDs are gorgeous monitors, and I have one at work and love it, but I'd be hard-pressed to name another product that does a more complete job of placing form over function. The aforementioned port placement, the buttons on the side that become obscured when you set up a second monitor, the stupid monocable that breaks out far too late so you get really short individual cables, the power brick (seriously, Apple, get with the times), and oh yeah only a SINGLE input. For my setup at work none of those things is a problem, but at home they're deal-killers.
IF he wanted a drive with easy access (which he has no need for) he wouldn't want it on his desk, since everything is wireless. He could run an external drive and mount in on the under side of the desk service so that he could easily hide the cable all the way to the computer...
I love the OP's setup btw.

What is that laptop!? It looks just like a blackbook...but waaay to too tiny.
It's a Blackbook... The bluetooth keyboard is the same size as the laptop and if you notice, it's in mirror mode with the TV, running OS X.
