It's a Model M 84-key spacesaver. It was assembled August 28, 2007 and, to the best of my knowledge, was the last one ever produced.

Beautiful setup, thinking about getting that desk myself. Is that a 23" ACD?

I've been trying to hunt that thing down here in the UK since August, or more or less when I first asked about yours way back then.

I still can't find anybody with them here, they either once had them, sold our or discontinued. :/

I even tried to get the Corepad XXL set, once again, none in stock or discontinued. :/

I don't understand why they are so hard to come by here, either not much demand for them to stock any or only so many have been made.

there is actually a script written by someone to get the PC functionality into OS X:

meanwhile, would still love to see someone with the new iMacs with a z-10 setup

That's cool. I figured there'd be some kind of hack to get it to work. As for me, the speakers, though awesome, are way too big for my desk. I'm just using my iMacs internal speakers right now until I find a suitable set of good-sounding speakers with a small footprint.

Pah, it ain't a real Model M unless it was made in Greenock! I tried using a buckling spring board last year (NTC with alps sliders), but I found it too fatiguing compared to rubber membraine or scissor springs.

Nice. What do you think of Cherry KBs?

haven't posted since last April, slow and ugly, but functional.

first 4 pics are my home office, the widescreen LCD on the left is powered by a dual 1.3 GHz Sawtooth. The LCD the far right is powered by a 350 MHz B&W and is used only for watching movies. If you look closely, you'll see a 3400c below the stack of papers under the G3's monitor. Not pictured are my PB 1.67 on the living room coffee table, my 500 and 700 MHz iBooks, and my 500 MHz TiBook.

All the G4's are running Leopard.

BTW, the TV is a 1985 Sony. Between the TV and the G3's LCD is a "docking station" where my PB sits to share internet with the G3 when needed and to back up with Time Machine to one of the externals.

the last picture is my setup at work. A dual 867 MDD.

That setup is sick! Love the screen! HP is definitely doing a good job with the design of the LCD's.

I got a Ripper XXL delivered to the UK by PCXmods.com. Even though their site doesn't allow you to order for international delivery, I sent them an email through their contact form. The man got back to me very quickly, and apologized that none of their EU suppliers stocks the item, but said that he could handle the order personally—I emailed him my postal address, and he sent me a Paypal invoice. The whole thing was very smooth!

Ironic that, thats who I've contacted and he said the same thing. Apparently its supply and demand thats making these things so hard to come by.

He did say the postage was relatively high. "$34.20 USD which is about 16.40 British Pounds"

Finally got round to taking a pic

Not the best photo I've ever taken, its bloomin gloomy here...
I'm very very pleased with it as it stands, got the Spyro's the other day and have an MX Revolution and USB hub on the way to hopefully sort out some of the mess of cables
I'm loving Leopard and my MacBook, one very happy customer

Heres mine, i don't have all of the fancy stuff you guys have, but it's decent for an 8th grader. =] Haha and those speakers are all for looks to hide up the cords behind them, my macbook's speaker is louder than they are.

btw anyone know of any good screen cleaning stuff for my macbook?

 

[iamdavor]

Beautiful setup, thinking about getting that desk myself. Is that a 23" ACD?

Unfortunately no, a 20". 23" Though I feel would be ideal for the desk. It the "Jonas" model from Ikea.

Oh man, this is exactly what I had been looking to buy (or make myself) can you post instructions, what materials you used, etc? It would be fantastic if you could.
