Got a tip for us?

Love those old Logitech Z-2300's you got - was my first foray into high-end PC audio and man, that sub absolutely BANGS. Funnily enough the driver tech that Logitech used for their speaker drivers are from a company called 'Tang-Bang' - Not sure on the name lol.. But they're a nostalgic bit of kit for me.
A nice setup overall man!
Oh man the speakers go in hard! Legit dont see me replacing them anytime soon. But likewise thats when I first picked them up when I built my first PC a good numbers of years ago now.
My actual setup: MacBookPro (mid2017), LG Ultrafine 5K
I am very happy with the combo

How does the MBP handle the 5K, my late 13 struggles a bit with 4K so I have been thinking of upgrading?
5K is working flawlessly on the system. It seems the Radeon Pro 560 has much more power than the integrated Intel graphics chip. When using the attached ultrafine monitor it switches to the radeon chip with the higher performance.
I am not a gamer, so I can not really determine if it has enough power for playing ego shooters... But for multimedia and system animations it is really fast/brilliant. I am a happy customer

Thanks, good to know, I use the Mac for work (photoshop) and dev work. Will consider upgrading for sure
There isn't anything new about my computer setup, but a really gooding cleaning of my room. My computer table was getting really clutter and my computer screens were get really dirty. I must not have dusted in a year. I'm making it a New Year's Resolution to do a better job cleaning and dusting. Once I clean my monitors it was like I had a new computer even though it's a 2014 Apple 27" iMac with a 5K Display with a 13" Cintiq drawing tablet attached to it. Now I have to recalibrate my monitors for I'm sure the dirt on them was giving it a false color reading.
Mine...
Bedroom - not much has changed, just a new phone...
Living Room - Down to one Xserve now as the others died and one got sold...
I got a cheap 2007 Mac Mini for my TV, and using a 1st Gen iPad as the iTunes remote..

Not a Mac, but... My stationary, yet portable set-up.
Christmas setup!
Pretty minimalistic these days. The iMac & iPad combo covers most of my needs!

Nice setup man but what about the noise of a Xserve and Xraid in your livingroom? :O
It's only on when I need to backup a large amount of files, once per month at most.
The Xserve on it's own isn't too loud but the RAID is.
Well, having posted my work setup, I might as well post my evening/weekend study setup - 2017 15" MBP 2.9-16 // LG 4K Ultrafine.
Pretty much as close to the ideal setup as I could ask for. If I was to be greedy, I'd want either a second 4K in a vertical orientation, or the LG 5K as the main monitor and the 4K in vertical.

None of the above actually. It's just a 15 year old desk from Staples that has worn out hardcore. lol.
