Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 20)

[Apple fanboy]

Maybe a bit fast after my last nostalgic purchase but couldn't resist this beauty in near mint condition:

I so much love the kind of warmth of these old LCD's!
It's an iMac G4 from 2002 with 1GHz, 768MB, 80GB and the previous owner (first owner) had the Airport card installed at the time of purchase, nice extra!

My favourite iMac design.

I wanted to ask you any issues during initial installation in terms of the keyboard drivers without the need to in-re-install the Bloomberg Keybaord drivers?

Looking to run this myself ... do you prefer a patrullar VM?

All fine with the keyboard, kind of works worse in OSX than in windows virtualisation with Bloomberg.
I use vmware.

Updated setup
What changed: Added a second box, both have one sub
Removed the X230 and added the Z506
Removed the iPad as a third screen (wasn't really practical or even useful)

Updated Dorm Setup

I wanted a 17-Inch MacBook Pro, so...

Last addition for the foreseeable future, I promise!

But how can you walk away from the top of the bill, last of an era, quite rare and in good condition PowerBook G4 17"? It has a 1.67GHz G4, 2GB DDR2(!), Dual Layer SuperDrive and the hi-res display with a hefty 1680 x 1050 pixels :O . I had to pick it up since these last PowerBooks didn't sell at all considering that the Intel switch was around the corner and people were waiting for that to happen. I'm very happy with this special Powermac in my collection of antique Apple's!

Update my setup to switch to an iMac 27"

Nice setup!

And here I’m thinking of doing the exact opposite, i.e. trade my iMac for a new MacBook Pro/(Rumored) Air. What’s your reason for switching and how have you found the transition so far? Thx!

macbook performance is not enough for me compare to an iMac and the 5k screen
When i move i prefer my iPad setup now since iOS 11

Can you find that keyboard anywhere nowadays?.

Can you find that keyboard anywhere nowadays?.

I was lucky a few years back found one new sealed on eBay. But the wired one would have been better it has an old version of bluetooth it takes forever to connect.

I found one on the bay... I used to love these.

Dunno why..Ha!

Feels a bit shonky.

They’re very easy to clean, I’ve even managed to get rid of... rat pee... don’t ask. Should be fine buying second hand.

Rat pee? Do you have pet rats? I love rats, btw.

No, these were like wild rats. The keyboard was on the floor of some old building in Amsterdam along with some old Apple computers. Wanted to throw it away, but it’s such a great keyboard

My current work-in-progress set up in my new house. I'm coming from a 3 foot glass desk that I used since high school so this set up is long overdue. Not pictured to my left is my Yamaha portable grand keyboard and a 15-panel Nanoleaf Aurora configuration in the shape of a music note. The desk is a sit/stand desk with a 4-memory programable user panel. The speakers are Bose and are nothing too special. No subwoofer or audio control interface or anything like that. The monitors are 2x 24" LG 4K monitors connected via DisplayPort to USB C cables.

Still working on wire management and adding peripherals but it's about 90% done at this point. I need to work on the space as a whole at this point. I have a shelf next to the desk that I'm working on getting cleaned up and lit with some strip lighting so I'm sure there will be more pics to come.

Suggestions are welcome!

Looks cool! How do you connect anything via USB if all ports all full? You could mount a USB hub under the desk, works great for me. I like the power adapter on top of the desk, easy acces.

I have a 7 port USB 3.0 hub mounted under the desk and a power strip/surge protector mounted as well with all wires neatly managed! Great minds think alike

Ah, you’re all set. Now I feel stupid with my 4 port hub

Been spending less time in the man cave lately and I like the light in the kitchen, so I have been doing some of my work in here, lately.

Cor! Nice kitchen.

Cor! Nice kitchen.

Thanks! We spend a lot of time in there on the weekends. Whether we are on our Macs or just drinking coffee or eating and listening to music.

I really haven't change my computer setup, but I did clean up my computer desk and calibrated my monitors. Yes, I know I'm terrible with cable management, but I have always been even when I was building PCs.

The last of my improvements. Now featuring grass, a lamp, and a panoramic view.
