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

Picked up a 2007 iMac for cheap (couldn't resist) which had 1gb of ram and had OS X 10.5 / Windows 7. Upgraded the ram with a 2gb chip (3GB now) and then the OS to Mountain Lion but kept Windows 7. Connected my E-Blue Cobra Jr mouse, Logitech K750 keyboard and Logitech X120 speakers. So far it's a quick machine and runs great!

Put an SSD in there and you'll be amazed how quick it gets

I normally would but the process sounds way more involved then in my other macs, i'm a bit hesitant to take the screen off and perhaps damage the unit.

Hello, i was using the Ae A5+, it sounds good but i buyed a pair of Presonus Eris E8, it sounds awesome. Presonus better than Audio Engine exactly. I would definitely recommend the presonus eris e8, not ERIS E5. I will post my mac setup soon.

it's actually much easier than the 2009+ iMacs. I put a Samsung 830Pro in my 2007 with 6GB RAM and it's a surprisingly quick little machine.

Ah nice mate! Your signature indicates that you have a second MacBook Pro, I'm curious of what model, if you don't mind me asking.

My second is a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2008; 2.4 GHz C2D, 8GB RAM, 320GB HDD). Planning to put an SSD in it which should make it nice and snappy with El Capitan :)

What apps are you using (left / right)?

On the left it's just Safari with my universities BlackBoard environment, and on the right it's Microsoft Word for Mac 2016 (Beta) as has been said :)

Thanks for posting that. That's quite a nice setup, where'd you get that desk? It's quite nice.
 
I purchased this Malm desk this past weekend. Still need a monitor and chair. Which monitor do you have in the picture?

It's an IKEA MALM desk, but I'm not sure if they're still in the stores :#

I believe that's the Galant. I have the same desk in my basement.

How do you like it? I'm trying to find something that won't take up too much space and will have room for 2 24-27" monitors, an iMac, a subwoofer, and potentially a MacBook Pro stand and external hard drive.

I like it. Simple and sturdy. In that image there is a 23" display and a 24" display. There's room for everything you said, especially if you're willing to have a monitor hang over the edge. But you could fit 2 27" displays completely within the dimensions of the desk, but I like to have one monitor directly in front of me. There is a mini cable shelf under the desk toward the back where I keep my external hard disk.
