Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 4)

[iMpathetic]

yes that would be extremely cool!!!!

i bet it wouldnt take that long either for things that are black/aluminum to start comming out...

Agreed. it took about 8 months after the release 9f the iMac for iMac clones in candy colored plastic to come out...

First came the iMac.

eMachines, before being bought out by Gateway, produced the eOne, the iMac's bastard child.

Then, last year, from the dust of the eOne, the One was introduced. Apparently, the white Core 2 Duo iMac had twins, and they looked like...

I think that Apple should sue Gateway for copying the iMac twice, and I should sue Gateway for the eOne and One being so fugly.

No, this is actually my desk (without the hutch), on sale now and really easy to assemble

JackArc, is that desk made of solid wood or is it particleboard/fibreboard? My current desk is made out of medium density fibreboard and it's sagging in the middle. I love that desk and might buy one in the near future but I'm definitely looking for solid wood this time around.

Mac Pro
MacBook Pro
iPhone w/bluetooth headset
30gb 5th Gen iPod
Creative Speakers
20" Cinema Display
160gb Lacie Porche HD
120gb MacBook Pro HD inside OWC external case
M-Audio Keystation 49-e
Logic Studio
Final Cut Studio 2
Aperture 2
And other stuff not seen...

And apologies for the crappy photo... my Olympus DSLR is in need of repair so I just took a quick shot.

I love this setup. Nice paint color! Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing your a Logic Studio user?

I'm gonna say it again, but don't put your accoustimass (shut up, i know, i spelled it wrong) on top, put it on the floor, it belongs there, and if possible, put it in a corner.

 

[Pili]

i would but there is no hole in the desk to run the wires down, and i dont want have wires running down the front of the desk.

Actually mostly use PS and aperture but I enjoy great sound

 

[tjespo22]

some of these setups are awesome. i cant wait to get my new room downstairs with a nice desk and comfy chair

Hey - pretty sure it is solid wood. It is very heavy and very sturdy. No real complaints with the desk whatsoever. Hope that helps

I love these threads...it gives me so many ideas!

Ditto. I think I want a new desk instead of the crappy worktable I have, the kind they use at church dinners.

But, I did get my 2.2GHz Blackbook today! OK, OK, I know it's kinda pointless telling y'all now. I can't set it up till Tuesday, so...

Yay!

Well, how is the speed overall for you? My previous computer was a 2GHz Core Duo Thinkpad, and it's been great so far.

I can't stand the white color, it makes it look less professional IMHO. Black is a little rarer and more suave. What do you think about the whole white/black debate?

EDIT: Oh, and QCassidy, mine is used. Just FYI. I am not pissed about the updates!

Hahhahahhaahaha, I love the fugly part -- those machines definitely fit the bill!

Well, doesnt matter, a family computer, mostly my moms, it sits in the kitchen, but i dont care, ive got my own powerhorse in my room for my video work, and my little photo, and music work. Its not insanely powerful, but i would say its the second most powerful in the mac lineup (MP first). I wanna see what they'll pull out on tueday.

As for the white/black, i would say black, and plus black matches the imac, but the white macbook as the nice smell!! the white looks like a toy, but is pretty, but then wait, and you'll want a blackbook, problem is the grease stuff.

What DJ program and needle do you use?

I use M-Audio Torq re-wired into Ableton Live for more effects. The needles that I use are Ortofon's Digitracks.

After looking at all these setups over the years, I've decided to post up my own.

Are both the monitors hooked up with your MBP? (Nice feature with that extra little box you can buy) Dual monitors (23+inch per monitor) is pretty sweet on a MBP.

Nice setup man.

EDIT: Changing that, was tired in the middle of the night here, can you hook up the monitors? ^^

Yeah I hear ya...I see so many ideas like cable-hiding, location of a card reader , lamps, desks, and color-schemes...



I have had my MBP for about 2 months and can't wait to post my setup

Oh man, when I had my mini I had this beastly cable-hiding scheme. Everything was lumped behind it so when you walked in the room, it looked repulsive, but when you sat down, it was wire-free Nirvana. The only wire was that of my keyboard. (visible, anyway.)

Nice setup man.

How do you think he has his MBP connected to both monitors when it's obvious from the photos that there are no cables connected to the MBP?! I didn't know the new models came with wireless monitor capabilities! Also, from the XP theme/scheme it's pretty obvious that the LCDs are connected to his IBM tower.
