Nice. Clean and bright; I also kind of like the way the hutch shields the iMac; anyone know what I mean?
Here is my setup at school. Its not exactly easy to fit it all on a college desk and still have room to do work! Plus I can't bring in my own furniture since I still live on campus this year. cable management=impossible...I added some pics of my custom apple cube I just finished making. Let me know what you think. I use the VAIO on the far right for some programs I need to run for my comp. engineering classes. a.k.a. I don't have any money to buy another license for XP to put on my MBP...otherwise I would sell that thing in a heartbeat and put the money towards a Macpro.

The only picture I have of the set up currently. (look beyond the drums).
Note: my computer chair is covering my Macbook
V-Drums and a Mac Pro. Sweet setup man.
Loving the modded cube, I always loved the classic logo but still like the current logo because it's backlit. Too bad there was never a backlit classic logo straight from Apple. Looks like a lot of equipment to have at school, hope your doors lock better than ours do

Haha, no kidding!
Oh, and don't forget to get out every now and then. It looks like you have the world at your hands there, but it's true what they say (mostly) - college is the best time of your life.
Thanks! The cube took me some time...mostly to get the money together. And I couldn't really decide what color to make the apple but I couldn't resist the classic look. It just works so well with the rest of the cube. Doors lock pretty well our common room door has a deadbolt!
Im on a D1 swim team so getting out is a once a week thing(If I am lucky)
But when we do we make sure we have fun
Having all this stuff on my desk makes for a great distraction from Calc III work...
15.4 MBP, lars & ivan speakers, 16GB ipod touch and a 360Gb hard drive oh and my dvd's, and yes, i am working on the wires!
ahhhhh and the view when you look with your back to the desk! hehehehe
sick spearks (in a good way) are those babys hooked up to any amps? or sraight to the MBP
neat setup
I know this is of topic but seeing your cans of coke urges me to ask you a question...
Im searching for light redbull about 30 cases (each case is 24 cans) is for export, for a party im having in Lima (and no here we do not have light red bull)
thx ANYBODY PLEASE im searching for about 3 weeks and prices I see are very high.
Hows that for homemade stand ay?? Nice work, and nice macbook pro. When i got my first laptop i had no desk lol all i had was my lap.
I would make holes in the box for passing the cables, and a cople of spaces in front por a mult card reader and a drive.
it looks so cool
I think that box is brilliant. You just need to get a sharpie and dress it up a little. I recommend cutting out holes for card readers and such as suggested above - but labeling them as such. Think P-p-p-p-owerbook.

Absolutely, that box is really cool. You should sell the idea to Griffin or something -- I'd love to buy an Elevator-type stand that has a compartment under the laptop itself with space for all the ugly cables, plus a built-in USB hub.
I heart my iMac.
I like the printer on a box. I think we really need to start seeing more expensive electronics on boxes - any way you can unmount the iMac from its base and lean it up against some cardboard?
Now that'd be a sweet setup.
It's basically the same minus the large directional buttons and number pad (and F13-19 keys).
LOL, its like people who buy big expensive houses then can't afford to put furniture in them! hahaha "We gots a big expensive house but nowheres to sit"
