Replaced the old iBook with a unibody Macbook. Other than that, nothing's changed.
Still love your setup, hmai18. I looked up that Allsop moniter stand and it turns out it's about $60 at Staples, which was a little steep for me, so I ended up making my own, but if I still had a Macintosh setup, yours is pretty much what I'd want it to be. Nice big desk, a bamboo plant, a PS3 or Xbox and a MacBook with an Ultrasharp Monitor. Very nice!
Nice keyboard too. I swear my by classic BT keyboard. The new ones are awful.
How exactly would that work? 5 more inches in diagonal space, but nothing more in height?
I don't think that Pythagoras would be very happy with you right now.
My 15" MBP and my 19" LCDTV are at the same height on my elevator. Should be close at least.

Whats that thing your externhal display is standing on?
Edit: NVM
Also..have you been experiencing any probs with running an external display? Mine keeps going black every couple of minutes(MB 2.4+Syncmaster).
That's kind of ridiculous. I paid $35 for it here in the US. And I kind of have mixed feelings about the classic BT keyboard. I love being wireless and having the number pad there, but I prefer typing on the chiclets. However, I refuse to pay $60 for the new scaled down BT keyboard and would rather avoid the wired USB one.
About the screen, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I have my power settings set to turn my screen off after 15 minutes of idle, so that's about it.
Is the ACD just hooked up the mbp?
but without any pictures on the wall it makes it look very clean and nice.
i like it a lot.

It's hooked up to the mbp. When I travel, my wife hooks up our old mb and uses the same setup. It's almost like a docking station, we are very happy with it.
Glad you like it!

I need that desk!!! Where did you get it?
Its from Pottery Barn. It's the Bedford collection.
where are all your wires, through the wall or something?? nice clean set up and i love the desk!
nice fit on the MP620. I've been keeping an eye out at Euroway for a nice desk, I may have to take Pottery Barn into consideration as well
The black deal on the left side of the desk has a charger / surge protector in it. Most of the wires are in there. The rest I routed along the back of the desk to keep them hidden. I'm kinda OCD with wires.
Thats a 19" Sodium (yeah i know, no name, but my 32" sony stopped working, so i needed something here and now for my PS3 ;-) )
Thanks ;-)
Wow, I absolutely love your setup, no wires, & clean and simple. I really like your box collection/display as well. I've been saving my boxes for a while now, just haven't truly put them on display. One of the better setups here in my mind.
Glad you like the box setup. My wife thinks I am nuts. I generally say, "Whatever, just give me your Apple box".
