Exactly! Plus, who'se going to remember their laptop when they're passed out in somebody's bathroom?
It's actually a gray metal, but it does look kind of like it's made of wood in the photo -- I guess the lighting did that...
I picked it up on eBay a while back.
Yeah, the desk is an average height -- it's somewhere betwen 28 - 30" (I don't have a measuring tape handy ;-))
Yeah, when I first started setting up wallmounts, I was thinking that the monitors are hanging over the desk anyway -- how much space was I really gaining? Turns out, quite a bit -- for instance, my little audio mixer is now sitting right where a monitor stand would have been in my old setup. Things like that can go right under the monitors; it works nicely.
I have some Vantage Point UL01-B mounts (http://www.amazon.com/Vantage-Point-Ul01B-30-Inch-Swivel/dp/B000K10E1Y) -- I bought them because they were cheap, fit my needs and were available locally.
They're relatively flexible -- a good range of motion horizontally, and they tilt up and down. They're probably not the most flexible mounts out there... but they work great for me (since I have three monitors, I'm limited as to how much I can move them around if I want to keep them bumped up next to each other.)

If I owned a Mac Pro, you couldn't PAY me to keep it in my dorm room
btw, you get a new camera? I remember this setup being more blurry last time
LOL, I meant to quote the guy that said he brings his laptop to parties, not the guy who says you shouldn't.
Clarification: If you bring your laptop to a party, you haven't been to a party.

Lol trust me I keep my room locked all the time though I dont think many people know about it anyways besides for close friends.
Last picture could have been with my phone, don't remember but I usually use a d50.
Everybody at my school has a $3000+ computer and many have additional desktops that they've brought from home and nobody locks their doors here... its very strange for "outsiders."
We have maybe 5 thefts a year MAYBE
I dont think it happens that much here but you never know I suppose. I think the majority of people here wouldn't know what they were looking at.
I go to school in a poor area and if my fellow dorm-mates found something shiny, it would be GONE
whether they knew what it was or not...its a syntax olevia 30" lcd
i want to get rid of it and get a dell 30" lcd or a 30" cinema display
Lol, thats because its the mini/portable version. I just keep my music on there so that I can plug my tunes into my powerbook if I need to.
In the area where I live, break-ins are a regular occurrence. In my instance, individuals steal things from out-of-town college students. I was not making an absolute statement, please don't assume I am that shallow
