how do people stand their MacBooks (Pros) so far away from their external monitor? How do you see the internal screen when working on the external?
How? I just move it to the left. 
Why? Because I don't use the internal display. I use a 30" display to surf the web, it's overkill already!

many probably dont use the laptop screen much. I use a 30 ACD and I don't use my mbp screen at all.
Cheers,
I'm not sure how to get the cabling tidier on the MBP... It seems that the ACD's single cable idea has it's downsides, as I'm stuck as to where to put the power adapter as the cable is really short.
On a side note, can you buy replacement ACD cables anywhere? eBay just seems to have the power adapter (brick).

Many people use the laptop as a secondary monitor for notification.
They put their email clients, IM clients twitter, so on on the laptop so that it is easy to see if they receive anything new. Kinda like a large screen version of growl.
or Documentations for when they are coding. they don't need to look at it all the time, just need a fast view of the docs for a few min at random time.
That is what I do and I still have mine closer than some people. I use both but I have a junk external monitor that is only taller than my PowerBook's built in display
I like how the desktop wallpapers match the lamp. The only question is: Do you limit yourself to orange wallpapers or do you have a selection of lamps to go with a range of wallpapers...?
That's some great organization skills there buddy. I would've never thought to put the studio drive inside the elevator stand. Serves double duty...you take advantage of the functional space & you get the Knight Rider look with the WD drive lights at the same time! Thumbs up!
Thanks! I was trying to find a way to clear up desk space, because my desk is tiny. And before if I wanted to do written work while charging my computer or anything then there was practically no room and the lack of space became a real nuisance. And this way I can put the keyboard on top of the hard drive along with the mouse and have enough desk space to do other written work.
Is that a white or black MacBook? I cannot tell. It looks like a mixture of a unibody and a black.
It is a unibody with Speck See-thru Satin black hard case
It's what the cool kids use
Its a Speck Satin hard case :]
(on a unibody)

True that!
Speck its the new seethru for the macbook/pro unibody
