Here is yet another one of my set-ups. Certainly not as good as my set up for last year. This is just a temporary since I don't have enough wiring going from my Mac to my HDTV. And I'm going to be moving in a few months so I'm just going to leave it like this.
Thanks, there are more 360 games under the entertainment console - but those are just cases for arcade games.
The top row is all 360, the second row is all Xbox, and the bottom row is part Xbox and part Nintendo 64/SNES/NES games. I also have a nice DVD collection under the entertainment console. Despite all this, I don't game very often. Only when I'm sick or my friends want to play over Live.
Help defend your mac!
Hey all, I wast just wondering if I could get some help with an issue. I just bought my mbp and love it. I've never liked anything more. I've worked with windows based pc's building, fixing and programming them for 15 years now. I have to say the build quality kicks the crud out of any windows (winblows) based PC as well as the OS. I started a tread at notebookreview.com for the 15" mbp 08-09 and I'm having problems with some pc users bashing the new unibody and was hoping some of you might help a nub and pitch in to defend this great notebook. Thanks in advance if your helping,

New Set-up
Just picked up a Quad 2.66 Mac Pro, 6GB Ram, 640GB HD x2. Still undecided on my display set-up: Dual 24" LED, dual 23" ACD, or a single 30" ACD. Obviously, I'll either have to wait for a refurbished 23" (apple store) or find a new/used one on ebay. Cheers

I'd do a dual 24 LED because I cannot stand multiple screen brightnesses and dual 24 is more pixels than a single 30 unless you need a single big monitor.
+1
I second that. Dual 24's.
(yeahhhhhhhh that'd be sweet)
Thanks! I was leaning towards the dual 24's.. Plus, the wife loves the design, so I know I wont get the "do you really need another display" speech..
Does anyone want to buy a used 23" ACD /w applecare until Aug. 2011?? JK, but may be selling soon...
The LED monitor is nice, being new technology and all, but you should keep which one you like better (and then get another of that one). Look at resolution, the overall feel of the desk/workspace, and the whole glossy/matte issue. I wouldn't mind acquiring a 23" ACD
You two are just "anti-gloss" people.
If he wants dual 24's then more power to him, I say get whatever you want.
I personally think dual 24's look amazing.
Although dual (any ACD) looks great.
I wasn't even considering that the LED 24 was glossy because he had one already and did not know which he wanted so I said the LED because the backlight would have not dimmed any while a used 23 would have.
I do not like how the 24 led backlit looks with the 23 florescent backlit right beside each other.
The 23 matches the Mac Pro while the LED matches the MacBook
The only reason I do not like glossy is I have never used one to know if it is bad. If someone gave me a free MacBook I might like it but I do not know if I will. I am not going to buy a glossy unless I know if I like it. The people who do not like the glossy probably are less than the people who do but the anti glossy are more prominent online because all complainers well complain while the people who like it do not go and post threads "I love glossy screens" on the internet.
Ugh let's nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand... again...
Glossy or Matte, it's personal choice. You like what you like, thats it. Please don't share your preferences with everyone here as we have our own.
Now back to the setups!
Replying to my comment was a stupid thing to do.
If you guys aren't against the 24's than why did you recommend 23's
23's - older - smaller - less pixels
Obsolete
