I just finished setting up my new iMac and other new toys...

No. I won't be asking about your IKEA furniture or your screensaver. What I'm wondering is, how'd you manage that pattern on the particleboard on your wall? Looks fantastic!

The cork board on the wall is this...

The deskpad is Ikea. I like how it has the ledge that goes along the ledge of the table so it doesn't move.

The Griffin Simplifi works good so far. I've used to read my CF cards from my camera and docked my iPod. The iPhone dock is connected to 1 of the 2 usb ports on the back of it and it is working as well.


The desk isn't Ikea. I liked the Galant styling but I still wanted solid wood. So I found this..

It's actually a dining table made of solid rubber wood and decently priced. It's large/deep enough for what I wanted to.

Also from Ikea I added the wire manager/organizer underneath to it.

Ah, I guess the fact it wasn't turned on and had no :apple: indicators on it wasn't too obvious to me. And there are numerous "hacks" you can perform on PCs that has nothing to do with running a Mac OS.
Hope it's running good for you! I would be too afraid of incompatibility down the line. :eek:

What speakers are those? Is it possible to direct me to a link of where you bought them from? Thank you.

:apple::apple:


Yeah DL is right. Logitech Z-2300. I got them at the local closing Circuit City. They were $106. Which at the time rivaled the cheapest online prices. Then I had a $75 gift card to use up to go with it.

Runs great. I'll prob keep 10.5.4 even when snow leopard comes out until a compatible build.
