Are they blurry? Do you have a tri-pod or a shelf you can set your camera on? If you are taking your pictures from a cell phone try leaning on something to steady yourself, and the blurriness shouldn't be as harsh. :)

oo thx for the tips. Nope not from a cellphone and not blurry. Just very dull. Taking it with a point and shoot canon digicam set to "auto". Maybe it's the lighting or something i'm not sure..but i'll try putting it on a shelf like you suggested.

Well I have changed my setup quite a bit recently.
Also re arranged my room so i have all my audio eqipment near my desk ^^. Things will change again on friday as I get my B&W 685 speakers to replace the current mission 750le's.
Nothing too special...
Oh and before anyone has a go at me, I like sketching those dragons so much I just leave em where they are so if I get bored I just take out my wacom tablet and "let go" ^^
Enjoy...

Here's mine.

MacBook Pro 2,4GHz 2GB Ram 250GB HDD Unibody (Will be remplaced by Apple, the screen has light bleeding)
Wired Apple Keyboard (Love it, still has the "new" smell :D)
Cheap optical Microsoft Mouse (The Mighty Mouse sucks)
Rolodex Monitor Stand (Like it and cheap at 40$)
Sennheiser HD 202 (Awesome 40$Can headphones)

I also have a Wacom Bamboo that isn't plugged at the moment. Will be permanently plugged once I get the designated desk for my setup since this table is where I do everything, eat, work, play (I'm a student).

Wire management sucks right now, but it's a lot better since I got the stand. The majority of the wires are held in the back with plastic grip that came with the stand, awesome to keep the extension of the Magsafe at desk level and managing the ****ing long wire of the microsoft mouse.

(YES it's bubble wrap. Everything to keep the beast scratch free)

OOOOOOOoooooo..... I wish I had that setup, What monitors are those? I see them EVERYWHERE.


Also do you notice a significant difference when you use those "monitor isolators" (foam under monitors) I have thought about getting them for my KRK's.

They are Yamaha HS-50M... they sound awesome...as for the foam, they're "Aurelex MoPADS"
They isolate the monitors so the sound you hear is not colored by whatever stand or desk that they rest on...(vibrations, resonance, etc.) making the monitors accurate.

Love the monitors, could they double as televisions, obviously you wouldnt want three tvs but I'm wondering if they would work for dual purpose.

Will take some better photos when my desk is finished by the end of next week at the latest but here's some of my setup. Sort of temporary atm.

Everything you see is wired up and working. The mic and guitar are also connected to the macbook along with the iPod, speakers and external HDD.

Nice wallpaper on your acer!! ^^^
Click to expand...

Had to have it :p It did have windows 7 on but it got chomped on by viruses... I've never had a virus scanner in 5 years on it and I downloaded a program I wanted for it and it was a virus (I knew it was deep down)... An excuse to get MY NEW MACBOOK! :D

Theres nothing on the 5year old acer but I use it for the extra screen, put lyrics and song tabs up and stuff whilst recording. Looks the part anyway with the OS X flagship wallpaper
