Speakers suck though. I really need new ones.

Any ideas?

buy a stereo receiver and some good quality bookshelf speakers. will blow any PC speaker set out of the water guaranteed. throw in a subwoofer and you will be smiling ear to ear.

Home Office
A couple months back my wife got a new macbook and I took her old iMac. I have a unibody macbook pro so I don't really need a desktop but it is handy to leave on 24/7 for downloading, using the remote application on our phones (we have an airport express or apple tv in all the main rooms and bedrooms), and using it for basic stuff like e-mail and the internet. When I have to work from home I typically use my laptop but sometime I use the iMac along with it because of the dual screens (it really helps in my field).

20" iMac Intel Core2Duo w/ 3GB Ram
20" Cinema Display
Bose Companion 5 Speakers
Logitech MX Revolution
Logitech di Novo Edge, Mac Edition
Two 500GB G-Tech Q
One 750GB G-Tech Q
Not pictured is a Konica Minolta Color Laser, Epson Scanner, EyeTV Hybrid, Airport Extreme, and one 750GB el-cheapo maxtor drive (used to serve up media to Boxee on the Apple TVs, back when I only had a laptop at home I needed something on 24-7 for streaming). In other rooms there are 4 airport expresses (office, guest room, dining room, garage) and two apple TVs (living room, bed room).

24" iMac 2.4Ghz w/ 4GB RAM
22" Dell Monitor
15" Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz w/ 4GB Ram
LowKey iMac Stand
MStand
Logitech MX1100
Eikon Finger Print Reader (I come back to my desk a lot with different people to show them things, that way I don't have to enter my password in front of them)
Not pictured is a Fujitsu scansnap, HP BW laserjet, brother USB label printer, one g-tech 120GB FW800 drive and two 750GB Lacie Neil Poulton drives (time machine for desktop and laptop).

Lol, yeah it kind of does. I just mounted it last night. Before I got the iMac I had the ACD on the desk and would put my laptop on the side on a griffin elevator, but when I got the iMac I put the ACD on the side and it was too low. That put me over the edge for mounting it. I can sit in my recliner (to the left of the ACD) and just turn it that way and use teleport to control it from my laptop.

Nothing too special, but I like it:

uMBP, 20" LG LCD, Logitech MX518, Audioengine 2 speakers
500GB Seagate FreeAgent Pro hiding behind the MBP
80GB iPod classic, 8GB iPod touch 2G
Xbox 360 under the desk

Nice i use one too on my MBP with the dual displays. it works well. Mine is the digital edition also

I had issues getting to work originally - it would only work at 3360x1200, not the 3360x1050 I needed. I had to use SwitchResX to customize the v-sync to 59.9hz, otherwise it wouldn't work.

I ordered some ambient lighting for my desk - so I'll post pics when I get that set up.
