This might be a stupid question, but what is the half silver half black thing next to the Wii like receiver?
Basically thats the receiver for my sky remote which is basically satellite tv. I'm able to play the wii on the cinema display and watch tv aswell.
Weird that your MBP has more RAM than your Mac Pro!
Also your displays remind me of the one's in Dexter's (TV Series) Lab
Yeah, when I bought the Mac Pro I was moving up from my Powerbook G4 with 512MB of Ram, so 1Gig was more than enough for me. But then I realized I ended up using the Powerbook G4 more because of its portability. And since it was my last year of college, I wanted to take advantage of the Apple education discount one last time, so I bought a Macbook Pro too. Overall, the Mac Pro is still much faster than the MBP even with less RAM. I'll eventually upgrade it to at least 4GB, when I get around to it.lol
I'm loving how you've got the exact same wallpapers as me and on the same sides too. I am just about to order a deskpad, are they nice? I also have the EeePC. How much was the Drobo?

I LOVE my deskpad... if it just wasn't so "deep" so i could my lcd's closer (probably a good thing to have them this far away)
The drobo was.. $430 for the drobo itself.. and $120 for each 1.5tb drive.. so..
around $1,000 with tax..
I never use the EeePC.. the build quality is horrible.. so I use it to view logs.. to view my network cams... etc..
Awesome man. It's amazing what a little ambient lighting can do to a setup. Im thinking about buying another set for the kitchen.
... your clocks a minute behind.
Network cams?
I work with them, so I have a few laying around at any given time. I have two faced outside toward the city (san francisco) and one faced down at the street.

Are they good and are they expensive?
What program are you using to control them all and is it better to have the ability to control them or have them fixed?
I'm guessing they're wireless too.

They run their own webservice.. no program.. so I can get a image by just going to a specified link, or I can view the actual video in a web browser. If I wanted to install a DVR type of solution I can record.
They aren't wireless, I have a few wires run outside onto the balcony into the camera enclosures..
They're AMAZING cameras, but the models I have are expensive.. They do really well in low-light.
I have:
Axis 223m - (pictured in the screenshot) which is $1299
Axis 221 - which is.. around $999
Axis 211 - which is $450 or so
They all have different features, different build quality/sensors..
The 223m is by far the best.
An Ikea 'Lack' shelf, its the one thats about 44 inches long. hold's about 33lbs... i mac 20" is about 21lbs, and the 24" samsung is like 9... im pushing it, haha!
Still got to get some cable management going on, but I don't really know what i can do to make it so unnoticeable. Having about 20 cables isnt the easiest thing to disguise, i think i might just get a cable loom like this
i dont really want to drill into the wall to hide them because i feel like i move things around too much and the walls are that fake wood panelling, so patching holes would be a pain when i need to do it.
Sorry which thing are you asking about to buy online?
edit: nevermind im assuming your referring to the post above mine
I posted my office desk back on page 43 (click here), here is my office at home.
The desk on the right is mine and the one on the left is my wife's. TV is connected to the iMac so I can put online content on it. I've been meaning to get another satellite receiver but Hulu/Boxee has been doing pretty good so far. I know the cable track on the wall is ugly but we didn't want to put any furniture in that spot and it is quite the task running cable horizontally through the vertical studs.
The iMac is mainly used for downloading, serving up music to the apple tvs and airport expresses throughout the house, and a quick place to check something when my wife and I's laptops are in our briefcases. My laptop is setup with teleport (a mac front-end/port of synergy) so the iMac keyboard/mouse control it.

what is brand of that monitor flipped portrait (vertically)? I am looking for one.

It is a 20" Apple Cinema Display.
I would love to have that clock in my studio....but being that it is a recording studio I cannot have a clock that makes any noise whatsoever. My question to you is does it make any noise (flipping or clicking sounds)?

I don't believe they can be oriented like that out of the box... I imagine you had to do something?
