For the physical rotation it is just a VESA 100 x 100 pattern on the bracket (you have to purchase from apple separately). Since the pattern is square you just mount it 90 degrees to the left or right. (Sorry for the blurry, just stuck my iPhone behind the screen and hoped for the best).
In terms of software, OS X supports monitor rotation for external monitors out of the box.

Done some sorting out, as the desk is pretty small, I've moved my drawers next to it so I have some more 'desk' space.
what make you choose the companion 5's over the 3's? trying to decide myself now
The companion 5's sound better, but the 3's are certainly still at the top of the market. To be totally honest, a big reason was because the companion 5 speakers were USB. When I originally bought them they were for my laptop (when at my desk) and having them USB means I only have to plug in 2 cables (usb hub and power) instead of three. I actually have a bose 3-2-1 system in that room but I use the companion 5 speakers for watching TV/movies because they sound better than then 3-2-1.
Theres a constant running noise because the gears are always slowly moving, and when the minute flips it makes a click sound.
heres how it sounds

Nice of you to supply us a link, thanks.
Think I may buy myself one of these.
they are nice... love the little click sound it makes. if you get one from littleclockshop.com (and it seems the ones they have are the same on other sites and ebay), careful the first time your adjusting the correct time, i spun it too fast and almost broke one of the little plastic arms that holds the number in place.
they arent made of the best plastic and metal, but does the job nicely!
what i'd really like to find is a vintage one from like a train station... even if it didnt work, it would be correct twice a day

Me, too. The clock is something I really haven't seen before in life, so It should compliment my Fliquo screensaver nicely.
You are very right my friend. What kind of speakers are those, forgiving my newbiness.
Thanks for recording the sound.... I love the look of the clock, but that sound and the whir of the gears, would get picked up by the mics during my voice over work... too bad
... so you spent $200 on a pair of speakers, but can't take 5 minutes to set them up correctly?
Don't know if anyone asked earlier, but where did you get the clock from? Thanks
heh
Just had a tidy up.... So I thought that I might as well... It's my main one... in our Computer room..
It's a 20" iMac... Ikea Desk! (Obviously LOL)... The Guitar is my Bernabe M20 (It's Spruce despite the colour!)
The whole thing... Keyboard and Guitar and all!
I was recording the guitar... and it looked nice... so hence I took a picture!
Daisy... I know that it's nothing to do with my Setup... but she looked cute... so whatever!
CDs... Is there much else that I can say... I have quite an Eclectic collection for a 14 year old...
Tea... I mean seriously... Could *you* work without it?
Reading.
Music. Lets just say... You wouldn't want to be me!
