Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 9)

[monkey86]

For me when I put time into it, it was zip ties and sticky tack (that blue stuff).

blu-tack?

 

[GoCubsGo]

blu-tack?

Sorry yes, that is exactly what I meant. Doesn't destroy paint or finishes.

 

[monkey86]

awesome happy to help! i prefer white-tack as the blue leaves a slight discoloration after prolonged use (so geek i know.) ^^

Wrong forum.

 

[fr4c]

Btw, I catched up on the thread and I really like what fr4c did with his setup, you got some insane cablerouting skills! It also looks really clean

Thanks! I really like the color scheme and furniture choice you have set up. Definitely inspiration for finishing up my apartment

Just got home with my new 13" MacBook Pro...

Link to your monitor? It looks lovely
24"?

No, only 22" - it's the Dell SX2210

 

[MacMini2009]

No, only 22" - it's the Dell SX2210

Is the webcam in that monitor compatible with macs and does it work with iMovie?

Yeah, the webcam does work, although not with iMovie as far as I can tell - I've not really tried properly though.

can you say "cable management"

(pic was taken with photo booth - couldn't find the point-and-shoot)


Side note:
I used Onyx to put some spaces in my dock, and can't get rid of them.
It says to drag them out, but there is nothing to select there! anyone know what to do?

About to go to IKEA and get my desk for my dorm.

You just put your cursor there as if an icon was there, and drag it off the dock ( click and hold) ....do it! grab the empty space!

My current setup

Pictured:

HP vs19e 19" TFT monitor (old one from my ancient PC tower setup)
Logitech Z4 2.1 Speakers
1 TB Western Digital My Studio Edition external HDD connected through Firewire 800
Mac Mini spring 2009 revision 2.0 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD
iPhone 3G in 3G Dock running "Nightstand" app.
Apple Wireless bluetooth keyboard
Microsoft 5000 Series Notebook bluetooth mouse

This is not in any way a permanent setup, but rather an interrim one. I plan on updating it during the fall

Get 'em. There're quite cheap. I got mine for less than $100, shipping included. It really feels like a you get a lot of bang for the buck at that price too, they sound great for such cheap speakers

 

[BradenG]

Moved to the basement, just set this up. Going to be getting a display and keyboard eventually.

 

[Krafty]

This is like the 4th setup I've posted

 

[Apple all life]

No, only 22" - it's the Dell SX2210

I have the same monitor but the glare really bothered me so I sold it and bought a matte screen 24inch dell monitor.

My most recent 'Mac' setup...

So far it's really good, but I think I want a wider desk and a 2nd 22" Monitor for the Desktop hackintosh.

I don't know why, but the scale of your setup messes with me a bit. I thought it was a Dell Mini 12", but then I noticed the size of your keyboard. For some reason, that monitor you have and the way it takes up the whole desk makes it look like a 27-30". *Head spins*

hah, that's true! Makes the keyboards look huge.
