I hate to criticize others' setups, but what's the point of having 5.1 when all of your satellites are in front?
Got a tip for us?

i agree. he spent way too much money on that speaker set to have all 5 of em infront of him.
... why spend over $100 on speakers if you're not even going to attempt to set them up correctly?
Fair enough ... I didn't read the entire thread before posting my reply.
Back to the setups ... Here's my temporary rig while I reformat a pair of iMac G4s (1.25 GHz 17-inch):

Tell me about it! Thats one of the reasons that I want a wider desk, that and I want to have my M-Audio keyboard out and a 2nd 22" monitor!
hehe you can't post a picture of your setup and not expect people to comment/criticize your choices.
What speakers are they anyway?

If I wasn't saving for other things right now, I would love to buy a G4. So awesome!
My netbook cost that much!!
Kind of puts my hand-me-down speakers I got from my brother to shame. Cyber Acoustics CA-5000 (which I find strange that I can't find them with google. Only CA-5001, which isn't the same thing)
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
Really like the wallpaper - mind posting a link? Thanks.

I have the same set of Logitech for 2 years now, it's wonderful. It's being hooked up to the Mac mini via optical and TV via coax.
You seem to be good with clean setups and what not (along with many others here)... I'm just wondering how I can go about hiding cables on my MBP. Attached is just a quick photo of what kind of stuff I have plugged in usually: Power cord, Audio cable, DVI to my external monitor, and then the USB connection for the extra USB ports on the back of the laptop stand.
I'm moving into my new dorm room on Wednesday and am excited to get everything set up and I want it to be very clean. So I'd love some suggestions!2

That doesn't include shipping, mind you. Also, I got them a couple of months ago, but kudos for your find
It sure is. I think it was named "Knös" or something like that. I haven't noticed any interference with wireless signals though. Just my mouse (the MS one) being a little buggy (dropping bluetooth connection randomly), but reading through reviews, that's apperently a common issue with that mouse. Apple's keyboard never disconnects. The BT connection is rock solid and I've been running it (without ever shutting it off) on the same batteries since april without having to change them, while changing the mouse's batteries twice.
Past set up. Found this going through older iPhoto files.
There's a 9500 PM (400MHz G3 Power Logix), Graphite iMac, G4 PM (1GHz Sonnet), Wallstreet G3, Apple and IBM CRTs, and a Canon and Epson printer.
The only things remaining computerwise are the Macally keyboard and mouse. Everything else is gone.

I love before and after pics, especially with this level of improvement.
I should have one up in a few weeks reducing my AEBS & Airport Express (functioning in a dual band system) and external HDD for wireless back ups to a dual band Time Capsule (hacked for 2TB).
Don't you miss having decent speakers? The iMac speakers are terrible. Also, can I have your before display?

I did end up putting the speakers back, the iMac ones are pretty bad. And the 'before' display has been sold, and damn if the iMac doesn't look nicer, too.
