Very nice. I have a 20 and a 30 acd, I kinda wish I could swap the 20 for a 23 though.
Nice. i sorta want an ACD... they are just so darn expensive. ><
You're a lefty. haha. ><
I thought about buying a used 23" and running dual displays, but I didn't want my office to look like a server room and opted for a single large monitor instead.
If you bought a VESA mount for the 20 and used it in a portrait orientation, it would have roughly the right resolution to be a nice side display for the 30.
PM me with your eBay link once up.
Anyway, the 20" is used with my work PC. There's a pic somewhere in here.
Edit. I found the link.
That's very nice. I need to get off my lazy @ss and paint... I hate painting.
Will do on the Ebay link. I took photos of the monitor today and will probably post the auction tomorrow.
NOT MY SETUP!! This has to be one of the nicest looking setups I have ever seen. It could use some cable management and obviously it is a few years old but it is still amazing. NOT MY SETUP!!
I am not sure if it's against forum rules to post other setups, if it is a mod can delete this. Just thought I would share in case no one has seen it.
lol, i love when people say cable management, when you have a complex setup with lots of gadgets, it's super hard to make it all pretty, especially if you like to move things around, I gave up on it a long time ago, screw it!

Well I thought since the person who owns that setup invested a great deal of money into it they might want to spend a little extra and organize the cables. Then again if I had that setup half of those cables would be gone since I wouldn't turn on half the stuff in fear of the electricity bill

That's why God made zip ties. I use almost thirty for my setup.
New set up
This is essentially it, not really anything that amazing.
Here is a short list of it:
24" iMac 3.06GHz
MacBook Pro Alu 15"
MacBook
Black MacBook
iPhone 3Gs 32GB
Logitech MX Revo
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Samsung 26" HDTV
Bose Companion 5

And below desk:
Netgear 8 port gigabit
Netgear 4 port Wireless G router (5 years old!)
Sony PS3 160GB
3x 1TB Western Digital My Studio ('daisy' chained since iMac only has one FW800)
Logitech G25 Steering Wheel
A complete shamble of wiring and plugs

"Ahhh, my sworn enemy TIMG. We meet again!"
Ya 3 Apple Notebooks and an iMac is really nothing.
Well what I meant was that the set up itself wasn't that amazing
I just quite like Apple Laptops...Well I thought since the person who owns that setup invested a great deal of money into it they might want to spend a little extra and organize the cables. Then again if I had that setup half of those cables would be gone since I wouldn't turn on half the stuff in fear of the electricity bill
I would imagine that a person with a setup like that is more concerned with getting work done on the machines than looking under the desk.
I try tying mine up but with as much as I move stuff there's only so much that can be done. Going back and forth between school doesn't help. I don't even put the screws back in the side of my case.
I'm still using an old pos case because in all honesty the only time I really see it is when I think about getting a nice one. I'd like to do a G5 mod but my computer still works everyday so I guess it's not that pressing. haha.
