That's a nice statue! Where'd you get it from if you don't mind me asking

Thanks! I've had it for years but I probably got it from bighappybuddha.com. They rotate their stock quite often but there's a similar one here.

Nothing changed much except... I just bought a bluelounge cablebox.

It includes a 2.53ghz 13" MBP, a Dell 2007WFP (same panel as the old 20" Cinema display), an Airport Extreme, HP Photosmart C6250, Polk Audio I-Sonic ES2, a 1.5TB Seagate backup drive, a Logitech DiNovo Mac Edition Keyboard, and the Logitech MX Revolution.

I like a nice free workbench. Good move. Didn't like the mighty mouse?

 

[brn2ski00]

not in love with it, but the added desk space is a nice to have.

was it tough to use the VESA mount?

 

[rgarjr]

Can it swing to be centered on the desk?

 

[hilmarfk]

I think I'd get tired from always looking up .. but it's really clever mounting it up on the wall so it free's a lot of space on the desk.

 

[pudrums]

@Iglio: What monitor is that?

 

[Iglio]

@pudrums It is the HP w2338h....i'm very happy with it. I can connect my xbox to it via hdmi and it does full 1080p!

I had the Logitech from my old PC so I figured I'd keep it. Though I probably would buy the Apple wireless keyboard and mighty mouse if their keyboard had the dedicated number pad. Can't stand not having one of those. I can understand and I am fine with not having one on my MacBook, but not having one on a desktop? I can't understand that.

not in love with it, but the added desk space is a nice to have.

was it tough to use the VESA mount?

The VESA mount adapter wasn't as hard to install as it is made out to be. The major problem I had was with tightening the center torx screw, I stripped the screw a lot with the provided torx screwdriver, but once I used my own torx screwdriver, that actually fit, it was fine. If I didn't have that problem, the install of the adapter probably would've been like 10 minutes.

Also, what are you not in love with? See any room for improvement for me to make it better?

Can it swing to be centered on the desk?

Yes, see picture below.

I think I'd get tired from always looking up .. but it's really clever mounting it up on the wall so it free's a lot of space on the desk.

It's up like that because when I sit at the desk, I usually lean the seat against the wall (to the left of the desk) and put my feet up on my bed. It's REALLY comfortable for browsing the web. If I have something important to do that would require me to sit normal, I move the iMac to this position:

Looks nice, maybe if you had a bigger desk it would be a lot better.

Just bought a MBP last week, very happy with it. My iMac doesn't get much use now.

I love Amy Lee.
