I like to keep my single bedroom in-law simple. This is pretty much my home entertainment/office setup in one(and kitchen but my fridge/microwave aren't in the picture). I usually sit on my couch with the macbook on my lap, or lie on my couch with it on my foot rest. I don't do any professional work so I don't really have a need for an external monitor. Plus I can fit what apps I use and enjoy tv/movies on 13" just fine.

If I want to draw or tinker with gadgets, I'll use my footrest as a seat and set the laptop on my table and work over there. I like to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible and have grown to not need my mouse so much, so my wired mighty mouse hardly gets any use.

So my mac setup consists of a 4,1 MacBook w/a rarely used wired might mouse, an AirPort Extreme @ 5GHZ N setup w/a 1.5TB MiniStack(7200rpm Barracuda) and a Canon MP600. I also have a Airport Express @ 2.4GHZ N+G(for my iPhone and for my friends with G laptops) that also streams from VLC/iTunes to my iPod HiFi(w/a monoprice optical cable), which uses a Scosche Passport dock to charge my 3G(that also took the photo). And they're all sitting on an Ikea Lack. I'm sure this paragraph is full of run ons and would have been better suited for a chart or diagram lol.

There's lots of cool setups in here though. Being a comic geek myself, I love Darius room.

^ I don't think the keys align properly. I tried to search for an image, but I've seen it done but the keys were sideways.

the keys for all the mackbook models are identical - even with the keys from a wired or wireless keyboard (new style) will work!)

Thanks; you all helped me a lot.
And a "second skin" for the wireless keyboard does not exist? ( i do know "kbcovers" but they only sell the black cover for the wireless keyboard in us version :( )

Where can i buy the suitable black keys and any instructions how i can replace the white one?

By the way i saw this picture in this forum but i cant find it now.

Hey thanks guys!

My setup is as follows:
Mac Pro Dual Quad 2.26
12gb of ram
ATI 4870
Nvidia GT120
Dual Apple LED's
My good ole Logitech MX518
Logitech Dinovo Edge Keyboard (Mac Edition) --- Truly awesome BTW
Logitech Z2300 (just got them so not pictured)
And the table is from Office Depot (or MAX, lol) but I would recommend the sharper image one, it's more sturdy and slightly bigger.

Also there are 10-12TB's of space... not sure, haven't added them up...

Great setup brock, can you tell me what desk that is, and if you don't mind, the size (depth) of the desk (back to front)

Thanks
Raymond

Hey that's really nice. Where are the keys from, because my keyboard doesn't have a return key like that.

I could have sworn I've seen an image of someone who did it on flickr, and the keys ended up sideways because the notches were different from the ones on the slimmer keyboard. Must have been imagining things.

Are you able to tell me where you bought the chair from? Looks pretty nice and comfy.

I WANT THAT. NOW.

That's one ugly keyboard. I guess everyone has different taste. :)
