louish said:I do web development, so I get large chunks on money at a time, but all this was pieced together over time. I had the 20" Dell monitor when it first came out, at the time was $560. Then I bought another 20" Dell monitor when I saw it for $400, I thought I was the coolest. Then I broke down and bought the Dell 30" LCD for $1560 on ebay, shipped. Then I bought the MacBookPro with 2 GB ram (my first mac), but then the MacPro came out, cheaper and twice as fast and it supported more monitors, so I sold the MacPro like a month after I got it for $1000+a 30" Apple Display. thats why I have 1 Dell 30" and 1 Apple 30". Id prefer the Dell, I like them much better than the Apple display. The apple display tilts forward and back, thats it. And the cord is really lame (if your using it to plug into a laptop), all the cables are wrapped into 1 cord, then they give you like 5 inches to plug in everything at the end. Which mean if your plugging it into a Laptop, the power brick needs to rest on your desk instead of the floor... AND it has a BRICK... the Dell doesnt. The dell tilts the same way the Apple does but in addition to that, it raises and lowers vertically, and swivels left to right. And it has a Card read built into the side of the monitor. And I can mount a sound bar under the dell monitor. And its cheaper. And the image burn is less on the dell than on the apple.
Im planning on Selling the Apple display on ebay and getting another dell, all i want to sell it for is $1600 so i can get the dell one.
The mac pro was 2499 with student discount and the 2 video cards. Ram was 200 for 1GB, and 500 gb hd's are 200.
Well, I grew up on Windows, and I think im sticking with it. To be honest, OS X is quite slow. The programs I use for web development on a daily basis is HomeSite, Paint Shop Pro, and SecureFX. I can replace SecureFX with Transmit on the Mac, but PSP and HomeSite just are irreplaceable to me. I tried switching to Photoshop and Dreamweaver, but it is SOOOOO slow on the Mac, probably because it uses Rosetta to run. I know dreamweaver and photoshop just as well as homesite and psp, but the speed is what counts.
The whole reason I even bought a mac is cause I have an HD video camera, and editing in Final Cut Pro in HDV is amazing, blows the PC away!!!!!
I also have a nice Dell Laptop i used to use on a regular basis, but Im not one to have multiple computers, i need all my data to be in the same place at the same time, and Im not a fan of external hard drives, too slow for me. Im all about response time.

LOVE your setup! It's not modest and not over embellished. I love the wall-mounted speakers. My panel is wall mounted, but you hid your cables it looks like. Nonetheless, your setup is very cool.stylistik said:heres my current setup not as nice at others i have seen... in the pic u can also see my HP Tablet PC and my G4 power book...

How is that logitech keyboard? I've been contemplating it. I have the mx-1000 laser and the BT apple, but I love logitech keyboards.

Pretty easy to use once you get used to it. LOL Here's a shot of the layout from Kinesis:
http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/images/layout_contour-mac-usb.gif
It's not ergonomic in just shape (like the M$ and Adesso ones) but in key placement too. On other keyboards, keys like return and backspace are on the right side so you really have to stretch with your pinky (your weakest finger) to get to them.
With the kinesis, the backspace key is right near the left thumb and the return key is near your right thumb. So you don't have to stretch to reach them and your hands never leave the home keys, so it helps with typing speed too.
It does take some practice, when I first got it, I kept hitting the ' key because I had been trained in my keyboarding class that that was where the return key was. Took me about 3 days to get fully acclimated with the layout. Once you do, your typing speed actually goes up.
