Love the arm, love the black and white, love the "I didn't lay out all of my iPods, cell phone in a neat row" fake setup look.
Nice.

thanks. ive no time to be pretentious just to post up aa pic of my desk area.
and look, ive got cables all over the place!!!
the arm is dope. no other way to describe it. up down left right. facing the other direction so i can watch the office while i sleep. it rules. plus it goes low enough so that the top of the monitor is level with my eyes and that's a huge benefit for me. it locks my heavy as a turd 30" in place no matter what position it's in. setup is a 2 man job though. trying to swing that arm around with one arm and wrestle the monitor at once is a bit trying. good thing ive been eatting my spinach
the hifi is good, but too pricey. i got optical cable coming from the mp to the hifi and it does the job. classical and electronic sounds great. songs with low exaggerated bass distort or clip. vocals get muddy sometimes too when i listen to blues.
if i ever had to pinch pennies, i'd sleep with my head on the side near the exhaust of the casing, and cancel heating company.
vohdoun, it's not the copperhead. it's the little brother diamondback. works like a charm. im a closet fps gamer and this here is my best friend.
take it easy fellas
hanns G = crap, i returned my widescreen one to tigerdirect with them telling me it was definitely damaged (ghosting and such) and then they tested it and said it wasn't, i am now waiting for my partial paypal refund. CRap.... maybe you got lucky, but mine was crap and it had 5ms response.flickwg said:

It's been a long time coming, but finally....the year-old G5 iMac has a space of its own (no more perching on the dining table, no more sharing a crowded workstation) and the 30" ACD reigns supreme over its own space, a separate workstation, with the brand-new Mac Pro snuggled up on the floor nearby....
Thought I'd better take photos quick before I manage to clutter up both workstations! Neither will ever look THIS clean again!

Somehow over the past year as I kept shooting more and more photographs, especially after I started shooting RAW, the hard drive space kept disappearing....so I needed a backup for the iMac itself and another drive for just images and another for iTunes and images.... when I knew I would be getting a Mac Pro I got a 500 GB drive in preparation; the machine has two internal drives and then I'll use the external LaCie for backup.
Yeah, I also realized that I'd better plunk out some money for APC UPS power supply/backups.....got one on the iMac and printer and LaCies, then have a more powerful one connected to the MP, 30" ACD and LaCies..... one is plugged into one outlet and the other is in another outlet down the wall.
Heh, with the amount of heat generated by these babies I won't need to have my furnace on too much this winter! LOL!!!
I am really excited and pleased with my setup: it's been a very long time in coming! Needless to say, didn't get everything at once: it's been a matter of adding one thing at a time over weeks and months....

im in love with you desk! where did you get one? can you send me a link?!
Got both at Staples, and they're made by Z-Line. I saw them in the local store first, and then ordered each of them online at different times. The larger one is the Z-Line Matrix Compact Desk, Item #473068, Model #31745 ($199.99) and the smaller one is the Z-Line Expo Glass Desk, Model #SP4052-1D (I have misplaced the sales slip but I believe it is around $75.00). I was tempted to order a second Z-Line Matrix (larger desk) instead of the smaller one, but reason prevailed and I knew I was limited on space. The iMac is very happy on the smaller desk! Each desk is constructed to allow an extra shelf/monitor stand rising above the main part, but in both cases I did not want that; IMHO the desks are more functional without it. The larger of the two has a glass keyboard shelf, while the smaller one has a metal keyboard shelf.
The larger desk is 48" wide and the smaller one is 33.5" wide. I really love them -- they provide plenty of work space and they're elegant and functional.
I got the larger one back in mid-June and then after I ordered my Mac Pro and knew I'd need additional work space, I went ahead with getting the smaller one. I think they're both going to work out just fine!
Another, closer view:

Now that we've talked about the desks, can you go over the beautiful lamp you have there?Clix Pix said:It's been a long time coming, but finally....the year-old G5 iMac has a space of its own (no more perching on the dining table, no more sharing a crowded workstation) and the 30" ACD reigns supreme over its own space, a separate workstation, with the brand-new Mac Pro snuggled up on the floor nearby....

I like you're setup.
And, not to be a prick or anything, it's "your" not you're. As in, "I like you are setup."

I'm assuming you mean the lamp on the large workstation? Got that at Home Depot. I was tickled as the shape complements the legs of the two workstations. It is a halogen lamp and puts out an amazing amount of light for such a little lamp. It was around $30.00 and I had to buy the special halogen bulb separately. I've already tossed out the box so don't remember the brand name now. The other lamp, the brass one at the far end, is a table lamp that I've had for many years. Hope that helps!

Such a lovely elegant setup, especially the wooden floor. I'm just loving all these glass desks people are posting.

To be honest I find it really surprising that a lot of people, good friends of mine among them, make this mistake constantly, even in writing. They're very intelligent, for sure, but they often mix up they're, there, their as well as here and hear.
It was never ever a problem for me, but seems to be a problem for a lot of people!
anyways, back to the setups...
This is an online forum not an English term paper. Who Cares?
Anyway. Clix Pix im loving that setup. How is the Mac Pro compared to your old iMac? I have one just like it, but with the ever-growing photography that im doing I really need a more powerfull setup with more internal storage.
