Here's some pics of my current media center....I looked around for a decent entertainment center for weeks and after getting frustrated decided it may be best to build my own....the only thing I regret is the quality of wood I bought (you can see a slight bend in the middle) but that's something that can be easily changed!!!
I'm looking for a way to stream content to the powerbook from my office any suggestions???

Yeah, my old 3.2MP cruddy camera doesn't really do it justice, but here are some pics of the Sammy in action:

Edit: Sorry, I didn't think about the fact that the pictures are of it being used as a TV and not a computer monitor, sorry... At least you can see how good of a television it would be too, not just a great monitor :)

Thanks, I appreciate it!!
You can see the wireless mouse in the picture....unfortunately its the first wireless mouse(so no scroll, right click)...I will soon upgrade when I find a decent bluetooth mouse that is non-apple as I can't stand the mighty mouse(tho I may end up having to get it anyway!!!)

oohh yea u can see the mouse, sorry im a bit oblivious to some things. im in love with the mighty mouse, but if you want a good quality non-apple mouse id suggest nething made logitech. i have a little crap $30 logitech corded mouse, it rocks! i hear the wireless ones are getting pretty good aswell.

nice setup man, enjoy it!!!!

I'm seeing that quite a few people have 26"-50" TV's hooked up to their mb/mbp's. Does anyone have suggestions of good TV's to be hooked up to my MBP?

I have a 26'' Sony BRAVIA and it's awesome. Great picture via OTA ATSC. Haven't hooked up my iBook because it doesn't do the right resolution, but I have hooked up a dell laptop that does and looks great. IMO Sony and Samsung are the two companies to choose from for an LCD HDTV.

Nice setup....with all that tasty gear I think you could lay it out in a friendlier way in my opinion
Click to expand...

I'm sure you could.

But I can't. Had this basic set up/desk for 7 years now and it works extremely well. Doesn't really look nice, like these pristine, cold, featureless set ups, but everything here sits right where it is needed. My only problem is the giant Wacom pad, but I never liked it off to the side either, so the wireless keyboard just shoves aside and viola.

Can I get the source for the left wallpaper? Oh, & you might want to alter your sig - I'm pretty sure you don't really have only 9MB of RAM!
Click to expand...

DOH! I make 9 MB work, tho. It's incredible!

The wallpaper was just sent to me as a file from someone in a chat. I have no idea where they got it, and I didn't ask.
 
Thanks for the replies on the suggestions for an LCD TV. Although I would want to choose an HDTV for my eternal monitor, I am scared. My MBP is running at a res of 1920 x 1200, and rhetorically the HDTV will not run at that resolution. Will it look weird having my eternal monitor running at a lower res than my MBP screen? Or will it kind of balance out because it will be a larger screen than my 17" MBP screen?

Thanksssss.

It would balance out if the HDTV were smaller than the MPB screen, but that's unlikely.

Okay, that is one of the best looking MacBooks I've seen... I love the black kb on the white computer, thats sweet.

Yeah, I like that too - is it just a rubber overlay?

It's an Ergotron Neo-Flex. I got it on close-out from Office Depot, but you can find them on-line for about $60.
