ok, a little update from the last page...

I hated that green tablecloth (which was like one of those plastic outdoor ones, very sweaty) so I replaced it with a light grey cloth i found...I like this so much better... I can't wait until the new ipods come out also, so I can get rid of that nano and replace it with a full sized one in a dock...

Can I ask what diameter the ball is? Mine is too small to seat me at table height without straining...

lol, my house is pretty old (like around 80-100 years) and that wood siding was the original outside front of the house, then at some point after that they added a front room and just kept the siding up for some reason, like they just tacked a room right to the front of the house. I used to live next door, so my whole life it's had this front room, i dont know exactly when they added it.

It's funny cause this house is full of all kinds of unprofessional craftsmanship, just as you would expect from a house that was built almost a hundred years ago by whoever owned the property. a post in the basement was just a piece of beachwood that a previous owner told us was dragged by horse to put in here. When we put on an addition to the back of the house and we tore down the old walls, it seemed like it was put together with wood scraps. Apparantly it was also owned by the Genovese mafia here in NY.
 
for those of you with imacs - Do you guys run all of your wires through the hole in the stand?

Only the power cable, but in my current room it's not a problem as my iMac is in an alcove so you can't see it behind it.

I'm moving to Rickmansworth on the outskirts of London next week to my new studio flat and have no idea where to place my iMac, so will probably end up putting all wires through the hole then, as they'll probably be on show more!
 
Figured I would finally add mine to this.

Current setup is Macbook Pro (15", 2Gb Ram), Mac Mini, 2x 22" Samsung Syncmasters. One PC (on the floor), connected to a cheap 19" AMW mounted on an arm.

All 3 machines, and 4 screens use the same keyboard and mouse via Synergy. Current plan is to sell the MBP in the very near future and replace it with a Mac Pro, adding another 2 Syncmasters to give me more screen space and cleaner appearance.

Welcome to the area, I go to Ricky reasonably often to play golf. It is a really nice.

Hm, mine's 65cm as well, but then I'm only about 5'4" & I think my table is a good bit taller... Ah well I move out next month :)

It's brilliant! I couldn't manage without it. I have the server installed in the PC (purely because the PC box doesn't do anything else and never moves), the macs have the client set to autoconnect when they are switched on.

I was skeptical about it before I gave it a go, and the only reason I did was because I didn't like any of the mac keyboards (I have a thing for everything matching!), using synergy the keys are properly mapped out which is a huge bonus.
 
New Keyboard

So I went and got the new keyboard today. Was a tad hard to get used to but now I'm loving it1

how does the mbp go with cpu intensive tasks and heat??? on that stand it wouldnt run too hot would it??

very nice setup!!!

Not bad. I'd like it to run cooler, but having it up on the elevator helps a bit. If it wasn't on a stand, I'm sure it would start burning holes through the desk :)

I'll put it in my bag, just as I did with my g4, and it will get so hot it shuts off and drains the battery :(. You almost have to let it sit for 30 minutes before you put it in a case or it will heat up seems.
