Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

I was gonna ask about that light. Well, when the time comes, I may cannibalize an MB and try it out. Although, to minimize being accused of biting your style, I'll use a black MB 🙂

How do you like the 20" so far? It looks great on the desk, and in my opinion the 24" might just be a little to much. Do you have any regrets over not getting the 24"? And finally, what is it that you like best about your new computer?

To dispell boredom this afternoon I set about building a stand for my MacBook out of some scrap 1"x1/4" lengths. I might sand it all down, neaten it up a bit, then prime it, spray it, & gloss it, or I might be lazy & just leave the bare wood & joints. At any rate I'm going to stick some rubber on the bottom & along the lip at the front.

Poor MacBook

Oh, and even though the new iMacs look very nice, I think I sitll prefer the white ones. 🙁 The new ones look too.... Dell-ish. Another complaint: the new iMacs don't match the white MacBooks anymore!

That is hilarious AND functional. Good work. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

On a similar note, have you considered trying metal work and maybe bending some aluminum to create an even better looking stand? I may try my hand at building one for shiggles. It won't replace my Elevator, though.

Someone I know bought a PB from craigslist but the LCD was broken. Another person on craigslist was selling an LCD with lid for $80. Can't go wrong there! I ganked the lid and made a light because I felt like it was high time to be a dork!
I don't really turn it on much, it does however make for great "mood" lighting if you get my drift. And if you don't then I'm sorry. 😉

I stand corrected ... I was asked to adjust this statement.
PowerBook off CL $275. Lid + new LCD $80. Apparently accuracy counted here!!

No way this was done before. Someone with an iBook lid. That's how I thought of it so bite away...no I mean really bite away!!

I rearranged my set up again, and I got a shiny new 19 year old IBM Model M keyboard.

Love the keyboard. Personally, I love the Model M mini's (space saver). The numpad is useless to me and I hate having to reach over it to get to my mouse (or, in my case, the classic Logitech Trackman Marble)

Whoa! Nice. It's good to see someone else deciding to create their own laptop stands instead of buying one.

Here's the one I made a year ago last summer.

I'm not overly bothered about how it looks, in fact I don't know if I can even be bothered to sand/paint it. It would lose all of it's ghetto appeal then!

Looks like you actually spent some time on yours! I didn't even use a ruler...

Love to see Em fans!
