My dorm setup... also posted in the "18 AU" thread:

Nice setup! i take it you record you own music?
How does your iMac handle the tracks and plugins in Protools?

I don't really write my own music - however, I do cut my own drum tracks for whatever band I'm currently in at the moment. Most of my work at home is freelance recording and mixing. I'll do some vocal or guitar tracks here or there and then mix projects at home. Of course now, when I want to cut drums for something, I'll usually have the client book one of the larger studios around Boston.

The iMac handles everything really nicely. I've maxed out the Pro Tools LE 32-track count along with 8-10 aux tracks using up to 4 Altiverb 6.0 reverb plugins, a bunch of McDSP plugins and the standard assortment of included Digidesign plugs.

Then I'll usually run my stereo drum mix, kick and snare, bass, and vocal through my Rupert Neve compressors and re-record those audio files back into PT as I like to use one of my Neve's for my 2-mix compressor.

Anyway, this is starting to get a bit more complicated for a Pictures post :D
 
Thanks for the positive reactions folks!

blakespot that is AMAZING!!!!!
is there only one g5/macpro in that pic??
Only modern Mac in that picture is the quad 3GHz Mac Pro, indeed. Interestingly, just as I forgot to include my G3 iBook in the panorama I made back in early 2005, I forgot to include my 2GHz MacBook Pro in this most recent panorama. It's way too much of a pain in the butt to take the whole series of ~30 shots again, so hopefully when I reshoot in another two and a half years, I'll include whatever laptop I'm using at the time!!

These are all the machines I've got setup at home. I've a a shelf of various unused units (8-bit Ataris, spare IIgs's, Amiga 1000, etc.) that aren't in the pics.

My wife is fairly scared of this room.

I'd be very scared of my electric bill! (though this probably isn't going to be anywhere near as bad for you in the US as it would for me in the UK).

Very nice though :)
Well, the Mac Pro is up 24/7, of course, but it's a rare thing when more than two machines in that room are on at the same time. I had to liven things up a bit for the photo series. :)
