Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present!

[iShater]

Updated setup

I finally got around to getting a 'real' desk and a better display.

Here is my old setup:

Here is the new one as of 7/29:

Next purchase: Decent office chair.
Next upgrade: A new external HD
Next wish: A Dual Processor PowerMac added to the mix.

Next purchase: Decent office chair.

Or just a chair period...

Nice clean set up you've got there though, even if you do have to work standing up.

I do believe that is the nicest setup on MR, bar none...

I second that.

 

[DeSnousa]

I second that.

I third that, right done to the matching speakers. Great setup.

Also what is that thing under the ACD.

Cube prices have dropped a lot since the Mac Mini was released. I just looked at ebay and there's one ending in a few minutes at $300. Yet one year ago they were around $800

True, true! I can see one in my future! However, I think I want to squeeze an ibook out of the budget first. Then it'll be cube-goodness!

Lately I've been having fun with the speech commands and writing apple-scripts to be driven by them. I'm easily amused and entertained.

Thought I'd post a picture of my newest addition, my sweet new iPod.

Its the volume control for the speakers. Thanks for all the compliments.

that is the control pod for his altec lansing speakers (volume) i love altec, i just wish they would get their act together on 5.1

 

[iGary]

I like your setup, Diatribe. The two pods look cool right next to eachother.

My pop wanted to see some pictures, so I took some more and figured I'd be an attention whore and post them:

Kind of fun to have my 73-year-old dad interested. My next switcher victim.

 

[ryannel2003]

iGary has the best looking setup on MacRumors! Beautiful PowerMac!

Thanks, iGary. As I said before, you have one gorgeous setup there.
My personal favorites are the 2 cinema displays and the Bigger Disk.
I'd take those in an instant. All in all, this is what my setup would look like if I had the money. Maybe I'd switch the iBook for a PB though

 

[PaRaGoNViCtiM]

iGary should win an award! That setup is freakin' SWEET!

hehehe, I knew someone would say that, I was debating if should include the old crappy chair from the old setup in the pic or not

I need to spend sometime looking for something comfortable, I'll be spending a lot of time in front of this system for the next 9 10 weeks doing my master's thesis. Joy!

Nice setup there, iShater! Good luck with the master's thesis, as well. What is your field/subject? I just finished my master's work in electrical engineering about 2 months ago.

 

[ham_man]

Someone needs to start a poll for who has the better setup between iGary and allexsimmons...

 

[iGary]

Oh, notice the Dell isn't there...it's freaking broken already. They said to send the whole setup back.

Nice job, Michael, that's the second of two machines I bought from you that were basically DOA.

And thanks for the nice replies - again I got very fortunate and found a really good client who was wiling to front a really large retainer. That's really rare in what I do, and I am grateful. After working for crap asshats for 5 years I finally am working for myself and have a great 2 year deal. I feel like I've earned it, but again, grateful. I never thought I'd be working on a system like this.

Now remember, I have to sit in fron of this thing and post process about 800-1000 digital images a day. I honestly couldn't think of a better machine to do it.

Jesus H. Christ, iGary. You have a Dock that spans two 30 freakin' inches of screen real estate.

RESPECT!

I'm not sure what we could give iGary that he doesn't already have.

He's only got 2 * 20 inchers, but still...........

 

[swy32x]

1. allexsimmons has Creative iTrigue's, not Altec Lansings

2. And iGary has dual 20's, not dual 30's

Besides that, SWEET SETUPS GUYS!

I mean, whoa.

And I doubt iGary would need a PowerBook, I take it the iBook is for mobile web browsing, I doubt power is needed.

 

[GilGrissom]

I know everyone has posted their PowerBook pictures and specs up so this is nothing special, but you ought to have seen my previous one!! Wintel laptop, 2 inches thick! Advent was the make (UK only).

Superb specs guys. Love seeing the pictures. iGary, its been said before but I'll join in, fantastic job! I only hope I can afford all that in the future!

I include the picture of my PowerBook setup, aswell as a night shot of my PowerBook and mouse. Sorry about the quality, unfortunately I was restricted to a camera phone in bad lighting! Hope you like.

Spec in signature

i know, im sorry. I knew they were creatives, i have a 5.1 set on me desk, i was just hoping they were altecs also, i think 30inches means it goes full on one display and half of the width of the other. Just a guess
