Hi guys

What you guys are using with your iMacs (G5 and Intel).

Dust covers?

Keyboard covers?
iSkin or xSkn? I've got a xSkn silicon cover, and it works pretty well, except that somehow some of the keys at the last row still gets a little dirty.

Other accessories worth a mention?

Thanks
Andre

I am using FireWire iSight, and I used to use iRain 360, but it broke.

Well, printer, speakers, and of course a white iPod Nano, which is sweeeeet. I'm amazed by the beauty of the Intel-iMac 17" on my desk. Even at 17" the screen looks larger due to its brightness and widescreen display.

My iMac accessorizes with a Starck mouse, a 3rd gen iPod, and an old raccoon hat that I put on top of it. I used to wear it when I was younger.

A firewire DVD burner that burns dual layer DVDs and is faster and 2 firewire hard drives (one for important stuff I do quick backups of, another for video). I'll probably be selling them all soon.
To be determined later.

The two accessories I use for my emac are iSkin and the wired Mighty Mouse. The iskin keyboard cover works great and so does Mighty Mouse. I still haven't got use to the feel of the tiny ball on top of the mouse.

I am thinking of getting the iSkin for my kb seeing as how everyone likes it. I just don't like the colors that much.

There may be a white one, but the ones that I always see in stores are blue or pink.
Edit: I know they have a Final Cut one too.
