It is a shame, but sometimes hard when you do not have a place to hide them. Leonis, that's an awesome setup, try Xgriding the two together sometime.

I don't have soundstick. The subwoofer is the Chinese clone of the iSub. This is a complete set with two speaker just looks like Apple's Pro Speaker with the iSub like subwoofer. Sounds okay and it's cheap (70 CAD)



The TDK speaker is not bad. I have had it for over 4 years and still working great.

I dreamed for years of being able to post here. I finally can.

2GHz DC with Apple 20" monitor, iSight, Wacom Graphire 4 6x9 and Logitech Z-5300e. The desk is a $150 Ashley from Homemakers furniture.

Note the center speakers tucks perfectly in the well of the monitor's stand. I was very greatful for that. It spared me having to do wall mounting.



Before this setup, I was on an iBook 14" 933MHz from 2003 to 2005. I cannot believe how fast this machine is. I thought the iBook was fast. Just...wow. Before that it was a 400MHz iMac DV SE from 2000 to 2003, which felt really fast at the time. I love progress.

BUT

Have you seen the Dell 30".

I am still very very happy I bought a Apple 30"

Yeah, it was on promotion here in Australia. Roughly at the same price as a 23" Apple or thereabouts.

REALL!? Where the hell was I!? I would have went out there and broght one no worries! even though I havent brought my PowerMac yet I would still go get a quality LCD! Although I will have a look at them and see how they go compared to the Apple Cinema Displays. I haven't brought a PowerMac yet due to all the hype around the MacBook and everyone saying the MacBook will be just as good as the current PowerBooks...I just don't want to have a desk top if i can buy a lapbook for less money that is just as good.
