It also has roughly the same pattern as the above pic, but perhaps a little wider.

As you can tell, I'm considering it :-)
As I recall the fella who posted that picture (whom I *don't* recall) said this was actually a counter top he purchased and mounted to the wall. I believe that IKEA does sell these or some like it. However I'm unable to confirm that because IKEA in all their wisdom doesn't think anyone in the middle portion of the U.S is interested in affordable design. (I'm in Colorado, and while I don't think I'd kill to have an IKEA in driving distance, I'd have to think about it for minute)

Buging Apple stock in early 2004 would have been a good start!

Anyway, I think everyone is in marketing/video editing

I like the wire loom I see on the floor. Nice attention to detail, more people need to clean up their wires. I use raceway on the back of my desk to route cables and keep them off the floor. Good job, BZ, awesome setup.

I am big about wires. First of all, my feet go down there, so I don't want them sitting in a bunch of wires. Secondly it catches all sorts of dust, etc.

You can't see it, but am using Cable Safe Cable Manager behind the G5 and thinking about putting another on the other side. It takes an extra hour or so to set up your computer, but it is worth it in the end.

Hey UnixMac, how loud is that Raptor you're running in your G5? I'm interested in getting one, but I'm worried it will be too loud. Is it worth the premium also? Is it noticeably quicker?
Thanks

I got the mug as a present. Gravis, a German Apple reseller had them for some time. Don't know, if they still sell the mugs.
