how cheap was the monitor? would you recommend it? I'm looking for a widescreen monitor for my blackbook and was looking at the dell 20'
It's a 19" Hanns G from Tiger direct, it's a nice monitor, it's a bit lower res then the Dell it's 1440x900 same as the MBP screen and cost about 219.00 and I have to say the JBL Creatures are pretty decent for speakers, I have a rack system in that cabinet next to the iMac anyhow

It has two settings. The low setting is very quiet. The high setting is a bit louder, but its a nice white noise that doesn't bother me at all.

Really, you had to show THAT game? Not that funny at all. (Yes, I'm from Sweden)

Nah, I really like that room. Looks like great place to relax and have some fun in.

Apple keyboard & mighty mouse
5G 60GB iPod
The other iPod dock is for my 3G 20GB iPod (currently in the car).
The MBP is sitting on an Antec laptop cooler w/ USB-powered fans. Keeps the MBP nice and cool when docked.

File server in the basement (not pictured) is a 1.4GHz Gigabit PowerMac G4, 4x160GB HD in RAID 0+1 (hardware striped 320GB RAID w/ software mirror)
attached to an Adaptec FireWire 800 PCI card, networked via gigabit ethernet.

I would be afraid to run any MacBook in closed-lid mode with an attached monitor as those MBP supposedly get so hot, I would worry about it melting!

Here's my one week old MacBook 2GHz. Pic quality is pretty shitty because it was taken with my phone.



2GB of Ram, 60GB Hard Drive, although my 120 GB should be arriving in the mail today.

Where did you get that samsung monitor? I tried to look at a few online retailers, but I can only find them for a price well over 1.1k... That is such a nice monitor!
Anywhere I can buy them for $800 or around that price?

I'm in the UK. I paid £830, which is about 1.5k USD. All the prices in the uk are in the 800-850£ price bracket.

Very nice monitor! Only had it one day
