It's because you didn't link directly to the image, but to the webpage instead. If you delete everything in the link that comes after DSC07946.jpg it will work, as you can see in my quote. Nice setup though! Very clean; very bold.

Mine should be here tomorrow

Hey what made you get two Macbook pro's. Is the Core 2 Duo that significant to upgrade. I use my laptop mainly for programming so I doubt I'd even notice the new Core 2 Duo.

No worries, mate! I won't lie to you though, I like your setup the best. I don't what it is about it. There are so many fancy, expensive setups in this thread, but yours just rocks. The taste, the contrast, the simplicity.

Good job!

ahh RM, the memories of IT lessons! Reading the stickers on the side saying they were ment for windows 98 but are infact running XP badly. And the new RM Ones being very stupid, and I hate them so much!

Hey thanks a lot mate, I appreciate it. I think the speakers are a little tall, but hey, they were half price!

I'll post my set up this weekend, after I clean up my desk.

Javizun · Dec 1, 2006, 09:57 PM

There some real nice setups here.

1 question for all you lcd wall mounting brethrens.

how do you hide the wires so well? i have an idea on how its done but im just amazed how clean a mounted lcd tv can look with the wires well hidden. Any tips? i have a 32" samsung lcd tv and i would love to mount it with no wires showing.

slpdLoad · Dec 1, 2006, 10:23 PM

From what I can remember: You need to have an electrician-certified/installed outlet behind the TV for video and (maily) power. It's a firehazard to have a power cord run from an outlet, into a wall, and back out of the wall I think. Of couse this probably doesn't stop most people...

I love macbook piccies!

ALL RM pcs are rubbish!

I cheated on mine, my iPal speaker hides my cable and it works for me. If it didn't i may have just lived with it or got somebody in to hide the wires by drilling into the wall.

I mentioned about getting a Herman Miller chair again i have decided that i am going to get the Celle Herman Miller chair this time. The Celle is one of the newer designs by Herman Miller and they are also a little bit cheaper than the Aeron chairs as well. It is best to buy from a retailer so that you get your 12yr warranty if you are buying a Herman Miller chair.

Any chance you can post that wallpaper ?

When I had my iMac I was always trying to see how cool/sexy I could make my setup.
I'm done with that now that I have my MacBook, I decided to do a fun setup this time.

It's a Core 2 Duo 2 ghz with 2 GB of ram, an STM Alley bag and AppleCare.

The bundle of chords retracts into the side of my desk when I'm not using it. It
took about 4 hours of wiring.

stefanicotine · Dec 2, 2006, 03:43 PM

Oops, double post.

amru · Dec 2, 2006, 04:21 PM

nice setup! btw, wht happened to the iMac? and whn u use the externalmoniter.. isnt it a bit awkward looking at it sideways?

i love super clean setups.
