The CRT is from my powermac. I haven't decided to sell it or use it as a dual monitor setup... Alernatively, I could sell it and buy an lcd. I think I might end up doing that, along with some noncrappy looking speakers.

I was wondering if anyone has iskin for their macbooks? I just ordered a black one for the blackbook that I carry around with me. And I also bought a black iskin for the apple bluetooth keyboard that is used for the blackbook that is in my cabinet attached to the monitor. Here is a link for the products
iSkin Protouch

This thread isn't making it any easier for me to wait for October to get a Macbook!

I know I was planning on waiting till October to get the new core 2 duo but my tech friend said that its very easy to put the new system in so I should go ahead and get them now as he doesn't see any new upgrades to the macbook before then. So that is what I did...

Leopard = New 100GB 7200RPM HD for me

Can't wait to test out migration assistant and then time machine when I put my old 80GB HD into an external drive enclosure. More Macbook Pictures !

I use an iMate adapter, they still will run you about 30. A good way to get these things for cheep (all old Mac stuff) is to call your local newspaper and talk to the IT guys. At the one I work at, they have stacks of stuff they practically give away.

The keyboard works great - all the buttons work in OS X and XP Pro on my MacBook.

xsphat · Jul 1, 2007, 12:31 AM

I got a new keyboard that is older than my last one!

Do you like it?

This pic was taken before I cleaned up the paint.

robshoy · Jul 1, 2007, 12:08 PM

Xsphat, your keyboard looks mighty retro there.

Nice looking match. I love my Macbook, don't have an iPhone thought

jaydon34 · Jul 7, 2007, 02:55 AM

Just got a new 22" Westinghouse Lcd

xsphat · Jul 7, 2007, 03:23 AM

Thats a cool looking MacBook, and those monitors are supposed to be nice to.

jaydon34 · Jul 7, 2007, 03:25 AM

Thanks and so far I'm loving the new lcd. It was only $219 so I couldn't resist

It's okay but it takes some time to get use to.

xsphat · 02:32 AM

I rearranged my set up again, and I got a shiny new 19 year old IBM Model M keyboard.

And here is a link to my Flickr page for more pictures and annotations.

If you want more info on either my set up or my crazy keyboard addiction, check out my blog, Bound Up

JustinHorne · Jul 26, 2007, 02:16 AM

Wow, seeing this thread, with my pictures in it, made me realize that I really need to clean off m desk again...

xsphat · Jul 26, 2007, 03:10 PM

I wish you knew how long I spend cleaning before I take these pictures . . .

AP11689 · Jul 26, 2007, 10:24 PM

What you think guys?!

Googer-Giger · Jul 26, 2007, 11:05 PM

xsphat, how do you power that bad boy?

xsphat · Jul 27, 2007, 02:05 AM

It draws power from USB like all keyboards do, or if you want to be particular about it, through the PS/2 to USB adapter.

TailsToo · Jul 27, 2007, 03:12 PM

Great use of comic life - hehehe.

mfbernstein · Jul 29, 2007, 12:02 PM

I think I've finally seen the elusive ultralight ermm... PowerBook. Is irony delicious?

Googer-Giger · Jul 29, 2007, 09:56 PM

oh, I just heard from several sources that it draws more power the adaptor can provide or something.

dnordstrom · Jul 30, 2007, 11:35 AM

I was inspired by all these Mac setup threads I've been seeing on forums, so I created My Mac Desk - Home . Hopefully we'll have quite a collection there in a while. (Submit if you want.)

I love these Apple computer setups. Mac people are always so pedantic.

xsphat · Jul 31, 2007, 02:19 PM

That is true, but high quality ones last longer than cheap ones, which is true of anything.

adamfishercox · Aug 1, 2007, 02:30 PM

My macbook. I love it, but I'm dumping it for an iMac once the new ones come out.

jemm · Aug 1, 2007, 04:05 PM

Great thread, but why isn't it a sticky (in keeping with other hardware subforums here)???

Are you running Leopard beta or something? Looks very nice =]

adamfishercox · 08:55 PM

I wish... The screen didn't show up well so I just photoshopped that on. The computer REALLY runs OS X 10.4.10.

Andhee · Aug 1, 2007, 04:37 PM

Ah right cool. I'm planning on investing in a macbook this summer, depending on how my GCSE results go! Should be fun.

I don't know if it's your desk or what, but for whatever reason, I really LIKE that white MB. I have a balck one, and almost always think the white ones are odd looking, but that looks good.

adamfishercox · Aug 1, 2007, 08:54 PM

Thanks! It's funny, I always thought Blackbooks looked odd, since they aren't glossy.

xsphat · Aug 2, 2007, 03:32 AM

I like them both, but I have a white one because I like the white Macs, always have.

Andhee · Aug 2, 2007, 08:56 AM

Hmm, now it makes me confused about which colour I should get it in! Ever since right this minute i've thought "Yeh, lets go for a black one" but that white looks mighty sexy. Helpp!

Did you hack OS X onto that thinkpad, or is that a screenshot? (Or Linux or Windows running an Aqua theme?)

*I* didn't hack anything. *Somebody*, however, did get a hacked version of OS X onto the ThinkPad pictured above, and I daresay it worked pretty well, though the machine did get a bit warm at times. Well, until Apple gets around to making its own ultraportables, the rest of us will have to settle for XP or whatnot..

xsphat · Aug 3, 2007, 03:53 PM

Think of it this way - Mac is white, Dell is Black.

JustinHorne · Aug 3, 2007, 04:04 PM

And black Macs are pure sex.

jaydon34 · Aug 3, 2007, 10:50 PM

My thread is still going on strong but this will be my last picture because my Macbook is gone.
It was sold this thursday but replaced with a Macbook Pro

Agree, I love the TV.

I'm so in love with this little thing!

doolally · Aug 13, 2007, 06:20 PM

My new MB arrived this afternoon (2.16ghz, Superdrive, all that jazz):

Portrait.

And Gelaskin.

I'm thrilled with the machine. It's exactly what I need in a laptop: light(ish), small(ish), and fastfast!
