Maybe he uses it connected to a TV with Frontrow. Sometimes I wish I could turn off the macbook's screen when it's connected to the TV.

Could be comic life... never used it but it sounds like it would make sense.

mrplow · Apr 8, 2007, 11:43 AM

you can- close it, wake it back up with the remote. only the external LCD is acknowledged, and thus graphic performance is greatly increased.

((I've had some problems with this since 10.4.9, however.))

Sub · Apr 8, 2007, 11:46 AM

Yeah it is, comes free with all the new macs now.

AmericanPsych0 · Apr 8, 2007, 03:28 PM

Yup, Comic Life. I've never played with it before, but it was definitely fun (if a bit frustrating since I kept mis-clicking stuff. Y'know, 'cause it was 2 a.m. and all).

Does that work if it's just a normal TV, not some fancy-schmancy LCD?

Where did you get those lights in the upper left corner?

Rosieo · Apr 15, 2007, 04:45 PM

Great pictures. I want one now! Does anyone know why I am able to view some pictures and others just come up as a blue box with a question mark inside?

I found then at Menards. They also came with a smaller, 3-light, desk sized version that's on the right corner of the desk out of the picture.
They double as space heaters in the winter.

That means that they have been removed from whatever server they were hosted on, so they can no longer be displayed.

FYI, Those aren't Klipse's setups above. One is ARENA's and the other one is coincopy's.

mrplow · Apr 18, 2007, 02:46 AM

I was just thinking today how cool it would be to throw a black topcase on the whitebook... did you argue with applecare about excessive stainding? That was the strategy I came up with today...

nJm · Apr 18, 2007, 10:08 PM

Is it just me or does nearly every setup on this page have the same speakers? What are they? I remember Wharfedale using yellow coloured cones...

JMan09 · Apr 19, 2007, 01:58 AM

Yeah I noticed the same thing but don't know what they are.

ARENA · Apr 19, 2007, 03:31 PM

The speakers in my photo are a pair of B&W DM 601 s3. They sound great.

slpdLoad · Apr 19, 2007, 04:25 PM

Hehe. Mine do resemble the others, but they're actually just $50 Sony bookshelf speakers. They make really nice computer speakers though paired with my subwoofer.

hadocon · Apr 20, 2007, 03:04 PM

My macbook died so I bought a new one (same spec) and swapped the HD. It's like using the same machine (cause it is!). Only difference is the core duo vs. the newer core 2 duo. Big deal.

mrplow · Apr 20, 2007, 03:31 PM

What are you going to do with the busted one?
I'd love to transplant my whitebook into a black enclosure...

post_break · Apr 20, 2007, 10:26 PM

Yeah Id like to see how you made the backlit keyboard.

whats is that under your keyboard/mouse?

shabbasuraj · May 4, 2007, 05:31 PM

A black carpet is under my keyboard and mouse. Since the desk is glass and the optical mouse will not work, so hence the black carpet. I also employ a wrist rest.

If you are referring to the last picture in the series, I was merely showing the cable management.

Maybe we can do a trade. I'd love to swap out some of my black keys with white keys. PM me if you are interested.

AppleCare didn't take care of the Macbook that died? That seems strange that you had to by another.

RogueSqdn · May 9, 2007, 09:12 PM

Maybe he wanted C2D? ::shrug::

I'm itching for the Santa Rosa MBPs... it's taking a LOT of patience not to run out and buy a C2D 15.4" MBP right the hell now.

They have to be releasing a new case design for the Macbook Pro and when they do I'm upgrading to the current Gen Macbook Pro refurb baby. They will be so cheap.
