Not too bad! If I wasn't an Apple Purist (Except for the mouse) I would be seriously considering either that one or the Dell. But alas, I must have Apple so I got the Apple Cinnamon. But that one doesn't look too bad.

What did it cost before the rebate?

[SmileyDude]

Heh -- I consider myself an Apple purist at times, but even I could see the better value of a Dell 2001FP over the 20" Cinema Display. More pixels, more connection options -- at about roughly half the price.

If the price/features were closer, I'd buy the Cinema display in a heartbeat.

[iREZ]

there are more pixels on the dell 20" than the acd 20"?

[MacOS-Fan]

Thanks. It was $450 with a $50 rebate. I too would have liked to have the 20" ACD, but I personally just couldn't justify the extra cash for it.

[Jasoco]

The Dell doesn't have more pixels. It's the same LCD screen!

[iREZ]

maybe next time ill leave a lil sarcasm asterisk next to my smart aleck remarks

[Jasoco]

Yes, maybe you will.

I picked up my ViewSonic 20.1 VX2025wm today at $449 CAN...I sold my old VA912b...it was great and all but I couldn't stand the 4:3

I'll post pics when my hp DigiCam is recharged

[MacOS-Fan]

Great, I can't wait to see your pics. I have had mine now for about 2 weeks and I am VERY pleased so far!!!

I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post but if you are using a Mini with a Dell Monitor and third party keyboard, what are your options for a power button other than the power button on the back of the computer.

Also, bembol, I really like that desk. Where did you get it?

Thanks

The same as they would be if you have any other screen and any other keyboard....

Apple used to include power buttons on their keyboards, but don't anymore. Also, there is a power button on the side of the cinema displays, but that just allows you to turn off the system, not turn it on. If you are like nearly all other mac users, then you will sleep the machine and not shut it down, therefore you can just use the keyboard to wake the machine from sleep.

[Jasoco]

I don't get why they took the power button off the keyboards.

Someone told me USB couldn't do the powering thing. But that's completely false. I plugged my older first gen iMac keyboard into my computer and pressed Power and it worked fine. Besides, the Apple Cinnamon Displays do the same thing (Albeit powering down only.) through their USB. Just seems silly they removed it.

[harrisjamieh]

There was a reason, but I can't remember exactly what it was...

[jakbrud]

[EFFENDI]

Sorry about the quality....

[EFFENDI]

I just realized that I have almost the same exact setup as MacOS Fan.

[bembol]

You do...???

Anyways here's my (slightly) upgraded set up...new 20.1" ViewSonic VX2025wm...I know about the Cables...!!! It will take me a week/two to remove that Protective Film on the LCD...the HP 5940 Deskjet Printer...I picked it up last night for $50 CAN...BNIB/Sealed

[icruise]

How can you work with that stuff on your monitor?

[grinder]

And what film is that and where do I get it?

[marissa]

bembol, what is that case around your mini?

It's to protect the screen when shipping from scratches, you're supposed to take it off when it gets there.

[MacOS-Fan]

Leaving it on would annoy me, personally.

Thanks man.

If anyone is wondering it is hooked up to a Sony LCD/RP TV of 50 inches.

[MacOS-Fan]

Here is a better picture of my setup.

[KiSA]

[amru]

MacOS-fan wht moniter is that? clean set up btw

[bembol]

It's the 20.1" ViewSonic vx2025wm WideScreen LCD...I picked it up as well...!!!

[Jasoco]

That's an interesting setup, kardinal.

I see you have the older style LinkSys wireless routers. We had that one for a while until it died. When we replaced it with the updated version it was much thinner. They left off two LED's for each port and made it almost an inch thinner. I forgot how big the old one was.

Nice monitor. Looks Mac like.

[MacOS-Fan]

"It's the 20.1" ViewSonic vx2025wm WideScreen LCD...I picked it up as well...!!!"

You are correct. I am very pleased with it.

[amru]

thnx! btw i was just looking up that model and people were complaining of blacklight bleeding? does it effect it that much and .. wht is it anyway?

+1 for everyones setup! hopefully once i get my stuff done i'll be able to post a pic up.

[dale1961]

Ya I know, i don't know how anyone can. I mean I always bang my legs on that wooden shelf and why would I want to put my head between my legs to get something out from the printer?

I believe that it was either at Office Max or Staples.
