Hey Tar_heel, welcome to the forums.

Just a note that we do have a thread specifically for showing off nifty desktops. You might try posting your screenshot in here: The Offical OS X Customizations Screenshot Thread.

Cheers

Yeah, it's easily the best addition I've gotten so far for my MB. I originally got it because I noticed I started slouching to see the screen. Makes a big difference!

This is my setup.

I got a new keyboard today. It's an older hacker style mechanical switch clicky model and I love it. It's a Cherry ML4100 industrial keyboard. Got it off Ebay on the cheep.

Looks nice by the window.

I have a growing addiction to old school keyboards. They are so much better than the crap they make today, and they don't have Windows keys or multimedia bells and whistles. I think they type better to.

Anyway, here is growing collection. Mind you, this started for me in the spring.

Check out my annotated pic on Flickr if you want to see what they are.

Just registered and saw this thread, showing off my Macbook now

JoshuaZ · Aug 23, 2007, 05:56 AM

Mmmmm.... new Macbook Pro. I bought all these goodies for it almost two months before I ordered the computer. So much fun.

What do I have on my desk... I have a 17in VGA LCD I got for free when a coworker moved back to England. I have a Macbook Pro, 2.4 ghz. A Targus x-stand holding it up. An iSkin keyboard cover. A Gelskins sticker on the bag. Two 250 gig firewire HDs up above. A cheap speaker system I picked up. My Nokia N73. My logitech Bluetooth mouse. Quite a few storage containers full of random wires, hookups, cables, USB thingies, and rechargers. Plus a lots of little giant robots and domokuns.

Macbook, External Hard Drive, Speakers, Apple Keyboard, Logitech Mouse, Samsung Monitor ( waiting for my 24 inch Monitor to come soon ) and iPhone

Chazzer3 · Aug 27, 2007, 11:34 AM

I just got my MacBook Pro, and boy am I happy, I absolutely love it. My setup is kinda temporary before I return to school, so this is a quickly done home setup.

My MacBook Pro is 2.4GHz Santa Rosa 15" with stock setup. I am using a Dell E196FP 19" Monitor with it, which is nice :-)

Oh, and the lovely leopard background.

I need a Beatles collection more like that! If they're doing that remaster like it's been suggested, I might want to wait for that, however...

iREZ · Aug 27, 2007, 11:07 PM

i envy the macbook design. i own a mbp and wish i had the magnetic latch and optical drive on one side with all plugs going on the other. i had my powerbook setup like the poster above and it was the best, now i got wires running out of every which way...totally not cool

Yeah, up until today that's how I had it too. The stand really is a life-saver. I don't know why they don't just put the optical drive on the side for the Pro's...

ROFL. Yeah ... my PowerBook *NEVER* gets warm. (smile)

Bumping the thread up - I don't have an MBP (yet), but there's bound to be a few new adopters who want to show off.

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

Hey what keyboard is that?

iREZ · Oct 4, 2007, 06:12 PM

i might be wrong, but i think its the following:

The Apple Store (U.S.) - ZCover Photoshop Shortcut Keyboard Cover

placed on the old all white apple keyboard

Well I'm hardly a new adopter (that's actually a first gen. CD ordered before two months after the MBPs announcement), but as I finally have a decent camera (although the light here doesn't do it justice) I'd thought I'd post a few pics.

If that was directed at me it's here, though I added the white text in the left myself (it's the Marx quote I've now made my sig, for the record).

I have that exact same map in the same location: right above my setup.

I have map pins on all the places I've been.

brassplayersrock² · 01:02 PM

since i can't pin stuff in the dorm i have resorted to putting red pen dots on the splaces that i have visited. i have placed so many different posters in that spot, and it never felt like a work area to me. once i put the map up, it felt just right and cozy

plus the color differences are nice

Hey, so what kind of monitor is that that works with the Mac? Does it automatically switch resolutions when you turn it?

brassplayersrock² · Oct 6, 2007, 03:06 PM

you can rotate any external display via the prefences
