Very nice setup, but most of all, I am in love with that desk! What is that?

Thanks, the desk is awesome. I got it at Staples for a little over $100. A very good deal. It's very solid, and most of all, has lots of room. They also have a matching filing cabinet thing that goes with it, but I don't have that. I got it a while ago, but they probably still sell them.

It's a macally bluetooth mouse. I like the fact that you can use rechargeable batteries since it comes with a charging dock.

Oh my gosh, I just ordered a pair of the JBL Creature II Speakers based on all the ones I saw in this thread and all I can say is they totally kick ass. I've got the subwoofer behind the monitor on my G5 iMac for right now. What a great purchase

Hopefully this will be my set up for a long time. LOL

I didn't like the way I treated my MacBook so I sold it and will be now sticking to iMac's. Just the 17" 2.0GHz iMac SuperDrive, ATi X1600 because I'll be connecting this to my 37" Sharp AQUOS LC-37D90U 1080p LCD HDTV...I returned the 42" Westinghouse LVM-42W2 because of too many issues! I only paid $200 more for this. Also the pic shows my HD DVD's, at 40 since July!

I forgot I even upgraded my bed also, LOL Full King Koil (Lady Katherine Pocket II with Euro Top). LOL

The leather chair is from Costco...I couldn't sell the 30" Panasonic CT-30WX54 HDTV CRT so I kept it for my XBOX 360 and (if I can get my hands on it) PlayStation 3. I aslo use it during NFL Sunday, watch two games! LOL

The Xbox on an iCurve stand is interesting , have you got a separate HD DVD player or the HD DVD drive for the Xbox? Apart from that, im trying to think what 37" of FrontRow looks like!!

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

^ I have both Toshiba HD-A1 and 360 HD DVD add-on (not in pic, lent it to my brother). I'm running the iMac on the AQUOS @ 1080p, 1920 x 1080...looks stunning!

I have the Samsung DVD drive on the 360 and it's still loud...then it's only an issue when I'm not using Dolby 5.1/polk audio's! LOL

OK folks - finally got round to taking a couple of shots of the new set-up. I'm new to Macs, although I had the Cinema Display running on my old PC. iMac spec is 20" 2.16GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 256mb card. My use is as a semi-pro photographer so mainly leaning heavily on Aperture.





3 minutes after unboxing I was online wirelessly, and everything has worked perfectly so far. I spent a couple of hours moving files to an external drive from my PC and then over to the mac - 85GB of music and 120GB of images took a while. I also had about 350mb of software updates which I did overnight, having set the mac to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity.

The goods: it's so fast to boot up, and so silent after the 747-at-take-off of my PC. The OS makes a lot of sense, Mail works and the great little o2m app meant I migrated all my mails, contacts and calendar without any issues. Everything absolutely flies.

The bads - Mighty Mouse - don't like the shape at all and I was struggling to get a decent right-click. So, the keyboard stays but I've gone back to my MX1000 mouse - feels far nicer to me.

My father-in-law is currently building me a new desk, and a custom aluminium stand to make the Cinema Display exactly the same height.

I think he just got doubles in there by accident. When you take that into account, 6 pictures isn't too bad. Nice setup, by the way!
