Wait. I am confused now. How do I span across two monitors? One being a 19" CRT monitor and the other being the monitor built into my iMac. Help? PM me!

Beautiful.
What size/model is the dell monitor it looks real nice.

[iREZ]

thanks

its an fp2005 20" widescreen...i would assume that the 24" widescreen dell monitor with a 20" imac would look identical in ratio. if i had any advice to give, its that you should wait till the new sharper looking dell monitors are released, they look snazzy.

My setup consists of a PBG3-333Mhz with RAM upgraded to 192MB, Apple Pro Mouse, and Epson Stylus Color 880i. It runs OS 9.2.2 The other is an iMac DV SE 400Mhz with HDD upgraded to 40GB, RAM upgraded to 256MB, 2.1 Labtec speakers, and a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (just for the hell of it). It runs 10.3.9.

The iMac is my primary computer. I use it in place of my P4 3 Ghz Northwood core. I was thinking about hooking it back up, as my room is now noticably colder in its absence.

Is that powerbook underneath the iMac? It's hard to tell from the photos. If not, how did you get the 2405 to line up so well with the iMac? From Dell's specs, the 2405's minimum height is 22", which is about 3" taller than the 20" iMac.

[brassplayersrock²]

the answer to your question is right infront of you dkwong ;-) read hats description

[dkwong]

I saw that, but I don't see the foot of the iMac, so I wanted to ask for clarification. Perhaps it's tucked into the packaging of the Powerbook?

[HattoriHanzo]

Yeh, its a 12 inch powerbook resting on the foot of the imac - in a tucano microfiber case.

Nothin magic about the dell - it actually goes down a little further than that too

This was my desk a few weeks ago, I moved my router out from under the speaker, jigged things around a bit, but its essentially the same.

Sorry to keep beating on this issue, but I really want to get a 2405fpw to go with my 20" iMac but first want to make sure that the setup is aesthetically pleasing. So you're saying that the 2405fpw can be adjusted to match up with the height of the 20" iMac without raising the iMac off of the table?

[HattoriHanzo]

i can only vouch for mine - but yes... fits perfectly!

How do you like those JBL speakers? I'm thinking of getting a pair. At the moment I have some logitech 2.1 system, and to be fair it gives a nice sound, but they look so ugly next to my lovely white iMac!

I love them, the sound is really, really good, and I'm using them constantly during the day, sound is still clear at high volumes, and they look really god next to my iMac too. I'd recommend them.

Believe it or not, I just sold it this morning, as amazing a piece of kit as it is, I hardly ever used it. I'll get a DS lite instead, It'll be little a little brother to my iBook.

I like my DS alot, but it doesn't match everything else on your desk. That was the thing that jumped at me because PSP are black when I see them.

I thought it might be. Its a Wacom wide, i've one of them there awesom! well recomended.

[stefanicotine]

I realized I already posted my desktop but I'm updating it with a much better picture. The last one was grainy and not under very good lighting.

here it is! And to the guy who had a question about the Acer 19" 1916ws, that's it wallmounted beside my iMac.

How do you find the Acer 19" 1916WS? i'm going to be picking up one next week and i'm looking forward to it, coming from a 15" CRT to a 19" WS LCD

[theokandroid]

For a second I didnt even notice your iMac, it's like a chameleon.

hehe yeah, it's an odd picture. I had some really cool lighting coming in from the side of my room that lit the beauty right up

[stefanicotine]

you get what you pay for. it's not a bad monitor at all but i don't recommend it for graphic work. the backlighting is rather uneven at the top and bottom of the screen (you'll see it if you have a solid color). No ghosting though, and looks sexy wallmounted It's a good buy. Not the BEST buy, but definitely a good one. Can't beat the price. If you're willing to spend an extra 50 bucks though, the Viewsonic 19" widescreen with DVI and VGA ports (switchable too, from the front interface) would probably be a better choice

[andretan]

stefanicotine: Nice setup and nice pic!

Thanks for the feedback i'm still going to get the Acer 1916WS as I can get an awesome deal on it, 20% off, the total is like 3oo$ CAD. I'm excited to make the transition from CRT to LCD, and i'm looking forward to the possibilty of purchasing a Mac Mini Intel Core Single next month around this time.

My question also, where are you getting the Acer 1916WS from?

We get it, your rich haha jokes jokes, I love your set up. Very clean, very aesthetic

[praveen]

Thiagofll, cool set up... simple and sweet

[iREZ]

where's the keyboard and mouse?...im assuming in the drawer, if so do you use them while in the drawer or are they wireless so you could use em where you please?

[thiagofll]

Hey guys, thank you for all the compliments! The middle drawer opens, so I have my mouse and keyboard in there. The drawer's front part drops to provide support for your hands while typing (it is a computer desk even though it doesn't really look like one). It's a pretty cool desk, when I saw I had to have it. I used scotch packing tape to make it look nice and neat LOL. All the wires are taped behind the desk. The JBL speaker's wires are the worse though...

[irockdabari]

thiagofll

did you know that in your signature you state that you have a white iPod Video 30GB instead of the black one seen in your picture, and in the note you wrote on your picture?

just noticed...

[thiagofll]

Yeah I used to have the white iPod, but sold it and got the 60 GB Black instead..I forgot to update my signature...

Blasphemy! *jokesjokes* What don't you like about them? I tested some out in an Apple Reseller and though they don't really compare with digital 5.1, they have a nice sound. I don't know much about speakers though, I guess if you were picky about your sound then they wouldn't cut it hey?

[thiagofll]

No No they sound great...I was talking about the wires, they are the worse to hide...too clunky...I love my JBL Creature they sound just as good as the Bose companion 3....

[stefanicotine]

I'm very glad you clarified that!!! Had you not, well, let's just say I'd have to roundhouse kick your macaroni!!!!111one

Can I pelase have the link were you got that nice wallpaper from?

[email protected]

[stefanicotine]

That wallpaper will look GROSS stretched across two screens like I did. I only did that for the picture because it looks cool from a distance. But if you're on a single screen then it's a VERY complimentary wallpaper for the iMac. I got it from Mandolux's website, and I suggest you check out the rest of his work. Alot of great wallpapers for single, dual, triple, and even quadruple screens.

The link to his website is here (He uses frames, so it's illogical to direct link to the image, because I'm sure you'd like to select a resolution) http://mandolux.com/

The image I used is called "Darkness/Leaf" and it can be found in the Archive under the year 2006, the month 03, and the day 12.
