My turn!

1 GHz Ti Superdrive, Apple 20" Cinema Display, Canon i950, Airport Extreme Base Station, 30 GB iPod, iSight, gray JBL Creature Speakers II, Apple Keyboard, Kensington Pilot Pro Optical. Not pictured La Cie 200 GB triple interface external HD, Belkin BT, Grado SR 60's and a bunch of "bag related" stuff from Waterfield Designs... sfbags.com; This setup should hold me over until a G5 Powerbook is released!

Nice and tidy setup. But that's no Apple Pro Keyboard...

jewing80 · Mar 17, 2004, 05:46 AM

Thanks! I guess I got a little carried away... I could have sworn the box said pro... oh well, changes made... all better!

striker100 · Mar 17, 2004, 10:22 AM

[Where did you get that printer stand?
I have the Canon i950 printer as well.

jewing80 · Mar 17, 2004, 12:04 PM

It's a Metal Art Jr. by Allsop. I picked it up yesterday from Staples for $20.

Out of the box my Ti fit, but was fairly tight. I actually had to put a bit of pressure on the back to get it to sit properly. I bent the legs out slightly and this resolved the fit problem. Unfortunately the head phone jack was not accessible because the metal leg obstructed it. I propped the back up on an eraser until I can go buy a Podium Pad to raise the entire Powerbook up.

Without something like the Podium Pad or possibly some other sort of stand I don't think this rack would work for a 15" AL. The fact that it is slightly wider and the location of the ports would prevent it from sitting properly between the legs.

The i950 hangs off about a half inch on each side, other than that it works perfectly.

All in all it was exactly what I was looking for!

I figured my first post on this forum with my new toy should be in this thread. Here is my setup pic. I have a 12" Powerbook purchased 2 weeks ago. It and the keyboard are the sexiest things on my desk (besides my Samsung monitors).Pictures are here

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm looking to some more of those minimalist setups that just knock my socks off. Keep it coming people.

DUDE! That setup kicks so much butt it's not even funny.

Hey! *grins* you have an ole' canon like I do. Still using it for faxes? heheh. I miss those days. (albeit I still have and use mine at times)..

Hrmm now if only I could get a good laptop

Lateralus · Mar 28, 2004, 04:55 AM

Yeah, it does kick ass. But I noticed that the aspect ratio seems to be wrong.

Any way of correcting it?

nsxpower · Mar 28, 2004, 10:07 AM

Nothing much to see here, just your everyday TiBook ... picture taken with Nokia 6600 (sorry).

romeosc · Mar 28, 2004, 11:32 AM

I only use the old cannon fax to send. I receive faxes by efax.

The aspect ratio can be adjusted, I am looking for a good bluetooth keyboard with trackpad to be able to use from recliner. I use airport to connect to old G4 desktop, HP 5050 printer and internet.

I am still setting up after the move. (wires still need to be hidden in grout joints of fireplace.

At least your priorities are straight. The flat screen is mounted - everything else is in boxes or empty.

The level of stupidity contained within that discussion is almost unthinkable.

And I thought Slashdot was bad...

Last time I tried, Finder threats any FTP share as write protected. A third party FTP app will do the trick for uploading your picture.
