Sportin' the Ultra Aluminus I see  .Do you not have a table for the printer though? It seems weird to leave it on the floor like that.

Mugmoor posted:Sup case buddy? Sportin' the Ultra Aluminus I see Well I just bought the printer the other day so that's where it sits. My girlfriend and I are (hopefully) about to move into our first house (pending inspection and all that) so I'm not buying any furniture until I know what works and what doesn't. Basically I'm going to get a new desk soon and put all three computers and the printer on some sort of metal cart next to it. That's the plan at least.

I didn't even know it was possible to close the lid on macbooks and use an external display only (hurr dumb mac user). I don't really know why anyone would want to do that, except for aesthetics and space. Is that why all of you are doing this?

IOwnCalculus posted:Where did you get that stand for your MBP? It's just a cheap hack I threw together until I think of something better. I took a stamped sheet-metal bookend and stuck the wide foot into a vice and bent it ~60º to form the cradle for the MBP. The long, narrower foot (not visible) extends towards the edge of the desk and provides support. I cut a piece of thin foam to fit the cradle to provide a little cushioning and protection against the metal. The stand is fixed to the desk surface with a few non-permanent adhesive squares (like you use to hang posters and frames).

It's obvious from the whole thing how long it's been since I've had time, money, or inclination for gaming. Click here for the full 1600x1240 image.  Click here for the full 1600x1067 image. I made that realization looking at the pictures after I took them for the thread. Also my unadorned cement walls and linoleum floor. Oh well, someday I'll have a few coins to rub together and get some more monitors.

I use a super small desk so doing dual displays using my macbooks monitor would be a pain. I do however like using larger monitor and full setup for the keyboard sometimes. I just close the lid, plug it in, and slid it into a cubby under the desktop and go to town. My Macbook is my one and only machine for regular work so I carry it with me at all times. I don't have an independent desktop.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. My work desk is a little cluttered. Actually so is my home desk. I don't know how you guys using Apple keyboards manage. I think we've got five of them here that are sitting in a box somewhere because none of us can stand them. We like our hulking behemoths   Ugh...I have a lot of junk I need to get rid of.

For those of you running larger Monitors (speakers, not visual devices) next to your systems, are you powering those through stuff like the other guy's Naim Audio stuff, or is there some other way of driving them I'm unaware of? And I'm assuming you guys aren't running onboard audio :gasp:

destructo posted:Most monitors are self powered. (or are you referring to soundcards? I'm using a M-Audio Delta 66) Nope, the speakers are what I was wondering about. I didn't realize. I am looking to get a bit better quality sound system running and hoping to do some audio editing once I move here in the next month or so, so I've scrapped my old computer desk, monitors, and speakers and will be starting fresh, trying to get an idea of what I need/want

And I'm assuming you guys aren't running onboard audio :gasp: I use a MOTU 828 MkII, which is pretty much just an external soundcard and Yamaha HS80M self powered monitors. You'll very rarely see someone using a power amp and passive speakers. e: disregard previous advice, I missed that you were planning on audio editing.
