Some of these Mac are in end of life, but working like new.

 

And they were dreams for many, reality for others.

Full overview of the Mac Pro & 30" with mood lighting.

 

Yes, I sold my Mac Pro (pictured above). I'm now rocking on a MacBook Pro.

A little information about my setup:

 

1 8 core mac pro desktop (3 ghz) with 8 gigs of ram.

 

3 30" Apple LCDs, mounted on humanscale mounts - each is individually adjustable.

 

1 12" Wacom Cintiq tablet

 

Now for the other periphery in the shot :

1 Sharp Aquos 52" LCD TV.

Hooked up to it are:

1 Xbox 360 Elite

1 Playstation 3

1 2 ghz Mac Mini w/ 2 gigs of ram

 

The TV is mounted using a Chief PDR Dual-Arm mount - it extends 200 lbs up to 3 feet away from the wall

 

then I also have my 2.6 ghz 15" macbook pro (the new unibody ones) w/ 4 gigs of ram.

 

The desk my desktop is mounted on is a biomorph multi desk - I like it because the whole thing ratchets up / down and can be configured to exactly the height / configuration that you want. The little side desk I picked up from a local unfinished furniture mart and will be stained to match when I get around to that.

 

My chair is a custom Theropod chair from Allseating that I had made for me. I love it, it leans back farther than any chair I've ever had, and gives me full lower back support considering the way I like to slouch when I sit, and my back hasn't hurt since.

 

Soon to come: built-in shelving taking up the dead space next to the sides of the monitors / desk / etc, on both sides. the cubby my desk is in has about the same amount of space on either side. I will take more pictures once I get the shelving built and more of the room configured.

 

Behind me I have another desk with a couple computers on it, but that desk isn't fully set up yet, nor does it have nearly the array of stuff on it that the main desk does - more pics to come as the whole office gets configured the way I want it.

Also feel free to drop by my newly redone blog which has more details of the recent work done here.

 

Also feel free to see some other shots of the office as its currently set up

A few updates to my office space- sold the pair of Samsung 204t's in favor of a single 245bw to reclaim my desk space. New chair, new lighting.

Part of my current setup. I can't fit the entire thing in one photo, but this is most of it. I've got 35computers in total.(30 Macs, 4 Windows based and one Linux Box (Ubuntu))

Today I just finally saw a mid 2013 Mac Pro: WOW!

 

I have no words for describe the design and the performance of this machine!

Finally have my Mac Pro 5,1 running again, albeit without my second monitor working (dongle I purchased didn’t work to connect to the miniDisplay my monitor uses, grrr). Haven’t given up on that yet though. Monitors are much cheaper now though, if I have to pay to get a new one I will, reluctantly. Certainly feels crippled to work in Photoshop without a second monitor…
