Lots of folks seem to have the LaCie 250Gig external HD...is this a fairly standard add-on for Mac users? Sorry - I'm a Mac newbie :)

Sturdy drive, great price. I have been using two 160GB LaCie Firewire D2s with my Mini with no problems.

It's overpriced, but it always works. If you want to save a little money you can buy an external case for around $35 and just put a standard drive in it. Otherwise, the Lacie is definitely easy and reliable.

My Set-Up...
 

Ok, my set ups are a mess, I know, and the pictures are crap: There a bunch of speakers and an airport or two not in the pictures. Still, I thought it would be humorous to label every part of my set-up, including the nail scissors lying around at the time :p

Haha I like the "Hair Brush" touch.

I found the desk from the original post of this thread! Nice setups can be had, check here..

Thanks! Still waiting for the next version to come out ;)

This is where I spend wayyy too much time online

G4 DI 733 w/ GeForce4 MX 32 MB, ADC 22" Cinema Display, huggy bear Labtec speakers (I have a pair of Apple Pro speakers but these babies crank much louder hehehe), Palm V sync with Keyspan USB serial.

In the Spirit of this thread (and the new 15" I got yesterday!) I've updated my picture, and also added the shot of the iMac + stuff downstairs.

On a side note, people tell me my home network is a bit complicated for 3 - 6 computers! Two routers, airport express + other bits and pieces (including Apple Remote Desktop!)

dude some of those setups are awesome
 

specially the unorganized ones just like me, I don't have pic yet but just as messy as some of those other ones.

Personnaly, I'm starting to get realy suprised at the number of Macs in iNemo's possession ! Geeze ! He's almost go enough computers and hardware for me to make my home an "Internet in every room" home ! lol

I still have 2 15" powerbooks at dads (although they are his), 2 more 15" 's on the way from ebay (fingers crossed!) plus the older stuff such as:

Mac Classic SE
LC II
Apple ][e
Newton messagepad 120

plus random stuff such as an apple cd player, apple speakers, etc.

Since your supposed to be a student, I'm starting to think your a drug dealer or something of the kind... Either that or your realy lucky to have such nice parents :D

The macs have been aquired over the years. I grew up hanging off the Apple ][ then Apple ][e joystick on the coffee table.

I'm a mac baby :cool:

We just got some new computer workstations at Ikea for the house...

Is the G5 suspended? It looks like it's attached to the side of the desk.

It's on a platform that attaches to the side of the desk, and is held there with a nylon web strap that you can barely see looped through the handles on the G5 case (it's a gray strap). The whole thing is modular and adjustable; those gray metal uprights on the sides are full of holes all the way up. You can attach various things at any level you want. There's also a cable manager underneath, and some more swivel shelves I haven't attached yet (similar to what the PB is on). I have my printer on another swivel shelf hanging off the opposite side of the G5 now. Really a nice setup for a computer-centric worker.

I've had other versions of this desk (or very similar ones in structure) and found them realy nice. The're realy sturdy (only not so expensive desk I had than didn't bend over time form having two heavy ViewSonic 19 inch monitor on it !), configurable, "relatively" light. Sold the last one with my old computer since for now I only have a PB for home, but will surely get a new model of the same kind when I get (hopefully soon) a new iMac G5 (don't realy need anything more than that at home).

Yeah, by using metal they avoided the usual problems with cheap press-board furniture. Plus it's cheap, around $220 as seen there (many parts are sold separately so price varies by configuration). Easiest furniture assembly I've had to do.

Ok here is mine, I finally got around to taking some pictures of it:

but my Ibook G3/500 with 640 ram and combo drive and 40 gig drive is at work so that is not pictured.

here are the pictures:
