I didn't particularly want the Cinema Display already having a Dell with the same panel in it. They refused to split.

I can't believe I have never posted in this thread! Here is my setup, I just copied it from my post on another forum (slightly old picture now, just over a month or so):

You might notice...no cables under the desk! Apart from power

How am I going to easily plug things in without moving the iMac though?

Apologies for the quality, iTouch camera...:S

All that lovely wireless and hidden cables, then you spoil it with a cruddy cable mouse?

logitech g5 all the way!

I'd rather have a wire than a touch sensitive door wedge.

The Magic Mouse is remarkably...un-magical.

Here's my (rather bargains, £200!) Mac Pro (1,1). Not my first foray into the world of Apple, I've also got a rather ageing MacBook (2,1), and I've owned various iPods and iPhones too. But this is certainly one step above.

I've upgraded it a touch, with two Quad-Core Xeons (Incorrectly reported as 1.86GHz 1066FSB, as I've BSEL modded them so that they are now 2.33GHz and 1333FSB. Bootcamped Windows 7 reports them correctly, so I know all is well, and PowerFractal numbers confirm the real performance in OS X). It's also got 4 500GB HDD's in two RAID1 arrays (software unfortunately, no hardware RAID card in this one), 22GB of RAM (4x 4GB, 2x 2GB and 2x 1GB), a Radeon HD5770 1GB (PC version, flashed with EFI ROM), and I've also added the bluetooth and airport modules.

All in, I've spent around £325 on buying and upgrading the Mac Pro, which I feel is decent enough value!

Whats your Geekbench score with that?

Never run it! I'll find out tonight and post up the results

That keyboard seems miles away from the front of the device is it not a nightmare to type with?

No.

Always liked the way the anti-glare MBP's look, seems sensible for all MBP's to be anti-glare as in theory a laptop will be used outdoor/indoor but indoors the glass displays are extremely sharp and bright. Is it noticeable in detail between the two? I have no experience of an anti-glare display.

I was told that antiglare has silver bezel around the screen and normal is black (?)

Correct. See photo a few posts above.
