Nice, I have those coffee cups too.
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
And a new, fresh one:
I'm not a huge fan of France or something, even though both the things on the right come from Paris
Just purely coincidence. Apple fan? I'd say yes, again, with the iMac clock Long time Mac user...first computer was an 1st gen iMac G3 
[/QUOTE]Where is your desk from? I've been looking for something like that for a while!

This was my set up a couple of months ago, looks a bit more polished now I'll take an updated photo at some point.
How are you outputting the display to the Dell monitor without any cables from the MacBook Pro?

Whats the receiver thing attached to the underside of your desk?
Nice clean setup btw!
It's an Ikea Vika Amon with Vika Moliden legs: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S99843742/
Thanks! It's not a receiver, it's two USB extension cables held together with zip ties, ran along the underside of the desk with adhesive cable anchors, then held together at the end with two zip ties
A good solution that is easily accessible - I'm not moving about a 14kg computer that has been put exactly in the middle of the desk with a ruler! While I'm here, might as well update the pictures, as I've removed the mousepad:

That desk requires a wireless mouse.

Cheers! Fantastic setup
I know! Just that I play a lot of TF2, and the response of most "non-gaming" wireless mice is slow, and the gaming mice are, for the most part, terrible IMO. It's something I just can't be bothered to fuss about!

How are the legs? I was thinking of putting them on my desk as the current ones allow the desk to wobble slightly. It's not a major issue normally, but I have 27in Cinema Display on a vesa mouse attached to the desk. And with that the wobble of my typing moves the screen.
Does the three sides of the legs give more support and stability?
I saw these at ikea a while back, but my local ikea is too small to stock them grr. Bristol branch so your one from your profile.
Not bad at all for just over £300 worth of Apple computer.
I'm getting this:
2010 27" iMac, only modification is increased memory.
Just goes to show how awesome Sandybridge is - My 15" MBP @ 2GHz.

Just got me a 15" MacBook Pro, guy in the shop said the 2.2 didn't have a hi-res option which I thought was odd, checked the apple site when I got home and it is an available option.
Do you guys think it's worth me taking it back?

That's definitely one issue that I have with Apple Stores, at least from my experience they don't seem to be quite as well informed as you'd wish they were.
Personally I'd take it back and go for the higher resolution display, as you'll only parting with an extra £80. It's roughly 35-40% more pixels. However, only you can make that decision.
