*** Show Off Your Apple Hardware ***

The skins are Gelaskins. Urban Retro or Amazon for the UK, or you can ship a much wider selection (or custom images) from the US. Expensive to ship though.

I dont want the wireless mouse, so i'll just use a regular mouse with the laptop.

Thought about something like the Logitech V470?

I'm thinking of a gelaskin or a Speck case for my 11" MBA, they look quite good!

The V470 looks alright, but it's wireless! Cba with batteries :( Will just grab some minimilist wired pewpew mouse, nothing fancy. It's only for final cut.

I have the Naga for my desktop gaming machine so a nice minimilist mouse will work out!

For all Apple's design goodness they missed a trick with the different heights of the display area on the iMac and standalone display :(

I'm amazed at their past marketing in why they changed to a black bezel. With a black bezel your eyes still see the black surround with the peripheral vision.

With those older ACD's I never suffer that problem. The silver bezels just blend in with the environment. Typing from one right now. It blends in so good that your focus on the screen feels like it's a borderless display.

From the web archive.

Color Coordinated
Your Apple display matches the sculpted aluminum enclosures of the Power Mac G5, PowerBook G4, and MacBook Pro. And for good reason. Apple designers carefully chose this hue to minimize interference with onscreen color, so you have a neutral reference point for viewing your work. And because this strong, anodized aluminum allows for an exceptionally narrow bezel, you can put multiple displays right next to each other, for a virtually seamless picture.

Probably because they don't care about the pro market now (you don't see many regular people using multiple Apple displays - ignoring the odd couple of people on enthusiast forums like this), which is who things like the 30" ACD were aimed at. They probably find 99% of people use only a single display. If I had multiple 27" displays I'd want to use a vesa mount though - the lack of height adjustability on the stands isn't particularly good when you're careful with ergonomics on a single display, let alone several.
 
Every time I check this thread it makes me feel the need to upgrade. :(

Oct. 2009 was the last time I posted a new machine, most certainly the longest time for me with the same machine...:eek::o
 
Likewise mate, installed lion on my late 2009 iMac and late 2010 MBP only to find out that the iMac is a model that doesn't support AirDrop.
Use 27's at Uni and although it's only 3 bigger than my 24 the difference seems vastly more that that.

Yeah but didn't you go from Mac Pro to Macbook Air to Mac Mini in the space of a year? I think your wallet will be okay for the next few years. ;) :p

Pretty much! Very daft with my money at that time, although I believe it was 2xiMac>MP>MBP>MBA>Mini

Having said that its been a great servant, 9400m is a very capable gfx for the most part. Handles various games and 1080p (and 1080 flash) video. It would be a screamer if I had the money for an SSD & maybe 8GB.

I think it'll serve me until next year! :)
 
Newest addition as of just under a week ago:

Mac mini as my NAS/media server. An expensive route to go, but at least it guarantees full compatibility with my Macs (something that Windows Home Server simply couldn't do) and paid a good price for it. Not the best time to purchase, but considering its usage, I'd have to pay a tad more for Ivy Bridge when it comes out (I'm guessing around £50-60) and wouldn't get any more usable performance. Even if USB 3.0 comes about, I'll still be limited by Wi-Fi speeds when it comes to transfers to the external drives, and it doesn't see many sequential transfers anyway. Will probably function as an HTPC soon.

The laptop drive on the top on its side there is from my MBP, and is connected to the mini for Time Machine backups of my two Macs, and the drive next to it is going to be for my FLAC rips (as it was before). It's tidier than it looks in there!
