Nice job with the QTVR. Seemless.

What kind of desk do you have your Cinema displays on, BTW?? Where'd you get it? I'm looking for something like that - big, clean and simple.

Thanks! Not quite seamless...but then it's v1.0 of Apple's QuickTime VR Studio, circa OS 8.x. I wish they'd update that under OS X.

The desk is a "conference table" from Storehouse (storehouse.com), but I've never seen it on their site. I think the desk + legs were $300 or so. It's 6' wide - a good foot wider than most desks. The desks that the older machines are on are all from IKEA.

Gotta love that blue wall!

blakespot, where did you get that little cart that you have your g5 on? I've been looking for something that will let me keep my g5 under the desk but still up off the floor. The wheels are perfect for pulling that beast out from under there.

If I'm not mistaken, that's an old macmice cart.. They haven't made those in a while.

#36 Sat, 19 Mar 2005 - 18:53

Well that stinks. Know of anyone that sells something similar?

Yep, it's a MacMice cart. Even though the owner of that company is arguably insane, I ordered and got it. Works well. Not sure of the current availability...

Kenneth, we have the same mousepad! I don't know why I use it because my MX 1000 tracks perfectly fine on the desk... but it's just too classic so I can't let it go

I just posted this in the lounge version of this thread. I guess it belongs here too. The new(ish) setup:

And a view of the other side so you can see where I put the printer:

Great setup. I've been looking for a larger desk, what kind of desk do you have and where did you get it?

Thanks,
Josh

It's cubicle furniture from Bush Furniture Online. It's nice because it's all modular so you can fit it in to your space. It's heavy though.

The disadvantage to having a four year old thread that revolves around picture linking is that, well... people don't keep servers forever. It is becoming more and more rare to have all pictures load before page 25 and next to impossible to find any that will load the further you go back towards page 1. All this does is cause annoying load hangs.

So, welcome to 'The New Power Mac Picture Thread'. I've taken the liberty of making this itteration of the Power Mac Picture Thread a sticky, so that it resides at the top of the forum listing.

For those of you stumbling across this thread who weren't around for the original 32 pager and would like to peek around it, you can find it here.

Now, on with the show:

I love these photos. One can really never get enough of people's setups. I read these threads, on several forums.

Usually, the setups are one or the other:

1) The beautiful setups that I envy
2) Beautiful setups, but a little messy, which makes me feel a little bit better about mine.

My desk never seems messy to me, everything is tidy in its place, but when I take a photo it looks messy. argh!

Regarding to the Apple mousepad, I got it in the late 90's.
