A couple months back my wife got a new macbook and I took her old iMac. I have a unibody macbook pro so I don't really need a desktop but it is handy to leave on 24/7 for downloading, using the remote application on our phones (we have an airport express or apple tv in all the main rooms and bedrooms), and using it for basic stuff like e-mail and the internet. When I have to work from home I typically use my laptop but sometime I use the iMac along with it because of the dual screens (it really helps in my field).
20" iMac Intel Core2Duo w/ 3GB Ram
20" Cinema Display
Bose Companion 5 Speakers
Logitech MX Revolution
Logitech di Novo Edge, Mac Edition
Two 500GB G-Tech Q
One 750GB G-Tech Q
Not pictured is a Konica Minolta Color Laser, Epson Scanner, EyeTV Hybrid, Airport Extreme, and one 750GB el-cheapo maxtor drive (used to serve up media to Boxee on the Apple TVs, back when I only had a laptop at home I needed something on 24-7 for streaming). In other rooms there are 4 airport expresses (office, guest room, dining room, garage) and two apple TVs (living room, bed room).
Work Office
24" iMac 2.4Ghz w/ 4GB RAM
22" Dell Monitor
15" Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz w/ 4GB Ram
LowKey iMac Stand
MStand
Logitech MX1100
Eikon Finger Print Reader (I come back to my desk a lot with different people to show them things, that way I don't have to enter my password in front of them)
Not pictured is a Fujitsu scansnap, HP BW laserjet, brother USB label printer, one g-tech 120GB FW800 drive and two 750GB Lacie Neil Poulton drives (time machine for desktop and laptop).
Sweet!! I didn't crop it out of the photo just to see if anyone would recognize them. Got those a few months ago- love 'em. The kind of speakers I really want cost more than my education, but for what I paid these guys are amazing. Hooked to my 42" plasma and 7.1 Pioneer receiver- pretty nice over U-Verse HD.
My setup changed- Nehalem 2.66 Mac Pro. Time to head to Fry's to get some memory and hard disks.
Really nice pic, which REALLY makes me want to buy an Air for my sporadic business trips...amazing how good the Air looks, and how far all other "competitors" are from its design majesty...
32 inch sharp aquos, mac book pro, ipod touch (next to the macbook pro) philips speakers, xbox 360, sega genesis, some harry potter books.
Rich-Myster: Please do yourself a favor and change how you have those (imitation) swords on the rack! You would be a laughing stock if anyone in the know saw that. Japanese swords of that type (Katana, Wakazashi and Tanto in decreasing order by size) are ALWAYS placed with the blade pointed UP! And not doing that is considered an insult. Just to save you some face!

dvi switch?
Mmm Its just am unaware if there is an "official" Mini Display Port to DVI solution.
I know lots has been written on the subject, with gnashing of teeth re No Mac Pro /G5 option.
But perhaps there is another way....
Is you Mac Pro connected to the 24" LCD and if so how?
TIA.
It's a 2009 Mac Pro with Mini-Displayport.

My wife and I are both really neat so this is what it looks like all the time- no cleaning up for a photo necessary.

Less concerned with the Macs, more impressed with the Dell speakers circa 2000. I'm glad I'm not the only one that still has these in active duty.
