They sound very good actually, they easily fill out a small room and the looks are a bonus

A very clean corner. I like it. I like big screen too.

Funky speakers, nice setup very minimialistic.

That sub looks like a mini water fountain!

I am sorry to hear that! (I **hate** docks because they are ugly and take up space.)

LOL! I agree...but they also add a lot of convinience...that in my book makes them a must!


back on track...


I remember looking at a set of speakers like that, I think they were marketed for the Mac?

Its a good thing its not your setup then.

Yeah...I use to have a Powerbook, Macbook Pro and iMac....but no more Apple for me.

@brikey: Why?

As for a dock, it might be handy for some, but for me it's not worth the money, I'll just put in 2 usb cables and the adapter every time.

Yeah I see what youre sayin. But when you have 3 ext disks, a monitor, midi-keyboard+a slew of other peripherals it comes in very very handy.

Very true. However, if you want to use a large number of external accessories with your laptop (monitor, speakers, keyboard mouse), the dock prevents your desktop from becoming an even-more-ugly-than-the-dock cluster of cables that you constantly have to connect/disconnect when you move your laptop.

Very nice setup, I love your table - the color/finish is really nice. I see that you also upgraded your mouse and sperakers, and added a neat little lamp to your setup

What happened to the widescreen LCD?

Thank you!

I just didnt use it as much with the TP because I love the screen on this thing so I actually sold it. Ive been looking into getting a new one+ext keyboard but the keys on my TP are just too [censored] good to give up!

Same speakers and mouse here! Unfortunately, i failed to get used to this mouse, it is not one to handle by fingers but by the entire hand. So i'm looking for, hum, more mighty mice. I will lack the delicious wheel.

I got one these from buy.com for $17 shipped, and it is the best mouse I have ever used. It is controured just right to fit your right hand perfectly (no fear of carpal tunnel). Instead of the scroll wheel, you have a trackpoint-like stub and you press on it downard to scroll down and vice versa. It is amazingly comfortable to use ont my SXGA+ screen. The scrolling speed and the pressure required to scroll can be controlled just like the trackpoint.

Just copy pasted this post from another thread I made - too lazy!

I really like your second set up very much, how I wish I could such an uncluttered area; by the way, is that a phone in both photos, and did it switch from black to silver??

Good setup.

I don't know why it's me who likes to stuff the table with various devices and cannot work without them.

I love this mouse, youre right about the whole hand thing tho.

How do you like your speakers?

Thx Purcy! Yup...I used to have a Samsung x820 but recently switched to a SE W880i. Im a gadget freak and constantly looking for new phones

Satisfied, the dynamic range complies with quite different uses. I never use the remote control, but the additional aux input and headphones jack on the control pod are a nice plus. One con is this classic "shh" background when on power.
I don't plan an upgrade for now and don't feel the use to. Maybe in the futur, with a huge office and lofty workspace, for true spatial sound.
