@Tronix - really nice clean set up - and Steve Jobs thanks you for your contribution to the value of Apple stock.

I'm a firm believer in paying money for a good chair, especially if you spend any length of time sitting in it. May cost more, but it lasts longer, is more comfortable, and in the long-run, your back will thank you for it .

Agreed – and thankfully so does my boss.
After we had amassed a collection of all kinds of crappy chairs over the years, everyone got a new chair last winter, costing about €700 each.

I have to admit, I miss it at home a bit, where I have a nice but fairly basic ikea chair.

My back is in complete agreement with you.

This redefines what I ever thought I'd pay for a chair though. What I'd really like - is to have this at work - where I spend most of my time at a desk. The problem here is - we all have the exact same chairs - and they're supposedly quite adjustable - and I even had our Erg group here last week doing an eval - but still - my back isn't happy - at all. I really like the looks of that chair - would love to try one out before shelling out that kind of money though. I think I have a mental block about buying furniture. We still have a couch in our house that I had in college!! Sad, I know.

I just picked up one up from Brookstone (while I was at the apple store picking up another display) which is an X-Stand like the JustMobile X-stand for the iPhone. It's a plastic mock, I wish JustMobile would make a real X-Stand for the iPads.

Is there anything better than the new 27" LED Cinema Displays from Apple? Why yes there is.. TWO 27" LED Cinema Displays from Apple.

I made the Mac my primary workstation now. THe PC has officially taken the backburner. I guess next up will be some new desks and oh yeah.. a Mac Pro. =)

Steve Jobs himself would be envious of your setup!

I also like how conveniently the bezels hide Johnny Depp's rather annoying face....

I love those little things. I put a 2TB drive in each of them and they are plugged into the Airport Extreme Base Station next to them. They serve all the AppleTV's throughout the house with all of my Movies, Pictures and TV shows (via XBMC).
