My setup isn't as amazing as various setups I've seen in this thread, but I think it's pretty neat for a 16-year-old.

Alright a couple new additions. External hard drive 750GB @7200rpm (I love the Mac Pro look of the casing.) for time machine, and my most recent purchase, 32GB iPad2 for eTextbooks and other reading

(college student).

Next, I would like to go with a triple monitor setup. A 55" samsung LED LCD 3D tv, with 2 27 inch monitors on each side.... I know it seems a bit overkill, but I watch all my Movies from my computer.

I love seeing all the different setups. This is one of my favorite threads to date. Thanks guys.

My setup:

2011 15" MacBook Pro
2.0 Ghz Quad Core i7
90GB OCZ SSD
750GB 7200rpm HD

24" Apple Cinema Display

I love the ACD, it adds so much to the desk!
Sorry for the low quality picture.

Thanks Buzz,

for the first time in a while I feel that my setup is complete (for now...) hahaha
I am constantly on the lookout for pieces to add!

Just thought it would be cool to start a threat where everyone shows off their desktop Mac set-ups. You see many picture threads on other forums, showing off the products they have purchased. Mine is nothing spectacular, but attached is a pic of my set-up. I have very limited space (small desk). So let's see your set-up folks.

May God Bless!

It's a stand for a MacBook Pro.

I've made a couple of minor changes -- different Epson printer, Apple BT keyboard, Magic Mouse, an additional backup drive ... but basically nothing's changed since 2008.

Later this year (I hope) I'll be finally replacing the BlackBook -- though Lion actually gave it a LOT of new life -- but I gotta move up to the MBP or perhaps even a proper iMac.
