    Yup, any which way you want. it can rotate 360 degree's

    also the box is VERY applesque like the Old G5/G4 ipod boxes or the Air.

    Looks like its compatabile with iPhone/Touch. It looks like the OP has a 1G touch on there (based on the black bezel).

    Its going for around 35 bucks + s/h on ebay. Although it looks really cool 35+ $ is a lot to spend on a stand :S

    Oh, ok, I didn't really see what was sitting on it, just the stand itself. :p. Yeah, I have to agree it is a bit much for a stand, but if you really have a need for it, it's a good addition. ;)

    OP,

    Do you have a 24" LED ACD as well in that pic? Then all three of your stands (mstand, xstand, and default ACD stand) would match :D

    Haha! Thats an awesome setup :drooling. I would love to get an LED ACD, buts its just a tad too expensive right now. Hopefully I can afford one in a couple of years.

    You know, the only improvement that I can actually think (aside from the larger desk) is that you should consider getting a Apple wireless keyboard and BT MM, just to eliminate the wires.

    If you are in need of the numberpad and don't like the BT connection interface on the mouse, then just disregard this comment.

    Yea, i def need a bigger desk. (Looking at a glass corner setup) and a nice Leather chair.

    The Keypad was the main reason for the Keyboard.... But the mouse, Well i'm starting to think a Wireless one probably would look better, and i'd need a apple looking mousepad if i were to go with my glass corner desk.

    The Apple keyboard isnt that bad (its grown on me since I've started using it more with my MBP). The Mighty Mouse on the other hand...I'll just never get used to the feel of it. I hate it

    Diggy,

    Why so? I heard there are issues with the trackball getting dirty, but is this the reason you hate the wireless MM? I was looking into getting one of these, especially since they are running cheap on ebay. Would love your input.

    Thanks!

    I just dont like the overall feel of the mouse and the response of the button when clicking. Also, I have big hands and the MM feels quite small (hand starts to hurt after using it for quite some time - I dont have this problem with the Logitech). Its great that you can set it up to simulate a right-click (secondary button) but I've just never been happy with it. On my iMac at home, I replaced the Apple keyboard and mouse with the Logitech S530 combo. Much better feel. If I could get the mouse by itself, I would definitely do so, as I've gotten used to typing on the Apple keyboard (I use the wired one that came with my iMac on my MBP now).

    By any chance do you think a blackberry 8900 could fit in there? The dimensions are very close...

    Its really really nice. However 30 bucks is a lot to spend for an iphone stand.
