    No way, the IBM Model M is the best keyboard ever. It is device of legend, something that few people these days will get the privilege to use, with today's rubber dome keyboards. The IBM Model M is the defining keyboard, something that is to be greatly respected for it's tactile feedback and mechanical design.

    Love the projector setup. Was looking into one, before buying a Sony EX1 46". Lack of wall space is what finally pushed me the LCD way.

    True, but I'm too cheap! The one I have in the picture is a unicomp model, bought it new in box on ebay for $20. It's a European design and I'm in the USA so layout is a bit different than I'm used to

    I can't use a small desk, I have to have the biggest possible surface area I can find. May be an indicator to how messy I usually work...

    I've owned two models, and I sold the last one 2 years ago. I wanted to upgrade, but I didn't like Sony's lineup back then. That's when I went Mac :cool:.

    I'm probably going to stick to a Mac, unless Sony or another manufacturer releases something totally irresistible. I don't mind switching OS's, just as long as there's a really good reason to do so. I kind of want to try out an IBM/Lenovo, but they're just a tad too unattractive for me :p.

    So, what's your standard for irresistible notebook? Will the new Core i5/i7 Z-Series make you have second thought about keeping you Mac? :D

    I haven't researched it much, but from the looks of pictures online - it's nothing too special. Though it is quite powerful for a 13". SZ design (with Macbook keyboard) + Z power = my new notebook ;).

    Cheers guys.

    Side note, if anyone is gonna do this, dont use incandescent light bulbs, but the Eco ones which have little heat or you will burn your monitors nicely. or you might be better off with LED strips.

    EDIT: "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly." Nice sig, im gonna be stealing that! :p
