Hi All, this is my first post on the new forum. I have been a keen listener of Mac Power Users for about 2 years now and have been a Mac user for about 10 years.
I love everything Apple so thought I would share my Home Office Setup.
My main machine is an iMac Pro 10 core with 128 Ram 4TB SSD
2 x LG 5k Thunderbolt 3 Monitors
2 x WD Passport 4TB External HD - One for Time Machine and the other for a daily clone of the internal SSD
1 x G Tech 12TB Thunderbolt 3 External HD - Used as a data dump and general storage
2 x Samsung T3 USB 3.1 External SSD - Used as data dump and also to take out on the road with me.
Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse and Keyboard
Wacom Intuos 5 Medium Tablet
Synology Diskstation 416play 14TB
Printing wise I have Canon PRO 1000 A1 printer, a Colour HP Laser and the Scansnap ix500.
I also have a Homepod, Apple TV 3rd Gen and the first generation iPad Pro 12.9 with Pencil.
I love this setup and really enjoy working on it !
This looks really cool Jason but I wonder how ergonomic are the screens when they are lined up so that all three are in a straight line. I have used a multi screen setup but always feel the need to turn the outer ones inwards for more comfortable viewing.
I am concerned about the neatness of your desk. Where are the coasters, coffee mugs, spare cables, little dish of miscellaneous screws, a foil bag or two from your last hard drive purchase, nail clippers, and pocket detritus that belongs on every home desk?
Neither or my areas are nearly that impressive. I have a corner desk upstairs (where I am now) in the guest room) which is where I do most my email and stuff in the morning. It’s a MBP 2015 with a broken keyboard (eldest spilled hot cocoa on it) that other wise works perfectly, so it sits in clamshell mode behind a 27" display and I have it connected to a sounder that is also behind the screen.
Downstairs I have a 2012 iMac (getting upgraded as soon as Apple does a 2018 refresh) with a second 27" display. Behind those are a lot of disks (20TB or so). I have an off-site Synology with 36TB of space, so everything gets backed-up at least thrice.
It is my DJ setup - Pioneer DJM 900Nexus, 2 x Pioneer DJM 2000Nexus and a RMX - 1000
This is the industry standing in nightclub across the world. I use Pioneer Reckordbox Music Management software on my mac to manage my DJ tracks and set playlist. These then get exported to SD Cards for playing out.
