Nothing says “geek” like a desk that’s loaded with Apple gear. Some prefer the cockpit-style setup with multiple monitors and tons of peripherals, while others prefer simple, minimal setups.
A desk that’s home to some cool tech can be a very grand thing to behold. And we want you to show us your Apple setups!

My Setup

My semi-minimalist desk.. Although my music equipment and external camera add to the clutter.
Not really a set up, but here is my MacBook Pro. Nice set ups guys :D
“Nothing says “geek” like a desk that’s loaded with Apple gear.”
I think a desk loaded with gear of mixed brands beats one with only Apple gear when it comes to geek points :p
Here is my setup, minus my older MacBook Pro which was being camera shy at the time.
My hacked together graphic design setup at work. 20 inch cintiq with a secondary 27 inch apple cinema display. Unseen is my mac pro with 48 gb of ram!
All good.
More of an ottoman than a desk but.. i like to work(play) from couch.
