Stunning Mac Setups 3: The Minimalist Effect

It's an undeniable fact that minimalist mac setups can draw our productivity to its fullest. Some of my favorites mac setups are those with clean, big desk supported by comfortable lighting condition.

If you want to decorate your cubicle or even turn it to be your productivity workplace, these setups will give you some inspirations to start with.

It's a very good idea to put desk lamp to make your mac even more attractive and compelling to eyes. With proper angle setup, your desk lamp can add up to your setup's elegance.

These are all stunning, and much cooler than what I've got going on.

And I love how Wei is running World of Warcraft. Woo!

Robin 

Love it! Thanks for the fantastic post. I wish I could have some of these awesome setups. I'm definitely a minimalist person.

I really would like to know where did you people get these docking stations for the macbooks. I have the new 13" MacBook with an external screen and my setup would be so much better with a docking station... :)

Here is my set up!

Reinaldo 

I love it, specially the colored keyboard of a macbook <3

Jake 

Those setups are stunning. Just lock your doors and sleep with a gun because it would suck to have those stolen.

Chris Liphart 

Here's my temporary setup while my wife is pregnant and preferring to be on the couch.

The Zune is hers, by the way.  ;)  The only thing missing is that my 23" monitor is on the dresser in my bedroom for use with Front Row in the evenings.  Well, that and my actual desk, which is down in my office in our barn.

psleda 

Thanks  for sharing my home office setups....

Stunning ?... wich one is suposed to stun me ?.. most, if not alle of the setups (wich i suppose are all american) is the opposit of minimalistic. Some even step on the edge og being vugar. here in denmark we have quite a different view on both the word stunning and the term  minimalistic.
You dont get good taste from buying Apple. you either have it or you dont.

WTF, some of these guys have 3 cinema displays wtf that's almost 3000 dollars or even more. I only own a $159 23'' acer screen which has no adjustment options but at least it works pretty well. Really nice setups. I most certainly can get nothing done on these desks as I would spend too much time appreciating the lamps, the screens and the macs.

JonC 

This is my setup. Certainly NOT minimalist! [Link]

That cool clock screensaver is called Fliqlo. [Link]

lol my setup is very futuristic and it has an awesome under the sea affect...
i hired a pro wall designer to paint my walls the scene of the light dawn at sea.

its not dark at all and refreshes my mind at all times... Try it!

AlphaComputing 

You should have Chris Pirillo's setup

Brett 

Please STOP using the word Stunning!  I hate it and it is SOOOO over used. These are nice but. please they are not stunning! They are computers, not golden idols!

Steele 

Excellent workplaces!

Jason M. 

Very nice setup. How do you get your keys colored? It would be great to color them for gaming. Easy to be spot out.

Chai Life 

If only my desk could stay anywhere near as clean as any of those...

Brian 

Here is my setup. Let me know what you guys think?

Love these setups, but

How exactly is having a large clean desk a Mac user-specific thing?

Derek 

Lovein' all the Mac setups :D

Mine it similar, but a bit more cluttered.

Turk 

They look good, must have taken them a couple of hours to pack all the pens, paper, coffee mugs, blank disks, then get the ruler out to measure everything... :)

How about the most messy with the most flashy kit photo set up? i could apply for that, i got the 6 hard drives, 24" Imac, 2 Laptops, mini mac , 40" flatty, 11 speaker system, 2 amps, motu828, keyboards (audio n qwerty) ipods n docks n other things that flash lights  - i'm just jealous cos i can't be that tidy, i've looked but theres not a straight edge or 90 degrees on my body so maybe i don't want to be or i don't wont to feel as if I should be ;P

Josh 

Does anyone know where to get that black-themed Analogue-style flip clock for the Mac? (69/365, by Christina).  Is it a screensaver, or an app, etc?  I love it, but can't seem to find it online anywhere.
