Like the paint color what is it called? Sorry, I do not know. When the painter got to my office, all I said was I wanted a dark color like a grey and that is what I got. I am really happy with it.
If it helps, it was from a HomeDepot dark/rich paint sample booklet. |

Nice setup. Wouldnt mind a Mac Pro myself. I got my first Mac (Book Pro) - mmmm - maybe 9 months ago, havnt looked back. If I could get a Mac Pro at a reasonable price, and I could afford it, I'd get one, and maybe with a 30 inch screen too. But IMO, the Apple screens are much too expensive. I got a Dell 24" for half the price of a "23" inch Apple.... :-/ |

But I run ultrasharp monitors as well since my job doesn't depend on it, and I don't have my degree yet.
That is a really nice looking setup, enjoy! |

As long as I can see the image and its about right, its fine for me in my line of work.
I use a 23" Apple at work because thats what I was supplied with, but at home I use a 24" Dell. Personally I would have chosen a 24" Dell at work aswell since they were about half the price of the Apple at the time, but it wasnt my choice.  |
