Rig of the Day: Mac on a wall

We just can't get enough of those wall mounted LCDs. Check out mkwhitley's Mac on a wall. The Dell 2005FPW 20" LCD on the wall is connected to a Mac mini hidden beneath his desk, with the cables popping out at the baseboard. We love it.

PS-Where did you get that cool lamp?

That lamp has been around for a few years - it's commonly known as a "Medusa" lamp. If you Google it you'll find different variations on it, most of which are 3- or 5-headed desk or floor lamps. The 4-headed one above seems rare, but if you like the colors and the design it's easy to find one that approximates it . . .

"This is my 200 foot projection screen hooked up to 7 G5 Quads, running bootcamp. Don't ask me how I did it."
And if people accuse me of photoshopping it, I'll just say I resised it.
