Rig of the Day: The studio
Today's rig features one serious G5-powered home studio. A huge Cinema Display surveys its domain from on high. Not being a professional musician, I don't even know what most of that stuff is, so maybe reader metanut can enlighten us?"Studio" posted by metanut.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: The desk of a switcher
What could be more satisfying than seeing a retired Windows laptop looking sadly on as an iMac proudly occupies its former space on the desk? Flickr user markjreeves77 depicts this scene with his snapshot. Are those Mardi Gras beads? After reading Database in Depth, I can see how a guy could want to cut loose a little bit."My rig (per TUAW) at home" posted by markjreeves77.

Rig of the Day: I just gotta be me
Ok, so technically this isn't someone's rig, but that lone green iMac among a sea of blue reminded me of that old Far Side comic in which one penguin among a multitude was trying to assert his independence. You go, lime iMac. As an aside to ghostofchicken, who posted this shot: If you don't need those iMacs, I'll be happy to take them off your hands."imacs" posted by ghostofchickenIf you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Oh, my electric bill!
Flickr user tbridge has got a lot of stuff plugged in at once here. Check out the 20" G5 iMac, 20" Cinema Display, Powerbook, Mac mini (with attached 160GB LaCie drive) and a 3G iPod. Not to mention the Creature Speakers, two lamps, printer and clock (though that may run on batteries)."Desk" posted by tbridge.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Great vintage collection
Check this out. Flickr user Henri has got a great set of vintage Apple products in his snapshot. Note the (blueberry?) iMac, the Powerbook, Newton Message Pad, the Apple PowerCD with remote (wow), eMate, Color Classic and a Twentieth Anniversary Mac. I must confess, I had never seen an Apple PowerCD before, and had to write to Henri for an explanation.

Rig of the Day: Technosexual
Flickr user Vedia really likes his laptops. Check out this sweet display: A 12" Powerbook G4, a 14" iBook G4, a Pismo Powerbook and finally a Powerbook 5300c. Pretty nice, just make sure the 5300 doesn't burst into flames ok? Rounding out Vedia's collection is a pair of LaCie Porsche drives, a 3G iPod (I still prefer the design of the 3G) and a couple of Apple Pro mice. I really want to squish that mousepad."Technosexual" posted by Vedia.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Rockin' the Cube
I'd very much like to own a Cube some day. Apple's Tissue Box may have lived a short life, but I think it's a very desirable machine, with its sweet design and upgrade options. Flickr user mrgaskell notes that he recently swapped his Cube for a Mac mini, which is ok, as that seems like a logical progression. This shot also features a Powerbook on a stand, an iWork '05 installer CD, a cool OS X mousepad and an (empty?) bag of fruit snacks. It would seem that a number of TUAW readers like to snack while they're at their Macs."My now old set-up with fruit snack goodness" by mrgaskell.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Mind the Mac, Chewie
Last week we posted a rig that prompted reader minty95 to comment, "Loving the rig pictures, but hey guys, what's with being so tidy? How about a few messy desks over the next few days..." Ask and you shall receive.Today's rig comes from narcofiche, and features (among other things) a 20" Cinema Display, a dual 2.0 Power Mac G5, a silver iPod mini, a plastic Chewbacca head, some Ben & Jerry's (I prefer Chunky Monkey, myself) and...well, we're sure there's a mouse and keyboard in there somewhere. This snapshot takes me back to my college days. Ah, youth."messy desk" posted by narcofiche.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Drool
Today's rig of the day has us drooling. This shot by Flickr user The Real Dexta features two 30" cinema displays, an iSight, a 15" Powerbook, a 1TB LaCie RAID (yikes), a dualie 2.7 G5...and an iPod sock. It's the sock that puts it over the edge for me (mostly because I still use my grey one, too). There are more goodies buried in there, click around the plethora of notes to see what you can find."dexta_computers" posted by the real dexta.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Intel meets StrongARM
With both the Macworld Expo and the Worldwide Newton Conference wrapping up ealier this month, I thought this shot was entirely appropriate. An Intel-powered MacBook Pro and its remote flank a Newton 2100. It's nice to see these distant cousins getting along so well. I've often jokingly said that my own 2100 is "...the size of a baby dolphin," and seeing this one in relation to the Apple remote only confirms its size (hint: get a lot of cargo pants)."Intel & StrongARM" by "Splorp"If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Typical desk
I love this shot because it looks a lot like my own desk: Mac, Coke, iPod, external hard drive, books, random junk...ahh. I'm feeling productive already. I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one who has powered speakers sitting around and doing nothing."iBook at Work" posted by migroveruk.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: The collector
Now, I collect Macs and other Apple goodies, but Flickr user mactarkus has got me beat. Check out the iMacs (is that a flower power in the foreground?), All in One, compact Macs, Mac TV...even a Twentieth Anniversary Mac, which, for me, is the Holy Grail. Two great posters wrap up the collection."Macintosh Fever" posted by "mactarkus"If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day: Siblings
Now here's a person after my own heart. Flickr user bushwood's snapshot features a G5 Power Mac, an original Macintosh, an iPod and a print of the old "Picasso" illustration. I especially like that the original Mac is still running. It's nice to respect your elders."macs" posted by bushwood.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.

Rig of the Day - Livin' Large
Today's TUAW Rig of the Day entry (the inaugural entry, at that) is Flickr user visualseed's killer multi-display set up. We're talking about three 30" Cinema Displays, one smaller display, a Powerbook and a DV camera with three lenses, each the size of my leg. A G5 sits in the corner, as well as an iSight, a tablet and...what's that...a Dell?!? We'll just let that slide. I guess a pro photographer needs to diversify."Mac set up and more" uploaded by VisualSeed.If you'd like to see your own rig featured here, simply upload photos into our group Flickr pool.
