Christmas 2011 I acquired my first mac, a Mid-2011 21.5" iMac. Having owned an iPad for a year the iMac was a joy to use. Video Editing, Graphic Design, Photo Editing and Light gaming were all done not this computer and it was a monster compared to my old DELL Vaio. It sat upon an old pine desk, it was fine but it felt extremely out of place. This computer deserved a better supporting structure to sit upon.

Last January I bought my first ever MacBook, a 13" Retina MacBook Pro. Being based on PCIE flash storage it was faster compared to my iMac by a drastic amount. It replaced my iMac for a majority of my work; Word Processing, Video editing, Graphic Design and photo work. The beautiful screen made all of these tasks a joy to do. So my iMac sat there redundant on the desk.

Since then I've bought a new desk and it compliments the iMac perfectly. My workload is now equally shared between both my iMac and my MacBook. The speakers on my iMac are in constant use playing music since they sound great. Below see photos of my new desk and the items that sit upon it:

I wanted to keep my desk extremely simple to improve my workflow, since I'm constantly dealing with large A3 pieces of paper. The Blue Yeti stays on my desk normally disconnected until i need to use it for whatever reason. The desk looks even better when the room's lights are turned off thanks to an LED strip adhered to the back of the desk:

Isn't it astounding how great a £15 strip of LED's can make a desk look...
