The PC Weenies

My base of operations consist of two 6ft by 3ft all-purpose foldable tables. They’re simple, relatively inexpensive, and sturdy.

On the far side of my office space is my erstwhile early 2008 Macbook Pro, flanked by two Apple IIGS units. Above the IIGS on the right is a Thermaltake BlacX SATA drive module (which houses my notebook’s data backup), a D-link 655-DIR router and a Maxtor 500GB drive. Attached to the Macbook Pro is an Apple aluminum keyboard and a Kensington Orbit trackball.

This view shows off some of the wall décor in my studio area.

This workstation area is primarily for my daughter and wife. On the desk is the Brother 2070N network printer (it’s a great workhorse!) and a 20″ Apple Cinema Display. On the far right is a paper cutter that I use for trimming bristol board paper.

I rescued this animation desk from work and it now serves as my art desk.

This is my main rig is an early 2008 Mac Pro. It has 10GB of RAM and includes 4 drives, one which is a 40GB OWC SSD that contains Mac OS X and all my applications. It’s held up well for the 4 years I’ve owned it.

Attached to the Mac Pro are two displays: An HP ZR24W 24″ model and a Hanns-G 19″ model.

An uninterruptible power supply is definitely a good thing to have, when living in the lightning capital of the US. The APC XS1300 has saved my bacon plenty of times.

On my desk is a small form factor Apple aluminum keyboard, Magic Trackpad, Snowball Mic, and a Wacom Intuos4 medium tablet. From time to time, I need the services of a normal mouse, and the Targus Kaleidoscope mouse serves this purpose well.

And lastly… what artist’s studio would be complete without his library?

…or his collection of Hot Wheels cars?

So there you go! I hope you enjoyed your tour. Come back and visit!
