Yes, another shack makeover by me.

[wise871]

This week I made some system upgrades around the office. With the changes came a redesign of the desk setup. If you remember my last setup I had built a custom shelf unit to house all my radios. I like it a lot and it was functional. Well now I moved over to a Mac as my primary computer. As you can see the desk now looks less cultured and I can actually work on it. I still have my Windows 7 computer behind me on another desk. So I can program my radios I'm using BootCamp between OSX Lion and Win7 64 so I can still work and program my radios. Only thing I wish I had now were two stands by ScannerStandMan. I wish I had purchased some when he was still making them.

I forgot to add the reason for the change. By trade I am a Windows Base IT Specialist. I live and breath Windows OS all day long and I wanted something different . Since most of the devices I own are Apple the logical step was to move over to OSX. I've been messing around with it for over a week and all I can say is WOW, why did I wait so long. The user interface is a slight learning cure but it is so simple to use and it interfaces with everything I own. Even getting it to talk to my other Windows 7 machines took only a few mouse clicks. If you ever tried to network several windows computers then you know what I'm talking about.

Looks great.

Wow! Very professional looking. I would say architecturally designed!

Well done hiding the wiring.
You have some very nice equipment and the Mac monitor is awesome.

Any antenna pictures?

All my antennas are up in the attic. I'll try and take some pictures later. As far as the wires go, I tried to keep it as clean as possible. I will work the remain few in a couple of days.

what happen to the shelves?

Either way, it still looks great. I love seeing your setup. I can see that Im using some similar equipment as you in general.(apc, router, radios.etc.)
Love the actual design of your desk. Very functional. Wish I had one.

Super super job man! This could easily have been an ugly nightmare of wires but you got that handled.

 

[wise871]

Thanks all. The shelf I made is in a spare closet for now and as far as the wires go, I went through some zip-ties and double sided velcro strips.

What type stands are they? The three row ones by ScannerMan or the ones from Scanner Master. I'm not a fan of the ones from Scanner Master. To much metal. I rather leave them stacked which seems to work best. There very sturdy this way.

I did make one adjustment today. I put the HP-1 in the center for easy access and now the side radios are uniformed.

Also here is the antenna pic.

Yes its a Scanner Stand model, I got it with a couple of scanners I bought and just never use it
