New IKEA Spotlights

New IKEA Spotlights by Matt Brett.
Installed a couple IKEA spotlights on the underside of the bottom shelf. Lights up my desktop beautifully. I'm all about having a clean, bright workspace and these really helped.

To pre-empt a bunch of questions from people coming from the 10 beautiful iMac setups worth a look (pics) article, here's a run-down of what everything is...

iMac: 24" 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, 3GB RAM
Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech S 530 Laser for Mac
Speakers: Logitech Z-4i
HDD Enclosure: NewerTech miniStack v2
Xbox 360 Capture: Elgato EyeTV Hybrid
Desk: IKEA Jerker with birch finish

Looks better and better each time Matt, although why is your iMac so close to the front of the desk? If it was me I'd have it almost all the way back.

Hah, yeah I do sit close. Need to when I'm designing, but have basically adopted the habit for all time computer use. When I'm "being social", I at least lean back in my chair. But while I'm working, I'm right up in that shit.

Ooh, this looks really nice :).

Btw, I'm thinking of buying a Mac. But they are all so expensive. What specs do you recommend?

@Alexander Radsby: expensive compared to what? a DIY PC? If you're serious, and depending what you need, take a look at the macbook or macbook pro - portability + power in one.

Great looking rig! The old Jerker was really a great desk. I'll hopefully be picking one up shortly.

Very cool setup. Is this an IKEA desk as well? If so, what model?
