Keep your eye on the monitor temps for a while. That sucker will cook you. I have an app I use. I'll post a linky tomorrow.
I ditched the the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Mine were such a pita that I almost tossed them across the room.
Have fun.




Joe

The mouse is OK to use. I can't find anything nice to say about the keyboard. If I wanted a freakin' laptop Apple I would have bought one! Buying batteries for both sucks too.

Yep, that's the one. I could fry bacon on the top of this thing. Mmmm, bacon.  :homer:

That's far too clean for a work desk.

You'll get used to the keyboard. I type like a retard on anything but those keyboards now. The number pad thing sucks but they do have USB attachment number pads you can buy if it's something you use a lot.

The BT mouse kept losing connection. IDK if other BT devices around made it crazy or what. Waking up from sleep was a big issue, I do remember that.

Logitech mice are on all of the workstations and I just prefer them over the single button.

I LOVE my work station right now. :kiss:
I got the baby swing right next to it. This work from home thing rocks.

I went back to my large wired keyboard. I suppose I would have gotten used to it but I didn't want to.

No issues with wake up or bluetooth disconnects either on the Mountain Lion machine at home or the Lion machines at work. Also the mouse and keyboard goes turns off on their own after inactivity. You don't have to put the mac to sleep for the bluetooth devices to turn off.

Ummm skryber, what is the desktop background on the computer on the right?

If that's the backyard no wonder working from home rocks.
