My New Office + My New Mac Pro!

January 23rd, 2008 by Amit

I’ve thought about getting an office space outside of my home for a long time now, and I finally decided against it. Instead I choose to turn my home office into a REAL office.

In the past two months I’ve spend literally thousands on totally transforming my home office. Everything in my home office was either moved to storage or outright trashed and replace with really slick solid cherry wood furniture.

Here’s me at my old desk:

Now, check it out, here’s my new desk with my NEW Mac Pro (I’ll talk about this baby in a second!):

Here’s some cherry wood bookshelves, that are also apart of the office :

Now after totally revamping my office, I decided, what the heck, I might as well buy some new computer as well. Besides I was getting frustrated running a multimillion dollar business off of a small laptop.

So I went all the way, I bought a top of the line completely souped up Mac Pro with 8 processors and 10 GB of RAM, YES, 10 GB of RAM! :) I got Shilpi an iMac with 4GB of RAM.

Check it out…

We also bought a high end Brother networking printer as well…

I actually hired a Mac consultation to configure and network all our computers and printer plus setup Parallels, which is a really neat program that allows you to run Windows on your Mac. It’s SO COOL, thanks to Parallels I can now run the 2 or 3 Windows only programs that I need on my Mac seamlessly!

It hard to really put in words how cool and how fast my Mac Pro is with the new OS X Leapord operating system, other than that it’s blazing fast with graphics and features that would blown your mind!

Now a lot of you may be asking : “Amit, why did you spend over $10k totally revamping your office and buying new computers??”

It’s all about mindset!

The environment that you create around you effects your attitude, your mental focus, and your productivity. I can’t tell you how many times I felt frustrated & stressed out working off a laptop on a tiny adjustable table.

With my new office, new desk, and new computer, I feel I can conquer any challenge!

It’s an amazing feeling.

And YES my productivity and mental focus has really improved with the new office environment, not to mention the fact I just LOVE working on my new Mac.

It’s so COOL :)

    I’ll miss seeing the picture of the jet on your desktop, buddy!

    Maybe replace it with an Airbus A380!

    Nice office!

    I agree with Tim, 2 screens is a must to increase productivity.

    Tell me, when away from home, do you have access to your PC and, if so, what software / hardware set up have you organised?

    OK. Very cool. But, my wife happen to look over my shoulder and ask what I was looking at. When I told her some cool technology set up she said to me….”No, No, whose Wayne Coating is that? It’s exactly what I want”

    Great Amit! Now you’ve made my life harder:)

    My compliments to your wife. After further review I agree with my wife. The finish and color is the room is first class. Cheers!

    Looks beautiful. I love those bookshelves…Out of curiosity what books do you keep close to you in the office?

    Get yourself dual 30″ cinema displays… ;o) That’s what I have and it is soo much cooler than just one monitor. Beside the coolnessfactor, when you have a mac pro with 10GB RAM, you NEED two monitors… It’s a scientifically proven fact, you can’t have just one monitor with this setup man! :D

    Come on Amit, buy that second screen. My Apple stock went from $200 per share two weeks ago to $139 today. Maybe you should get Shilpy a new iPod too!

    No, really, the office looks good.

    Hey buddy,
    I think you should do a follow up post about how your Mac is so fast that people have created discussion threads and are talking about it on Mac forums…….

    :)

    So now you’re going to be speaking at Mac World next…?

    I’d give anything for a complete list of the titles in your library.

    Most people are awestricken by tools. It’s not the tools you use that makes you successful, it’s the thoughts you have.

    Those thoughts are framed and formed by your knowledge and experience.

    Would you share a bibliography, Amit?

    It might be the most valuable thing you can offer to your readers. A true gift beyond price.

    -Mike
