Recently, I wall mounted my monitor. The first thing I noticed was the freed up space on my desktop, and likewise the wire from my keyboard... getting in the way of my Zen setup. I've already been using a wireless mouse, but not a wireless keyboard.

I'm loving it! :)

Laptops here, all wireless.
My dad has a similar setup as that Butch. Looks nice.
 
My desk has a sliding keyboard tray underneath the desktop, so my keyboard and mouse cords are not on the desk at all. My monitor is on a raised shelf at the back of the desk so the screen is at eye level and the speakers tuck under the raised shelf.

I had a wireless mouse for a while but it had issues. I trashed it and replaced it with a corded laser mouse, much better IMO.

Next upgrade/addition will be a laptop, but I think I'll hold out until Vista gets replaced (supposedly Windows 7 is due out in early 2010).

Looks great Butch.. I have both wires and wire less here in our network. I am old school and prefer wires. Some of that is about batteries (ie:wireless mouse or keys). Some things I would think I would like wireless if no batteries were needed. Like my wireless connection , but I am also hard wired, I just need to fix the wire (got crimped or something under the house). I assume the monitor does not need them..
We are also looking at wireless on the TV from the puter network for movies.

At first I was leery of battery usage, but those suckers seem to last forever!
 
Wireless keyboard and mouse here. Plus several wireless laptops among the household.
 
Right now I'm weird. :|: I'll convert to a wireless set up some day.
















And yes, I know. I spelled it that way for a reason...
 
wireless keyboard and mouse here, LOVE IT.

The other night I was showing my wife a bunch of pictures and she kept saying (while pointing from afar) "show me that one, no the other one!" So I tossed her the mouse. from the kitchen table about 8 feet away she used it and brought up the one she wanted. Handy eh?

I get about 3 months from the two AAA batts in the keyboard and about 6 to 7 weeks for the two AA batts in the mouse, one note, dont get verklempt when you get the 'batteries are critical' warning, you have a few days to deal with it usually. I go till the mouse simply doesnt respond any longer.

Warnings? I don't get any warnings, the cursor just starts getting a mind of it's own.

One thing that sucked with this keyboard was the mouse they forced me to buy. It doesn't have any back/front buttons and I have to use the transmitter provided to make the keyboard work. Now I have TWO fricking transmitters, so I could keep my own mouse.
 
I have the Logitech keyboard and mouse, came with a little CD of utility software (called Setpoint). Keeps a monitor on battery strength and such.

can that be setup with a laptop also -= like put the laptop in the draw and let it act like a pc?

i would LOVE a big screen so I can see

I do have a wireless mouse - that is great.

hmm - maybe ask the employer - ya think ibm can do something for me
 
I like how it feels on my skin :P

I would think with Bluetooth you could rig up just about anything without wires.
 
I've have laptops wireless two mac 1 pc , 1 desktop wireless mac mini & on tower mac g4 wire with no key boar, mouse or monitor. I control it with my mac book pro.
the tower is used to down lowed bet torrents.( I love down loading tv shows i've not seen.)
 
Nice floating monitor, I agree with Jerry way to neat of a Desk. Wires on the desks, and wireless on the laps. had a wireless mouse but I too hate Batteries
 
Strictly laptop here. The only wires I have are the power cords for things. Even my printer is wireless and battery powered.
