I recently took some pictures of my Mac in the dark with the only source of illumination being the blue lights of the hard disks, the red lights of the optical mouse and the green lights of my adsl modem. I was really surprised by the results.

This picture takes in my whole desk. From left to right you can see a firewire hard disk, a USB hard disk, a 23″ Cinema display, an optical mouse, an ADSL modem, a Linksys NSLU2 and a network switch. The case of the Apple G5 is not visible as it is stashed to the left of the desk to save space.

And here is a close up of the left side of the first picture. From left to right you can see the firewire hard disk, the USB 2.0 hard disk, an Apple keyboard and an Apple 23″ Cinema display.
