    I forgot to post a pic of my dog...~ 13 month old German Shepperd. It gets real hectic around here sometimes :p.

    I'm to greedy to buy a camera (rather buy a second monitor with the money), so I can't take a pic from my set up lol.

    Any NBR' traveling around the world reporters' out there who want to make the pic for me :p ? It would surely replace MTV cribs, how about a name like: NBR Commandcenters (reference to the geek's basement in Die Hard 4).

    Pretty COOL comand center captain :D .Nice attempt to hide the snacks but we can see them :) .I would only add a couple of posters-pictures on the wall(that's personal though)and I would be a little concerned with all these electricals right at my feet.All and all great set up ! ! ! !

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with Triscuits! They're delicious and fairly nutritious (besides the MSG).

    Yeah, I definitely need to get some posters, but I've yet to find any that I can justify spending money on.

    As for the electricals, it's not a big deal since all the cables are to the side. I like having the Kill-a-Watt positioned so that I can see it, too.

    That's a nice, clean setup. I see you removed the battery while on AC? I'd probably get annoyed by the small screen if that was my only machine, though.

    I keep the battery out, did it with my previous Acer 3810t and after a year the battery had lost little capacity.

    The original battery in my Sony T250 died when I did that but as always YMMV.

    Haha! Damn someone noticed my laziness to clean rubbish! :eek:. I will clean them right away (and possibly replace that same image with a clean one :D).

    The Cryo is amazing! But even without the Cryo, Sager's cooling pretty effective by itself. Kinda like, adding extra life to it.

    When downloading at night though, I have to lower the fan speed; I could hear it in my sleep

    Made some adjustments since my last posting, since then I've acquired a PS3 (Didnt' wanna pay for xbox live, and wanted my 5th Blu Ray Player), my First Android Phone a move from Traditional Blackberry and then Custom Built my first very own desktop from scratch (Why did it take this long???) , and even Custom Cutted out the Windows and self Applied Plexi-glass, wow I'm cheap.... running with an i5 and a 5870 and 8 gigs of ram along with a few Raptor Drives thanks to my good friend Kyle :D , which maybe wasn't too great in terms of my custom cut job not the help on hardware but you know whatever... And here's what we get.... I think I need to get a better desk, I did get a new chair though, so we'll get that next :D .

    The cooler was about 60$AUD, and the mousepad was about 15$AUD.

    What Akari said above, that's the same mousepad I've got.

    And darkloki, dayummmm that's a nice setup. How many more screens you gotta get? :D

    Oh and I see some vodka :D

    Heres my setup. It s nowhere near as impressive as some of the ones on here but is does the job for me. Specs for pcs in sig.

    Hopefully the desktop will be getting a GTX 460 and a new PSU when i get the money and hoping to get a PS3 when Gran turismo 5 finally comes out.

    Also the ancient PC under my desk is an old pentium 4 3ghz system with 1.5gb ddr ram which i use to run ubuntu and generally test things out.

    The cabinet at the top with my laptop on was made by me as a A level tech project and the top can be opened to store things in and it has speakers built in for when im watching films.

    The following is not my setup. But check it out anyway. According to the OP, his 3rd 24" Dell is not on because he is still waiting for his DP adapter to come in. So all of you will just have to deal with seeing his work in progress with only Two 24" monitors + Two 1080p projectors...

    I'm building a new desk, lol that's entirely new that old desk for me was getting too cramped, I have to make adjustments on the desk as I've gone ahead and purchased a retractable arm to mount my monitor, I've even picked up my first MacBook, so we'll see. I'll post images once it's ready, I was shocked I got a new chair off of Craigslist for a cheap price.

    darkloki: Nice setup! Im glad Im not the only one who uses their android phone for TV. At this time I cannot afford to buy a proper TV for the office so its all up to my epic 4g since screen real estate is at a premium.

    I still use my cryo too, but I have mine modded heavily. Pretty much the thing isnt mobile at all. I put 3 green LED 90+CFM fans in and I wired them to a desktop so they get all the power they need to run at max. I have been contemplating getting another cooler for portable use. Oh and I cant wait to see the new 'puter setup your going to have.
