    You forgot to mention the bowl. Obviously it's what brings the whole setup together.

    Heh, the "asian bowl" isn't quite the same as the one from 2009... I'd say the only things that have remained the same are my desk, mousepad, speakers... and my CRT monitor.

    Wireless keyboard but wired mouse? That's a strange combo.

    Otherwise, nice and clean computer desk.

    Strange but it works very well for me. I just love the G500 and its superquick response, also I'm using the largest Taito for gaming but it sleeps usually in a drawer under the notebook.

    As for the monitor stand, I don't use it anymore. I put back the monitor on the table and tilt it a bit.

    What Dell tower is that?

    It looks like one of their workstations, but I cannot read the model # from the pic. I love their workstations of that style. Have one myself with dual xeons. It's a beast.

    This was my setup, but it's all being parted out right now for a Laptop. Except the screens. Those will stay for docking. Reason I'm going to a laptop for now is we have our first baby on the way, and want something a little more mobile so I'm not stuck upstairs.

    This is the newer case with the newer build (2x290s)

    CPU is not overclocked. Just use Throttlestop to fix it at max boost. Using Afterburner for the GPU. Temps never go above 70°C.

    I was going to post a picture of my current LAN setup (which will be rearranged once my furniture arrives), but realized my cameras have not arrived yet, either :(. So I shall have to describe it.

    In lieu of the not-yet-arrived desk, I have two card tables, the one to the right being a well-used first-half-of-the-20th century one, and the one on the left being an inexpensive Wal-Mart one. The older one if my main one currently, mainly because it's closer to the router and thus by putting my Antec desktop to the right of it, the Ethernet cable reaches easily. On this medium-brown card table is a U2412M monitor, two inexpensive Logitech speakers, a Gigabyte mouse, and a Microsoft wired keyboard. All the computer components are black. A copy of Age of Empires III in the original 2005 packaging is resting on the table as well.

    The other table has a 16" CRT on the right side, and my laptop on the left side, connected via VGA. While the CRT and laptop fit the black color scheme, the VGA cable itself is light gray, and as it's permanently attached to the CRT, the only remedy would be paint.

    The backdrop is a red brick wall, from floor to ceiling. Sitting at the desktop, a window to the right provides light.

    I'm hoping to move more towards the general direction of CurrentlyPissed's setup once I get my furniture.

    Glad I bought it. Best decision I made about a new machine in a long time. Also the battery runtime is about 11-12 hours. (power saving-silent mode)

    My new table top will arrive tomorrow, so I will post a setup picture then.

    Really like the cockpit, I have a G27 that has been laying around unused ever since I moved to the apartment with my GF because I do not have a place to mount it anymore.

    My old desk was bolted to the wall so the desk itself worked as a mount point.

    Did you go full DIY for that, or was there some base plans/blueprints that you followed?

    As for the G27 I do not like it, I would say not worth the upgrade over the G25 I would go with one of the belt driven wheels rather than gear driven. Games like Dirt with lots of feedback just sound and feel terrible on this wheel.

    Since my actual camera was dead, I'll retake the photo later once I'm done charging the batteries, top right monitor has been moved down a bit since as well and I'll shoot another pic of my other room. Before anyone asks all monitors ( with the exception to the laptop screen ) are on my main comp.

    Ummm... I still have 2 CRTs. One is a 21" Sun monitor with a Trinitron tube.

    I use them for my old gaming rigs that I power up every 2-3 years.
