Just my dorm room area. Nothing special, but I like it.

Dual monitor GAF without matching monitors: HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?!

I didn't pay for any of my monitors, and don't pay for most all of my electronics (consumer or enterprise grade).

My work does, so I don't complain.

The one turned off was only because I didn't have an active DP adapter yet to enable eyefinity, thats resolved
 
Extra monitor not doing anything. Might as well use it.

Exactly. I bought a new monitor but golly it seemed a real shame to not keep using the old one in some capacity. To that end:

When sitting at the desk, the TV occupies the visual space between the two monitors. I honestly don't know what I'll do with myself when we get a proper house and I have a computer room, and don't have the TV in front of me all the time.
 
I love these threads. Anyways, here's a cruddy picture:

Workin on a doodle in Photoshop. You may notice a small light shining below the bottom left side of my keyboard. That's where the Wacom tablet is underneath the table. I took it apart some time ago and mounted the circuit board to the bottom of the glass. This way I can draw directly on the table, and not only do I not have to have a huge tablet in my way, I don't have to deal with that shitty plastic texture on the tablet. Digital drawing on glass > all else.

Oh yeah, there's a Hori arcade stick in the picture, and a reference book for said doodle - ahem. Now I really need to do something about that blank wall space.
 
Pretty empty on my desk right now, I had the computer up on it a couple of days ago.

This is how it looked before.

I need a second monitor. :(

My all around work and play set-up. 22" Samsung monitor running from my 13" MBP, Hi-Fi separate system with Cambridge Audio amp and Mission speakers. Not pictured is my PS3 which won't hook up to my monitor :( That's the only reason my Xbox is there at all. The birthday cards aren't a staple feature ;)

What's up with that ketchup mang?
 
Oh man, I really want to know so much more about The Chamber/wankatorium. Will post some pics of my desk when I am working from home Friday and can take pics with natural light.
 
I must know which keyboard that is and how much!

OT: awesome set up!

I'm assuming you aren't talking about the stock Apple keyboard=P

The little one on the desk is just an M-Audio Axiom 25. You can see the keys from an M-Audio Prokeys 88 on the left. I don't use either of them that much, that's why they were relegated from the audio room into my video/photo room. They are pretty nice considering how cheap they are if you only need midi-controllers, the onboard instruments aren't that great.





Since everyone seems to be digging the multi-monitor setups, here's where I spend the other 40% of my computing time...

That sounds awesome. So, is the entire glass surface the drawing area, or just a small area the size of the surface on the tablet originally? And how difficult was it to do this?

You've given me an idea for a future project.

Got damn.

The active area doesn't change (there is no way that it could extend beyond the hardware anyways). So it's the same as a Large Intuos, which is about 13" x 8" or so. If a large Intuos is enough space for you then it's just fine. It essentially gets it out of the way, and provides a much better surface for drawing on IMO. But if you do this I'm pretty sure you void your warranty.

I uploaded a video of it here: http://vimeo.com/24248969

Ahhh that's a fantastic idea. I might have to keep that stored in the back of my head
 
Do I win the messiest desk award?

(Quoted for resize)

Random shit on my desk: This morning's coffee, 2 nights of beer, random soft drinks, expired calendar being used for mousepad, torch, USB guitar interface, bunch of music DVDs, random gaming controllers, 3DS & game cases, Dell 23" screen, TV with news on, PS3 and 360 under desk. Oh, and a bunch of paper rubbish that I CBF sorting.
