AKG K701. Nice!

Haha wow, and the Maverick Audio dac/amp. Looks like we have the same headphone setup.

Heh, never heard of anyone else having the Maverick Audio DAC outside of head-fi, but it's awesome value for money considering how much it does. I've been using that headphone setup for years and it's great.
I've been really tempted by the AKG K550's recently though. they're just so pretty.
 
OMG, you might have fixed my space problem for a second monitor. My computer sits to my right on the desk and the only place for me to put a screen is to the left of it, but that wouldn't be very good because it would block my view of the door.

If I put the computer BEHIND the first monitor, I can totally put another one tilted on the right, and it would be perfect!

Haha glad I could help, had the same problem myself for a while.


Do mods not see ads or something?

Now lets not comment on the little red logo in his address bar.
 
temps are decent. the GTX 560 hits about 60C when gaming, but all the heat is being pushed straight out the side of the case.

I built a SFF specifically for LAN, as I go to the iSeries events over here in the UK several times a year. With this, I can fit my pc, monitor (the dell, I wouldn't take the 27" korean one), sleeping bag and clothes in one suitcase!

My only regret with this build is I cheaped out on the motherboard. Got a fairly basic Asrock one that I discovered can't overclock whatsoever. I'll upgrade it at some point as I'm sure it's bottlenecking the whole system, but decent Mini-ITX boards are pretty hard to find.

I think Zotac do some pretty decent boards that can overclock... might look into the whole thing myself!

Old pic but if you guys got two monitors get that shit up and off your desk.

Yea posted after going through first two pages. High five triple monitor arm guy above me!

Be sure to take care of the wires though

The home office (work from home full time) quoted for size:



Love the triple monitor...now if I could only get 6 monitors....

Fantastically clean. I'd look into getting bigger 27" or 30" 1440p/1600p monitors before just getting more smaller ones. Becomes too much of a hassle managing everything with more than 3.

Cable management is coming, its complex with all my crap I have, to the right are the Swans M12

I also need to get a desk that isnt a veneer over MDF and get some real wood all classy and what nots. Anyone know where to get really great desks?
 
Fine.


Don't laugh at my tiny speakers. I would buy better ones, but I would need to buy a bigger desk first. I got nice headphones though.

My kitten mouse pad is pretty dope tbh.

My wife has a small computer table, but she winds up just using her laptop on the couch:

How do some people who are technology inclined, can deal with only a laptop?

I know I can do 90% of my time with a laptop, but sometimes you just want to sit at your desk with a much bigger monitor and lean back.
 
Well of course, you didn´t even offer her a chair to sit on! :p

LOL, there's chairs off to the left side not in the picture...she prefers the couch. :P

At our last place, my father gave her this expensive iMac desk to use. I had this 25.5" monitor that fit on it perfectly. Hooked up her MacBook to it with a keyboard and mouse. She ended up just using the laptop and touchpad and never turned the monitor on! Thinking about just getting her a tablet since she rarely does anything more than check Email and watch streaming videos...

Kind of amazing how small it looks here, that's a 27" iMac.[/QUOTE]

Nice use of those sticks to parallel your wiring :lol

The only way I could ever do a standing desk is if it was adjustable with monitor arms and a kb/m tray.

Yeah. I've considered finding some kind of paper 'blinds' to hang down off the bottom at least halfway... it would obscure all that and make it look cleaner... haven't done it yet though.

The left monitor (attached to the mini) is on an adjustable arm. I like the mode where the keyboard is right on the desk though. This is the right height to have my arms at 90º.

I will say the standing desks are great for when you need to get under there to mess with cords.

I knew I had posted in this thread before, but I didn't know it was page 1! Some flee-market keyboards added to the collection, but otherwise it's pretty much still this. My kitty is all grown up, though:

And my other kitty!

great setup, saw this posted on the macrumors forums also. I'm working on a new myself and I'm trying to figure out ways to hide all the charging wires (Macbook, ipad, iphone, vita, 3dsXL)
 
Well, it's a mess. But here it is.
If I cleaned it it wouldn't be representative of how it usually looks anyway. :P

The laptop is used basically as a stationary computer, so everything there is hooked up to it. Monitor, mouse, keyboard, USB DAC etc.

And am I the only one on GAF still using a CRT monitor? Didn't see any others in this thread. It might not look like it because I used a flash, but that monitor is fucking awesome. Great colors and black levels, and a 2048x1536@75hz resolution. Easily the best monitor I've used. The only problem is just that it's friggin' huge. Oh and the keyboard (not the one behind the monitor) sits on top of the stationary computer/server under the desk if you're wondering, because obviously I can't put it on the actual desk right now. I have it in my lap when I'm using it.

Also I noticed that a lot of the messy desktop pictures in this thread has an ashtray on the desk. Is it just smokers that are messy in general? :P
 
Fine.

The Coors Light is actually the most laughable thing in that picture.
