    Lol, so do I. I would buy another monitor with the $600 I have now, but that's going towards a Clevo laptop.

    Well, here is my current setup, not much, and pretty dodgy but, oh well. Oh BTW, my desk is in a really bad positon like this:

    ________________________
    | |
    | Desk |
    | |
    |_______________________|
    ME SIT IN HERE.
    _________________________Wall!
    Like seriously, I put it in a bad position, so, maybe a video will do better? Who knows, anyways, here is my desk,,,,,for now...

    19" eMachines LCD (1440x900)
    Logitech cheap USB-powered speakers
    Dell PS2 keyboard
    Logitech USB optical mouse
    big silver mesh thingie full of crap

    I also have an old Dell GX260 (P4 1.8) sitting against the wall, has 2000SP4 on it now but I'm trying to put Puppy Linux on it, dual boot, and get the wireless adapter working with it. My desktop replacement laptop (Acer Extensa 5230E upgraded to PDC T4300) is nestled snugly in the keyboard tray out of sight.

    You will also see the only two ties I still own (toddlers destroyed the rest), a Steelers hat, my last pair of sunglasses, and the mess under the desk, including two Dr Pepper cases being used for trash cans, a cassette case, a CD case, an eMachines D620 laptop, a case of screwdriver bits, a cordless drill case, and a tub of baby wipes. The glowing blue/black thing to the left of the desk is a Camel SNUS fridge that chills 10 cans of Dr Pepper at once.

    I didn't even know that this thread existed until a few min ago.. Very nice setups.

    Well you cant see all the computers that I have running all the time. I have 6 that are constantly on. You can see my primary systems and web/file server in this picture.

    The bottom monitor is a Samsung LED XL2370.

    Agreed its very strange, although it is an old samsung d500, i cant blame it :p. And the shadows from the lighting can make it seem off too.

    It's pretty cool, I wasn't really sure what to expect but I like it a lot so far. I'm kind of sad they removed the scroll wheel from the picturebook series but it's okay without it I guess. I love how small and light it is though and the screen is amazing.

    Kilthro, nice setup, looks a little cramped though? Do you use that desk to do work on as well? ie. folders, papers etc.?

    Catclysm, nice clean setup there, I think the wonky effect may possibly be due to a little distortion in the lens. Still looks fine to me!

    Haha yeah, when i hide the wires i'll check the angles etc again, and take a picture with a camera not a phone lol.

    I think the only wonky thing may be the logitech x530's wall mounted speakers, which i didnt accurately measure :S lol.

    Might upgrade to a pair of z2300s as im not really using the surround abilitys right now, nor do i have 5.1 channel support.

    you remind me of my buddy in germany he was more obsessed with tails than a girl with barbies. This was back in 95-97. He had Sega and Sega CD wanted to buy Sega Saturn but that was way too much! Believe his name was Dominick, or maybe that was his bros name. He also loved PIGS, especially PUMBA. Either way thanks for striking a childhood memory.

    Love it! I'm a huge HP fan, I use a dc7900 small form factor machine at work with 2 L1950g monitors and a 2530p for a work laptop. Really digging the whole HP setup, as you can see from my sig. Are youplaning on getting another adjustable stand for the other monitor? I know it'd annoy me if I didn't.

    Yeah. Right now I have an HP L2245wg and a Samsung 2220WM. The HP monitor's base is huge and doesn't exactly line up with the samsung, so eventually I do want to replace the Samsung with another L2245wg.

    But I agree with you, I love having all HP machines. :D

    Looks like the last LAN night I attended...

    Seriously though, ?! How can anyone let their place get to that state?! I honestly hope that person owns the house (doubtful), think of the poor landlord, who probably has no idea his house looks like the arse end of the world.
