Just thought I'd contribute my own desktop, seeing as I've finally just about finished setting everything up the way I want it.  I guess a little explanation of all the things might be in order: A Nokia 6300 functioning as SMS gateway, 2x Asus VW222, a set of Creative Inspire 7300, a Early-2010 model MacBook Pro, Seagate external harddrive, Wacom Volito2, and underneath the desktop in the left side is the case containing a C2D E6550 running at 2,53GHz, with 4GB of DDR2 dual-channel liner-mode memory, a nVidia GeForce GTX260, a Hauppauge HVR-1300, a Asus Xonar D2X and an Intel X-25M 80GB MLC SSD (connected to a JMicron RAID controller which ensures backup to an eSATA disc (not pictured) plus 4 2TB WDC Caviar Green 5400RPM running on the motherboards other RAID controller on the southbridge of the motherboard which is an Asus P5KC.

Tab8715 posted:Where'd you get the desk? That'd be a perfect setup with some monitor arms mounted to the top section. I know, I just have yet to find the perfect pair of monitor arms for a price I'm willing to pay. The table is bought at a (originally) Danish company called Jysk - they do furniture and stuff for outfitting ones bedroom/workroom/house.

Randuin posted:They are, M-Audio BX-8's I just sold a whole set of 2x Studiophile BX8a Deluxe, 1x M-Audio EX66 Reference Monitor and a SBX10 since I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I got them for free basically for the taking, since the radio station that used them was closing down and I'd been doing a lot of DJ work and plenty of other things (among other things, setting everything they had up when they started out). However, they're simply too big for my room/desk and the Creative Inspire T7300 that I have have good enough sound for my audiophile needs (and if not, I have my trusty HD650). Tab8715 posted:Don't buy the cheap monitor arms, if you want one, you're going to have to shell out for an Egotron. The rest just have too much give, at least for my 2001wfp. I had an offer from a friend who saw this thread, he says that if I can provide him with the specs he'll build and paint a custom setup for me - so that's probably what I'm going to end up doing, since I know I can get a decent price from him (basically just materials) and I can get exactly what I want. Martytoof posted:Sorry I didn't mean to come across condescending. Don't worry, didn't take it as such. In other news, I'm in talks with a friend who's good at wood-working and such to make a new desk for me based on a design that a friend of mine has drawn out. Here's a bit of concept art:

identikit posted:Looks good. Although make the shelf for the monitors wider. You never know if you might upgrade to bigger side screens. Yeah, I have considered that - but it's not yet a given that it's going to be made - however, I think with the monitor arms (I'm thinking of getting made one that can handle up to six monitors), it shouldn't be a problem.
