Terribly low res and blur, but I'll get some nicer shots later (as I finally fixed my camera).
There's a PC I build with dual boot on Win7 and Ubuntu and a PowerMac under the table that I can switch the monitors keyboard and mouse to. Acer Aspire One netbook rocking Ubuntu.
 
Headphones area all stored under the left speakers in a compartment, Grado SR-80i cans are on the monitor. 
Using a NAD 7220 powering AR-18 speakers and some AIWAs that are used on occasion. Since taking this photo I've added some TEAC speakers, all switched for different occasions. iPod is docked to the amp. To the right of this setup on another table is a Sony digital sign 42" used as a monitor for a Mac Mini with some JBL creature speakers. And to the side of that a AKAI reel-to-reel hooked up to a Apple //c used for 8-bit recording.

When you get that camera on line show us a pic of the AKAI with the IIc!

Yes the Marantz 2238B was made from 1977 to 1979, mine has brand new lights and it has been cleaned and lubed as needed. It sounds superb both as an speaker amp via the Clements 105di (NOS from circa 1996) or as a headphone out via the 1/4" jack.

It is because of the crazy members at Audiokarma that I picked up a vintage Marantz. I have a vintage Mitsubishi that I need to set-up.

Haha with all the commotion about apple monitors I don't even wanna know what he has to say about mine.

Well you will be happy to hear I think Vizio is great for anyone on a budget or for people don't care about the details some of us do. :)

I've got a Kenwood integrated amplifier of the same vintage, it weighs a ton and had lots of power. It sounded great until a couple of years ago; now it no longer turns on. Assuming that it needs a new power supply, would it be possible or even worth it to fix? I'm not a component level electronics guy by any means, but I could certainly swap out a power supply if I could find an appropriate one and was able to determine that was indeed the problem.

I just recently picked up a Rotel amp for my living room, I must confess the combination of Opus + Rotel + Zu has me completely blown away. It has all the detail of K701s with the "fun-ness"/ PRaT of the Grados (and then some). Dare I say... "I'm done"? Ohhh right, I need a turntable!
 
The living room:
MBP > Airport Express > Opus DAC > Rotel RA-1520 > Zu Druid
                                                    \-> Little Dot MkIII > AKG K701/ Grado SR225

 
In the office:
 
MBP > Airport Express > APPJ PA0902A > Polk R10 
                                 \-> M^3 (Not yet finished) > AKG K701/ Grado SR225

I love the avocado green color scheme, very '70's

Why do a lot of you have your monitors up so high?  As far as comfort/ergonomics goes, the ideal position should be with the top of the monitor @ around eye-level.  Having a monitor up that high imho quite literally seems like a pain in the neck.

I would say yes, if you visit AK you would be able to get help on where or how to fix it. Heck it could be as simple as a bad on/off switch, yes it happened w/ my circa 1985 Adcom GFA555. Good luck.
