Heres my desk set up. Right now im running off my laptop (sorry, no rig 

 ), but im hoping to build an actual computer this summer.  And sorry for the distortion, I had to shoot this with my family's 7 year old point and shoot since my brother lost our better camera.  
 
Some of you may ask why I have clothes hanging over my desk, and that is because I put a desk in my closet and turned it into a work area.
 
anyways, to the audio: computer(usb)/ xbox 360(optical) > emu 0404 > rokit 6g2's/ M50's
 
Not pictured is my emu 0404 usb off to the right.

 

for a 7 year old camera that's a really good picture. on my monitor it's actually clear as a crystal. i also like the little set-up you have as well.

@ aBathingGrape - where is that stand from that you have your monitor and speakers standing on?

I'd like to know this as well. It'd suit my desk nicely.

I actually got the idea from this thread and another ikea desk thread on hardforum. I took an ikea ekby jarpen shelf and attached 4" capita legs to the bottom
 
shelf board: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20025047
          this comes in a bunch of colors and ikea has another shelf that is solid wood rather than particle board, however it is a
          little thinner and i was worried about the screws for the leg mounting plates being too long and poking through.
 
legs: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20054563 >> ikea also has 6" and 8" legs in addition to the 4". These are in
          the kitchen section (this would have saved me a good amount of time searching had i known this before I went to the
          store)
 
making it is as easy as screwing the mounting plates for the legs onto the bottom of the shelf, and then screwing the legs on.
 
edit: found that hardforum post http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036336385&postcount=1599
       ...and another potentially useful link for those considering making this shelf: http://www.ikeahackers.net/2010/09/monitor-and-speaker-desk-platform.html

Thank you. It took a lot of playing around with the aperture and shutter speeds to find what worked and a countless number of failed attempts.  And I just cant figure out why the camera has a sort of fisheye-ish effect on all the pictures that it takes...it bothers me. haha

Heheh I see a Coolermaster 212 HSF there in the last photo awesome heatsink for the price. I just got one for my new sandy bridge rig.

Exactly my sentiments - but I am not knocking the room at all. I quite like it....and being a diehard OTC fan - I would be very happy with the room (even minus the womp rats)...

i know man lol. it's cool. i was playing as well. but man during the summer womb rats get crazy. i need to make sure my sling shot is always loaded.

I'm surprised I didn't see a jedi training seeker in there - or at the very least - an OIL BATH for your mechanical devices...

Barrel Distortion is quite common with wide angle lenses. Not sure what you lens is, but this can be corrected in Photoshop or other specialty software.

Sweet, thanks! Had a feeling it was an Ikea Hack, now it'll go very nicely with my Jonas.

ahhh thank you. i took a look at the cameras manual and apparently when the camera is zoomed all the way out, the lens is in its wide angle position

Nice setup

 
Where did you get that foot rest.  That's just the thing I looking for for my computer.
 

 

[ninjikiran]

I have tried many foot rest but this is by fart the best I have EVER used.  It is wide enough to allow ya to be comfy and relaxed, heavy and sturdy and the top peice moves around allowing you  adjust angle on the fly
