I just got my first desktop in 6 years. I went a little crazy. It's hard to gauge monitor size when you're used to a 15" screen.
 
Don't mind the Bose, nothing bigger would even fit. They ain't half bad either.

Not to sound mean or anything but doesn't the new Mac look like a trashcan?  Nice setup by the way

Indeed, it is the Mac Pro Trashcan Edition. Best looking trashcan I've ever seen though.
 
Honestly I thin kit's a beautiful design, compact (you really have to see it in person to get a proper perspective), and solid. 
 
The computer is aluminum with an aluminum outer case, the monitors have glass fronts with aluminum backs. It all feels well made and looks good. That is important for me, not for everyone but between that and OS X it works for me.

Here's one of my computer rigs.  This is what I carry with me when I travel.  
 
Raspberry Pi
Squeezeplug distribution
HiFiMEDIY USB Sabre DAC
Sony MDR-V6
 
Plug it in next to the bed......sounds great.   Hey I have computer audio at home, why not on the road?

Love this, do you remote to it to control it? I imagine if you have a battery, you could run this while you move too.
 
 
   
That is more on par with how mine is. Everything you need is within arms reach and its practical. Things aren't tucked away to look "nice"

Pretty much how my setup is too, there is a part of it that you can call neat, then the rest is (sadly) a jumble of wires paper, zipties, and whatever I use to most. It gets worse when the second desktop gets put to use, in parallel with the main rig... two sets of keyboards and mice on one desk... Pictures... soon?

Correct.  I use either a web browser on another computer to control it or an Android or iPhone app.  You could run it from a battery pack or a car charger.  I never have done that.
 
And I have a proper headphone amp as well, a Fiio E12DIY.  When I really want to rock I'll slip that in the chain.

Those new Mac Pros look almost like high grade aluminum trash cans :D

  Can we dispense with the Mac Pro to trash can cliche already?

I definitely did not look at the above posts.. I remember looking at the Sweetwater catalog and thought the same thing
