those monitors are awfully large and close to your chair... reminds me of something.

does your chair slide back this far too?
 
Nice to see a clean looking turntable like that. Oh just looked it up .. wow . I keep forgetting companies make other things besides headphones.

Lol, I sometimes have to push my chair that far back to get the right imaging, but I've got monitor stands in my future (when I am able to afford more space for my set up lol). Thanks! It's just a copy of the Technics I wish I could afford =D

Haha, my girlfriend digs coke so it's pretty much everywhere around the apt. Those are the 8s, good eye! I've considered the 10s, but for now (up against a wall) the 8s put out plenty of bass. Perhaps when I get some monitor stands and set my room up correctly I'll consider the sub.

haha the 8 was a little blurry but i decided it had to be that since it was dwarfing your computer monitor in size. From what i have heard about people who have the 8s, they would say the same thing as you. The 8s put out enough bass to satisfy you, but the disadvantage of that is that with the bigger speaker size, you get a sense of distortion where it hides part of the mids. I on the other hand have 5's and a sub. I had the 5s for about 10 months....something like that, and just recently got a sub. It really does make a big difference since all the mids and highs are being played off the monitors and the lows are being put towards the sub. It makes for an awesome experience

My setup at work. Not a great pic but not bad for an iphone.

All hands to battlestations!
 



 
I've swapped the positions of the two figurines and moved the plushie Slime over to the left side, but other than that, these images are more-or-less accurate.
 
Oh, and I now have a pair of K702s as well as the DT770s.
 
Yes, I do have an Xbox 360, PS2, and PS3 set up at my PC. Two monitors with multiple inputs means I can game at my computer - none of this "need a TV to play games on" weakness, and the 6-in 1-out switchbox lets me select what system I want to hear; the output from that box goes to my PC's mobo's line-in, which means I don't even have to do any sort of cable or headphone swapping.
 
Like any sane person, this is all running through a PSU (over there on floor on the right) to protect against power surges and the like. (The PSU can also keep my machine and a monitor alive for 8-ish minutes in case of a power outage - plenty of time to save any important things and power off.)
 
I also have five virtual desktops (heck yeah, Dexpot!). In order:
 

Internet. Firefox on the left, IRC (via standalone Chatzilla) and Pidgin (currently semitransparent because it's not in-focus) on the right. I also typically have Thunderbird on the right, behind that Chatzilla window. I'll also have a Mumble client running in the background - my roommate runs a Mumble server and we use it for in-apartment vox communications (and when we game together). Behind Pidgin, you can see RainMeter, and how I have it set up. It's the same across all desktops.
 

Working. Normally when I'm doing homework or coding or whatever, I'll use this desktop. Left side is for the actual work environment (LibreOffice or Visual Studio or, most commonly a command-line window and Notepad++), right side is for reference/documentation texts. Since I wasn't not working on anything in this window when I screenshotted, I un-autohide'd Rocket Dock to show off my dock.
From left to right: Calculator, Notepad++, Paint, My Computer, Network, Control Panel, Music Library, Anime Library, Pictures Library, My Documents, Downloads, Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome, Pidgin, standalone ChatZilla, command line, MS Visual Studio 2008, ePSXe, EVE Online, PCSX2, foobar2000, Rocket Dock settings, C Cleaner, File Shredder, Process Explorer, Resource Monitor, Recycle Bin (I changed the "full" image to Rin [from Katawa Shoujo] in a Bin). The dock is the same across all desktops.
 

Gaming. When I took the shot, I was playing EVE, so you can see how my general EVE Online setup is: game on the left side, reference stuff on the right. (In this image, pyfa for ship fittings, EVEmon skill plan. I also have a Chrome window open behind pyfa for looking stuff up - such as missions on eve-survival.org.)
 

Miscellaneous. Stuff that I want to run in the background, but don't need to look at. For example: foobar2000. I listen to music, but I don't want the f2k window cluttering up my other desktops since I'm not always doing stuff in f2k. (In this image, f2k is semitransparent because it's not in focus.) Often I have a Chrome window open to Google Translate (I have a lot of Japanese music) if I need to look up a translation; in this specific image, I was looking up some Touhou remixes.
I also have ZNC, an IRC bouncer, running in the background in my Miscellaneous desktop.
 

Maintenance. From left to right: CPUID Hardware Monitor (so I can watch temperatures, voltages, fan RPMs, etc), System Information window from Process Explorer (a nice quick visual of how much of my machine's resources are being used), Process Explorer (it's like task manager, but better), and Resource Monitor (for a more detailed look at what resources are being used by what processes). Also, when my daily MyDefrag defragger runs (at 6AM), it opens itself on this desktop (so if I'm up at 6AM, it doesn't take over some other desktop).
 
And before you ask - I rotate through a large library of wallpapers (currently 28058 images) every minutes, hence why the wallpaper in the Working desktop is different from the one in the Miscellaneous desktop is different from the ones of my battlestation. (No, all the desktops have the same background, it just changes every minute.) And yes, my desktops have no icons on them - not even the Recycle Bin (that's in my Rocket Dock, remember?).
 
So yeah, that's my setup.

My modest rig.

i would love to have some monitors but the only way i could mount them would be on the wall, 1m above my desk (the bottom of the speaker would exactly where the the wall ends in the 1st picture/40 cm above the case,) and tilted to down and left/right, not sure how they'd sound or how i'd mount them, haha.
