This is where I'm working at the moment. This simple setup is crammed onto a very small, very old desk that I love.

The GPU progression of my FT03:

2. Sapphire HD 6990

3. eVGA GTX 590 Classified

4. Back to the HD 6990 (sold the 590)
5. Back to another eVGA GTX 590 Classified (sold the 6990)
6. (Present) Zotac GTX 480 AMP! (for $200, really impossible to say no)

 
Next up: 2x 7990s

Good question.

I really like the office of Jude: small, clean and with everything you need to listen to their favorite music.

Yeah, and how unpractical for everything else.

I'm still waiting for you to answer J.Pocalypse question... it looks like a dead moth of some kind, I'm thinking of one of my favorite bug a megalopyge opercularis (***** moth http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=megalopyge%20opercularis&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1440&bih=809&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=hV9ST5zSNcqI0QGGooXRDQ) with insanely huge poisonous antennas and frightening glare.
 
Also be aware that we should always put the most weighty stuff lower and on the floor ideally. If a really strong earthquake happen, or if a car run into your house, or if you jump into your desk by mistake, if... you know what would happen bad

I have both sizes of 2011 MacBook Airs here, and one of the pre-Thunderbolt 2010 13" ones (that was being used by a former employee). So I have two Thunderbolt displays, and one non-Thunderbolt Cinema Display (the one in the photo) for them. I like to move around a lot, so I work in at least a few different locations, and also will regularly go off-site (to a coffee house or library) for a change the scenery and vibe--the MacBook Airs paired with the displays work well for my current workstyle.
 
For sheer performance, I'm considering having one of my desktops equipped with a more powerful desktop Mac of some sort. That said, I haven't felt hampered by the performance of these Airs, so I'm not likely to do that yet.

The Fostex TH900 is very nice. Last night was my first real night with it, and it's making wonderful first impressions.

You are absolutely right, but I just love this old desk (and nothing larger would fit in the little space it's in). It's an antique desk, but I've made the concession to modernity and ergonomics by putting a great (but certainly not antique chair) in front of it.
 
When I want to write something or sign documents, I have to get up and move to another table, or grab a clipboard. If I know I'll need a real desk, I work at my main home office desk (or my work office desk, if I'm at the office).
 
Again, you are right, though, that this particular desk is not the height of practicality.

 

[devouringone3]

Oh well, I never thought you would address my point but.. but you do have a much bigger and empowering desk/office I've seen surrounding your person when doing Head-Fi TV, so I guess you're allowed to have a cute computer desk for the smaller deeds .
 
By the way Jude do you have pictures of the unboxing of the TH900 to be uploaded on Head-Fi Flickr Photo Gallery? Or is it just a sample you received for evaluation and you don't want to make it too official just yet?

Wow, such a creature.
 
Thanks!
 
Actually I looked at it upside down, now I see it... it's less scary when you know.
 
You just happened to have one passing by in your house and you shot it when you took out your camera to take a photo of your rig?
 
Here's a picture of it up side up

 
The caterpillar version will eat up to 86 000 its own weight in one month, in order to become so big I guess
