My current setup. Monitors will go up on the wall, and a 27" imac is on the way replacing the MBP. Will post a cleaned up version in a few weeks!
Nice setup! What I've always wondered (and your setup is definitely not the only one) is how people use a mouse in such a tight space as that mouse pad
my home setup. same uMBP as sig, a pair of WD 1TB mybooks to the left, one for time machine (athena) one for my iTunes library (apollo).
JBL creature speakers, a pair of home brew macally house FW hard drives (not in use), belkin USB hub serving the two mybooks off an airport extreme tucked under the desk.
I need to finish cleaning it up. I've got a ton of stuff in a small amount of space. trying to convince my wife we need a 24" LED cinema for her future college laptop.

Nice 17incher you got there. What are the specs? Also, what is that underneath it. I am looking to buy a 17" when they are released. Do you find it a bit daunting to carry, or is it fine? (I won't be carrying it out much, just on holidays, around the house etc).
i've seen the setup here and there...
basically everywhere..
i've asked before of how to get the old style keyboard...
the white ones..
and i got one..
i have an aluminum apple keyboard with numeric pad also..
both are great.. well IBM Model M keyboard is certainly better.. but hey..
but what still annoys me is that.. i cant seem to find keyboard with the correct keys..
i've just started using my mac as my development machine, i'm building some system as product now..
and i'm doing heavy coding..
the thing is.. on aluminum keyboard.. i cannot use my shortcut that i've developed in to muscle memory.. like f5 - step in, f6 - step over, f7 - step out, f8 - run...
because it's used for iTunes control..
but if i use the old style keyboard.. i cannot control iTunes which always stays in the background, i have to bring iTUnes to the foreground..
and it's a hassle..
i wish, there's a keyboard.. with complete iTunes stortcut..AND an FN key..
because the aluminum keyboard doesn't have the FM key..
or is there something else that i'm missing here?

i would try Sizzling Keys, which you can buy for only $5 USD. http://www.yellowmug.com/sk4it/
i had to have a wireless keyboard solution with a 10-key pad. apple doesn't make it in aluminum so i bought the white bluetooth keyboard off of eBay. k missed the "iTunes" keys so i bought that little program and you can program iTunes functions to pretty much any key. hope that helps.
One. DVI. Can use a DVI to VGA or HDMI to DVI, but its only DVI on them unfortunately.
Gotcha. I'm looking for a secondhand monitor to hook up machines I'm working on.
I'll probably just get some cheap 15" off craigslist or something.
mine
I tidied up.I want to make it even more minimalist but can't think how.... expect for selling the MP 09 for a Imac
You know you want to sell the MP '09 and go for the MP '10 setup with dual 30" like me (now that is minimalist)
Would this be of help (specifically the 2nd to last paragraph):
Apple Keyboard (2007): New key placement and functionality
Lol you stole thecreativeone's old name.
Nice, Is that a 13" MBP or the old Uni MacBook?
I don't know how much help this is, but I used to use BowTie for that very reason. It gave me a set of user-definable keyboard shortcuts that I used to control iTunes. Additionally, my new Kinesis Freestyle has a Fn key that I am finding incredibly useful.

Nothing really's changed. Looking for a new layout with the small given space.
Suggestions would be nice.
I need this wallpaper in my life. Please!
