The iMac is so big, I just had to. Otherwise it would come to close to my face due to the fact that my desk isn't that deep. So, it's better ergonomically and the window has never been used as an actual window anyway. The desk is located in a small, triangle shaped space in my room. I got 4 different big windows to get my light from
It also gives me just more deskspace. It's like having it against the wall, I suppose. 
It's still there. It's just not shown in the picture.
The iPhone first gen hasn't got a very good camera so I could not get it all on the pic.
I said where did you "buy" not "put"
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I answered your question in a rush, so I did not read carefully.
It's bought in The Netherlands, where I live. The store next door had these so I picked one up when I drove by. So, yeah.

wow...the store next door...never heard of that store
After checking out many of these photos and from previous threads I learned that simplicity and lighting really introduce a really nice setup.
Tip 1: If you have an iMac get back lighting to have the back of the iMac glow. This is very cheap to be done.
Tip 2: Get a modern wooden table/ glass table. Here is a link to the desk I have that is really modern.

Or for the same one for cheaper

Tip 3: Have stands for your i Devices such as the iPad and iPhone 4 with the dock that apple sells & have them side by side with the iMac or desktop.
Tip 4: Dark Walnut or lightwood are the modern colored wood that people like to choose. Redwood is a fancy type color and is not clarified modern so don't get that color if you are looking to having a modern setup.
Tip 5: As I said from Tip 1 for your iMac but this is towards the whole setup. Get a modern light that really lights up your whole setup.
Tip 6: Modern framless paintings on the wall of your setup is a great ad-on. Here is a great website to find some modern paintings for cheap.

Tip 7: Rather than selling your old iMac use it as a second monitor side by side with the new iMac that you purchased. (The more displays, the more productivity and real-estate you get).
Tip 8: get a modern computer chair. Here is a nice one.

Thats about it.
I actually have the glass desk I linked you to but my setup isn't ready yet so I won't be posting my iMac,iPad, iPhone setup yet.
Need the backlighting iMac and more overall lighting on my setup.

Very nice with the Cinema Display on the wall. Great family photo as well; my family pictures are always awful.

Thx! Yeah, it was taken in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this year. We had a desert safari that day.
I thought there would be alot of Apple Cinema 27" on flickr, youtube and here by now but there is only a couple, come on now, buy and take pictures
In the process of moving so my setup is located squarely on my coffee table. Will post new pic once I am moved into my new place and set up the office.
Not shown in photo is the mountain of boxes just to the left.

Hows the magic trackpad working for ya? you use it more than the Magic Mouse?
Anyone have experience with this chair? The price is great and I like the design. Not sure about ergonomics and durability though.
Great reviews on it from another website. Don't know it at the moment, have to do a deeper google search to find it.
I was about to buy it but it went out of stock and whenever it gets back in stock I won't have the money. It makes me plan angry.
At the moment I still don't have this chair but I will sooner or later.
I have a similar chair that I got from Tesco in the UK, and its really comfortable and sturdy.
The Magic Trackpad rules. Love it. Don't even use the mouse. It seems like you have to move the mouse so far to get it across the screen and with the Magic Trackpad its just gets you around the screen faster.
Thanks. I read some reviews and most were good but I also read about flaking so that has me a little worried.

Thanks. I think I will go and order it. $200 sounds good to me.
