Great setup, pretty similiar to what I'm thinking of getting, just with the older 24in ACD.
What spec air is that and what websites were laggy?
Got a tip for us?

iMac 27" i7 2.93 16GB 1TB Hard Drive 
Just picked up the 27in display today for the office. I was surprised how well the 11in MBA base model handled driving such a pixel-dense display. Although, I did get feel some noticeable lag when I tried scrolling quickly while image-heavy websites were loading.
What keyboard pad is that?
Here is my current setup. Needs a little dusting and I would like to replace the keyboard and mouse but I like it.
Got a little extra money from people for my birthday so I decided to buy a Magic Mouse, also, wanted to show how the iSight looks in my setup...

Very nice. Where did you find your ISight, and how do you like it? They are cool looking cameras.
I got it off of eBay. I like it a lot, however, it is showing its age a little bit. Quality is a just a tad fuzzy in lower lighting conditions. Otherwise its great!

I cant get that chair out of my mind, if you dont mind can I ask where you got that piece of heaven?

I wouldn't call it heaven. In my testing, the Aeron is still the king at this price point.
It's only a temporary desk solution, but it's okay for now.
at that bookshelf. I have a bookshelf but no where that many books. What is the main subject of those books? they looks like magazines or something.It's only a temporary desk solution, but it's okay for now.
You can't hide your twilight from us
That's mainly my pen & paper RPG bookshelf, so it's mostly rulebooks, campaign guides and accessories (D&D, Shadowrun, World of Darkness, Alternity, Midgard, Cthulhu, etc.).

Why should I?
I really enjoyed 'em, took me week to read all four. Yes, they're cheesy and no, I'm not the target audience, but I liked the slightly different approach on vampire mythology. Overall, it was a good read. 
I'll also like to hear about whether the stands improve the sounds of the AudioEngine 2 speakers.
I'd figured I will do a past/present thing now.

What made you decide to not put the iMac back in the window bay? Also, obviously you upgraded the iMac to include an SSD yourself... how difficult was it?
Simply because it would be a very tight fit. And secondly because the screen would be coming to close and , because of it's size, hurt my eyes.
The SSD install was not so easy after all. I was used to upgrading MacBook Pro's, so I thought I could do this quite easily. Well, no.
It took me a while but with patience and guidance of the internet, you'll be fine.
Just make sure you are well prepared.
He uses his iPad for the real work (games, porn, twitter, facebook-ing for parties), and his iMac for.. I dunno..
Yeah, that sounds about right. I really have no clue why I bought the iMac.
