I know my wife will never read this, but I have to say she is beyond awesome. I'm truly lucky. She feigns interest in computers or anything to do with technology because she knows it's an interest of mine. She really outdid herself this time though. She knew I was growing tired of my old monitor, so she bought me a brand new 27" iMac. It's the 2.7 i5. This thing is beautiful, and my wife is awesome.

Congratulations for having such an awesome wife and awesome new "monitor"! :)

Thanks! I had an older Westinghouse monitor that I was thinking about replacing. I was thinking along the lines of a 24" external that my 13" MBP or my netbook could hook up to. This is so far beyond what I had in mind. If she's setting me up for one of her wants, I'm definitely game to reciprocate :D.

Time for something shiny for the old lady.
 
Here's my setup.

iMac mid-2011 21.5 with Klipsch 2.1 speakers (the best I ever seen)!

do the parenthesis pertain to the speakers. im really considering them to replace my 2.1 20 watt creatives. i will use them in my dorm at college and room at home for xbox, music, movies etc. i have klipsch image ones and my dad has a klipsch subwoofer. im really impressed with them so far and their customer service is good (my image ones wire got pinched and they replaced them no questions asked). im hoping these are just as good because when i heard them in bestbuy they sounded pretty good. do you like them?
 
Got a few more toys from last pic. Picked up a 3D Connexion mouse for Cinema4D work, an ipad 2 and a brand new Embody Chair :D

Finally got around to cleaning my datacenter, ended up phasing out 8 servers as well.

The rack is reversed so that the cold air from the vents is pulled into the servers and the hot air from the servers goes into the air return.

Nice amount of gear you got there, usually see this type of setup on hardforum.com networking forums, whats its purpose? training or production
 
Replaced the tabletop with an untreated pine one. Love the smell it gives the room. :p Thinking about varnishing it, but we'll see..

Also managed to upload pic of projector working for those who wanted to see it in action.

I love them! They are incredible.

I had some Logitech before but those one do not compare. Well worth the money.

I freakin love my Embody. Congrats on the purchase. Definitely took a little time for me to get used to all the settings and get it just right. Seat is very comfortable for long sessions and it goes from work to gaming chair in half a second. Awesome color choice, I played it safe and got mine in black and white.
 
I think I posted my mac mini desk setup here before, but since the mini has two display outputs, I also run a long HDMI cable to my main system. At my desk, I use an Apple wireless keyboard and magic trackpad and in the living room, I use an iPad with Rowmote Pro.

Here is a pic of the setup (will try to take a better pic at some point).

Nice setup. What speakers are they and what TT are you using as well?

Totally worth it. I was having serious back issues and now I can sit 12 hours straight without a single blink (or urge to pop my back for that matter)
