Thought I'd do a post of my past room setups as well as my latest:
2008: My 2006 Macbook Pro
2009-2010: Added an external 23" monitor and a better desk, TV was replaced as it broke
Mid-late 2010: Got my iMac
Early 2011: Added my old monitor to the setup
Late 2011/Early 2012: New TV, removed the monitor as it wasn't as bright as my iMac's screen which annoyed me
Early-mid 2012: New desk
Present: Added a 21.5" monitor to pair with my iMac, new TV stand
nice progression. it's actually pretty cool to see how it all changes. wonder what itll look like in 2020.
Love the setup! What's the sound system you're using there, if you dont mind me asking?
Cheers
thats a cool 'minimal' out of the way set up you got tucked away there, I really like that
Yeah thats super nice, although the only thing i dont like is the book leveling out the other monitor lol but it has to be there sooooo...

Your pics are not working. I would recommend using Photobucket, Flickr or Imageshack.

Amazing. What chair is that?
Really wish I had a larger table to accommodate more things (like my tablet) but this will have to do for now.
2008-2009

2012
A Ps3 and 360 are tucked right behind the monitor, which I'm saving up to upgrade once Apple releases a cinema display that takes advantage of my new retina macbook.

Try again, your pictures don't work. You can't put TIMG tags onto attachments.

Thanks buddy!
enjay...is that a cpu on top of a sub woofer below ur desk????
Yes, the PSU is flipped however so it's not sucking in through the bottom.
And if you're wondering about hard drive vibrations etc.. they're dampened.
It's only really temporarily, as i need to sort out wiring and it was the best way to fit it with minimal wires. There is literally 1mm gap between the top of the desk and the case.
