My set-up:

Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display
Mac Mini (2011)
Powermac G5 (late 2005); 4GB RAM
2012 mid 13" Macbook Pro
iPhone 3GS (16GB)
iPod Touch (64GB)
iPad 1 (16GB)
Apple Wireless Keyboard x2 (getting another for my G5 Saturday)
Apple Magic Trackpad
Apple Magic Mouse x2

Non Apple:
Samsung 24" LCD for the G5 (I want an Apple monitor to replace it)
And a Samsung R510 which I've had for years :p

I guess you people can see now why I want the 23" Apple Display now, to sorta complete the set-up :p

The Thunderbolt display looks super cool like that. Aren't you worried it will tip over?
 
big screen

somebody asked me about it earlier, running Mac Mini on 60" Samsung LED HDTV... quality isn't as good due to the larger screen but, i like watching Youtube vids etc. as i work

Oh god...

Okay, I'm going from sources to speakers and headphones here.

Xbox/PS3/Wii/Other HDMI input -> TV -> optical to a Fiio DAC -> Analog to Presonus FireStudio Mobile

Macbook Air -> Coaxial sound card over USB -> Coaxial to analog to the FireStudio

Mac Pro via FireWire to FireStudio

At the FireStudio, everything gets combined and then sent twice.

1) Speaker setup: Analog outputs of FireStudio go to my Harman Kardon surround amplifier (the terrible terrible amp I mentioned earlier, it really is crap and needs to be replaced) -> The Jean Marie Reynaud Twin Signatures and my Final S200 subwoofer.

2) Stax setup. Coaxial output from my FireStudio to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic, which goes to the SRM-Xs and then to the SR-202. On Wednesday, the latter two will be replaced by the SRM-323 (I believe the S model) and the SR-407 respectively.

I can also get straight audio from my FireStudio to a pair of earphones or regular headphones if I wish.

Hope that was informative. It's a lot of cable and my giant cable guide is overloaded with the stuff. Too many things in too little space to be honest, but it all works.

I'm thinking of either getting a new power amplifier next, or to go with active studio monitors (which would complement my setup quite well indeed).
