March setup is better than June. Although I would switch places with the big screen and the black monitor.
Look at these... Workspace & Office Design #13, Epic Inspiration Collection http://theultralinx.com/2012/02/workspace-office-design-13-epic-inspiration-collection.html
I also prefer the look of the March setup but all of this is in my bedroom and the March setup was very cramped and also the TV was in the corner and I only use the TV when I'm in bed so it was a bit uncomfortable and it better now as it's directly in front of me now, the room has so much room now.
Or start with the latest and work backwards:

Kinda sucks that arguably the cleanest setups are the ones without speakers in them
I agree with this. the less stuff on the desk arguably is the cleanest looking. This is why I dislike dell ips monitors. They dont have speakers in them. Some of my favorite setups are imac setups or laptop setups that have the laptop attached to the back of a thunderbolt display so all you see is the display.
dell came out with a pretty nice all in one called the xps 18. its a 18 inch tablet (yes tablet) that weighs like 3.5 pounds. its thinner then an imac and can sit on a imac like foot as a stand. It touch ready and has a battery built in. so you use it like a desktop then pick it up and walk into the other room like a tablet. Im waiting for haswell version for better battery life.

If you're not much of an audiophile (like myself), you can do what I did in a previous setup which is just place small desktop speakers behind the monitor (or even mount them to the back of the monitor).
I primarily use the 27" in the middle but had to pull out and test the 23" apple displays. Good thing for the big desk lol.

Oh man that's awesome! I just finished looking at your "build" where you installed a second PSU.
(Nice 27" PLS monitor with a friendlier semi-glossy coating)
I've updated my setup since march... I got some art for Father's day (Batman movie posters - thanks to this forum, forgot which user though) and added a set of Star Wars reprints that i liked. I also removed one of the extensions from the Galant desk as I needed to make some room in the office.
I like it a lot and I don't really use it for the extra devices, primarily just my iMac. Build quality is really good and feels solid. If I were to point out a CON, it would be that the illumination doesn't stay on. It will stay on during use, but when idle the lights will go off. A positive spin on that though is that the lights come right back on if you just motion your hands above the keyboard, don't even have to press a button.
I just bought one and mine should be coming today, so that's good news.
The illumination wouldn't bother me.. I think i'd quite like that feature, actually.
I feel like the Apple keyboard gets grungy looking too easily, so hopefully the Logitech does better at that.
PLUS IT MATCHES MY IMAC (and we all know that's the most important feature)... right?
love the olly moss star wars posters .. im looking at picking up an original set of those or the tyler stout
That is actually a PRO as it was specifically designed in that regard to save battery. In use, if I'm not using my keyboard, why would I want it to light up? As soon as I hover my hands over it, it lights up.
I get that, but at the same time I wouldn't mind if there was a setting to turn it on/off. I like the keyboard, and I don't really see it as a CON, but it is worth mentioning since it's a illuminated keyboard. Some people might actually have an issue with it.
Well I liked that 3 monitor setup so much, ordered 2 more matching 27" displaysEvga gtx 670 2gb
