Agreed. Looks a bit uncomfortable tilting to the left for long periods of time like that.

Very nice setup. Very clean. The foot stool is a good idea. I may have to check what i have in my garage.
So I thought it was time to show my first Mac setup

- iPhone 5s, which I used to take the pics
That is a completely insanely cool room.
Just went and got a new desk from ikea and loving it so far
As you can see my "entertainment" stuff is setup on another little desk so my main desk isn't really cluttered with a lot.
Main Desk:
Mid 2011 21.5" iMac
Presonus Eris E5 studio monitors

M-audio mobilepre MkII(Hate it)
Line 6 pod GX
WD MyPassport 320GB HDD
750GB HDD in external HDD enclosure
iPhone 5 dock
Second Desk:
Samsung 19" tv(Not that great)
Apple Tv 3rd Gen
Xbox 360 S 250GB
Turtle Beach X32 wireless headset

Just got my first Mac. This thread is certainly helping me work out how to get the laptop sat nicely in my current setup. At the moment my desk seems cramped with both a laptop and a PC with dual monitors.
Your desk is cramped?
I just got my iMac 680 mx machine, I'm still awaiting my third party VESA mount like attachment (allows a vesa mount thru the hole in the iMac's stand...) and I'm having issues with bootcamp, so I've got an old mac keyboard out..
The vesa stand is a rotating one. Basically in the end the new iMac will be at the left almost floating off the desk, and then rotate where it is for gaming/bootcamp.
Everything else is on vesa mounts, including the iMac. Synergy Km still isn't working either, but I have a logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard with 3 profiles, and so I can switch to all 3 machines on the fly (the two iMacs and the core duo mac mini in my sig).
I do a mix of everything, gaming, programming, music, networking, etc. I was gonna get the mac pro, but... I was also going to sell the i5 iMac but at this point they are only worth around $700-$800 on ebay..
The 3 extra monitors are an apple cinema display 27, a dell u2711, and a dell u2212. The dell u2212 isn't exactly in the best viewing angle, but really the core duo iMac is simply a music/video player.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is one of your external monitors seating directly behind the two iMacs?
The iMac i5 kind of slightly cuts off a couple of the edges, but the main reason for the apple cinema being currently behind the new iMac is due to reasons that my first post clearly explained.
Well, VESA stand and not vest stand notwithstanding.... ( damn safari and it's auto correct)
A small update from my previous set-up:

What's new:
-Taurus Raid 2 x 1TB (Raid 1)
-iPod Mini 2G (4GB) - always wanted one, now I do
Excuse me for the poor image quality, current iPhone will soon be replaced for a 5S (25-10 if possible haha)
Furthermore; I've got an iMac G4 transformed into a HDMI display, a G4 Cube, and more modern stuff, but these are my favourites design-wise.
like the blue ipod.
Mine as of now, 3.06ghz 27" iMac. and the PC I built myself a couple weeks ago. I am actually really liking Windows 8.1
Yes... I used Glidden paint and it sucks. that is what it looks like after 5 thick coats. I used 2 full gallons on this small room. I will get around to it sooner or later, but for now it has to stay like this...
