I love the Apple Cinema Display. I wish Apple still made these ones. To me they look much nicer than the current ones. I like the anti-glare better then the glossy.
This is my current Mac setup. Looking to get an external monitor. Sorry for the graininess of my iPhone 4S.

There are tons of 21-24 inch 1080p monitors that can be had for around $160ish
You really want to take the look of the monitor into account when your buying one. Your going to be looking at it all the time, its not like a PC case which you sit under your desk, the monitor is in front of you the whole time.
Imo, at that price range, you might be able to get a Dell UM2412, which is a fantastic monitor, i really love mine.
Here we go. My portable setup which works also as a desktop replacement.

I don't know where you live, but can I move in?!

What is another roommate or two! Right!!!
Awesome view, the computer setup is nice, but the view is nice!
A few changes since the last post. Most notably, on the far left of my desk is my new iMac G4 20" with an Intel NUC (soon to be mounted in the dome). Main computer is of course my '08 Mac Pro, older Dell Speakers on my G-DRIVE 2TB FireWire 800 backup disk. Sub is behind my center monitor. Far right is a CRT for analogue gameplay from my Wii/N64 through my capture card (Blackmagic Intensity Pro).

Haha.
I live in Finland. It's nice during summer but prepare for a cold winter and some snow! 
So many screens! Add a toilet-chair and a minifridge and I would never leave that desk
I used to think the 3 screens was overkill, but when I get deep into work and I have 2-3 VMs running at once, Netflix or a Twitch stream running, and still need a web browser and my iMessage, it's justified imo. I think the toilet chair would be overkill, but I would love a mini-fridge.

Interesting a Ferrari lover with a Type E wallpaper , just kidding i'm a fan of Ferrari and have some Gulf stuff and an aston martin replica on my desk , nice view, should be very relaxing to work from there.
That monitor is absolutely superb. I actually want to put down my iProduct and go use a computer after looking at it.
Looks really great. I just wish it was a 2560x1440 27" monitor.
Thanks I've only had the monitor a few days but I'm really liking it. It's more a stop gap until the LG 34um95 becomes more avaliable in the UK.
Well, I think it is minimalistic in the sense that I don't really own anything I don't need. What you see on the desk are basically my work tools (plus some notebooks). I believe your tools shouldn't get in the way of your work flow (I'm a graphic designer), and in that sense I'm trying to keep my setup as light as possible. I also like that it is quite portable.
