Awesome! Nice setup by the way, very minimalistic. Would you recommend it? I'm currently looking for a new audio interface.
Thanks! And yes I would, except get the 18i8 if you want one with as many inputs as mine as they don't sell mine anymore, but if you don't need as many inputs get the 2i2 my dad has one of them and that is also brilliant.
No, I don't need as many inputs. Thanks a lot! I've read a lot of good things about them.
Who is the dude in the hat, whose autograph/signature you have?
I may be double dipping here, but I finally wrapped up the remodel of my office and wanted to post the final results. My previous post was the past, so I guess this is the present?
Gear:
Custom PC inside a Silverstone Fortress with a Sabertooth Z87 Motherboard, a watercooled 4770k, 32gb of Dominator ram, 2x eVGA Superclocked 780GTX's, a Neutron GTX 480gb SSD for the OS's (Windows 8.1 and Linux), coupled with a 1TB and 4TB WD Green for storage. Keyboard is a Quickfire TK (includes the numerical keypad, as I often code on my PC when browser testing); mouse is the amazing Logitech G502. Using a set of Astro A50's for sound, and an Xbox One controller for non-FPS controller enabled games. Monitor is a Viewsonic VP2770, soon to be replaced by a BenQ BL3200PT (a 10bit 32" VA panel, arriving Saturday).
Next to this is a Cintiq 22HD, both it and the PC monitor are on Ergotron arms.
The rMBP is the 2.3ghz, 16gb of ram, 512gb SSD model with the dedicated GPU.
iMac is the slim model from late 2012. I opted out of grabbing the new Mac Pro until later, as the performance of the iMac is still tip top, and I'll simply never use the power of the GPU's in the new Pros.
In front of the iMac sits an Apogee Duet2 audio interface; I use this for recording my Guitars, my Axiom Pro 61, and my drums. There is an Intuos Pro Medium (replaced an old Intuos5 Large for portability), and two 3TB LaCie Thunderbolt Drives on the desk. Keyboard is a Das Keyboard Mac Edition, coupled with a Logitech G700. The speakers are a pair of Yamaha HS80M Studio Monitors, with the HSW10 sub (not used during monitoring, because bass); I'm also running a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50 cans, which I use for vocal mixing and mastering.
Printer/Scanner is the Brother MFC-J6920DW. It's great for 11x17 printing and scanning. As I often do comic inking work, this thing is a mainstay for me, as I can scan my pencils, quickly turn them into blue line, and print that blue line on heavy bristol board using the rear feed. (If anyone is in need of an 11x17 printer/scanner, this model comes highly recommended, and has replaced a separate scanner and printer that combined cost well over 5k.)
Couch and ottoman are from Ikea. Guitars and Bass are Schecters. Desks (I like hard wood -- there's probably a meme here) are two Hamlyn desks from Ashley.
I am in love with iDutchman's setup -- the simplicity and cleanliness are awesome. Great work man!

In the pictures there is :
My i7 3770 hackintosh (Mac Pro killer... Literally. It geek benches higher than most Mac Pros) which is connected to a 25inch 1920x1080 monitor, Creative 5.1 speakers (set up as 2.1), Apple Wireless Keyboard (the newer one with launchpad button after the old one has a little "encounter" with a glass of juice...) and a logitech G5 gaming mouse since my Magic Mouse crapped out.
My 32" 1080p TV connected to an Xbox 360 and a Wii on a cheap TV stand that is also holding my iPad, controllers for the consoles, DS and Printer.
On the bed is some random purple monster that my mum decided to get me as part of a joke 17th birthday present so uhh... thanks mum...
My summer time setup. And Ferrari coffee mug!
Looks like the garage from the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, that had a Ferrari item in it too
