Ha damn the death moth made me laugh my ass off. That's actually a pic of a moth that landed in our backyard fence door and my wife thought it'd make a great photo. I get you though. With that perspective it does reming me of horror flics.
Got a tip for us?

Here is my setup 
Just cleaned my desk so seemed like an opportunity to grab a pic.

Well I waited till dark to tell her and sure enough she grits her teeth and says "NOOOOO DON'T TELL ME THAT". HAHAHA, nice.
I'm not really a fan of shiny, ikea elegance (no offense to 80 percent of you), but this is a very nice setup. I especially like the lighting in the last photo.
Two things I think would make it look even nicer, is if you had the mac on a stand, and a logitech k811 keyboard with a wireless mouse or trackpad.
What is that thing on the far right? Also, what is the monitor connected to? Last, is this home or office cause those doors are nice and out of curiosity, why did you decide to put the desk against the doors (obviously you must have another door)?
The thing on the right is for my camera.....to remove the dust on the sensor.
At the moment the monitor is connected to my Windows PC in the lower right corner (last picture). Need it for games and for school. In the future I wanna buy an iMac or another monitor for my MacBook ..... (damn I hate windows so much since I'm using osx )
Cables are already fixed with cable tie
It's my home setup.....and yeah sure I have another door. This is just an useless interconnecting door. It's the best place for my desk. It fits exactly the place there because the door is a little bit indented.

Still rocking on PowerPC 8)
I feel like I'm using a old piece of **** when I see all these new Mac, but, my "old piece of ****" is still way more fast and stable than the most PC* I've seen, so I'm happy with that ^^
What you see:
My PowerMac G5 Late 2005 DualCore 2,3GHZ (specs in sig)
My PC
2x Dell E176FP and 1 Dell 2007FP

My PC (mainly used to sync my iDevices and play YouTube: Pentium E5500@2,8 / GT 730 / 6Gb DDR3 / Win 7 Pro)
2x Dell E176FP and 1 Dell 2007FP (Want to replace by a Cinema Display 23" (or even 30" :3 But waaaay too much expensive, like 3 or 4 times the price I paid for my G5) or a 27" screen)
My Nintendo 3DS Red
Some Manga I was reading (Well.. Started to read :') One Punch Man - SnK - Lesson Of The Evil)
A 4 USB Ports Hub (because 4 ports in the entire computer is really not enough)
What you don't see:
My (future) iPhone 5S (not recieve yet, I hope the 20th, but mail service is terrible so, maybe later)
My iPad Air (my mother is using it)
6/7 PC laying around (pretty much useless, think about sell them or give them for free, but money is always good)
My manga collection

* Windows PC, not Linux PC, Linux PC is stable and fast, at least all the one I've seen
The Windows BSOD is a nice touch.
Thank you ^^ I made this with what I had, An old TV stand on 4 computer case (where the screen sit) and a another TV stand with a wooden board (where the computer sit)
And my entire house (my parent's one) is running on PowerPC ^^ (as their main machine at least xD)
We never felt the need to switch to Intel, and we probably won't until 2017, or later. Even if I'm thinking about buying a Macbook, I spend the most of my time on Ebay to find a 2010 Macbook or cheap Macbook Pro 13". But honestly, it really depend how well Dual G5 could handle the web browsing, but it's working fine with Leopard-Webkit and TenFourFox ^^
I always had this wallpaper on my Windows PC since I switched to Mac, A little bit of humor is always goodThe Windows BSOD is a nice touch.
EDIT: I added a second video card to my G5, so now, all 3 display is connected to the G5, the PC is now on a second desk ^^

Depends on the table ;-)
since I only use my mac book + external mouse I'm fine with sitting on my dining table. Plus, when I'm hungry all I need to do is store my mac book away in the drawer and I can wine and dine myself. Table is similar to this one (woodwise maybe a little less fancy): https://www.antondoll.de/massivholztisch-eiche-mit-schubladen-10.html
My setup: 2011 Mini, 2 Dell S2340L IPS monitors.
I have a full-size desk in an adjacent office-type room where I previously had my big old Dell computer, but then I got this little desk so I could put the Mac in the smallish TV room where I usually hang out (and there is a gas fireplace). I sometimes watch movies or put webpages from the Mini to the TV via Apple TV, pretty cool this machine can run 3 displays and latest OS X.
I am thinking about putting the monitors on a little shelf or stand on the wall a couple of inches above and behind the desk location, and put the mini on a shelf attached just under the desktop, to get more space, but the current setup is good.
The Dell monitors are excellent BTW, glossy screen for good colour and my room lighting gives no reflection problems.

I like the LEDS
Do you have a link to your PC background?
