its actually a photo i took last weekend but ill get it uploaded for you and pm you the link dude
its LED strip lighting from ikea, it changes colour too which is awesome to match wallpapers etc. £44 i think and so easy to install. i just attached it the the back strip of my desk, only bought it during the week and so far so good.
They look good! Most Ikea stores in the US (if not all of them?) don't carry the Ikea Dioder strips anymore. You can buy them on eBay... and they are cheaper there too.
I've seen those on this & other forums before & decided to get some myself, however I then discovered that they are $49.99 in the USA but £44.92 (equivalent of $65.87) in the UK! How the hell can Ikea justify charging us so much more than them!?
The external hard drive is an Iomega 1TB (2x500GB) set up in RAID mirrored. The other is a WD MyBook 500GB used for Time Machine.
The mixer is an Alesis FireWire Multimix, use it for doing demos with my band and general musical messing around.
what speakers are those?
My 30" is normally on my Mac Pro, but took it for a test drive on my MacBook Pro today before ordering a 2nd 30".

Just build your own. Its very easy to do, you will save a ton of money and it will be vastly superior quality wise if you use quality LED's. There are a ton of sites that show you how to wire LED's. If you dont want to build your own then shop around. LED light strips are actually fairly popular and a lot of different companies offer them. 65.87 is way too much money for light strips. Even 50 bucks is too much money.
Tears, literally tears fall from my eyes looking at those pictures.
I hope to one day be that successful.

Before you shed too many tears, let me caution you that the success of a man is probably not best measured by the magnitude of his office.
I do like my office, and I am happy to show it off, and I hope others get something out of it--but there's more to life or success than a great office.
In some ways I would trade it all for a few folding tables and a dumpy office to be in a more "starving start-up" situation in the Valley. I miss the pure raw energy of building a company in that situation. I am a co-founder of a Valley start-up but when I'm only in the Valley a few days a month right now, I miss out on a lot.
So there's pros and cons of both extremes.
[If there are any business majors on this board in Boston, I am looking for an intern to do inside sales--Send me email.]
I'll post a new picture later to make up for all these words in a picture thread.
-- P.S. Just want to mention it has to be a GOOD start-up to be worth the swap. Working at a lame start-up with no customers, no prospects, no future, and a crappy office is the worst thing in the world.

Ok before I post these pictures you have to keep in mind that we are in the middle of having an extension put on our home so I have had to move my entire home computer setup, among many other things, into a tiny little room. The extension is for a bigger family room and a much bigger computer room so I can bring my computer set up at my photography studio home. It should be done by the first of July and hopefully it will have made the last 9 months of this nightmare worth it. I see everyone in here with a nice a tidy computer set up and I vaguely remember what that used to be like. I have tried to make the best of it, I even mounted my speakers on the wall and hung a few pictures, lol.
A Peek at the mess behind the computers. Its much much worse in reality!
I even have Hard Drives on the ground, lol.
Its a nightmare and like with the cords, its much worse in reality.
