Here's mine:
1) Apple Unibody Macbook 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB 7200rpm HD
2) Acer H233H Full HD monitor - got it very cheap, and it's very neat)
3) Apple Aluminium Keyboard wired - I don't have much trouble cables, but I do not like batteries and not having numeric keys
4) Logitech MX400 - I wanted it wired (hate changing batteries) and to have forward/backward keys plus horizontal scroll. And I hate the Mighty Mouse.
5) Line6 Toneport UX2 - for recording stuff, playing on the electric, but mostly for the "soundcard function"
6) Sony 5.1 set - My Toneport sends a digital signal by coax to my Sony amp. So I can hear all the system sounds (including my guitar/vocals/synth/whatever) through 5.1.
7) Sennheiser HDR115 - very handy wireless phones. Plus I got old Sony around-ear wired phones.
8) SonyEricsson dock - that thing on the left; for my K850i.
9) Rain Design mStand - expensive, but it's perfect!
What I want:
1) Signal to Toneport is not good, I have to restart my Mac most of the time when I connect the USB. With 10.4.9-10.4.11 it was okay, as with 10.5.2-10.5.4. Hope it will be solved again soon.

Not mac until appl does the back to school offers when I will buy the high end macbook. Until then the money's sitting around waiting.
5 year old acer laptop with max ram and ugraded hd.
3x Senheiser headphones - Wireless, sports and dj (use for everything)

6/7 year old samsung 15" monitor that comes in handy sometimes.
ipod classic 80Gb with hand made, high end italian black leather case. (made by me )
couple of guitars, one acoustic, one electric which was custom made... by me.
Then theres all my photos that I've taken for my photography course stuck on the wall with some sketches. Also my GCSE Art which is somes dancers and break dancers on 3 boards which are mounted on 2m x 1m board (something like that).
I'll be getting a new desk in about a week which I've been making for my product design. IS GOING TO BE AWESOME! Click the link in my sig.

That's not a mouse pad!
I don't know how it's called, it's just a plastic thing like that world map, except it's a lot thinner and classier.@LERsince1991: What's with the Strat neck?

I think I just liked it better, I had to cut the head out. I just chose to do it that way
If I was doing it again I might have done it differently.A2 Product Design? Nice, I'm taking the same course, I was going to make a desk too, but decided instead to build a bass instead.
Sorry for awful Blackberry pictures, I'll take my dlsr in soon to get some real shots. This was a while ago, the build is actually a lot more progressed than this now.
I read through the desk build thread, nice! Considering how seriously you take design, I take it you are going to uni for design? Where abouts?
I used to be a 'reg' (playing about 20-25k hands per month) at 50NL and 100NL, but I haven't played very much lately. My name on there is same as here.
From the looks of your setup (24" imac and 17" MBP I read in an older post by you) I guess you play much higher stakes?
Here's a quick shot of my setup after I got my 24" iMac today.
The iMac is replacing a Hackintosh (which itself replaced a 20" iMac a little over a year ago), which is currently hooked up to the 20" Dell behind the far MBP; I'm currently pulling my files off of it over the network. Going to take 12+ hours...even with a gigabit network, 700GB is a lot.
The iMac is a refurb 2.8 GHz model. I got it for $1200, then as soon as I got it today I ripped it apart and popped in a Western Digital 1TB drive I bought from NewEgg for $90 and put in 4GB of RAM I got for $25 from Amazon. All in all, a pretty dang nice machine for a little over $1300. I'm quite happy with it so far. Way better than the 20" iMac I used to have.
Attached to the iMac is my Dell 2407wfp; then there's the two MacBook Pros (both belong to work). The closed one in the foreground is my outgoing one, a 2.2 GHz glossy-screen 100GB maxed out with 3GB of RAM. Since I'm buddy-buddy with the IT guy, I got a "stealth upgrade" out of cycle to the newer MBP (the open one), which is a 2.4GHz LED-backlit model with a 160GB drive and 4GB of RAM. I need my 4GB, baby.
Not pictured: the D-Link NAS I also bought this week (will be 1.5TB), my wife's Blackbook, or the Mac Mini attached to the plasma TV running Plex.

I play 200NL and 400NL. I play about 50-60K hands a month.
I use the 24' imac for home, just ordered a MBP for travel. Can't wait for it to arrive.
wow dude, you really observed this setup
or just noticing how glossy the led apple screen is...

I would say I am borderline OCD in some areas, and totally lazy in others.
Small details I take great notice in for some reason, and some large details I dont care about at all.
Rogersmj,
Is that a mx revolution mouse i see in your set up? and the allsop metal art mouse pad? i have the mx revolution and wanted to get the allsop metal art pad as it would match perfectly with my glass desk, etc, but i wasn't sure how the metal art mouse pad handled the mx revolution (a laser mouse). the allsop website talks about using the metal art pad with an optical mouse but i have found no reviews online where they tie in laser mouse with that specific pad. any words would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Nice setup! How do you like the Seagate HD? I mainly use Western Digital but I like the Seagate Desktop 1.5TB drive.

How do you like your Acer monitor? I'm torn between that one or the Dell SP2309W. I have been wanting a monitor but I can't seem to figure out from these two the right one.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses the chin of my iMac as a Post-It board. I seriously have like eight notes on it by the end of the week. Sunday comes along and I clean and organize everything, by the end of the night there is already one or two on there again!
