Just dual fans. I took that pic an hour after I finished painting and set the desk up, so I needed to move some air around.
PM sent. It's IKEA's Galant desk. I used the "rounded" extension with some "stand" pieces to prop up the two 24" ACDs.
Got a tip for us?

Holy Crap...give me back my dog!!!!
Labs rule...
Love the setup! What a nice desk.... mine has seen it's days. The computer got 4 upgrades and laptop 2 upgrades and the desk still remains
Alright. I have to chime in now.
My NAS. QNAP TS-639PRO 6X 1.5TB drives in RAID 6.
Apple Time Capsule 500GB (*got the NAS for everything else)
Hope you enjoy my setup and any comments are appreciated
Hey -
I've been looking at getting a Qnap NAS for quite some time now. How do you like yours? I am debating between the 509 and 639 (yours). Apparently the 509 has a better processor, and you can upgrade the onboard ram to 4 GB versus 2GB for the 639.
How's the performance? Do you stream any HD movies (say .mkv) off it?
I am jealous - I want a QNAP!

It depends on how much storage you need. If you can stand with 5 bays, get the 509, it does have CPU and RAM upgrading abilities to it. If you need more storage, and don't have the money for the 809 then I would say go for the 639.
Seriously, if you have the extra cash, go for the 809, it's got a faster processor and more RAM.
Movie and audio streaming works fine in Windows, has some issues in OSX, so if you want to stream, I would recommend that you use a local drive for video and audio files. For storage though and backup it's a great unit.
Do you transport your notebook to and from work?
And if so, how do you find the portability of the 17"? Many people say not to get the 17" for toting around, but I think they might just be weaklings

Yeah, I bring it to and from work every day, along with my Dell E6500 laptop. It doesn't bother me, because I don't really walk very far from my room to my car.
But when I bring it on Vacation, 17" doesn't bother me at all, I wear the STM 17" Rogue Backpack because I can carry both laptops if I need to.
My 15" MBP
Here is my set up. The first photo is from afar, as you can tell, I am burried in text books. The second is just a bit closer.
I love this setup because I can unhook everything and be out the door in seconds. While I am at home, I hook up my; BenQ 20" widescreen external LCD, Logitech 2.1 sound system, WD MyBook external HDD, and my trusty bluetooth Logitech notebook mouse.

Pretty sweet. But don't you get tired of standing when using your computer? I would suggest buying a chair
Heh. I moved it to de-clutter the photo. Nothing special, just a wheelie / recliner / fabric office chair.
There will be dog hair everywhere, if you think it's bad now just wait. Our wood floors have to be swept at least once a day usually twice depending on how often they're inside. They're great dogs though.
Is that Jameson on your top shelf??? Yours wins just for that.
Yes sir. I have a quite a bit of the Irish in me so Jameson is a staple of my household.

Those wallpapers are awesome. Would you mind sharing a link?

I had to resize them appropriately to fit my monitors.

What type of monitor stand is that?
I bought it a few years back and it looks like they stopped making that model but here is a link to the new model.

Here's my setup but it's about to change in a week because I'm moving.
I'll post some again after the move.

It's on interfacelift.com ...was posted pretty recently so it's not too far down the list... I remember seeing it awhile back. Something like "touch of red" or something is the title...
I think it was from Interfacelift, but I couldn't find it in my 10 second adventure there.
Here's another link to it though: A Touch of Red
Nothing some grooming can't fix. I started brushing my current lab with a furminator a few weeks ago lightly once a week (so I don't damage his coat) and the shedding has gone down drastically. The Dyson upright and handheld vacuums I have help too...But true, that's why my desktop is on my DESK-TOP so I don't suck in all the stray lab hair.

11:11! Make a wish! haha had to do it.
Haha... For some reason whenever I look at my clock during the day (and night), I always catch it at 11:11, maybe it's my internal clock or something that's off by 11 minutes
