Ikea only has one model that is kind of similar, but it's not available online and there's no ikea near me :(

The only place I know is IKEA, but glenn's lights are expensive! They're touch sensitive.
You turn them on put lightly tapping the side, and you can tap again to adjust the brightness.
 
Here's a better pic of my actual setup...

That's a very good job of cable management especially when you have a clear desk and a fair number of gadgets.
 
Kind to think of it, where the cables leading up to the tv?

First off, thanks for all the nice comments. As far as running cables, I really took my time putting this office together for that exact reason. Being a glass desk, a mess of cables underneath would look terrible. I actually ran all the components for the TV (DVD Player, receiver, even my old PC) into the closet on the left hand side of the desk. From the closet, they go through the back of another closet (right behind the TV) and come out right in back of the TV. I took a while to plan and setup for it, but the result was worth it.

For using the TV as a monitor, I haven't been able to stop using it as a monitor since I got it. With the keyboard tray pulled out all the way, and the tilt on the TV it is actually not so bad. Every little while I take a break and move the screen down to the MBP to give my neck a rest, but its no big deal. That was the lowest I could mount the TV for it to be comfortable to others watching from the couch. Once again, thanks for all the comments.

There's mine, kinda in a compact space put I'm getting a new desk in about a week and a half :D

With all those CPU's and mice, I was wondering if you ever heard of a program called Synergy. It is the best program I have ever used. It is acutally a network-based KVM, letting you use one mouse and keyboard to control several computers on the same network. With my wireless mouse and keyboard, I am able to go across four screens (MBP and extended desktop + PC and extended desktop) seamlessly. Best of all, it's open source so it's free and available at http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/. Just thought you should check it out :)

Brilliant!

As for using it for a monitor, what about getting a lapdesk type thing, rolling your chair back and using a wireless mouse + keyboard?

With all those CPU's.... who created the idea a CPU is a computer....

Yes yes, it may sound anal another one of those posts people will be thinking when they see my post of this.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a CPU is the processor and those would be personal computers...

It's just I find it rather silly when some desk brochures you read CPU desks, or CPU towers. I find it very silly on how they describe such things. :)
 
When I first saw the notification in my email, I glimpsed the words "sticker-ising" and "MacBook". Had me worried there for a sec, but it actually doesn't look have bad.
 
He never said that, but the CPU is like the brain of the computer....trying using a computer with out it....see how far you'll get.

Yes, but you can't physically see the CPU so its irrelevant to call it that.

You could pretty much say the same thing about the memory or graphics card or motherboard. They all need each other to run.
 
I own around 540, I study film so its a major obsession. As far as type, they are all standard DVD's (I'm waiting for a clear winner in the HD war before I jump) and of all types, from TV shows to foreign films.

Great tables, I like the OS X legs !! .... :)

I started sticker-ising my MacBook, to make it slightly less inviting to a would-be mugger.

Why would stickers make it less inviting? If anything it would make it more inviting. Not alone will they be stealing a macbook, but they'll be getting stickers with the deal!

It's harder to flog stolen goods that are obviously identifiable.

Nice sticker job - namely the packet storm, hack on the box, and asian stickers.
