Very nice!
Mind telling me who made your desk? I'm in the market for something like it.
As a mere mortal, here is my home office setup:
12 core, 96 GB, 1TB SSD, J2i with 2 8TB spinners
38 Dell Ultrawide

I will have to clean my desk area up tomorrow and post a picture...not as impressive as most of your set ups here but I like it...
Why do you have the Mac Pro on the desktop, rather than under the desk to reduce the noise? Or is it like wearing short-sleaved shirts so that everyone can see your Rolex?
It's called a deskTOP, not a deskbottom...
I'm a bottom.
And Apple doesn't seem to use "desktop" to describe the 7,1 - it's a "workstation".

Hell even Apple put the thing ON the desk in the store. Besides - do you see any space underneath his desk?
Apple wants you to see it, obviously. Many people don't want to see it (or hear it), and put it under the desk.
It's all but silent. The HVAC system in my office makes more noise the than the Mac Pro 18" from my head.
If I owned one I would want ”to see it” as well.
Would you want to show off your Rolex as well?

I see you had some loose change after purchasing the 7.1
Good Man!

Do you like it on top or on bottom? It's a good question actually. At the moment, I've got some iMacs that have peripherals plunged into the USB ports on the back of the monitor ~ for data transfers. From what I can tell, the XDR doesn't allow this for it's USB ports. Therefore, I may end up sliding it on top as I still need those handy and stable. I'm sure there are some double entendres in there - but not intentional

As I mentioned it is my home office, so no one else will see it. The reasons are it makes the ports more accessible for plugging stuff in, I have plenty of room on my desk, there is no noticeable noise, and my dog likes it under the desk.
Placing a tower on the ground can cause more dust/pet hair intake than if it were several inches off the floor or even on the desk surface. Based on the image, I can't see much floor space the person could use without jamming their legs into it every time they sat down.
And most importantly..."Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain."
Come on now guys, you're starting to sound like /r/pcmasterrace getting all worked up over RGB lights vs no RGB lights. Or something.
If I had one, maybe. You have to admit, at least part of the point of buying such things is the desire to show them off. If not to others, than to ourselves. I have a Swiss Military watch I purchased at Sams Club after getting my very first "real job" out of college. I still wear that watch to this day, both because I am proud of the ability to be able to afford it and mostly for what it represented at that time in my life. I would love to be a professional that could and would need a Mac Pro, but alas, I am not. If I were though, I would rock it on top of my desk for both reasons I mentioned about my watch.
Nice setup! Can you recommend the Dell 38"? How is the font size in default resolution? Does it have ghosting?
I use my system primarily for coding and YouTube tutorials and find the font size at the default resolution perfect for me and my aging eyes. I have not noticed any ghosting but haven't really searched for signs of it.
That thing is inside his house. You know, I would like to see it next to my monitor if I have one. It looks really nice. Nobody total strangers are going to come his house and looking at his Rolex.
As per my first post in this thread: mine's on my desk as well. There's no noise coming from it, I have enough room on the desk for it, and my two Labradors like to curl up under my desk when I'm working. Anyone familiar with Labs knows what they do 24/7/365: shed. Constantly. That means there's always fur in the carpet under my desk in between visits with the vacuum. And that fur will get snorfled up by the Mac or any other computer on the floor. No. Thanks!
Which saves you the trouble of having to vacuum in that area
Labs are awesome dogs
I have to clean cat hair out of my 2013 nMP every two months. It would be so much worse if the computer sat under the desk...
