It has developed quite a bit since moving into this place a couple years ago. Starting with this, which was actually quite nice for what it was:

I recently got a second system, extra-large LCD, and most importantly, a new desk. I feel about 90% settled in, just gotta move some stuff around, maybe bring it another six inches away from the wall. The new environment looks like this:

I need to take some better photos but I thought screw it the sun is rising it will make a neat backdrop. Didn't really come across because it's hard to get the view and the computer in the same shot with no wide angle lens.

Gotta say games are pretty engrossing with a 52" LCD, 5.1 speakers, and a fast computer.

The extra system and added desk space has made me much more efficient when I actually stop gaming long enough to do some work. When I'm in the pilot's seat the left edge of the Dell 3007 is pretty much flush with the 52" in my field of view. The 52" also functions as the main display for my older system which I still use for many tasks like recording audio or rendering.

This is also an HTPC for blu-ray. To watch movies I sit back on a couch about 10 ft. from the screen, nudge the Dell 3007 out of the way, and slide the rear speakers back beside the couch. I can hardly describe the increased enjoyment I get from movies on a 52" Regza vs. the Dell 3007.
 
Goddamn.

Man that 24" looks so small next to the 52".

Nice setup! What desk is that?
 
It's a 30" not a 24" !

I'm not sure of the desk's brand. It's a very expensive and high quality desk I received for free recently from a bankrupt client that was closing an office nearby. They figured let me have it rather than someone they don't know. It was their front reception desk. They also gave me a new leather couch. Great client!

Holy crap! Still small! That 52" made that 30" look like a 24" to me. :)
