Rigs like Cyanotical's make mine, and my whole setup look cheap.
I don't think I posted these pictures yet, so now that imgur.com finally works again...
Well finally he posted some good pictures, got the One, the Rokits, ahhh too gorgeous!
I'll be with you Prixie on having cheap-looking setups! :P
I'll be honest though - I'm thinking about perhaps getting some KRK Rokit 5 monitors to put on either side of my drumset, since they would be enough... just $300 is a lot to part with right now.
This is my gaming room;

nothing protects from a direct lightning strike, (like a strike on the power line outside your house) but where i live all power, cable, and phone lines are underground, only high power transmission lines from power plants are open, but they are not grounded so lighting will strike the tower, but not the line itself, and if it does strike the line, a transformer would blow first, long before it ever reaches a house, if you are really worried about your computer, get some form of insurance
also, from what i've read, an UPS causes a good amount of interference on powered studio monitors like the RP8s
Cooler Master HAF 932 Big Tower
Intel i5-2500K @ 4.8 GHZ
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB (4x4GB)

Do you two live in the same room, just in alternate dimensions? /noticing it appears very similar
We got round this by installing a copper grounding strip on the roof. Granted it still doesn't protect you from strikes at the transformer box (beyond your control) but it sure does help reduce the risk that the power line directly connected to the building will be hit.
We have a lightning conductor that runs from the chimney pots to the ground down the outside wall of the house. We actually got a hit on it a couple of years ago when lightning struck nearby. While we heard a massive crack when it hit (like somebody cracked a whip next to your ear but many times louder), it had absolutely no effect on the computers and TVs that were switched on at the time.
I found these NZXT ones on newegg, the user reviews look quite good. At $28 a pop (+$4 shipping) they aren't cheap though.
