    That's as spread out as I can get them. I'd prefer to have the rear speakers, well, in the rear, but there's nowhere to put them. As for the subwoofer, it's not usually facing forward, I had turned it around to double check the model number. There's really nowhere else to put it aside from that corner though. I suppose I could move the front pair further to either side of the monitor, but that's about all the additional spacing I can afford.

    I got quite lucky with it, my mum's office was having a furniture clear-out and we ended up with a sweet curvy desk for $50 which has steel legs + framing underneath (you could pretty much put an elephant on it without issues). I'll take a wider shot of the whole thing >_<

    Also interesting how you have a headphone AND a headset, tried an independent mic so you can have your HD558's on the whole time? They're the most comfortable cans ever, feels like I'm wearing clouds <3

    I need a decent 2.1 system to make better use of my soundcard, how are your Bose speakers? Good quality?

    Don't go with Bose, go with speakers from a real audio company, like M-Audio or Adam Audio, to list a couple.

    Or you could go for the Pro/Studio speakers/monitors. :P

    Well right now I'm sitting a bit out and I have my feet propped up on the Logisub.

    But yeah, more room would be nice, though this is good enough. lol

    What I really want bigger is the desk/table space. =S

    HELL man that looks COMFORTABLE! D:

    Here's what I used to use. O_o



    Yes, nice big ol' mahogany dining room table. And yes, that's an old Gateway that I used to use, before I built my own, I did put in a new PSU way back when (a 450 Watt BFG Tech one, and a BFG Tech 9800 GT 1GB GDDR3) and that's how it all started. That picture is from early 2010, to show its age.. =S With the WotLK CE mouse pad. lol And yeah, totally got a text message the very second I took the picture.

    Yes it's a mess and obviously my parents have gotten their dining room table back. :P

    Oh btw, yes that's old MMO-Champion!

    haha I believe it man, but still, I bet it still makes you feel like the emperor or something. :P

    If I was gaming on a laptop or playing on a console/controller, then yes a squashy armchair would be awesome because I could relax back while playing.

    But to use a mouse+mousepad you'll have to lean forward somehow and that chair is giving zero back support...it would be really awkward for me >_<

    Actually, last I recall it's recommended that the chair doesn't have backsupport. Makes you prop yourself up or something.

    I do sometimes pull the keyboard and mouse down to use while leaning back in the chair ;-)

    Umm mixed views on this...

    It does... but it's only beneficial if you have the right posture to start with. If your not sitting properly it won't do you any good.
    Personally I like being able to "slump" back into it during breaks, takes your mind off work/game and gives you a few moments to relax.
    Last time I used a chair without backsupport at all... it was called a bed... and it was horrible. There's also the other end where some of the newer office chairs only support the small of your back, which I really hate.

    Well, since people are posting pictures of their desks,



    Also, I've recently added some gear to my setup

    "Old" setup:
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 3.30 GHz
    Memory: 16 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3
    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
    GPU: ATI Radeon HD 7950
    Hard Drive: Intel® SSD 520 Series 120GB, + 550gb shared amongst two other, old drives.
    Case: Antec Performance One P180
    Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 225BW + temporarily an old 17" LG L1715S
    Mouse: Logitech G5
    Keyboard: Logitech G15
    OS: Windows W7 64

    Updates/Additions:
    Monitor: BenQ 27" LED GL2750HM, this replaced the 17" LG L1715S
    HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda, ST2000DM001

    I had 220 GB of photos on a 232 GB drive, kind of a tight squeeze. Now I've got plenty of space! Aaand yes I should get a dedicated backup drive, I'll do that when I can afford it, in the mean time I have the current 220 GB's of photos on both the 232 and the 2 TB drives. And I've got 200 GB of free space on my third drive, that I've been able to free up by moving stuff on there to the 2 TB. So there's room for temporary backups.

    Might I mention to people, he has a Silver Stone Raven RV01, thus that picture is how it actually is, it is not lop-sided. The GPU points upwards with the DVI ports and stuff going out at the top of the case.

    I thought that was obvious from the fact that the water in the res would be fighting gravity if it was lopsided lol.
