Here you can show off what kind of setup you have where you work or do your stuff out of.
This is what I currently have at home: (It is a little bit of a mess, but when you have a lot of stuff and not much space, things look worse then they really are)

Computer is an Asus G20 with a Core-i7 4790, with 16GB DDR3 (laptop RAM :/), nVidea GeForce 670GTX and a 1TB HDD running Windows 8.1. Keyboard and mouse came with the PC, but they are nice.
Monitors from left to right are: Planar PL1700M, Acer AL2216W, Compaq W17q.
I also have a nice Mic setup for voice recording and gaming video recording (not in this shot).
Speakers are Advent (I forget) center, left and right hooked up to amp A on a Sony STR-DE835 with Klipsch 1.1B left and right hooked up to amp B, set into virtual surround so center panned audio signals com out the center speaker and as it fades left or right it comes out the left and right. Quite a nice sounding setup, and better if you have a good EQ setup, the bass you get is pretty nice for not having a sub.
And this is my office setup:

COmputer is an older custom build with an Asus Motherboard of some kind with an Intel Quad Core Q9550 @ 2.83GHz with 8GB od DDR2 RAM and a 2TB Hitachi HDD. It also has 2 video cards (in order 2 run all 3 monitors), one is an AMD Radeon HD 6450 and the other is an nVidia GeForce 6600. It used to have a GeForce 9600...but it shorted out and died. :(
Monitors from left to right are: I-INC iH282, Acer T230H, HP L1706. Keyboard is a Gateway 2000 ANYKEY from 2-18-1994. :) Mouse is a Logitech M-UV96. Speakers are Altec Lansing GCS100s. (I have the most info on this PC because I am sitting at it right now.)

There is currently HP SFF pc with win 7 pro as well as Qnap nas. Because nature of my work, I dont actually have dedicated office space anywhere. I have a laptop and cellphone and have a kind of moving office.
I also have this small "server room" in my house build in small storage room housing other IT equipments:

Noticing the stereo tuner and the frequency it's tuned to, what country are you in?
-
I live in Finland. Tuner is Pioneer F-551L Ive hooked it to PC so that I can record couple radio shows. Ive had that tuner almost 20 year and its been working fine.

@dor123: Nice to see you still use a 5:4 (1280x1024) screen. IMO it's much better than wide screens for most applications (unless your primary computer activity is watching films).
I've got a 20" NEC 4:3 (1600x1200) for about 8 years(?) and it still works great.
Btw. what's the clear globe in the upper right shelf? Is it a plasma globe?
-
Hey what about me? :P I use a 4:3 (actually according to Wikipedia 1280x1024 is 5:4) at both if my desktops, I can't see having a setup without one, while I prefer widescreen for most things, some times 5:4 is just better. Especially at a smaller resolution.
At my old desktop setup I had 2 widescreens and 2 5:4s then someone wanted a widescreen so I had 3 5:4s and a 16:10 (other was a 16:9). But that was just so I could keep 4 monitors. :)

Also @Roi: very nice setups there, pretty cool.
And @dor: very nice simple setup there. :)

This is a plasma globe.

@merc: I know only CRT displays can have higher resolution than 1280:1024 with square screen, as they have smaller pixels than LCDs. All square LCDs, can only have up to 1280x1024, as their pixels are larger.
I think that my screen is also 4:3, as 5:4 is very rare.

Here is the specs (http://www.necdisplay.com/p/desktop-monitors/lcd2070vx?type=support) for my 1600x1200 LCD screen. LCD pixels can be pretty tiny, no problem with even much higher resolutions.
Why are 4:3 screens quite rare is the same like with classical cell phones with mechanical buttons. As most people request touchscreens, manufacturers focus on that. The same with wide screen monitors.
1600/1200 = 1.33333 = 4:3
1280/1024 = 1.25 = 5:4
If your screen with a 1280x1024 resolution was 4:3, you would see ellipses instead of circles and rectangles instead of squares. You can measure your screen with a ruler to find out their ratio.

There are square LCDs up to much higher sizes. They are just very expensive therefore very rare (it cost less to make a widescreen LCD panel with the same area)

Mine is just a cheap ikea desk with my laptop and other junk piled on it.

old dead thread but oh well
heres my current setup.
small vintage desk made by cole steel in the 1960's with my monitor, keyboard and other stuff on it. the monitor is a Gateway with a resolution of 1440x 900. the keyboard is a Packard bell mechanical from about 1995. cheap mouse from walmart.
the computer is a HP with a 2.66GHz intel Core2Duo with 2gb of ram(I should expand it, just lazy) running Win7. I have a 300w PSU, 2 250GB HDD's and a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT 730. more pics below. it runs just about any game that I would want to play including Call of Duty Black ops. its lamer than the other setups I see here but it gets me by just fine.

My home setup has been updated a bit since I last posted it:

That is an entry video for a contest that I did.
