Figured I'd do this just once, besides I got the random urge to do so anyways after making a recent addition to my game console collection
So here's what my desk area looks like, cluttered at it's best, but genuinely awesome for a geek like me
That "Poke' Lamp", is a rectangular glass vase I filled with little miniatures of numerous Poke'mon with a transparent CD case on top to serve as a platform for the actual lamp, I'm proud of it's nerdy creativeness And it gives the otherwise short but stylish lamp the needed additional height to decently illuminate my desk.

That main moniter is a 22" Asus, honestly the best I've ever used or seen in it's class. Full 1980x1020, 1080p HD display, so concentrated to that size rather than a huge 30+ inch TV it's more than ideal for me being a single viewer. Successfully I have my PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 all hooked in and displaying beautifully from it at the switch of a button. The Wii however refuses to cooperate with my attempts to rig a way via alternate cables and adapters to get it to go into via HDMI... and the moniter doesn't have component or composite inputs -_-; Only draw-back I've found.
The little 15" guy over to the right though is for pushing my Thinkpad laptop out to via VGA so I can watch DVDs while gaming/computing on the main screen and/or connecting in the forementioned Wii or any other device that needs the older video inputs. Occasionally I'll drop my PC down to a VGA to it if I need to do something there while wanting to use the main screen for a console. Dual moniters ftw always!

I'm a trackball addict I love that thing...

The whole picture to the right is what I've dubbed "The Tower of Power" and is on the ground next to my desk. For awhile I was searching for the proper organizational/storage rack I could tuck away all my devices into so I didn't need to waste desk space spreading them out or try to actually stack them on the desk. Was so happy when I found that short metal rack! It's the bane of my mother's existence because of the "rat's nest" of cables but a dream for me as a techno geek because it gives me easy access to the back of my PC and game consoles so I can quickly change configurations or remove something temporarily to take to a friend's house, etc.
That PC is an HP Compact, very happy with it as I bought it off uBid a couple years ago for around $300 and the parts alone even by today's standards are still valued above that (most notable being the Blu-Ray drive with lightscribe etching and the 500 GB HD). Not the fastest rig, but can at least run any of the latest games at acceptable speeds if I turn down the visuals, so it'll keep satisfying my need for a computer until I save long-term for an uber sweet gaming machine

And I guess that wall of text is all I have to say about this... at least it's all I should say as it's incredible if you bothered to read it all as it is
