I figured I would make this as kind of an extension to the Share your computer rig topic. While everybody is showing what they have in their PC, what about the setup you've made around your PC? Or maybe you have a fancy Mobo/Video card/Cpu cooler/etc... and want to show it off? Post it here! And I might as well start this out. Heres my setup as of now.
Have my lovely PC (its not actually an Alienware. Just a cannibalized case) two monitors (21.5" and 22"), and my laptop which I use for IM while playing games.

Minor changes have occurred since this photo was taken: The monitors are now Dell instead of Samsung and the router is now D-Link instead of Linksys.

Do ALL musicians use two screens? I used to have a pair of 19" Diamondtrons, now I use my 32" LCD TV instead, but I really want three 30 inchers. Guess I'll have to make do. My case is in transition at the moment. In fact the whole room is, so please don't mind the messy look of things. I've been waylaid doing a remix for a contest and it's all but devoured my soul. In a good way.
Pardon the extremely shitty fartography too.
" So where's the asshole that shows a pic of some really-old PC, or an Apple 2 or something... "Give it time, one will show up.
Didn't want to disappoint you. I remember messing around with BASIC on it and loading games through a fucking cassette tape. I believe my dad still has it stashed away somewhere." So where's the asshole that shows a pic of some really-old PC, or an Apple 2 or something... "
Here is mine. Since then, I've "borrowed" a friends Fatality sound card and stuck it in, and bought a pair of Razer Charcarias Headsets.
Specs : Silverstone Raven RV01 - i7 920 @ 3.9 GHz -Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme -Asus P6T -6GB Kingston HyperX -GTX275 (waiting for new cards to come out so i can make an informed decision) -1.5 TB HDD -LG DVD burner -Logitech x-540 -Razer Deathadder -Razer Lycosa -Razer Goliathus - Razer Charcarias - Samsung 24 inch monitor.
Damn, most of you guys are pretty neat. I try to straighten up every once in awhile but it always turns into a mess again.

Unexpected circumstances have landed me with a third 30" monitor. I'm determining whether or not I want to keep it.
Have EyeFinity, or just one monitor for games?
I just sold my 22" samsung monitor, you can fit four of those to make up my new monitor. Using a 40" hdtv as a pc monitor exclusively and it's big as my desk, not used as a living room hdtv, rather used as a 1080p monitor. I sit right next to it less than a few feet away and these pictures aren't really showing how big it, it goes past my field of vision. You can see how it measures to a console and a really wide gaming keyboard, old montitor was same width as keyboard, now it's like two of them. It's connected with a dvi to hdmi cable, from the pc to the hdtv. Sorry for not showing my pc case, it looks really aweful, however you can see the inside of it. Was going to buy a 27" monitor, I chose the hdtv as my pc monitor and it was the right decision even though it was expensive. Also or my videocard, well that's my videocard cooler, with that heatsink and three fans. Next time I buy a gaming case, then i'll post it.
I don't know how Al Gore does it... :)

" @warxsnake: Why the heck 12GB? I mean there's nothing that wants more than 2 GB yet. Are you using many virtual machines or what? Ò.ó "Well I could use all the ram I can get when simultaneously running zbrush / photoshop / chrome / 3dsmax / itunes / steam+steamchats / ventrilo / various photoviewers for textures and refs / background apps.
I can't work without media/music :(
