Recently I took the time to clean up my home workspace, so I thought now would be a great time to show it off. Pardon the blurrycam, as photography is not my forte, and these were taken on my 3 year old phone. I may try to update them down the line.
Most of the desk comes from IKEA, including the tan lap desk, which was built from wood in the as-is section. My chair is an Ikea Markus, which is great for tall people. The monitor is a 27" asus @ 1920x1200. I use a Logitech G500 gaming mouse with weights set on the left side to balance out my hand. The keyboard is a cheap but usable Wintec scissor key keyboard, as I hate typing on anything besides scissor keys.
The speakers are from an old stereo with a broken amp, driven by another amp which is best summed up as a college project gone horribly wrong, and a fire hazard waiting to happen. Yes, it uses a spliced-in ac adapter I found at goodwill and "adjusted". While making it, I also had the experience of browning out a whole dorm building, true story.
On the bookshelf is my media server, which holds 5 1.5 TB hard drives, which serves as the on-site backup (to complement our off-site backup service, SpiderOak) while also hosting a Plex media sever and pyTivo. To switch between the server and assortment of laptops, I use an iogear 4 port KVM, and although it's only VGA, it works great.

Any comments appreciated!
