As the title says, lets see your gaming stations and all your little goodies. I've been working on mine pretty steadily for about two years now and am finally happy with all of my equipment so I guess I'll start sprucing the room up some more cosmetically. With all this nifty stuff I still suck at css though haha
Here's my stuff.
Rig is home built.
Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Mobo
Core i5 2500k at 3.6GHz
Corsair 16gb DDR3
Corsair Liquid CPU Cooler
Nvidia GTS 250 overclocked a hair
Pyro 120gb SSD
Seagate 750gb HDD (back up drive)
Silencer Mk II 750w power supply
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
All in a Thermal Take case.
Logitech G510 Key Board
Logitech G5 Mouse (tripple OG haha)
Logitech G930 Wireless Head Set
Logitech Cheapo 6 speaker surround sound
Dual 23" Monitors
The wall mounted one is a t.v. with cable so I can watch while I sit dead in between rounds lol
Motorola Surfboard 6580 wireless modem
Cheapo Acer Laptop (for work)
Cheapo wireless Canon Printer (for work)
Older than me mini fridge for frosty beverages
IKEA "ergo" chair (love this chair)
The room is about 8'x8' and makes the perfect little space for me. 2 of the walls are completely windows so it's just to open them and get the breeze going through in the summer.
In the winter the way the case is located in the desk it actually pushes the warm air out over the key board so it's like a mini heater haha. I do a lot of work and gaming from here, probably more work though. As some of you know I have a pretty bad back and muscle problem so my main goal was to have everything neat, organized, comfortable, and most of all easily accessible for me. As of now I'm pretty happy with it. I laid some laminate flooring in here last year as well as rewired the whole house with rg6 coax. This year I'm hoping to rewire the electrical to at least this room (probably the whole house though), and do more or less a cosmetic treatment, paint and pictures and etc etc. It's taken me about 2 years to get it to the point it is now. Don't mind the little closet in the corner haha, that's my "parts" closet for old and retired rigs.
Now let's see your gaming stations!

Needs moar CPU heat sink haha. Nice build Red. Nice gym as well. My other "man cave" is my garage, but it's currently a storage unit for parts for my rock crawler build and the furniture and stuff at goes in the sunroom while I renovate it You all and you big fancy graphic cards, and here I am with my cute little 250gts ghetto rigged with a case fan haha. I need to start shopping for a new gpu. Was expecting this one to die quickly after I started running dual monitors, but it's been holding strong for a few years now.

Still unpacking the beast (my gaming rig) as I have recently switched abodes and am about to redo the man cave this summer however:
primarly of note a 17th century Victorian desk found in an abandoned farmhouse attic in new hampshire in the early 1900s, my grandmother (avid antiques roadshow watcher extraordinaire) claims it's worth more than my house. I think it's baller status and good luck, however does require restoration or maybe preservation that wouldn't hurt the value. Anyone have any experience with such things before I trust google?

Confirm:is it unfinished with only stain? Unfinished refers to no lacker, varnish, ect... on it. If it is unfinished wipe it down with linseed oil and wipe down with a dry rag to take excess oil off.

haha yes that is my companion cube cookie jar... pretty awesome, huh?
tower's a little small and glitchy from time to time... but it's my first gaming computer, so i'm not too upset about it. can always upgrade! except for my rainbow fans... can't get rid of those
surprisingly, this table is pretty sturdy.. can handle all sorts of rage fits!
