Today I thought it would be fun to show you what myself and Samsai have setup for our desks and gaming setups, and see what yours are too.
Myself
Here is my little bit of heaven, what I regularly use for all GOL work and livestreaming
Proudly still using my Linux Voice mug.
The corner when my desk sits is also quite dark, I really do need to look into a lamp as it's hurting my eyes more and more.
I'm starting to feel like my desk just isn't big enough. The pull-out tray for my keyboard and mouse certainly isn't, and I don't want them on the top of the desk as it's too high and would take up too much room. Looks like in a few months I will need to look into my desk situation again. This desk also isn't big enough to host my tower unit, as it's rather large.
Then there's also my Steam Machine situation
I do need a smaller case for my Steam Machine, but it also hosts other systems so it has a number of hard drives in it, plus the size of the Nvidia 970 inside has been a problem.
Samsai
Here is the setup Samsai uses for his weekly GOL livestream, articles and GOL Cast videos. The Coca Cola glass is an integral part of the setup.
Sobkas
Sobkas who usually does our Wine posts, some excellent Penguin graphics for us and more.

the desk is an old wardrobe, I will build a larger desk soon

@Sp-lit: Where did you have the arch keyboard from?

... No picture of that yet.
Where did you got that keyboard with the Mint logo? Seems I can only find keyboards with Windows logos for super key.

Study everywhere. And my worn-out old MSI GS70 Stealth laptop with stickers all over it.
Case is a Silverstone Raven RVZ01, runs an ASUS z170 m-itx, i3 Skylake 6100, GTX950, and runs almost all games on high detail at 40 fps or higher.
The i3 is more than adequate for gaming, only notice slowness on parallel compilation due to only 2 dual thread cores.

It's just an expertly matched key replacement. The original keyboard. And I believe the Mint key was bought here.

I see a lot of crammed small desks here. I guess I've been privileged to have such a nice large desk to work at.
Sorry for the potato quality, it's literally the best out of ten my poor old moto G (g1) could do.

My DSLR doesn't have a wide enough lens to capture my full living room, which has the only gaming PC in my house. However, I can tell you that it looks like a big TV with a 5.1 surround system, a comfy couch, a coffee table, a beanbag chair, and Steam Controller.

Hello guys,
This is mine. It is not absurdly beautiful as well as you, but I think it deserves a chance.

Here's mine. The triple monitors are the reason I still do more windows gaming than I wish I had to. I hope one day Linux has support for multi-gpus for gaming and that the games start utilizing them.. I need all the horse power I can get to push games @ 5760x1080.

Everybody's got posh desks. :P
Real men have spent 12-gauge shell casings, bowie knifes, and fencing nails on their desks:
   
Real messy men. Or farmers. Take your pick.

Ain't seen a CRT in a while :DI do a lot of writing on my second screen, and I actually find it easier on the eyes for word processing for whatever reason.
Plus I am cheap. Both screens are second hand. As is my case. My keyboard is from a thrift store.
