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.

I'm using Sun Type 5 with Unix layout:
At school we have these attached to thin clients that run a virtualized instance of Windows XP each. Pretty sad usage for a unix keyboard.
Though I wish they'd produced these with real mechanical key switches. At least the Sun keyboards that I've seen so far all had mushy membrane keyboards; and these are really painful to use for a buckling-spring snob.

Sun Type 5 is the best of them. More modern Type 7 feels very cheap. Type 5 though requires a special converter from Mini-DIN-8 to USB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector

Impressive setups guys, and lot of artistic inclined gamers (musician here myself, but my setup is basically this laptop at the moment - moving to new place), really nice! :D

I never thought that bag would spur such comment though. :O

I absolutely love this thread. Show & Tell for adults...
@jo3fis - how's the ventilation on that Antec case? I purchased two of those for the sound dampening and I find that they overheat.

Not tidied. All the hardware and software you see there runs/works with Linux except for the TI-99 and the CLié (installing Linux is on my todo list). Some real (non-digital) games there too (all run native with ScummVM, GemRB, etc). In the close-up is my current use system; open for heat dissipation. Nvidia 970, Intel Prescott CPU, 768MB RAM (all three overclocked :) The Dull and the other box are in-progress. The Dull's gonna be my Steam Machine (needs low-profile GPU card)

Hi better late than never. :D
Here you can see my Ubuntu 15.10 Gaming Rig.
It contains an Intel I3 Processor , 8 GB RAM and a NVIDIA 960 4GB Graphics Card.
My HDD is a 1 TB Hybrid HDD.
The Case is from Silverstone and contains a Slot in DVDRW Drive.

Super late to the party, but here's a shot I took just now while recording the GOL podcast.
Doesn't look like it's changed much since 2013 :D

My desk can't compete for the coolest in this thread, but I like it well enough. Other systems on the desk are my PS4 and 3DS. I also have a rackmount style server running ESXi hosting several Linux servers, but it ain't worth taking a picture.
I change my wallpapers frequently. I have over 600, mostly gaming type. The last couple of years, I set my wallpapers to what games I'm playing most.
Nice to see the other K65 and Roccat devices out there. :)
