I made this thread several years ago, and it went really well. i still my self have pretty much the same setup, but I did change allot gear wise, and its of course in a different spot. 
 
- rules -
post a couple pictures or your single best picture, i will pick one from every post, consoladate them and make a pole thread. :) 
 

 
yes, all of that is connected together. i also have a 360 but i genraly dont play it to often so i keep it upstairs on another large tv for movies and netflix. 
 
the sound system has its own sound card and runs off a toslink to the reciever. the z5500 runs off the stock card, and i also run an FIIO E7 DAC\headphone amp via USB for my AKG K550's whcih i sometimes game with, also have the coirsair vengence for chatting :P its quite the sweet setup. i also have a mini fridge behind me so it's a pretty badass setup :)

    My tower is right near the door so when it is open the hot hair tends to go out there... A little trash can under my desk.

    Idea has been around forever. I think when the Lepdesk became famous they figured they could make some money out of it if they put it in production for those who don't mod. Tempting, I may buy it, save space that way.

    LOL that's the exact same desk as mine, except I'm missing that center support piece for the top surface. Other than that, perfect desk for HTPC setups!

    i wrote a very in depth review of the keyboard from a gamers perspective. i didn't cover allot of the none gamer features but this keyboard is loaded with anything a keyboard could ever need or use short of an auto typer.  but short of a mic, it's not very far off. lol

    I built my station to fit inside my tiny bedroom. My monitor is attached to a swing out wall mount, which is attached to the upper unit of the station, and I can swing it out for better viewing from my bed, when watching movies or tv.
