I never got around to posting pictures of the completed computer I finished building almost a year ago (though I did post some progress pics). Taken with the camera on my new cell phone as my regular digital camera didn't want to work. Things are a bit dusty; I need some canned air...
Wide shot. The Xbox 360 on the left is connected to the monitor via HDMI, so a simple button press and I can swap between computer and console. On the shelf below the *gasp* VCR is an original Xbox that used to be hooked up to the stereo, also on the left, and the television that, until a few weeks ago, had gone unused for about half a year.
A bit closer. The subwoofer is at my feet as I sit there; I have 5.1 speakers that are at the four corners of the room (though the computer isn't centered, I've done some tweaking to help offset this).
The case! That which is the only part that has previously had pictures on here, I believe. In addition to the Black Mesa parking permit, I've added an Aperture Science one. The plugs in front are coming from the 360; I have awesome audio as well as video from the console. That's also why I don't close the front case door, which is fine, as it makes a nice headphone hangar.
It's hard to tell which gets more attention at LANs: the case or the monitor. 24". Did Composite video from the Xbox while at school, before I got the 360. Has a firmware issue where HDMI overscans by 5%, but I live with it. The stand is nice and peculiar and makes a perfect alcove for the keyboard to rest in. Not pictured is the wired remote for my speakers just to the left (desktop configuration, minus junk, left to right: speaker volume [and other] remote, keyboard, mouse). Pictured is the wireless remote for the sound card box on the case, good for watching DVDs and such.
So, yeah. That's Jasmine. About time I got some pics up!

Okay, might be time to post mine aswell, after all this time.
So, as some here know, I did the whole mac-migration about 6 months ago, upgrading to a Power Mac G4 MDD running Leopard 10.5.4. Me and my family and also moved to a bigger place about a month ago, giving me proper place for my setup. And so I present;
Showcasing my entire suite, with a Samsung 22" Widescreen monitor, and a 20" Widescreen Apple Cinema Display (Both running at 1680x1050). The tablet nearly showing under the cinema display is a "TRUST" somethingcrappynotworkinginosxatall thing, so I choose to not properly display it, nor use it. The speaker thing infront of the monitors is a Logitech EasyCall, that controls skype, and contains a microphone. Works like a charm for recording those tutorials. The blue lamp doesn't work anymore, it's just not in my imminent line of sight, so I keep on forgetting to throw it away. Also notice the collectors mug from the comic "Ponds"(it's norwegian, so you're forgiven if you don't know of it)
I know it's a bit weird, but my primary monitor is the Samsung, because size DOES matter. A quick grab from it, bragging of my CS3 Design Premium and AE software, as well as Cinema 4D, screenflow, and the obligatory GarageBand, which is part of iLife '08.
Yeah, that's right. I'm not a part of that whole "right-clicker" community. I use my Apple Pro mouse and keyboard with passion and.... well, I just like em. Also note the über-pro mousepad.
A proper close-up of the good old G4 MDD Case. The model is a late 2002 Power Mac G4 Mirrored Door Drives. at the time, the most expensive in Apple's line of products. When I got it, it was stacked with OS 9.2, which is the by far funniest OS I've ever had the privilege of using. I mean, there was a sound for every single thing you clicked, highlighted or scrolled. IMO, that's cool! :P Anyway, moving on.
Front-view of the case, subwoofer, and shelf with some stuff.
Close up of the shelf, with both OS X 10.5 Leopard and the iPhone 3G box.
Almost done now, this is the printer I got. It's not top of the line, obviously, but the results of the print are damn near perfect, as long as the dpi in Illustrator/PS is set to 150/300. Anyways, notice the little red car? here it is in close-up.
Yeah, that's right, it's a USB mouse

Two notes: awesome mouse, and move that subwoofer. That close to your case, especially where the hard drives are, could be bad. This is at least the second, perhaps third warning in this thread about this kind of thing :P

It's de-magnetized. I'll be allright. Plus, there's not been an issue yet. Thanks for the tip though.
