If my hardware would allow it, I would be running 2 external monitors (one via HDMI/DVI and another via VGA).

The external monitor in this photo is now connected via HDMI/DVI instead of VGA, but it's a week old photo. :p

You should get a blind for that window (unless you only use your laptop at night) - the strain on your eyes of daylight flooding all around (even if not direct) against trying to focus on a close screen which is very dark in comparison will be putting huge unnessary strain on your eyes. It will make such a big difference you will be able to feel it and not believe you never had one. You should not focus on close dimly lit objects with bright day light in the background ever.

That's what the vertical blinds are for. If you didn't notice the image didn't show the other side of the Window.

Ah thank goodness!

As for getting a big desk Ikea do some cheap basic ones - you can get the table top separate to the supports (whether you choose legs/cabinet etc.) they go up to 2m in length x 0.6 deep :)

Full PC/room maintenance...

Just finished stripping out 2 USB hard drives and internally installing / installing Windows 7 / general PC clean internally, mouse(+mat), keyboard and cable tidy up internally and externally.

In total got rid of 8 cables and 1 power strip :) and now have more desk space too since hiding my box down below.

the left one is a samsung and the right an acer... my guess is they are a pair of 22inchers?

Yep you are right on the samsung and acer, close but they 24inch each @ 1920x1200 (x1200 rather than the increasingly common x1080 for the full HD badge it seems) - they were originally both acer and matched till one died a couple of months ago :( luckily still in warranty by the store but sadly the model is discontinued by them and everywhere else (all the acers that are similar seem to be 1080) so they offered me the next closest monitor with the same res/ratio which was actually ?50 more than the Acer I got - its a shame the other Acer hasn't blown up - i liked them matching!

They look bigger now the case isn't on the side cupboard and cables and other bits and pieces are also tidied up.

Stuff you see:

Acer 24" Monitor

Logitech G15 Keyboard

Logitech G5 Mouse

Razer Mantis Mouse Mat

I dont suppose you have a link for the wallpaper on the big screen do you?

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
