My Workspace - Drawer In

Dell 19" Studio Display - These monitors are the best bang for the buck I've ever used. There is also a rope light wrapped around the mounting bracket that is wired to a X10 module.

KRK Rokit 6" Studio Monitors. These are hooked up to a 150watt power amp under the desk.

Team Fortress 2!

Diablo 2, possibly the best game ever

Tons of design software, and music sample packs

Dunnys!

Moo Cards

Apple USB Keyboard. I like the feel of apple keyboards and the thinness. Not the best for gaming though

Creative Fatality Laser Mouse. Grabbed it at fry's for around $20. Great deal if you need a design/gaming mouse on a budget.

MicroKorg Synth

Plywood, just a cheap, 4x8 sheet of plywood

Lacie 750GB External USB Drive, the Neil whoever version. Rock solid performance.

Wacom 16x9 Widescreen Intuos Tablet. It took me forever to track one of these down.

Rope lights wired up to X10 Modules, completely remote controlled. I have them rigged to a motion sensor, so when I enter the room the under lights turn on.

What's this?

Wacom penholder.

My Workspace - Drawer In by duncan_mowatt.

My workspace. Sorry about the cramped pictures, but the room that has become my office is tiny. I needed a desk that would be usable for design work, music, and gaming.
My solution was to build a very shallow desk (it's about 9 inches deep or so) with a sliding drawer that could be puled out when needed, and tucked away
The whole thing is bracketed to the wall, is a work in progress. The best part is 95% of the materials I had sitting around my house.
And if i need to make a modification, I don't feel bad about taking the jigsaw to it.

How do you like the Tablet, I've been thinking about getting one but I'm not sure I would use it to it's full potential.

I used to have one. I sold it because I didn't see the need to keep it, I could do everything it did with the mouse. That is, unless your drawing.

YAY DIYers!

I love using a Tablet. I do a lot of alpha channel work in Photoshop, mainly making textures out of photos. There's a lot of custom painting that's imposible to do with a mouse.
As far as the monitor, the color is great and it was easy to calibrate and set up a profile for. Its the older, better version of the Ultrasharp HD
