There's the cheaper Dell UP2414Q.

Really bad picture but my flash won't fire with a manual lens for some reason and my Nikon 28-105 lens got broke.

The mess is conveniently cropped out to the left and right of the picture.

Here is mine, mess and all. Lived in the room for a month lol. Anyways custom Desktop with 16 GBP ram, evga gtx760 i7 3770 watercooled (no oc). Windows 8.1 pro, three 23 inch monitors. Two Dell ips s2340M and the right most is an old Acer from 2009. Mouse is a Logitech g502 and the keyboard is an ibm m2 with original capacitors (crazy)

Compgeke that looks like an old energizer flashlight, I had one just like that!

My new work desktop (yes that mac keyboard is as nasty as it looks used for testing / building macs only ) i have my filo for my laptop tho

The worst Apple keyboard ever! Vile!

it was even more vile before i cleaned it with disinfectant wipes and compressed air YUCK! i wonder if i could get away with buying a realforce on ITs credit card

to be fair when i replace everything with 10.10 compatible kit i may see if matias can do a good offer on a bulk order of 60 tactile pros

Yes, I agree, although before it catches crumbs, it is rather attractive.

I managed to sell mine some time ago on eBay. I was surprised anyone would actually pay money for the thing, but perhaps they are using it as an objet d'art (displaying it in a hermetically sealed case where it can't trap detritus). I liked looking at my Apple keyboard; I just couldn't type on it without keys jamming.

i think the original iMac one was worse but thats just me i guess they are both nasty

my work image is already out of date by the way got rid of the old monitor and replaced it with one that has a stand and does not have to be balanced on a box of paper

some reason the monitor in the photo has a design flaw the stand snaps off if you try to ajust the monitor , lucky it has VESA mounts so i will just get a cheap stand off eBay for it ( even tho its only VGA the older one looks way nicer that the new one i am using now) i have 3 of them that have done that , unfortunately 2 of them where kind enough to smash the LCD in the process

is that mouse a performance MX ? what do you think of it?, i find it ok but i think its not very accurate when making fine movements ( using a sniper in a game or something like that ) it kind of moves in little steps does not move smoothly and generally is a little laggyy. possibly i have just been spoilt by the accuracy of a slim blade i dunno but it does not feel anywhere near as good as my now broken deathadder i wish i had waited and got another one of them may sell it and do that its only like 3 months old

I'm pretty happy with it -- I've had it for at least 3 years now without issue.
Granted, my needs are pretty minimal. I don't game or do anything that needs pinpoint accuracy.
Edit - Honestly, I don't even notice any lag or other performance degradation but I'm not really looking for it either.

dont get me wrong its a well built mouse i like the scroll wheel unlock thing and its very comfortable, it may be something i can mess with in settings

Actually an old Eveready. I have a 2D version of it somewhere else but between the 3D Eveready Captain there and the 6D Maglite I can light up anywhere or break windows anywhere I need.

Hey Guys!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
8GB 1600MHz memory

Furniture :
Desk: Something random I got off Craigslist

Little update...

Welcome! Beautiful curved desk you've got!
How do you like the U2414H?
My Eizo S1910 is dying and I can't decide between U2414H and U2415!

I got hold of a 33 years old pair of German speakers in a great condition yesterday (Canton Quinto 520).
They sound way better than my "old" speakers that I paid more than 4 times as much for

Spoiler:

I love the idea of wall mounted keyboards. May do that too

Here is a view of my home office.
On the far right is the Mac Pro cylinder and a dismantled RF 87uw board. Under the bench is an aging Dell running Linux Mint 17 Xfce. Behind the center monitor is a Mac mini running Windows 7. The current keyboard in rotation is a RF 87ub 55g, which is shared by the three computers via a combination of a hardware KM switch and Synergy software. My refurbished XT is sitting on the parallel desk behind the chair.

They look cool! How did you manage to amplify them?

They're good old fashioned speakers, shouldn't be too hard. Bonus points for a vintage amp with glowing tubes…

Here are my old fashioned speakers/amp - Monitor Audio R252 + NAD 3130.. Old photo, so keyboard is outdated

Here's my humble little setup:

Yep, indeed. No tube amplifier though.. The speakers have a power rating of 65W and I drive them with a 25 year old Kenwood amp (KA-3020) with 2x60W so it's a great match both in power and age haha

I didn't realise there was a way to delete your name off the 8.1 Start screen.

I see a Playstation with an extra wire coming out of it, mind if I ask what that is for?

I don't think you can, I just edited mine out

002, what keyboard are you using ?

The one in the image is an Olivetti ANK 25-101:
