Mine - http://imgur.com/s3rzx.jpg I really need a bigger desk. I had to add an extension to it to be able to fit both speakers, and the monitors have to be rotated towards each other more than I like, but it works for now.

Those are big speakers for that close to your face ;)

They're supposed to be used as studio monitors. I don't have them set up appropriately for that, but they're higher quality than most computer speakers. With them at about half volume, the volume level on my iMac controls them pretty well.

I am very satisfied. So far, I sat for a maximum of 3 hrs at a stretch and its still comfortable. After 2 hours, my legs start getting cold, probably because the blood is not flowing there, after that I adjust the recline and it feels better.

I wonder if you're still satisfied after having read "Your Office Chair Is Killing You"... (looks like much inclined towards back)

I still find this lot better than sitting. The pressure on the back is horizontal. I read about workstations online and most of these here are reclined workstations.

so I hacked together a cheaper one.

It is still too early, I can post how I feel after couple of months.

I work from my boat, currently at anchor off the coast of Copenhagen right here: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll... An old IBM R40, some Philips monitor I got for free and a great view. Pic of workspace: http://maximise.dk/workspace.JPG

What kind of boat? Pictures would be nice.

I ask because I am confused; the mouse is on the left side of the keyboard, but the pen is on the right.

Here's my current desk: http://img.skitch.com/20100503-qshhe5rbqyh4jtxb8hgrp185n.jpg

Made it look weird as an HDR to get both inside and outside showing well enough.

It's a beaut spot, especially since there's a great left-hander visible through the window http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3494/3774135230_63e8b02f06.jp...

That looks nice - which teahouse? (I'm in SC too)

Asana. It's a little noisy, but otherwise fantastic.

I really like their tea, and the atmosphere is very nice. Definitely recommended to any tea-lovers visiting Santa Cruz.
