Looks nice. I wish mine was as neat as that. I use to use dual monitors but they were CRT's, and very power hungry. I stopped using them after the electricity bill trippled! Even now running a server its still double what it was.
I had dual monitors for a while (a 17" CRT and a 15" CRT running off of two separate graphics cards) until I upgraded to one single, nice big LCD that gives me enough room. I'm thinking to buy a second, though.
@ Dual CRT : also they need big place ( ? ) not the correct word of what I mean they are so big.
@ empireum : hmm the left is real vga and the right ist fueled by DVi to VGA Adapter as secondary TFT on my Radeon 9800xt. The only problem I have that my videos playback often shows grayscale videos etc. ist an ATi Bug

You mean they need a lot of room. Yeah, that's right and that's one of the reason why I switched to LCDs eventually.

Hmm, initially, I had a Matrox Millennium G400 AGP as the primary card driving my 17" CRT at 1152x864, and my 15" CRT at 800x600 was driven by an ancient 4MB S3 PCI card, then, I switched over to a Radeon 9100 (but had to keep the S3 because the 9100 can't do dual monitors on VGA and DVI). I had it this way until I got my 20" LCD, which eliminated my need for dual monitors. I didn't notice any weird effects regarding video playback and stuff, but I remember the X11 configuration took more than one attempt.

Looks a bit crowded, but as long as it works for you, it's fine. Do the two older laptops have a special purpose or are they just "for the heck of it"?
My desk, notice: original European version of Pokemon Blue next to the duct-tape, crudely drawn Dark Side of The Moon logo drawn on the laptop, coaster, headset amplifier larger than laptop and the damage I've done to the desk over the years (I airbrushed a lot of the dirt).
1) First gen Mac mini (1.25GHz G4, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HD) running Mac OS X, 20" Cinema Display, MacAlly keyboard and mouse. iPod shuffle 2nd gen in its dock, the other docks are holding a first gen iPod nano and a 5.5gen 80GB iPod video (but these are usually safely stored in bags, that's why they're not shown on the pic).
2) Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000 running latest build of pdaXrom.
3) First gen MacBook (1.83GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm HD) running Gentoo Linux.

I wish I had a mac

I'm a Mac user now too, at least temporarily now that my main PC, my laptop, is dead. This is my Mac, which I scored a few months ago when my dad's office were having a clearout - it's a G3 running Mac OS X Tiger and has one of the original Apple Studio Display LCD screens:
