I'm with Lyle about the pics, but ...

Main Computer:
Intel I-7
16GB DDR2 Ram
Two internal 500 GB drives
One internal 1TB drive
One Internal 200GB drive
External 2 TB drive (1 Disconnected due to not enough sata ports)
External 1.5 TB drive
External 256 MB drive (ancient)
Two internal LightON DVDRW drives (with light scribe which I've never used)
Linux Mint 17.1 64 bit / Windows VIsta / Windows XP (+ several virtual osses)
21" and 19" LCD and Plasma monitors (19 inch is flipable)

And believe it or not, 6 additional computers which vary from (1)an ancient 486DX2 with 512MB ram, (3)mid line pentium series (some amd some (cant remember name but no intels), (2) 686 types (one 32 bit one 64 bit) configured like this for network:

www --- ISP ROUTER -- Landlord splits off this for other machines
........+- the 64 bit 686 (software firewall)
..............| |
..............| + software filter system (one of the pentiums)
..............| | + router to the kids's computers (not mine (computers or the kids, landlords.)
..............| + Landlords computer (not mine)
..............+ router
.................||| | |
.................||| | |.............
.................||| | + 32bit 686...|
.................||| + pentium.......+ All running various Linuxs going a long way back to ancient Slackware.
.................||+ pentium.........|
.................|+ 486DX2...........|
.................| ..................|
.................+ My main machine
And a variety of AB switches as the small network is totally headless.

And WAAAAYYYYY to much spaghetti! Nothing is wireless.

I play with, but am no expert by any means, intrussion detection/prevention and active countering. The excess machines are all "targets" for my various attacks. Some do serve a purpose though. Bit-Coin mining, and several of the xx-AtHome software suites (search "seti at home" for info)

(Should I include the 3 C=64 in my closet?)

And I should not to forget to mention, most of the time only the main machine is on. The electric meter dances when I fire them all up!

Glade you made mention of the power usage of all that you have going on.
You certainly have quite a lot of data storage.
It's too bad that you didn't included a snapshot of your main setup.
I tried out Light Scribe once and wasn't very impressed with it, so I uninstalled it's software.

Sure why not.
Can you include a photo of it's setup?

Nice Lurifax73!
I see you have a Razer Gaming Mouse, an interesting choice of mouse to use with an iMac.

That makes sense and Razer has some excellent peripherals.
I'm sure you're very happy with it and your iMac. :bigthup

Why yes, yes it is! I have not had the chance to do much photography, seems like my days off are always gloomy. I know I can still take pics in ugly weather, but I am more inclined to have the camera with me if it is bright and shiny outside.

That's understandable.
Your camera looks really nice, from what I can see of it.
I know very little about cameras, but it still looks nice to me.
Thanks for showing us your setup 2-ton.

my camera is the low intro level DSLR, a Canon Rebel T5. Let me see if can find a pic I took and gimped. Nothing fancy, just trying out the close up setting, and then cropping and adding a bit of color correction with gimp.

Getting to the 3 C=64 would be too much work.

Photo of main rig, i need to unbury it first, but ok.

The others, 2 are currently having hardware swapped out, but I can get the other 2. Just don't want to have to clean all this mess...

That's quite alright.
If it's going to disrupt things, there's no need to bother.
If your effort isn't worth the results, you can skip the photos if need be.

I'm introducing a new color scheme to my set up.
The new scheme will be Orange and Black, with a little white.
Today I just added some orange led accent lighting strips to the back of my monitor.
I'm also waiting for the delivery of a set of double shot Orange & Black two-tone "Tai-Hao" Key caps.
Which should be in the mail by Wednesday.
My keyboard should look similar to the image below.

In addition...
I'm adding a set of WASD

red key caps to the mix, which will arrive in the mail today.
Once it's all set up,
I'll post a photo or two of what it all looks like.

Wallace - I thought that your new key caps would be purple :hehe

Yeah...
I guess that's what most would suspect.
Purple is still my favorite hue and still my signature color here on GC.
but I'm also very fond of the orange, black and white look as well.
