I'm sort of curious: Where does your computer stay? Mine's messy as hell, filled with empty glasses, and freshly microwaved pizza atm :)

Om nom nom, now I want pizza for lunch.

My wife and I like our house to be tidy and clutter free. My solution to this is to dump stuff in my office instead, so yeah not that tidy. My desk is currently covered in bills and receipts to be filed random scraps of paper for scribbling on and miscellaneous tools that should be put away. Every now and then I get motivated and clean 1/2 of it, but then it gets just as messy by the time I do the other 1/2.

My desk is gargantuan so it holds (from memory since I'm on vacation in France atm):
-2 monitors
-2 keyboards + 2 mice (or is it mouses for the input type?)
-laptop
-wacom drawing tablet
-5 external HDs
-printer
-2 piles of books
-1 pile of papers
-photo collage frame
-wireless headset charger

That takes up about 2/3 of my desk, the remaining 1/3 is in a flux between empty and occupied by water bottles, random mail, dishes from my latest meal, etc.

Here ya GO!

Mine is just a laptop on a desk, and the only things I put near it is the phone...So I have no interesting pics for you all.

Gah, clutter. Not permitted!

3 screens, tidy. Tower on the desk and all light up. Sound system in 5.1 arrayed around me. Sound activated cold-cathodes complete the environment.

I think I have the same iPod case as you :D

Also, might as well

I have a lap desk for my MacBook Pro. That isn't used much of the time.

Laptop, on a desk filled with papers, and tons of crap. Much of which I can't remember what it was for.

You can't compete with the comfort of your own bed.

I like my desk

roflmao, i love the fact that your 1st pic is all "look at my clean and tidy desk" and the second pic shows "and theres all the stuff i just yanked off my desk for it to be clean" ^^

Nah, that's just how it always is :P. I love my desk, but that area to the right is a VCR tape to digital converter, a cassette player to digital converter, and printer. My family uses those, not me. I just have to hook it up down here because my computer is the central "hub" of the house. Screw cleanliness over there.

I can't get a picture of the mess, but I can give you an idea of what it looks like.

To the left of my desk is a table, which holds my tower. To the right of that is my desk, which has two shelves on the left and a whiteboard on the right in addition to the actual desk. Top shelf is a couple of movies, a small portion of my games collection (from before I bought digital), and a light. The lower shelf has my alarm clock (which is there purely as a clock for when my computer's off) and my house phone. My headphones are hanging on a thumbtack between the shelves and whiteboard. On the surface, I have a small alcove below the shelf where I have my left speaker and the TV I use as a monitor, with my keyboard in front of it. On the other side, I have my right speaker, my mouse, and a flat power strip (designed to be under a monitor) with individual controls for each plug, which I use for my phone charger, my speakers, and my desk light (the one on the top shelf); on top of the strip, of course, is my other monitor.

eww panda, it's a screen within a screen within a screen!

my computer sits on a coffee table, i sit on a couch, and my keyboard and mouse sit on an outdoor wooden seat in between. this all occurs in a garage. there are currently 5 empty coffee cups on the table, and around 40 empty jack daniels and coke cans on the floor. behind that, on a computer desk, i have a tv lol. i use my computer alot to watch television shows and movies with friends, so the screen easily rotated to face up to 5 people on couches. oh, and behind me is an old pool table which holds a little bit of historical value to it. ned kelly would have once played on it (it's from a pub in his home town)

Hey! You and I have the same tower!

My desk is rather clean right now, because we have company.

Derp Desk
It's an old hand made coffee table... that I pull up beside my futon couch with my keyboard on my lap. I got rid of a desk long ago. I move around too much, really.

This is mine. Didn't have a camera around, so this was the best I could manage.

This is mine. The rest of my room is actually pretty tidy, I just don't clear out the bottles often enough.

TADA!!!



And the complete mess of wires:

Ok. I'll wade into this. Here's my desk.
For good measure, here is my husband's desk.

The joke's on you! I don't have a desk!

...My monitor is sitting on a chair with the tower looming like some black monolith(tastefully decorated by whatever I happen to have been using last) beside it on the ground. In between the chair legs is my Xbox 360. I sit on the floor in front of this, keyboard in lap and mouse on the floor beside me.

I'd show you what I mean, but I don't have any cameras(I hate pictures). Even my phone doesn't have a camera.

Is anyone else curious as to how Gil took a picture without a camera?

@morv: Your desk(read:the clutter) looks like mine did before I moved and couldn't bring it with me.
