@wux: you need a bigger desk :) if you decide to take that advice, i believe it would rock if you built it yourself, because somehow in my mind you are capable of doing shit like that (right? :)
@subsentient: pretty impressive collection.

Re: show us your iron
re; cats, yeah looks like my mum's cat, getting so old she walks sideways...(the cat not my mum) but still loves a cuddle and a fuss (still the cat, although my mum doesn't mind a fuss now and again)
err, yeah I could build one, it'd be more of a 'huge shelf' with legs, not so good at carpentry 8)
welded steel box sections, not a prob... thanks Rhow for believing in me...
@subservient: you want to take those pictures in daylight, you know, the "big light" which means it's bedtime.... 8P
looks very 'cozy' chez vous, love those throws and decorations. 8)

@Wux: I'm a nightowl. I often wake up at anywhere from 2PM to 6PM and I'm up for 20 hours. Daylight is not always an option.
Bathing in peanut butter is good for the soul. Not the chunky kind though, the chunks get stuck in your crack.

Re: show us your iron
I thought it would be a good idea for me to post my iron on here- I have looked through the whole thread and have enjoyed people's setups.
My laptop is an Asus Zenbook UX32VD. It runs Linux beautifully and is nice and quick. I take it everywhere with me and it has great battery life so is useful for lectures. Specs are as follows:
[*]Intel i5
[*]Nvidia GT620M
[*]4GB RAM
[*]1366 x 768 13.3" matte display
[*]240GB Crucial M500 SSD
My desktop is one that I built a few years ago and have added parts to. Specs are as follows:
[*]AMD Phenom 2 555 Dual Core (Unlocked to a quad core thanks to a nifty motherboard)
[*]ASUS motherboard
[*]8GB 1600Mhz Crucial Vengeance
[*]500GB + 1500GB Seagate Barracudas
[*]120GB OCZ Vertex 2E
[*]3GB AMD Radeon 7950
[*]Xigmatek Aquila case
[*]Corsair H100 water cooling system with 4 fans in push pull
[*]Coolermaster 750W PSU
My peripherals are:
[*]Dell Ultrasharp U2412M 24" monitor
[*]Beyerdynamic DT990PRO headphones
[*]Fiio E10 Olympus DAC/Amp
Finally, I have my HP Microserver N54L, it is pretty much stock aside from the following changes:
[*]Optical drive
[*]Dual port Intel Gigabit NIC
[*]16GB 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX RAM
[*]Akasa silent fan
I use the server for running VMs (FreeNAS, arch linux with game servers and file sharing on, a linux kernel build server and an IPFire router)

Re: show us your iron
^ Amen. My family thought I had lost my mind when I spent hours trying to find a T410 in good condition for cheap :D They couldn't figure out why I didn't just grab the E440 my Uncle offered me for free; the keyboard sucked and I thought he might as well pass it on to someone who wouldn't hate it with a vengeance.

Re: show us your iron
@ darry.Nice another Thinkpadder. (T43 x 3, R60, T400, T430 here)
@ Bones: Damn son, that's a beast! I just want to finger your keyboard. Browns are nice.

Re: show us your iron
This is my primary machine.
2 x 2TB HDDs, 2 x 500GB SSDs, Nvidia GTX780Ti, 16GB RAM, i7-4770K.
It's hooked up to a 27 inch Asus 144Hz screen, and a 22 inch Dell-something
The headphones are Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro (250Ohm) and Logitech g930 (wireless). The battery in the g930 is turning to shit, so I might see about cracking it open and finding a battery replacement.
It's multibooting with Win 8.1 (soon 10), B0rk, Slack, Sid, AntiX. I think there are a few more dists floating around on it.
