Assuming you're asking me, Im using a few Win7 Desktop Gadgets for cpu/memory monitoring, Google Calendar and Wolfram Alpha search. For the more advanced system monitoring displayed above that and for the weather, date and time applets Im using Rainlender.

It's a Logitech LX7 and It was only about $29.99. It works perfectly, has great battery life and looks nice and simple. I don't game very often, but I do get in some Far Cry 2, Crysis: Warhead and Bioshock - and I have no complaints.
Were you asking me? If so, I'm just using the sidebar. I downloaded a clock/calendar from the Windows website that I use, and I also use the sticky note gadget. I pulled them out of the sidebar and closed the sidebar itself so I could put my Digsby contact window beneath them.

I don't like glare, either Its a computer geek's worst nightmare, haha!
I'm thinking of getting myself a new desk, some wire management things, and calling it "Minimalist Geek" - sounds catchy

I lol'ed... however, some people have sig's disabled since they can be quite annoying.
Though the persons profile would be a good place to start to maybe see if they would have their equipment listed in a sig.

Which LCD Arm did you end up with? I've been thinking about getting an arm for my 2 2709w's.

Lol love the lamp
Please explain how you did this. What materials did you use and what was the process? I have a Galant corner desk and will be getting the organizer thing, but attaching other peripherals to the bottom is a great idea.
Innovative Office Products 9163-12-FM-104 was the only one I could find that was "reasonable" cost and could handle larger then 24" monitors:

Don't order it form LCDArms though, it can be found for around $225-250 elsewhere.
Sometimes I think it may have been better to just get two Monoprice single arms for $20...http://lifehacker.com/237789/diy-under+desk-gadget-mount
I got the idea from the "declutter your desk" link in that blogpost, but the site seems down. I simplified his idea a little to cut down on the amount of work needed to do this.
My goal was to make everything modular. Things that would go on the pegboard are things that I normally don't move around or have to unplug, like a router and a modem. I plugged everything into the power strip so I only have one plug coming off the pegboard to power everything. I also only had 2 ethernet wires coming out of the back too.
All you need is a pegboard cut to size and a lot of zip ties. I cut a piece of pegboard with a jigsaw to fit inside the rectangular frame of the Galant desk. Afterwards, I used some of my zip ties to tie my non essential components to it. You can see that I have a dsl modem, router, switch, power strip, power bricks for everything, and ethernet cords. Last I attached the peg board to my desk by looping the zip ties around the metal frame of desk and the board. I ran the wire from the pegboard along with my other cables through the 2 signum cable racks from IKEA. I can take closer pictures of everything if anyone would like.

I'm just using a couple of cheap, 12'' under-cabinet florescent fixtures available at Wal-Mart for $7. I did replace the bulbs with GE warm white F8 'bulbs' as the light it not as jarring as the included ones.
Whats the bass reproduction like on these headphones? I have a pair of Sennheisers at the moment which provide excellent bass response, but Im always on the lookout for new high end headphones, Im a bit of an audiophile like that

I think it's excellent, though this is my first pair of higher-end headphones, so I don't have a large basis of comparison... It has thump with clarity across the board which is what I was after.
It has 8 blades, each with two 4-core chips - so 64 procs controlled by an onboard domain controller and a very high speed bus. You are right, it's used for modelling applications.
Edit: also I notice the picture makes it look small. It's a bit longer than it looks and too heavy for one person to move. It's on wheels but you gotta muscle it with two people.

Basically a desk-side workstation or super computer depending on how you use it.

Yes, I know it's not plugged in. I moved it over to get in the frame. Other machines are a Xeon workstation and Lenovo tablet PC.
Is this an HDR shot of your office?
