SHOWCASE: My office and personal space!

I like many people out there am a proper gadget man. My bedroom and office (it's one room...) is a place for me to work and relax, so I thought I'd give you a little tour of my room. Starting with the office space:

Directly to the left is my laptop table. On here is a HP Envy Touchsmart laptop with a Core i5 processor, NVidia GeForce GT740M and 8Gb of RAM. On top of that is my Beats By Dre Pro headphones, everybody slates Dre headphones as being overpriced and indeed they are... But I got these at a third of their price second hand so I'm not complaining. My speakers are a set of Logitech 5.1 Surround speakers, but I forget their model number, they are good though. Up on my desk the most prominent thing is my huge 32" TV which is being used as a computer screen at 1080p, giving me plenty of screen space. My keyboard is a 1990's Dell QuietKey and let it be told, I have not found a keyboard ever that has matched how nice it is to type on this keyboard. I have a Roccat Isku gaming keyboard which cost £70 and that doesn't even come close to the satisfaction of typing on this 99p keyboard from the second hand shop. 

Next to my 32" screen I have 2x 15 inch screens. These are auxiliary screens, one of which is connected to my main desktop as a secondary screen for web browsing while I program, it works very nicely. The screen next to that is simply for testing computers when they are up for bench testing and fixing. Next to the white monitor is my lovely little HTC Shift X9500 UMPC. It's a very under powered computer but is lovely for allowing me to test out mobile applications that I develop (I may do a very outdated review on this at some point).  At the very far right of my desk is a small Compaq Presario desktop computer which is used as a PXE server for testing computers and a mini web server for school projects and hosting files I may need in school (I access this through VNC on my main screen). 

Next is the leisure area of my room:

To the very far right is where the majority of my unused crap is, a didgeridoo, some Sanyo speakers and spare shelving (boring stuff..). To the distance is a Tannoy Mercury speaker, I have two of these and they sound IMPECCABLE.  Next are my two game stands, one is full of PS3 games (44 in total) and the one next to it is full of NES and Atari 2600 games, the NES is on top of the taller rack. My TV unit as on it (working from the right): XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3, 50 Inch Samsung Plasma TV and a Dell Dimension 3100C (of which I did a strip down here: http://scotechnologyofficial.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/dell-dimension-3100c-strip-down-and.html). 

Connected to the Dell is a 160Gb external hard drive for storing all my media. In the cabinet there is: A HP laptop from days gone by, Technics separates system and all of my XBOX 360 games. 

That's my home office. There are other little things like:

• My office is networked wired not wireless, giving me a small layer of extra security. This is done with the use of a secondary sky hub and power-line adapter. I know this doesn't protect internet traffic, but at least it protects my internal traffic. 
• My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, a fantastic bit of kit.
• My iPad is hiding somewhere, I use this mostly for watching YouTube in bed and reading.
