Almost Done!
just waiting for my Active DVI to MDP adapters to come in from Amazon so that i don't need to keep switching which display is secondary, all three will work in true fashion off the 5770.
Just need to pick out a nice set of speakers for the desk, potentially a 2.1 system but nothing more... (open to suggestions)

The speakers are great. With the addition of the D1, the speakers becomes excellent at least to my ears.

Thank you.

I have a set of Creative - Gigaworks T20 Series 2 speakers which are pretty awesome, there 2.0 but thats because both of the speakers have a subwoofer built in so you still get good bass, you can see them in comparison to my MBP 13" and Samsung LED 22" on the picture I pose of my set up https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/16834331/
Sound quality is excellent and more than loud enough for a desktop, bass is also great not overdone and is adjustable, as is treble. If you want to spend a bit more then they have a bigger brother called the T40 but tbh I think the T20's are more than enough for a desktop, have been itching to get the T40 for my sitting room/lounge though.

Absolutely shocking photo, I never realised how bad the iPhone camera was until now! Terrible lighting doesn't help. I really want my DSLR back now. 
I might snap a photo once it's actually light outside, considering it is now 12:05AM.
My Magic Mouse has been playing up, so I'm using my MX1100 for now until I get a Logitech Performance M950.
Also got a Dell Ultrasharp 2209W in portrait mode connected through a USB to DVI adapter with my emails and browser open to easily see changes I make to websites in Sublime Text.
I really want to get rid of that Acer monitor and replace it with a Dell U2713HM or perhaps an S2740, I dunno, something that's Dell and 27". lol.
Behind the monitor on my wall is The Cleveland Show playing on my projector, it does get quite annoying considering it cuts over my monitors..

Interesting setup, but the mac minis exhaust hot air from the bottom so i would watch the heat on the display
Hi fellow Dutchman, I saw that you also posted your set-up at Tweakers.net
Very nice and clean set-up!
Here's my share. I have a Mac mini Server Mid-2010 which is not visible in the picture, it is behind the Samsung PX2370 monitor. Below it is a Linksys E4200 router and our ISP's modem/WiFi router. The table's really really small but sturdy. So if ever I am going to add another monitor, the table has to go. Boohoo!

HA! its certainly not my ideal
Thank you! It was easily the best investment that i ever made in college. not having to travel back to our studio in order to use one, meant it paid for itself very quickly for me
yup!

The desk is from ikea. The vika series with the platform made up of a wall shelve and capita legs from ikea as well.
