My home setup, RMBP hooked up to a thunderbolt display with a wireless keyboard, usb superdrive and magic trackpad, also see a 3rd gen iPad with dock that mostly gets used to control my Sonos system when it's in the office and of course the best part, my chrome coaster!

The non apple stuff is a pair of western digital external hd's, one wireless and one usb 3.0 (thank god for that, so much faster!)a Sonos connect hooked up to a logitech Z5500 set of 5.1 speakers, a logitech g13 Gameboard and G9x mouse for when i want to get my Diablo 3 on!!!

Still not crazy about the external storage solution, would love a thunderbolt NAS with raid 1 and the speakers take too much space and have too many cables, thinking of replacing them with B&W MM-1.

I just finished building 2 tables/desks, a media center, and a self all from Ikea (unfortunately not the galant). However, the only tools I used were a phillips head and flat head screwdrivers, an included hex wrench, and a hammer, everyday common tools to say the least.

I'm not sure which units you bought, but under the description of the product on the Ikea site you can download the assembly instructions and it will have which tools you will need

I have completely redone everything in my home office so it doesn't look like this anymore. Nonetheless, thought I'd share this pic from a few weeks ago.

I've just got to get some LED lighting...That looks great...Does it have an impact on your eyes in use though?

Nope. It actually makes it a lot more pleasant to have the lighting in the background. It's not as intense as the picture makes it out to be. Those LED bars came from Ikea, btw.

The addition of my Thunderbolt display

Here's my updated setup. I've recently added the Apple Thunderbolt Display. I had contemplated putting my MacBook Air on a stand to take advantage of the dual displays, but I found the 27" real estate available on the Thunderbolt to be more than sufficient for my needs. Consequently, I have more room on my desk surface for the residual print materials in my life. :)
