The product depth is 65cm and I feel as though I have more than enough room for my needs. As you can see from this photo, there is more than enough room depth-wise for a keyboard, mouse and even a notebook or something if you work with paper.
Got a tip for us?

Love the desk like I said. Thinking about going to Ikea any day now just to see it. I'm going to university this fall, I think I will place the display a little bit to the left and have a clean area for papers and whatnot to the right.
Is the Eames chair authentic?
Ha! No, Good eye though. When I bought it a 2 or 3 years ago I didn't have any idea what an Eames chair was. I had seen the style in a tv show or movie and hunted it down. Found this one online somewhere for $200
That being said it's been a great chair and actually very comfortable considering I spend at least 8 hours a day in it.
I am fairly certain the real version of this chair costs considerably more but for now I am really happy with it so I don't think I would upgrade anytime soon.
Yeah they cost a couple of thousands. Original color is black. They appear in all kind of movies and series, the true desk chair!
Any chance of possibly sharing a link of where you got it? I've been looking everywhere for a nice quality replica of this chair..
Sweet man, loving the random alloy on the floor. Digging the clutter free work space.
A question for those with multiple Thunderbolt/Cinema display setup: If you start a caming-session on MSN/Skype/Whatever, how will it know which display to use the cam from? 
I finally get to post my own. I've been looking at all of yours for weeks, going insane waiting for a new iMac to show up. It turns out that I found a slightly used, fully upgraded 27" iMac for the right price. I tried it with two 24" monitors for a while, but didn't like the resolution differences, so picked up a refurb 27" Thunderbolt display. Here's the result:
My Dream Machine
Specs:
27" iMac 3.4ghz I7 with 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD, 2 TB internal (bootcamp)
27" Thunderbolt Display
Promise Pegasus R6 12TB Thunderbolt RAID 5 (my data drive)
Mediasonic Proraid HFR2-SU3S2FW 12TB FW800 RAID 5 (for Time Machine)
NewerTechnology Voyager HD dock (USB)
CyberPower 1500PFCLCD (sinewave) UPS
ScanSnap S1500M scanner
D-Link 8 port powered USB hub
Pioneer external blu-ray writer
Logitech Z5500 speakers (digital optical connection)
The one thing I am a bit disappointed with is that the cables for the Mediasonic are too short to run around the back, so I had to come over the front with them. Alternatively, I guess I could place the whole unit behind the display, but I kinda (for now) like it up where I can see all the flashing lights and know what's going on. It's only Firewire 800, which isn't in the same universe as the Thunderbolt Pegasus unit, but it works good for Time Machine.

Two TBD + iMac would look awesome there.
It has crossed my mind
This is as close as I got to that (before I got the Thunderbolt display). The 27" iMac with two 24" MVA Benq monitors. It looks pretty cool, but I find the two 27" displays a lot more useful. Mind you, if they come out with a new Thunderbolt display that has USB 3.0 ports in it, maybe that can be enough of an excuse to get a third one 
I can't believe you bought a Mac Mini when you could have gotten a more powerful iMac at almost the same price.

I <3 mine.
[edit] Oh and the glare is really not as bad as that pic shows. Bad background lighting for pics is all.

2 Displays? But why?
Yup. Got it here: http://www.dualmonitorbackgrounds.com/?userwidth=5120&userheight=1440
That one is called "Breathing Creativity".
You just made me drool !!
WINNER !
Thanks dude, I really love my config. Work most of the time from home using technical computing languages R and Matlab. Having multi-screen config with a notebook is a really amazing idea, worths the bucks paid for it!

Actually wanted to but unfortunately not. For the Macbook Screen I just used a ver cool pic from modern Paris - La Défense from Internet. Next time I go to a cool place will try to get a pic. wide enough that fits in all my screens.
Cheers!
