I have redecorated the room/studio for our computers so here comes before and after shots
I forgot to take a picture of how the room looked like before I redecorated, I did take a pic of the room with the old green colour "ouch" This is how it looks like after I put up wallpaper This is how it looks like now, almost finished, I will put the speakers up on the wall, bookcases and others tuff will enter and I will buy a new chair and other stuff like 2 flatscreen monitors and something for the window, notice the floor? The old roland d-50 keyboard started working again ( )so I have started using that again with the small with contollers
Beside me to the left is my wife's computer and my son's computer, I will set up rules on the door that when I do music I don't want to be disturbed and noone is allowed to enter the room
Just a few personal tips regarding minor things for laters... now that the room isn't completely cluttered up:
IMHO don't put PCs & other equipment directly on the floor and try to keep cables from the ground (install them hanging under the tables) - helps fighting dust bunnies a lot and prevents clogged up equipment up to a certain degree.
I would also have left some space over the radiator (or don't you use it?) for better air circulation.
Otherwise this looks like a pretty much promising workspace !
Do we will see even higher output speed now?
I wish I had done this in my place. I bet I could harvest potatoes in whatever is behind my desks (which are pretty much fixed and cluttered beyond recognition)
Had a choir in my heart and had to kill it to survive.
You should also put the speakers on each side of the computer or the computer between the speakers. It's a pretty tricky workflow if you can't work in stereo or just in front of the speakers.
I am actually gonna buy a stand for the computer so it doesn't stand on the floor directly
The radiator is not in use and today I actually did put a cable thingie under my desk for my cables so now it doeas look better
I know this is not the ideal way for music but I have the speakers between the keyboards so I have them infront of me when I am playing for now cause the monitor is to darn big, gonna buy a flatscreen monitor later, then I will have the monitor between the speakers

Yeah! Pretty annoying even if you are not trying to make music!
Due to technical/spacial reasons one of my speakers is upright and the other is laid flat on its side.
So the sound lists to starboard. Well, I use headphones most of the time anyway...

Well so far so good, got myself a flatscreen monitor (YAY) I might get one more so I can use one for the sequencer part and one for the racks and stuff
Only things missing for now is stuff to get my speakers on the wall (also thinking of new speakers) and a microfone stand and a new chair cause the one a got now keeps lowering it self so it feels like i'm sitting on the floor after a while :/
The most annoying thing is that my roland d-50 is not working AGAIN, it keeps "shifting moode" I will get myself a working keyboard someday
On the screen now is my current project "The DJ Rocks the planet(GODS)" In Reason and Ableton Live that will be uploaded to amigaremix soon

Some people still need their daily dose of radiation.
My older machines still have CRTs. There's a joke around here that when I switch all my equipment on, I will cause a constant blip on the radar screens of the nearby airfield.

I am no longer using a CRT monitor. Swung by a shop today to get Sara a mini-laptop, and they had a good deal on a 22" Nec monitors, so I got that. But now that I've plugged it in, I realize I need a new gfx card.

That's the point. I still got a CRT connected to my - basically -gaming computer at home.
That way I can adapt the ideal resolution for each game without quality loss.
