thanks! it is about all I can currently do. It is convenient for what I have going on, but it makes any kind of decent wire management difficult. The shelving brackets are rated at 240 Lbs each, and I anchored them with 4 1/2" 800 Lb power lags. It is pretty solid...
... though I will admit the 60 Lb. Conrad-Johnson made me a little nervous. It was a bear to get up and down from the shelf.

Truly excellent in near field, my main system stereo speakers are B&W DM3000s and the cheap little JBL just smoke them in a lot of ways. I don't think I've ever heard a better speaker for how little they cost me. I think if anyone is looking for a reasonable desktop or small system these should be on the shortlist.
The only down sides I can see is the mid range feels a little recessed and they are really sensitive to ass bloat if you place them to close to a rear wall.

Now this is something I can get behind. Computers are my passion and soon to be career. I wish I had more room though, I like being spread out.
Computer on the right is running Windows 8.1
Computer on the left is running Ubuntu 14 (linux)
Both were machines hand-built by me, designed with audio playback, photo editing, and heavy video gaming in mind.
Running Bose Acoustimass 3 Series III speakers (sub is out of view) with the Windows machine powered by a Sound Blaster Z and a JVC RX-6000V receiver. The most compact sound setup I could find for under $10.

Ha!!! Hopefully not, as it is one of only a couple successful threads I have started. It is amazing the huge spread of systems that folks have. Some of them look like the control room at NASA!

Here is mine...
I have replaced a squeezebox touch with this Surface Pro 3 usb into an Emotiva Stealth DC1. I am using Roon software, mostly. I have the record player hooked up to a Bugle2 phono stage and then into the DC1 analog inputs. Speakers are Dynaudio powered monitors.
It sounds great!

I've got a new pair of speakers in auditioning for a few weeks before I need to decide on keeping our not. They are GoldenEar Aon 3's. So far, I have been pretty impressed with how big of sound you get with how small these are. The passive woofers on the side really help these small guys reach pretty low!

Passive radiators on the side? reminds me of the bid AR9.

Currently, I don't have a PC, laptop or tablet. No hurry to change that. I do all of my personal Internet stuff on my phone. Therefore, I don't have a computer setup to post pics of. However, I must say, I have been reading this thread and all of these setups are very nice. A few years ago, before discovering AK, I had the audio output from the PC I had connected to an old realistic receiver powering a pair of Sony bookshelf speakers and an old realistic sub. It was pretty good for what it was. Wish I had taken pics. Keep 'em coming guys! :thmbsp:
