That's just the client monitor. I use the NTSC monitor. I'd love to sell that boat anchor and get another lil LCD but nobody wants the dang thing. lol

Grinner: nice "cave". Where did you get the desk? I'm going to be in the market soon and I like yours.

A client's husband made it for me for 1500 bucks. Awesome deal.

Grinner: I was "afraid" of that... Figured I'd have to spring for a custom jobbie. Thanks for responding. $1500 IS a steal. Now I just need to find a carpenter/woodsmith with too much money, too much time on his hands and a heart of gold...

It was a steal but was quite the buddy deal. Lord knows I cut her many breaks over the years. lol
There are not many consoles out there today big enough or high enough for what we do, if ya think about it. Even the $3k and above consoles are kind of like "eeeh, man I guess that would do." Don't settle. You'll be sitting there more than half of your waking hours. Grab a saw if you must. I can tell you, if you allow carple tunnel to set in, it can greatly affect your career. There are a few ways to get rid of it but only one way to avoid it... proper ergonomics.

My little area
 

Okay looking at everyone's editing areas I'm very jealous of a lot of them but I've decided to post what I'm working with. This is my editing area.

right now I do all my editing off my laptop until I can come up with the money for a mac pro. Then I'll be building a custom desk to hold everything.

This is my screening room: it's not done yet needs new furniture and there will be bookshelves and cabinets framing everything but I have to wait until it's a little warmer to get out in the garage to build all that (-12 today is just a little too cold)

50" plasma

I knew I was missing something. A Gargoyle!!!

yeah I got that as a gift a few years ago. I think he looks pretty cool up there. The other side of my office is full of my Special Effects stuff so there's skeletons, zombies, and everything else. Sometime soon I'll have to figure out where to go with all that so I can add some more equipment in here and not be competing for space.

Here's mine...my wife calls it "the man cave"
Not in the picture is the table with all my production gear (lights, camera, audio, etc.) my iso booth is barely visible on the right.
I am a musician/composer as well as an audio engineer/producer. Video has been in my bag of tricks for about 6 years now.

looks nice and well organized. I'm still trying to get everything I have organized now that I have my office back after finishing our basement.. (it became the room to store everything in)

Robert,
Nice set-up! I have the earlier model of that very same desk. (Instead of the tower shelf in the middle it has cabinet on rt side and file drawer on left.) I am moving everything around right now but I will try and most some pics later this month...

I had your desk at two previous companies and was psyched to get one for my setup...they discontinued it and sent me this one instead....not nearly as nice! Arrrrgh!

Work station
 

Here's mine 40'' Samsung LED and 23'' HP LCD monitor.

Hey John, you should run a beach seen on the big one, free tanning eh?

Haha good idea.. Now I'll just charge my girl everytime she sits on my chair.
