So far my favorite space has been Edson's; large open room with lots of table space, and a wall of books selves. I have so many books it's not even funny. That's what I'm looking for whey I buy a home this year. Space for my computer, film gear, books, animation disk, and my flat file.
justin, thanks for the compliment. just to make you envious of me, both side (party) walls are lined with shelves for books. this is a house i built for myself in 2006. the studio space faces a small back garden.
regards.

I think my office--which is slightly Baroque by most standards--usually attracts more attention than my computer: whatever processor I happen to like or can afford stuffed into the same Lian Li tower case. There are two more-or-less obsolete notebooks computers on the other side of the table, both currently running Linux for no particularly good reason. My desk lamp is a sculpture by local artist Paul Wolcott. And, yes, that is a skull on the mantelpiece, in a Wedgwood bowl. No, I don't know whose.

ok Lewis...
I have to see the outside...
the crown and ceiling panels are spectacular...
the double solid 8' or 9' doors...
and most of all did anyone notice the curved window treament and curved wall at the end? oh yeah how old is that building? 150 years?
fantastic... oh yeah I forgot about the computer... was there one in there? I didnt notice..

Thats quite a unique workspace. Its very similar to my previous employers office which was a georgian building in Edinburgh's New Town though much more toned down on the decor.

It's under the table, just a nice aluminum tower: Win XP SP2

...I'm going to upgrade it to a Core Duo once Vista is less of a nuisance.
The house is a 1865 Italianate bowfront masonry townhouse with sandstone trim...in other words, a "brownstone." I'll try to find a good outside photo...it's less startling from the exterior. Whoever bought this place from the builder would have finished the interior off as they desired with off-the-shelf (by nineteenth century standards) wood and plaster cornice moldings, and they clearly had a taste for the...shall we say, lushly ornate. Miraculously the details survived (everything is chipped, dented, and in some places even scorched now, but it's still nicely decadent). The parlor was the most useless space until I decide to make it my office..it's 13' wide by 13' high by 23' long with curved narrow ends that are impossible to use for anything. I just toss my furnishings around and pile them up to against the walls to keep it from feeling too much like a viewing room at a funeral home.
In case you're wondering, the rest of the building is interesting in some areas but largely unremarkable...I rehabbed it ten years ago (my first project, actually), and I was just today trying to find the drawings...it's about time to fix up some of the mistakes I made the first time around and make the place more of a home for a family and not only for an eccentric architect.

While I was cleaning inside my nearly one year old machine for the first time, I took a few photos inside and out. It's an off the shelf HP system.
HPm7674n media center pc with Core 2 Duo Processor E6400
2GB RAM
Nvidia 7300LE video with no 2nd output or that Samsung 910MP tv/monitor sitting next to my rig would be attached to the HP desktop too. My first internal hardware upgrade will be a dual head video card and I'll probably rip the wireless card out since I'm hardwired already. I'll probably put something else in the wireless card slot; a pair of external SATA ports on a bracket is a possibility since I have 3 internal ports empty and room for only one more drive inside. I'll add more RAM later, maybe.
2 ea. 200GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives
CD/DVD burner with Lightscribe
TV tuner, PVR functions (love media center XP), FM radio, wireless and wired LAN, etc.I also have a Sony Vaio VGNFS660W for SketchUpping on the go.

I might as well, even though all my stuff is too old to do anything even approaching professional work. Dont mind the mp3 player sitting on the table, im currently gutting it for spare parts, and to see if i cant make the 30GB hdd inside it usable. Also, idk why the blue LED fans arent showing up, they were on when i took the picture
.But, as you can see, definitely not a good setup. Im not even gonna tell you guys the specs. I feel like such a kid among you guys...and im almost 20.

Its all good, as long as it runs stable and runs all your apps. Upgrade only if you need to. I just bought some new stuff too SEE!!!!
diana, I agree with ya...dual screens are the way to go and you other LCD looks so sad just sitting their or get yourself a nice 24: widescreen.

Daniel, you didn't point out the most expensive artilces there...
those degrees... very nice... I like the oversized format of them. and that you keep them close to your eyes to remind you... puts pride in one's work.

Thanks. The University of Tennessee diploma is a big-ass piece of paper! Hopefully, soon I will have an architect's license to add to them.
