Mid 2011 27" iMac with 32 gb ram, a 27" Cinema display and a core i5 processor I know theres alot of haters on mac but it gets the job done and i enjoy the interface so I dont regret anything on it (besides not getting the i7 version that was out of stock when i ordered).
Someday soon I want to get some sort of raid protected hard drive but for know i just run a western digital 1tb drive.

I dont have enough budget for it yet but eventually I will replace my screen with a 40+ inch screen and add a surround sound system. Im due to change my camera before my computer though so its going to be in a while.

My workstation arrangement changes fairly frequently. This is my previous setup before some equipment was stolen. Will try to get a shot later of my current desk.

decided to hang on to my macbook for a little longer. No pics because I'm lazy and you have all seen a macbook before. Anyways, I have the early 2011 with the 15' Hi-Res Antiglare screen, 16 GB ram, 500gb 7200rpm internal, 2tb External, and 1gb AMD radeon 6750m. I need to reorganize a lot of files/improve my workflow a little, then it will likely be an ssd (though I'm not sure if I want to keep the optical drive, have 2 storage devices, or go blu ray), a decent monitor, and a thunderbolt base for my hard drive (goflex series). Have some random 2.1 Speakers. Will probably also get a usb hub/makeshift docking station, but none of these are going to happen for a while. This computer can handle the ridiculous files my gh2 puts out, and huge panoramas, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

2011 MacBook Pro with high res anti-glare because that is vastly superior to the regular screen.
Removed the superdrive, placed the OG 500GB HDD in it's place and added an OCZ Vertex III 120GB SSD for boot.
On the left we have two LaCie D2's daisychained with FW800 to 8 more D2's that dwell under my desk, they all act as a massive scratch disk.
Then there's three LaCie Porsche drives under my desk for storage, and two small FW400 Porsche Drives to act as a scratch disk on location.
I use all that exclusively for shopping Tanner Hall's face on pictures.

I want your desktop background.
damn i forgot how much it costs...
I bought a refurbished 17" mbp and after like two weeks it was super fucked up, no idea why and i took it into the apple store, they said they'd just replace it with a new one (im guessing it was some sort of hareware issue that would cost like $1000 to replace, it probably costs less for them to just give me a new one vs fix it for free).
So I asked nicely if I could get a 17" with the anti-glare screen and the lady at the store was like "sure!' didnt even hesitate. So she pulled out an anti-glare model and i left the store. I check my stats and I had the high end i7, high end graphics card and the 7200rpm 750gb HD. I got a $3k computer in exchange for my $1900 refurb mbp. I was stoked.
The anti-glare is great though, glossy has a better "look" but in reality, matte screens are the best.

Little update on my own, since creating this thread i have moved around quite a bit, but i finally found a nice spot in my room where i don't have the crooked wall(because of the top floor), which makes space for a new monitor
Here it is:
Macbook Pro 13" with 128gb Samsung 830 SSD, 320 gb HDD in the optical bay and 8 gb of RAM. Runs premiere really good, a ssd really boosts the general speed. No regrets on that.
Speakers, just some old Altec Lansing I had laying around, pretty decent.
Headphones are AIAIAI TMA-1, SUPER sick, they have amazing sound. They are also a danish company(where I'm from) and they are not the typical hype headphones like beats and so on. Worth every penny, cannot recommend them enough.
WD 1TB portable HDD, pretty simple just my external harddrive, that I use to store all my media files, movies and tons of other stuff worth backing up.
And then the other normal stuff, my phone, mouse(Logitech g9x) mousepad ect.
Now I found a plank in the house and lifted it up by two books, in the future im going to buy some legs or something from IKEA just to make it proper. The plan is to get a external display in this case the Dell U2412M, which is a 16:10 monitor and has a resolution of 1920x1200. I would get a 1440p monitor, but I an't afford that. So the plan is for the monitor to stand on that shelf and in general look nice.
Also planning along with that a keyboard to use with the monitor, maybe a mechanical? Has anyone had any experiences woih mechanical keyboards in terms of editing, let me know, otherwise im just going to buy the standard apple keyboard.
The Dell monitor im speaking of:

Just got settled into a new room and got my computer set up.
i7 3770k @4.6ghz
p8z77-vpro
16gb 1600mhz
GTX 650 Ti
1x 128gb ssd boot
2x 60 bg ssds in raid0
2x 750gb in raid 1
2x 1tb in raid 1
Dell 22" IPS monitor and crappy 19"
B&W 602 S1 speakers and a Dennon amp
Premier and aftereffects
This is primarily a 3D modeling rig but it doubles pretty well for editing.
