I just geeked out to an extreme degree.
I have my primary computer at my desk, 19 inch screen, where I do most of my "real" computing. A KVM is hooked up to this monitor/input set so I can control a secondary machine which runs my media archive. To the left of my keyboard is a space which has my laptop, which also happens to have UFO:Aftermath loaded. So while I'm computing I can play games or watch DVD's on my laptop. To the left of my desk and the laptop is my printer rack, which has two printers, a bunch of junk, my secondary machine, router, hub, blah blah. Attached now to the side of this rack facing me is a 5 inch LCD Screen I picked up cheap a few months ago, with a simple composite cable leading to my cable box.
In the past I'd have had to swing around 180 degrees on my chair to watch TV or play with the PS2. Now, I can work on my primary computer, work on the laptop, and with a simple turn of my head I can see what's playing on the TV or watch something. To the right of course is my phone, a pile of paperwork, etc.
There are enough cables being strun around that my room is starting to look like Lain's bedroom.
I'm definitely a geek. Geek geek geek. All of this input is within hands reach now.

How does everyone else geek out?
