I wish I had mousers new computer setup, I only have 2 monitors, and one is a 27" tv.
(had to post this picture, it is my new setup)

my personal experiences tell me:
the difference between 1 monitor and 2 is huge in terms of how efficiently you can work; adding more than 2 monitors is a nice little luxury but isn't that big a deal.
size of desk isn't so important -- have a clean and neat work area is.

ok i admit it, dust is invisible to me.. i live in a world which is covered with a thin layer of dust.  when i say clean i mean clean of all unwanted particles large than a grain of sand.

More memorable quotes from QC:

• Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper.
• If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.
• It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
• It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style.

Here it is. But I have to confess, I tidied things up a little first. It's not usually this neat looking.

my favourite. 

I have that problem but I havent tidied up yet

I can't help myself, but when speaking about tidying up the workplace, I always recall my favorite quote from Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick:

Here is an anecdote about my brother, which, with minor variations, could be told truthfully about me:

Bernard worked for the General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady, New York, for a while, where he discovered that silver iodide could precipitate certain sorts of clouds as snow or rain. His laboratory was a sensational mess, however, where a clumsy stranger could die in a thousand different ways, depending on where he stumbled.

The company had a safety officer who nearly swooned when he saw this jungle of deadfalls and snares and hair-trigger booby traps. He bawled out my brother.

My brother said this to him, tapping his own forehead with his fingertips: "If you think this laboratory is bad, you should see what it's like in here."

ps. once i get a 6400x1200 cody wallpaper ill have that on my desktop 

All four of those monitors on one computer? What are you doing? Dual SLI video cards? I didn't think you liked games that much!

Or is it one of those splitter dealies? I can't see mouser as a gamer needing 2 cards running SLI. But you never know (he isn't that great at fragging people in Sauerbraten, but I don't want to end up meeting him in COD4 and totally getting pwned & embarrassed by him either, so I'll keep quiet on the skills )

Also, updated image from me - this is where I live just about 18 hours a day (the other 6 are in the bed to the left, not pictured )
(The computer has about 1/2cm clearance from the top of the case to the top of the desk area - it does get quite hot, and it all comes back out at me over the monitor)
