Posted my temporary set up a while ago. Now onto more permanent digs. Just started setting this up over the weekend and the result so far. Apologies for poor phone quality photos.

It's an ikea bekant corner desk. It's 160cm wide and the corner is 110deep (main bit 60cm deep). Very happy with it.
And thanks!
I've had a few updates since last year's post (http://imageshack.com/a/img633/1502/H20AEY.jpg).

Specs are in my sig, but the video is now handled by Samsung's 65" 4k curved 7150 UHDTV (up from a 55" 1080p, which is now in my bedroom). I wasn't really after a curved TV, but I like it now that I've had a chance to get used to it.
Audio is handled by an Emotiva preamp/processor and 5 channel amp (roughly 260-280w per channel) and Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers. The sub is my favorite addition so far, an SVS PB12+. Took about 80 hrs to break in, but after that and running Audessey to EQ and calibrate for the room, it sounds excellent. Powerful yet blended.
I use the XIM4 with about any game that requires shooting routinely (SP only). It's a God send.
Here is my current setup:

Very nice guys! I especially like your collection Pfeuff
Lil confused about right now. Dales-ish logo is on your wall. Wow, two accounts and arguing with himself.
Its obvious, im not dale. Me argue? So. It doesnt appear that i argue with myself. Just a lil unsure this is not another dale troll.
Guys... it's 2016 now, post your stuff here > http://xim4.com/community/index.php?topic=44394.0
This is mine so far.Best one IMO. Very clean and organized.
Still need to replace the monitor, will be having 2 benq monitors and a little pc.
Elgato capture card and a nice microphone.
What you think so far? I only received my xim4 today and absolutely love it!

See a lot of people using there computer monitors. Guess I'll have to join the group. I understand why with the refresh rate but guess I never realised how much better a monitor is over a tvMuch better. I have Samsung tv with 11.1 surround but I have monitor with 2 speakers and performance is way better.

Some pics of my spot. When we had our second child my office became a bedroom, so I switched to a mobile, height adjustable, standing desk. I've been standing while I play lately and have been sleeping and feeling better during the day. When the weather is comfortable I roll this bad boy outside and play there. Fire up a stooge... you know how it goes....

No one uses their TV as a monitor? that for me would be the whole point.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170404/756581d78ea23d498f52ebfc6c92fa4e.jpg)
I would build a lap board to put the keyboard and mouse on.

Wait... do I see radiators in that thing? What are the CPU/GPU temps like? Going all water cooling isn't a very good solution in the Enthoo Evolve cases... doesn't get enough airflow when you throw radiators in it, so there's a high chance you will cook your whole system.

So it looks like a ton of people here actually have gaming PCs, so why don’t you guys just play on your PC instead of console? I mean PC is objectively better than console in pretty much every way afterall. I for one would definitely be playing Overwatch on PC instead of my PS4 if I had a good rig. However, I don’t want to lose my skins in Overwatch...Also I would post a pic of my setup but I’m on iPhone at the moment and I don’t know how to post a pic here on my iPhone.

here is why i personally think why most xim users don't play on pc. first reason i'd say is that most have friends on console that can't afford a good gaming pc or their friends are to scared to play on pc because of the "pc gamers all cheat" thing. the biggest reason i think is because of the advantage.Well if that’s true then that would make sense. Gaming with friends is always more fun. That would suck tho if you can’t play on your PC because your friends are all on console and won’t switch to PC. As for the advantage thing, I feel like that’s not really why people use xim. It doesn’t actually give you as big of an advantage as people think. At least not in the game I play (Overwatch) I mean sure it gives a slight advantage, but it’s not like it gives you PC M&K aim or anything. You can’t flick the mouse and do fast 180s, you’re still limited to what the analog stick can do.

when we get threads asking how to use xim on pc i'd say it def does gives some sort of advantage. it gives console players faster aim advantage and using it on pc gives you aim assist. it won't make you a god but with practice you can join lobbies and own them. i don't want to destroy this thread with the xim advantage talk tho :)I sincerely hope no one would want to or try to use xim4 on PC Overwatch, that would literally be like shooting yourself in the foot and then trying to run/walk. And yeah sorry to bring XIM advantage discussion into this thread, this is not really the place for that.
I started off as a PC gamer, but have played some console games, too. The keyboard and mouse has always been most comfortable to me. The XIM4 allows me to enjoy console games in a way that feels just like using a PC.
My set-up would not complete without the CouchMaster Cycon. It is so comfortable, sometimes I forget that I am playing games on my couch with a kb + mouse :D. Also, I cannot say enough great things about nerdytec's partner, Steiger Dynamics--their customer service is second-to-none (thank you, Brian!).
Everything fits perfectly inside the CouchMaster Cycon. I have run both of the USB repeaters together as a "tether" between the gaming systems and the Cycon. It takes about 5 minutes to get everything ready to play, but it's absolutely worth it because it's so comfortable being able to be on the couch, recline while gaming, and use my keyboard and mouse.
Thank you for letting me share my set-up!

My setup is in a constant state of flux. My game area looks like a bomb hit it sometimes, cables, controllers and stuff EVERYWHERE! Sometimes I find messing about with gaming hardware more fun than actually playing the games lol
I have the same one. Bought it last week on RocketJumpNinja's recommendation.
How are you getting on with it?
Computer desk, it's a work in progress.
More photos to come when its finished and all set up.

That looks perfect. It’s amazing how pre-built desks never ergonomically fit the person, custom is the way to go.
What's a decent gaming desk and chair? I have a A DXRacer right now... It's alright... The support pads it comes with aren't the best... Might take them off lol
I couldn't find any I really liked, so I had to build it.That looks perfect. It’s amazing how pre-built desks never ergonomically fit the person, custom is the way to go.so true

Great setup.
Netduma ????????? Is it Netduma R1 or one from Netgear with Netduma Os ?
I happen to have Netduma R1 ( white small router ) with alot of features. Recently bought for £149.99 from Amazon UK.
Glad to see others have Netduma too. I thought I wasted my money. Like to use Vpn n switch see different players in Darkzone in The Division.
