A couple months back Unplggd reader Marshall Dunbar shared his dual screen "hobbyist" setup (which his wife countered, describing it as his obsession). He's written back with an update, revealing a pared down monitor setup, trading in dual 20" displays for a single 27" with a sidekick iPad, cleaning up his act for the arrival of his "iBaby".
Marshall shares: "The original dual display setup including the monitors, iSight, and desk mount will be sold online tonight! It is now my plan to only upgrade/update every 2 years. You can tell by my desktop that I have another addition...my "iBaby"! Yelp, that's a sonogram of our baby (8 weeks into pregnancy). This helped me decide to slow down on my hobby/obsession!"

Don't change a thing, its master piece.
Where did you get the desk?
Sam59,
Thank you!
Aleth,
I got it from Ikea. The link ishttp://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S09843459. It is actually a bar table. I sawed the legs down to make it a desk.
To All,
The eBay listing is at the following link or you can just search "two apple cinema display".

What a great office setup. Jealous!
The only thing that will make your set-up even better will be all those wonderful baby pictures -- though it looks like you've already started! Congrats!
The Neat Geek/Yoboseyo,
Thank you!
It looks fantastic, and congratulations! :)
Looks great. But I'm still trying to figure out what the object is to the right of the iPad?
dvturner,
It is a desk pen set! The link is below.
