So heres the full view of my new setup! It took me a couple of days of desk hunting and probably around two hours to setup - unfortunately i dont have any "before" pictures (which should attest to just how bad the earlier setup was :P )
These are some pictures of my old office workspace - we just came out of a renovation and an office move right now so ill post pics of the new office when things get settled down (read: cleaned up :P )
@Ryan Hey man - Honestly - i WISH i had a desktop and a laptop setup - but im currently based out of Cairo (not my hometown) so i need to be mobile pretty much all the time... So until then - plugging into an external monitor is absolutely necessary (i have one at work and at home for whenever i want to do serious work).
Do you have a blue print of that desk. I would like to build myself one of those. I really like the design of the desk and the amount of space it has. It keeps everything neat and tidy. Thanks.

The monitor is an LG 23 inch
Glad you guys like it!

Thanks Daniel - now the only trouble i have is with KEEPING it clean :)
The speakers are Creative 4.1's - nothing special you should be able to pick them up cheap at any computer mall...

NICE desk - gotta love the white desks with the mac - are you running a desktop machine on that monitor or is it being powered by the macbook?

nice! How do you like using the laptop instead of a desktop? what size and brand is your monitor?
cool lights too!

@Eleasar Chriso
I used 3/4" MDF and then put arborite on the top.
@Tom Barber
I made brackets that add a lot of weight behind the monitors to hold them in place.
@Andrew Torpey
Sorry I don't have any sort of prints for it.
