I bought a large case because I'm awful with cable management, I wish I had a really clean cable job like some of the pros on here.

To be honest I would like that too... but constraints didn't allowed me more space :(

I was wondering where do you guys bought your desk? I've had the same one for a while, but i can barely fit 1 monitor on it. Since i'm looking to have dual monitor and some place to set up my work laptop i need to change, but i have no idea where i can get a good one.

Ikea have some really good desks, here's ours for example (both supporting multi monitor setups),

 

This is the one my flatemate has: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70214192/

 

This is mine which I bought in 2 parts:

Legs: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70217973/#/10217971

 

The best thing about my flatemate's desk is it has a sort of 'trough' for all the cables to go, and a smaller pull-out surface on castors.

 

Mine cost 3 times as less and is still very sturdy, I've sat on it without it breaking. It comfortably supports a 3 monitor setup and as for the wires, I screwed in about 10 cup hooks at the back to hold all the wires out the way. Mine only cost ?30 in total, but for the price it's a brilliant solid desk available in a few colours.

Cleaner cabling? You got to be kidding!!! This already is super tidy :D

 

Maybe it's just me then. :/ I see some of the other rigs on here and to me the cabling doesn't seem as neat.

 

By the way maybe you'd know, are 2 crossfire bridges necessary for 2 cards? I'm reading it doesn't really make a difference, most do it for aesthetics.

I really don't know, sorry! I've never used two cards in a Crossfire/SLI setup

^ Are you one of those people who either loves apple/windows but cannot bring yourself to go fully apple/windows? haha

 

He is not only one....  My brother has 27" iMac and Windows laptop. Depends on what he is using for.

Had to move out of my apartment. :( But I found a really nice 4 bedroom house share, I got the smallest bedroom but it's cheap and very nice inside.
