Here's mine...
I'm confined to the garage and it's temp fluxuations. The 2 RS2006's on the bottom are, alas, relegated to only providing baseband audio for the decoding programs. Kind of like the end of the B-17s career being used as flying bombs and drone targets. 
Also throwing in one of my flight simulator, a 10 year "work (always) in progress". You can't see it but there is a throttle, stick, and rudder pedals. I have all of the buttons & switches for the instrument panel and a cool USB interface, just not enough time...

Looking good,what game are you using for the flight simulator? Microsoft Flight Simulator X ?

That's correct, MS FS-X. I am a WW II fighter nut but there are no good ones out there now (are there?) that run on Win 7. I'm waiting for one that will let me put the instuments on the 4th monitor in the instrument panel. I was pretty happy with MS Combat II & III but they won't run on 7. Installed a dual boot to XP but can't use 3 monitors with out hooking up the old matrox VGA triple head. Too much work.

Very cool idea of mounting the monitors on the wall, very clean, adds much more desk space

You need the fuselage from a old cessna to put in your garage and mount the flight sim in.

Clean, except for the wiring. That's always a work in progress. With 5 PC's & all the scanner & Ham wiring, the bottom & back look like a spaghetti factory.

The Ramona airport has a bunch of hulks in a yard that I've been scoping out...

I got it at a local "oak" furniture shop in El Cajon. I put oak in parens because it is made of a little oak vernier, some oak molding, and a LOT of particle board! I didn't know that when I naively bought it for an extravagant amount of money 15 years ago. But it's served its purpose well, first as a corner computer desk in our condo when new and I had nowhere else to put a computer (2nd floor no less), and now as a POS only fit for the garage. It sat around for a year when we moved in here, I even tried to sell it, with no takers. Finally I shoved it in the corner and it has a new lease on life. I actually enjoy the heck out of it now.

Good luck with the lessons. I took a couple of intro lessons & love flying, just couldn't justify the expense...

Heres a peice of advice for you....with all those monitors and keyboards and mouses...lookup a program called Synergy. Heres the link - Synergy I have 3 computers I use at all times and I only use 1 keyboard and mouse for all....It is sorta like a software KVM switch....You can share a single mouse and keyboard with all computers on 1 network....I'll be honest tho...its a bit of an *** to setup (and sometimes doesn't work without a network router restart)..so let me know if you need help if you decide to use this....
Plus you got a great looking setup and flight sim...I've been using the good ole Saitek X52 control systems...what do you have?

New Addition!
Well, not new, just put into use the last of my RS2006's. It has a CE-232 interface which when run with Pro-Turbo (on screen, not really readable) gives complete control of the scanner and a text readout of what the freq hit is. I'm using it for Airport/Aircraft monitoring. Pro-Turbo was a very powerful program in it's day, as was the CE-232 from Bill Cheek. You could even build a trunk tracking system with it and I did way back when ('97 or so) and man, that was stylin'!

Cool, I've been mulling over a hardware KVM, I'll look into it. Then what do I do with all of the trackballs??!?? I'm running the older Saitek X-45 stick & throttle.
