This is one of the few threads i have botherd to read every page on.
My set up is piss poor atm and super untidy but i'll show it anyway. I plan on spending about £1500 within the next 2 mounths upgradeing everything so i'll do a updated picture in the next couple of mounths but i ashure you it'll be a drastic difference.
My current set up. why i'm shareing this i really don't know.
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHz, 2GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GT220 1GB, 160GB internal hardrive, 500GB external hardrive. 14inch CRT monitor, 4Gamers Sub attached to some old CD players speakers. GuitarPort audio interface, Behringer MiniMIC Modeling preamp, Sure C606 microphone, Korg microkey midi controller, Yamaya cs2x keyboard, various guitars. Sonar Pro 6 DAW, EZD, Guitar Rig 4 and a bunch of other vst's
At the end of the mounth i plan on upgrading my system to:
Intel Core i3 2100 3.10GHZ
8gig Ram
Nvidia Geforce GT220 1GB (current card)
1TB Internal hardrive
160GB Internal Hardrive (current)
500GB External Hardrive (current)
I know it's not exsactly top of the range stuff but it's all i can aford and i'm pretty certain that the system will be plenty enough power to handle the kind of recording project's i'm after.
At the end of this mounth i also intend to buy a 6 string bass and a Samsung C01 microphone.
At the end of the following mounth i intend to upgrade my speakers, interface and monitor.

My first home "Studio", I'm still learning how to produce so i take it it that i'm grateful to start out with these things
Hopefully after im done with my Live setup i can get some M-Audio BX5as to replace my logitech 5.1 speakers. Also hope to get a interface as well!

I've got one of those Sovtek's too, very cool. 
Crap, only just seen this, sorry dude!
The A7s are lovely monitors, and I'd thoroughly recommend them over pretty much anything in that pricerange. They have done me very well so far.
With that said, the S3Xs are in a completely different galaxy. The instrument separation and stereo imaging is ludicrous, but most startling is probably the transient detail you can hear that simply doesn't exist on most other speakers. You can hear even the slightest compression artifacts on your drums, and the lack of punch of over-compressed/limited mastering is incredibly apparent. Of course, the frequency response is extremely flat, and being able to hear a tone at 30Hz is incredible, but that's exactly what you expect from a high end monitor.
As a result of that they are unrelentingly, brutally revealing to the point that if all I wanted to do was listen to music, I would actually prefer to do so on the A7s (perhaps with a sub if the room could take it without sounding muddy). However, when it comes to really hearing what's going on in a mix, there's no question

The camera on my phone is the worst ever...but here's all set up in my new 1 bedroom apt

Never thought of showing off my setup, so here it is. The first pic was with my old pair of original Celestions T100's, good speakers but too 'open' for decent mixing:
This was the first thing I had to upgrade, so I aquired some very, very, very fkking nice B&W DM-602's (S2 with S1 tweeters). These are easily the best value for money monitors for $200~400. They're ultra punchy and are way nicer then anything KRK, ADAM, M-Audio can deliver for the money. The frequency-response is also ultra-broad. I did a test, and these (kevlar!!!) woofers came to around 45hz audible and un-muddied, that's extremely low for monitors. The top-frequency of the tweeters is around 35khz.
I'm building my new Studio spot right as we're speaking, doubling my deskspace and tripling my screen set-up to 3x24"(16:9) and one 24"(16:10) on top. I'm also saving up for a new audio-interface, since I want more inputs. Also on my list is a DI box, mixing board, monitor controller, dedicated clean power-amp and rackmounts for various equipment

My little setup, no monitors as of yet, just using my HD25-1 cans for now. I'll probably look at a pair of Adam A3X monitors when I get more serious, plus I'll need something decent for when my DAR FBM-PX arrives. I'm using a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 interface - you can't really see it in the pics but it's sitting on top of that PC tower, which has been gathering dust for almost a year now.
That little space is for a Strymon BlueSky (maybe next month).

Expect to see my home studio in about a week or so.
Just waiting on the rack and a few more materials.
Gonna be awesome!
EDIT: Just received my MIDI full scale keyboard; And ordered my 2 Focal studio monitors, Logic Pro 9 Express, Superior Drummer, and my AxeFx II.
Everything should be in within this next week.
My new Macbook Pro with i7 is absolutely ridiculous. Just pgraded the RAM to 8GB and the harddrive to the 7200RPM.
This is going to be ridiculous.

Little bit of an update recently. Added a Macbook Pro and Caparison Horus to the room. Both are stunning.

If you can see my reflection anywhere... I'm sorry. I'm naked. It was a late night. I was bored and... naked?

I've been working with ReadyAcoustics on a room treatment package. Got everything all spec'd out a while back, and installed them today. They are extremely detailed about everything, and the whole process was awesome. Came out really cool, so I figured I'd post some updated pics.

After I put them up, I could notice the difference before even playing any sound in this room. It's got that eerie "dead silence" in here now. It's like a crypt! It literally soaks up everything.
The lows are super tight and focused, the highs are extremely clear, and the stereo image is massive. These bass traps and high frequency panels cleaned up the sound in the room, in a big way.
Now I just need to learn how to mix properly!
