Yeah, if I had nice racks of gears, it'd look cool.
But a little preamp, an audio interface and a couple of cheap DBX compressor is nothing too impressive. Plus, there are things I just don't want to see anymore, like my old mixer.
I'm going for something totally Feng Shui here. You guys have seen my current totally minimalist set up, and I'm trying to get rid of some stuff. The only thing I am adding in the room/on my desk is the screen and maybe a control surface.
Some stuff will just vanish. The (eventual) tower will go directly in the closet (with proper ventilation of course) so the empty closet comes handy.
