Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

I don't know, habit I guess? The ports on the keyboard don't provide as much power as the ones at the back so I generally have the ones at the back for things like hard drives etc.

At least it only uses one cable to power the hubs right? I have a DSI SMK-88 that has two cables so takes up two ports on the back of the iMac, one to power the board and one to power the single hub on the board (not dual or tri hubs, just the one...). If it wasn't for the blue switches in it I'd sell it on.

I can't believe the number of people that cover their desks with these giant mats. It's like people who buy lovely wooden tables for their kitchen then cover them with tacky plastic protectors.

You too would be using one of you had a £400 desk.

They serve multiple uses from an excellent mousing surface to a tabletop protector from wear when mousing over several years and as a detail work surface (I use mine for soldering on and working on electrical components when I'm in a DIY mood, for example.).

They're also very comfortable supports for your hands and wrists while typing.

Aye, does spoil the aesthetic of the desk imo. Why would you need a whole mat anyway? what ever was wrong with the standard mousemat :p

I can't stand them and prefer to have a wooden surface.

I have one, although I have removed it because it just collects dirt and dust and while it protects the desk surface it does ruin the aesthetic of the desk.

No I wouldn't, I have an £800 kitchen table and I have chosen not to cover it up as it looks nice. You spent £400 on a desk then covered it with some cheap protective surface? How about, I don't know, soldering somewhere else...? With all that money you spent on your PC desk you could have bought a cheap collapsable workbench and not worried about spilling solder somewhere expensive.
 
As above, Uni setup. I actually quite like this for size!

Basically a cheap work surface spanned across two filing cabinets. Desk is the entire width of the room, probably about 3.5m
