Like Mattias, I have been moving studios recently, in my case from the hall into the living room! My wife has finally allowed me to move #1565 into the living area and I now have all my gear in one place and arranged for easy access. The acoustics are much warmer than the hall and the tron sounds great.

Not visible on the video is my upright piano and my Yamaha PSS 270 ( my first keyboard ) otherwise there is:

Mellotron M400
M-Audio Studio Monitor speakers
Korg SP 170 digital piano used mainly as a midi controller, I bought it for the keyboard action, I don't rate the sounds.
Korg Micro-X on top of tron
Korg K61P midi controller used with the computer as the SP 170 doesn't have a USB port.
Microkorg, Kaossilator and Monotron on the desk with Yamaha MG82cx mixer and Behringer UCA 222 sound card. Not visble Behringer RV 600 reverb machine.

I have promised my wife that I won't buy anything else although on the acoustic front I would love a harpsichord and a portative organ and on the electronic front the Dave Smith Poly Evolver looks interesting.

Cheers

Mark
