My setup:
That is just my desk, PC, Laptop, Router, Printer, Phone/Fax, and a few hundred DVDs on the Window :D
Reverse view all the same, except you can see my draws and the rest of the DVDs :)
ArchLinux is shit, try Ubuntu. And also, you can have windows and linux at the same time if you just dual boot.
Windows 7, however, is better for business and projects. Linux (Ubuntu) is better or personal stuff like Skype and Facebook. :)
