We all have our place of gaming, may it be on the couch in front of the TV, at a desk, on the bed. So why not show it off or talk about it. And for some people Christmas is already here, and you might have gotten a new game system, so it's a good place to show your addition to your gaming setup.
(And for people who still don't get it, it's not to show off your new chair, or your new computer... unless you use it for pc gaming, it's to show off your game systems, TV, TV stand, etc, basically where your consoles rest)
You can tell about it, or you can do better and take a pic of it to show it off... or you can do like me, take a pic and tell about it.

~ 1: Xbox 360 S. I wanted the smaller 360 and I wanted more USB ports in the back, so I got a new 360. Not only that but the new piano black finish on the 360 S matches the piano black finish on my TV, the front trim on my monitor, and matches the shine on my Sony Vaio laptop.
~ 2: 32" Samsung HDTV (720p). Personally I think if you're gaming and if you're as close to the screen as I am then anything above 32" is too big. I've also got a 37" HDTV in another room (my brother's room) and when I play on that I sit just as close and it's hard to keep tack of everything going on onscreen.
~ 3: Mini-DVD rack. That is the place I keep the games I play a good bit (or just in case I want to play them). I have a larger rack in the other room that has the rest of my games.
~ 4: Astro A40 gaming headset. When it comes to gaming headsets I wouldn't go with anything but the A40s after using them. It's 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound so it sounds really awesome, I'll use them for all my gaming, use it for movies, and even use them to listen to music. I can use this on the 360, PS3, Wii, or PC (or I could use it on my iPod to listen to music).
~ 5: Mixamp. That little box is so I can talk to people, turn the game or chat volume up or down, and all of that. I've also got a splitter on my laptop earphone jack. One end goes to a pair of earbuds, the other end goes to the Mixamp. That way I can listen to music from my laptop, watch vids on my laptop, or hear MSN notifications while still being able to hear the people in party chat and/or game sounds.
~ 6: Xbox 360 controller. No it's not resting on something, yes it's hanging from a Play and Charge Kit. I want to keep as much stuff off my desk as I can (the A40 headset itself is hanging on a Sennheiser headphone holder, the second keyboard is under my desk, and the controller is hanging under my desk). So I tied the cable up under my desk and it just hangs there. If I'm watching Netflix or in a party while taking a break and eating then it gets plugged in. That way it's off my desk and if the 360 is on then it charges the battery as well.
~ 7: Keyboard. Just a standard Logitech USB wired keyboard. I have it connected to the 360 that way I don't have to waste my time with the slow onscreen keyboard when sending messages.
And that is my gaming setup. So what about you guys, what sort of setup does the members of PC have? And you don't have to go into detail like I did here (or don't have to make it look like a crime scene like mine), posting a pic is just fine.
