This is my new setup in the office. I have my work laptop on the desk because I work from home on Sundays. I set everything up so that I always have a keyboard and a mouse/trackball at the ready. The new monitor is behind the laptop and I have my camera right below the television. With the computer over to the left side the sound from it will not cause the microphone to pick up the fan sounds on any recordings. I have a USB bank that I can plug into my desktop as well as to the work computer so that I do not have to move too much around every week.

The new computer has a ton of power and I should be able to capture some really good video with the speed of this computer. At least that is the reason I bought it.
