Purchasing a G25 tomorrow. Ill post some pics then. 
Here is my set up.
G25, Toshiba 32" @ 1080i, the desk is an old "toy box" that I found in my parents basement. It has steel tubes all around the frame. It was the perfect height compared to my couch. I pulled some of the panels off and just took out the one cross bar where my feet go to the pedals. The weights work good to stabilize the whole thing. It actually works great. *Easy too hide when anyone I know comes over! haha

My setup is nothing particularly special compared to some of the other setups here! But here it is anyway
42" Panasonic plasma
5.1 Sony surround sound
Hyperdrive seat and DFP (with special green string for lashing the pedals lol)
Wow....now that's a cockpit. Jesus I wish I had the money to do that and "SPACE" lol

Get it bought you will not regret it, quick posatge too only took 3 days to arrive from Poland. I dealt with a guy called Dominik, he was very professional and replied to every E mail I sent him.

quick question for anyone who has a setup like this one
with the vertical pillar holding the wheel ... does that post not interfere with your legs. Say you're using the clutch with your left foot and the brake with your right, then you want to apply left foot braking. Maybe it's fine but it's been sort of putting me off going for a setup like this for that reason.

My wheelstand pro has a centre post that holds the steering wheel mount, and it used to interfeer with my left foot braking.
My solution was......
Take apart the pedals on the G25 and swop the clutch pedal over with the brake pedal, this will alllow you to easily make contact with the brake pedal using your left foot, and drive using the paddles no need to use the clutch or that god awfull, flimsy and tacky feeling manual shifter.

It's not a problem
but just in case there are 3 sets of holes so you can move the pedal plate to the left or to the right - 61
Not a setup per se (although it will be in 7-9 shipping days!), just a note that Amazon has the Playseat Classic in blue on sale for $140 shipped today (6/16). Not sure exactly what the difference is between the Classic and the Evolution, but for $150 less, I find myself pretty willing to try the Classic.

I have a playseat classic.
The seat fabric is microfiber. The padding is decent, but not really adequate for long sessions. The main disadvantage is that the wheel mount is a bit wobbly.
From what I've heard, the newer playseat mounting is much more stable, but the seat fabric is vinyl.

I've just upgraded my GT5P setup from a Dell 2407WFP-HC 24" 1920x1200 to a Samsung LE-F86 40" 1920x1080.
I'm viewing it from around 2' (50cm at most).
For sound, I alternate between the Logitech Z-5500 THX 5.1 Speakers (daytime), and the Sennheiser HD280 Pro Circumaural Closed Headphones + ButtKicker Gamer on the chair (late at night).
It's far better to see it in motion, so I uploaded 3 short HD videos (MPEG2 1920x1080i 25.00fps 26Mbps, from a JVC Everio GZ-HD7 Camcorder) of PS3's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue running on the TV:
Enjoy.

I've done a Ferrari skin for the shifter and the wheel center. I've print it on glass paper (photo paper).
