I'd have a rough guess at cephalocereus senilis at top left, cereus peruvianus monstrosa at bottom left, 3 in a pot on top far right as echinocactus grusonii, bottom right possibly a notocactus and it looks like a couple of mammillaria species either side in the middle. I'm not sure about the pot of three right at the back though as they are to small to properly see!
It's been a while since I kept cacti and most of them have probably been re-named since.

The notocactus one might be a lobivia. I had exactly the same plant years ago but it's name won't come to me!
No doubt someone will come along and shoot my suggestions out of the water :lol:

I'd say that Springy is correct with those IDs. icon_thumright

Only one I don't recognise is the bottom right, but thats not to say Springy is wrong.
