Is Your Computer Setup This Cool?

from WinCustomize Forums

It used to be that computers and monitors were so insanely expensive that the idea of owning more than one seemed like 100% excess and luxury.  Plus, how many PCs and screens could a single person actually need at any given time?  Well, costs have dropped, and the complexity of what people do with their computers is continually increasing, so people have started moving to multi-computer and multi-monitor setups.  For us geeks, it's sort of a competition to have the coolest PC/monitor layout.

LifeHacker, a popular techblog, is running a story today about some of the cooler workstation setups members of their readership have.  It's always fun to see what setups other people have.  Here at work, I've got 2 PCs and a laptop.  PC 1 has 2 19" LCDs, PC 2 has 1 17" LCD and the laptop is a 15".  All of them are controlled seamlessly by the wonders of Multiplicity 

Is your setup cooler than the ones shown in the article?  If so, show them off here!

I had a laptop before my sister spilled milk all over the keyboard lol! MY dad had got it from his work and some of the keys didn't work (including the one to type in the password!!). It was cool, a 2000 OS I think. small hard drive, poor graphics, but fun while it lasted. At least it was not broken while my friends had to stay over at my house while the flood we had. All they did was play on the computer. I had one computer. couldn't use my moms, and there were three of us...

Hi,

I thought some of you 4 Wheeler techie's might be interested in seeing your mobile techie 18 Wheeler cousin since my setup is quite different than most. I'm an over-the-road 48-contiguous state truck driver for Prime, inc. and a Noob to WinCustomize. So here are three pics of my config. I can do any office task anywhere. From the mountains of western Montana to the warm sun of Florida. Photos a lil' dark but you should be able to make out the details just fine.
