come on JBaz, just admit it. You don't care about other people's workstations - you just wanted to brag about your own.....

1/22/2008 11:09:27 PM

Why do you need all of that?

1/22/2008 11:36:02 PM

where do you put your drink?

1/23/2008 12:04:19 AM

Shit, yo.

WTF is the purpose of that small monitor hovering over the middle?

1/23/2008 9:35:08 AM

Why do you have two copies of Orange Box?

1/23/2008 9:38:49 AM

bottom box has EA stickers on it. OB = Valve

$25 on Black Friday, bought two, gave one copy to a friend.
Dell on top because I couldn't fit it anyplace else. It's nice cause I can use it as a TV/ps2.

1/23/2008 12:38:37 PM

How much do you use the top monitor? I used to have a similar setup with 3 crts and an lcd on top in the middle. I never really used it for anything though. Now I have a 24" dell flanked by two 20.1" dells. I'll take pics when I get home I guess

1/23/2008 1:07:22 PM

work, computer has been upgraded

I just setup the layout yesterday so I haven't had time to try this setup out too much. I'll end up using the Dell just to view video's and play ps2. Like you said, novel idea, but I may end up not using it like that. I would most likely have it on the side in portrait mode. I just ordered a new mobo, 2nd vid card, cables and gigabit switch to upgrade the main system. Really been waiting for the new quads so I'll wait some more.

1/23/2008 2:57:29 PM

I'm picking up the pieces I need to move to a 2 box work station

they're both in Lian-Li PC-60s

unfortunately I still need to upgrade the second monitor... crappy 19" CRT

I'm reconfiguring the whole desk soon
pics forthcoming

EA publishes Valve's games for them, well a lot of them.

Kind of like how 2KGames helped publish/distribute Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights 2 was created by Obsidian Entertainment, published by Atari but everyone associates it with bioware (they even have a discussions forum for the game.)

The gaming industry has quite a bit of incest.

here's my work one

1/23/2008 7:49:54 PM

Got bored and posted the roommates too:

15.4", 20.1", 24"

20.1", 20.1"

19", 19", 15", 15", 15.4"

22", 15.4"

1/23/2008 9:56:58 PM

kind of a weak setup for someone bragging...no huge 40+ inch monitors/tv's just lots of useless small monitors

1/23/2008 10:03:52 PM

yeah, I see someone overcompensating for something. Jeff just wants to be the new Tech Talk attention whore.

1/23/2008 10:12:54 PM

^haven't seen you in a while. whad up.

Haha. The title of the thread is "workstation/desktop". Which usually means up to 30". The big hdtvs might be under a thread titled "gaming/media". With computers, its more about resolution than massive size. Those 24"s are running at 1920 by 1200 which is higher than larger 1080p tvs. It wouldn't be practical to have a 1080p 52" at your desk. The resolution/size ratio would suck. It just wouldn't be as clear as having a 24" or 30" at 2560 by 1600. You just get WAY more pixels per square inch with a 24" or 30" than with a larger HDTV.

yeah i missed it. shoulda known, o well.

1/23/2008 10:59:20 PM

I didn't even realize that till you guys brought it up. Good eyes.

1/23/2008 11:04:25 PM

jbaz, where did you get that desk from? we have one at work. trying to find another but no one knows where to get it from.

1/23/2008 11:22:35 PM

^^^ Meh, I'd be happier not knowing. EA is a monstrous evil thing that destroys most of what it touches (Origin for example.)

1/24/2008 5:32:00 AM

I shed a tear for Origin. The Wing Commander series were my PC games of choice during the mid 90s.

But yeah if you didn't think it was Orange Box, what other game do you know of that comes in a bright neon orange case like that?

1/24/2008 9:54:55 AM

^^ yeah, I don't like EA all that much either. They fucked up c&c generals. That game had high potential and they messed it all up. c&c3 is ok, but you loose the feel of the original c&c's.

1/24/2008 10:21:20 AM

I've got a 37" and three 21" and an 11.1" laptop.

My dad has a 37" and a 28".

1/24/2008 5:04:58 PM

just upgraded my main rig with the 8800gts and 8600gt as slave to run the monitors.

1/29/2008 3:01:47 PM

I think alt-tabbing is way cheaper than buying 4 monitors for one computer.

1/29/2008 5:31:42 PM

mine is pretty much an exact replica of evan's

well the display part that is - i'm looking to just get a 1080p widescreen as a replacement as remote desktop can suck with dual monitors

1/29/2008 10:37:23 PM

1/29/2008 11:14:04 PM

I would have your kids if you had one massive synergy2 setup, controlling all those computers off a single mouse/keyboard

1/29/2008 11:28:05 PM

^^Prospero rented 8 monitors just to take that picture and post it here. I could be right.

1/29/2008 11:33:53 PM

3 next to the laptop are running off of it, and the 5 on the glass desk are running off the desktop, and an old 486 laptop running winTV on that 19" lcd above it

and no it's not my setup, but it a close friend of mine (and of gs7) that i helped set stuff up for him before and built him a custom mediaPC... now he's pretty much an at home investor as a hobby, thus he likes his multi-monitor setup because of the ability to watch different charts, markets, etc...

i'll post mine maybe tomorrow night

There's mine. Sorry about the camera phone's shitty quality.

1/30/2008 12:08:04 AM

^^^^Heh, yea i've told him about synergy2.

I use it for my setup.

1/30/2008 12:33:45 AM

he kindly diagrammed it for me

1/30/2008 12:53:05 AM

yeah, almost every investor or broker I know have crazy monitor setups like that. In a fast pace competitive market, you have to be able to view a lot of info at one time.
