Whaddya think?

EDIT:

Yeah, yeah, yeah re the speaker placement - its about the best I can do given the shape of the room

I think someone has too many monitors at their disposal. My brain would ache with that many.

Oh, and there seems to be some lack of Windows themes going on on at least two of the monitors.

Otherwise, very nice.

Well, vista running on one of the machines (the rightmost two screens) then MCE2005 on the one on the left of the widescreen and the 19" on the shelves and then server 2k3 enterprise on the 17" syncmaster.

All running synergy.

It rocks.

Mark · 26-02-2007, 17:52

If you're running synergy, why do you need so many monitors?

Blackstar · 26-02-2007, 17:54

I thought you tidying up would be for something like this

what you can't see is out of shot on his bed is the stuff he has 'tided'.
Love my little corner where i can watch things while you do stuff

(ps it isn't quiet, it is VERY warm in there

)
Mark- So he can show off, or keep me amused while he messes with his puter.

Dr. Z · 26-02-2007, 17:55

Synergy cant switch video feeds

Plus, it means I can do properly seperate tasks across my machines at the same time without the hassle of a KVM solution and without having to take time to switch between apps - lets me keep an eye on several things at once too.

Plus it just looks damn cool

EDIT: Paula, my bed has a guitar on it and some clothes - thats it

Mark · 26-02-2007, 17:55

Didn't think it would be. I have a room with 4 PCs. It pretty much heats the house, and that's with only one monitor.

Dr. Z · 26-02-2007, 17:59

Yes its warm but the only noise comes from the PSU fan in the server box - which is due to be changed as soon as I can be bothered. Its not even THAT loud - perfectly possible to sleep without turning anything off and with just me in the room I find the temperature hovers around "perfect".

FWIW, there is 10.5GHz of computing power with 5Gb of RAM and somewhere in the region of 2Tb of HDD space lurking behind those monitors

Mark · 26-02-2007, 18:02

'bout the same as my spec then. The server has 1.7TB in it alone (and will be getting a heart transplant this weekend to end up with a 2.4GHz C2D).

Very nice looking set up

I'm doing a big revamp of my room when I move back to Swansea, won't have as much expensive kit as that though

It'll probably just look prettier and have a sofa
