Thought I'd start a computer related thread...

Post your home/office/gaming computer setup.

I'm temporarily moved back with the 'rents... Big mess at the time of the pic

I only use the Dell laptop and the comp on the desk. The rest are customers or spares. Mostly laptops at the moment. Most of my desktops are downstairs in the shop. No room in the bedroom.

looks like my workplace.... lol

Hah, also sorry for the big picture size...

My work computers.

I have a P.O.S. Toshiba laptop...my desktop computer died

 

[dan46n2]

The one where I sit most of the time.

The other 3 desks around me are empty and occupied by my stuff as well. Its a mess over here.

^I wish I had those screens. I swear I'm the only one in our office still with stupid CRT's.

Eventually you'll get LCD's
For now just sham-WOW them

Somewhere under a pile of toy motorcycles and assorted late bills I have one of these

I haven't actually been able to access it for some time though.
17" Viewsonic LCD floating above the desk on a monitor arm I fished out of the dumpster at work. Underneath it is a USB hub, A LaCie 250GB external drive and a rats nest of USB wires whose owning devices have long since died. And a Doggie page a day calendar.

My work system is a Pentium II Dell (no, I'm not kidding. IS says they won't give me a new one since I burn them up 2 or 3 times a year because of the sawdust ) and a 15" LCD with a vaugely Korean sounding name I can't pronounce.

Oh man. You guys don't want to play this game.

Here we go.

I have four of these stations to myself.

An then.


Enjoy

^You do know about KVM's right?
Continuous simultaneous monitoring.... >InsanE!

Nimijneb, what the hell do you need all those computers for? But boy do they look fun.

 

[adm2204]

I have a CRT for a reason: image quality. That 20" CRT I have goes up to [email protected] Fricking nice. I have a 19" LCD around but I don't like it much. I did a dual monitor setup too but I just didn't really find it necessary, kind of a waste of the extra monitor. I liked the little 8" touchscreen I had for an alternate monitor but I got rid of that too. Dual screen is ok but I usually don't need it. I'll probably eventually buy a better LCD but I'd rather put money into my car or bike. I think in the next day or two I'm gonna buy an ASUS eeepc, does anyone have one of those? they look pretty decent for $300.

Thoughts?

We use KVM's for our keyboards and mice but its only a 4 port box and I run up to six systems on one bench. This particular desk has my personal computer on it so I have a separate KB and mouse for that.

We have to run our systems on different configurations of monitors and we have to be able to see them at all times.

Graphics card testing.

Just like any job, you get used to it and it loses its excitement after awhile.

 

[adm2204]

From my experience, KVM's don't work worth a SH!T unless you buy the really nice expensive ones.

We have Avocent Switchview DT's. I think they run about $300. They work great.

Haha, you really hate them.

 

[Gerard7aa]

I use Raritan 4 port.
Every once in a while they go offline. I have to shut them down, turn them on agin.
Ok for the price.
