Post Your Computer Area, Looking for inspiration Options

@w2kj ... nice layout, I have a very similar setup. I am considering going to a 3rd lcd. Its funny how people get shocked and confused when they see multiple monitors, but I could never go back to a single one.
It doesnt look like you use Ultramon, you should check it out, it gives you an extra taskbar on your additional monitor(s) so when you minimize a window it minimizes to that monitors taskbar not the primary one as well as other features.

Thanx StrictPuppet It's true...people that see that I use two monitors; they always ask how anyone would need two...a quick demonstration and they understand instantly...

I haven't tried Ultramon....but I can change the configuration with ATI's Catalyst Control Center ; it has 3 different modes.

^ You store your CD/DVDs like I do. Those things make the best organizers.

[hamwbone]

they are more of a storage medium, theres no organization about it.

ok I'm too lazy to clean the place up so you guys are getting the RAW uncut version of my office

(it's usually no where near this messy, I'm slowly organizing things intoboxes for a new shelving unit I installed... honest)


My computer, custom built liquid cooled (though it's due to have it's fluids changed). The 2nd monitor is only there if I need more space but I usually just stick to the one screen (I don't use the computer for much). The computer does actually have a side on it... the whole side of the case is one giant window.


My work area, where I build stuff... this is where the Saturn controller was created and you can see parts of the in-progress Achievement Machine.


The rest of the work area this side usually gets used for testing consoles... I got bored of carrying consoles to another room to test them so I bought a cheap TV at walmart so can just hook it up there. It's got a hydra cable with connectors for every console made in the last 10 years... quite handy


^see boxes... I'm trying to get organized.. BTW I built that whole L shaped desk myself


My auxiliary work table which is currently home to my Home Theater Xbox Project, as well as the new shelf that is mostly empty and will soon house my boxes of stuff.


A closet with a whole lot more crap in it

hamwbone, I have those same speakers for my Mod PC, I love 'em! They came with an old dell and I never felt a reason to replace them until I got my Z-5300e's. They certainly sound good for what I paid for them at the time. Nice setups guys, I will try to get mine posted... got the no camera Blues...

[hamwbone]

i got them as refurbs at frys like 5-6 years ago for 45 bucks, i still love the sound from them so i see not reason to up grade. i have optical running to my giant theater setup if i ever need more juice

[SICKdimension]

BTW I built that whole L shaped desk myself

What did you do for the top of the desk? Just use a nice piece of wood and stain it? I built my desk also, but used particleboard for the top and now I'm stuck. I could just paint it, but I'd like to finish it off a bit nicer.

Here's mine. I don't have room for an L-shaped desk, so it's more like an r-shaped desk.

twistedsymphony pretty much lives my dream lol.

[gcskate27]

sickd, whats that screen saver?

[epsilon72]

Twisted, are you actually able to solve those crazy soduko cubes?



This picture is a month or two old, but I don't think anything has changed since then (my PC is in the lower left corner-


I'm actually looking to possibly get rid of the desk..... I want to see about wall mounting the display, putting the center channel on top of the sub, and getting some sorta keyboard mouse cart/stand or something, but I'm not sure where to start looking.

Sorry OP, I have no home theatre equipment really around my desk but here's a shot anyway. Monitors are a 21" HP trinitron (16x12) and a 19" Micron 1920x1200 Note the 1984(literally) IBM M Type keyboard
