Scotts Desk at Eleven80
This is my workstation space in my home office at Eleven80. Those are three 20.1 LCDs. I really love having that much monitor real estate to work with. That is a glass of Shiraz on the left. I have two matching HP dx5150 desktops powering these monitors. The two on the left are my main workstation which runs OpenSUSE 10.3. The monitor on the right is Windows XP Pro. Both desktops sit stacked behind the middle monitor creating a bit of a cabling nightmare as you can see but the cables are out of my way and not a problem. I need to improve that situation somewhat but it isn't too bad in normal use. The angle of this image is a little lower than if you were working at the computers here. Having the two units stacked works amazingly well and is decently attractive when viewed from the front. The center monitor can, at the push of a button, switch from being the second monitor for my Linux workstation to being the second monitor for my Windows workstation. The monitor on the left can, at the push of a button, switch from Linux to Solaris as there is a Sun SunBlade 100 Solaris 10 workstation located on the floor just behind it. I really appreciate having Linux, Windows and Solaris available to me at any time all in one spot. I wish that I had space for a Mac Mini as well. Our plan is to add one in the living room that will be usable with an attached television monitor that will be visible just above and to the left of these monitors. It will effectively give me all four OSs all at once from my single chair.
