Heck, I have more stuff to play with at work than you guys care to see.
This was a whille back while I was getting to set some hardware standards for work.
I also got a crapload of Dell Workstations to test 490,690,670,470,380,390.

Oh and some dual core GX620's which soon die off and the AMD powered 740's and Core 2 powered 745 replace.
I have 4 laptops at home and 4 gaming PC's. I have 4 X1950XTX's on the way.

I use web shots for my desktop with about a thousand pics that cycle at regular intervals. It's the only program I have running all the time besides my virus protection. I put some home stuff on there too just to keep in personal. My offices pace is an undersized computer desk and a TV tray for my printer. The book case that I use for storage is the same one that I used to hold my Peanuts books when I was 10. In other words, its totally inadequate to the job. I yearn for space and organization.
I would start with a no frills desk with an area to keep the tower off the floor and still be able to provide good cooling. I hate seeing all those wires too so I would be looking at how those things are routed. I would have one flat panel 19 and plenty of space for additional paperwork. I have a cordless Microsoft keyboard that I got in a package deal with a cordless optical mouse. The kb is still going strong but Im on my fourth mouse. I just decided that cordless mousse suck ass. As long as its optical, Im fine.
Storage space would be a must with plenty of room for reference books and media, as well as tools for working on projects and parts organizers. All would have good adjustable lighting. A USB coffee pot would be nice too.
I think thats it. Im not posting any pics because all that I just mentioned is stuffed into a corner of my living room right now and its UGLY!
minus the coffee pot that is.

We (meaning me) are switching some of the groups over to 3, 20'' LCDS for the CAD work.smo0f said:
They really love the drawing space and being able to have all their emails and B.S. over on a seperate screen so they don't have to alt-tab or minimize their drawings for any reason.
I have some user with dual 24'' LCD's. We bought some 30'' LCD's but for the money we went with 24'' they are so freaking cheap now.
Heck, I remember using a 14'' crt that only did 640x480 on an IBM PS2 16MHz with 2MB of RAM. Of course I also remember having a Compuserve account in 1984!smo0f said:
I remember when 17'' Sony's were 600.00$ and everybody thought, OMG That thing is HUGE!
Funny how perspectives change.
Here's my clusterfuck of a workstation. Don't worry the only original equipment on that computer is the case monitor and speakers. (those were the only things that served thier purpose.) I got the computer originally for highschool graduation and I had to put up with it's lameness until I got a job. so far I have about $4400 invested which isn't bad for what it's got in it.
