Nice setup, Trawlerman.

But it doesn't look very ergonimic.

Hehehehe I really must tidy up around there. It's more functional than anything else. One I get cracking, I can be working on there for hours.

I was thinking of ripping all that workbench out and getting a proper workstation setup in there but funds won't allow at the moment.

I spend 40hours a week behind a monitor at work so when I get home I try not to spend too much time on the computer.


Are there anymore dual-head head-fiers on here I wonder?

Absolutely indispensible.

I usually have my email/newsgroups on the left screen with Internet Explorer on my middle one and the right one is spare and usually has all the utilities etc displayed on there or my file system when moving crap about.

Sound As Ever


If that's not a waste of space, i don't know what is. I use one pc for every app on here, works fine for me, i really don't understand why any normal person would need multiple monitors.

Do you trade stocks?

Heh, cool mclaren20. That was mine several years ago back when Ocarina of Time came out I think.

Edit: I'll post mine in a few days once I get back from a trip.

Try it. Once you do, there is no going back. Especially if you like to use programs like PhotoShop.

I had a dual 20" setup at my last job. I worked in Marketing for a Brokerage Software company so they had lots of dual-head video cards and loads of big monitors lying around. All I has to do was to ask IT for a card and extra monitor.

I ended up with 2 PCs both with dual-head cards hooked up via a KVM to 2 20" monitors.

Talk about multi-tasking heaven. I could do my QA work for the software on one PC and manage email, web & graphics, and more on the other PC. Pressing the CTRL button twice switches between the 2 PCs.

Awesome.

So I had to get a second monitor for home. It's what I'm used to.
