   There is no way you can be that productive with so many monitors.

   More monitors with M$ Windows, means more errors at a time, so.. whats the point?
   U can have the same desktop space with 2 apple cinema displays, one powerful computer, Mac OS, and no errors or BSD’s, with the same cost of those pcs..

   Remember, even when u sum 3, 4, 8 mustangs cobra, u can’t beat one Ferrari.

   lame stations are lame… Two / Three Monitors is enough.. You can’t possibly need 4 monitors.. Not to mention most of those setups are two monitors per computer.. If you kids were smart you would have 4 per each computer (using SLI dual cards) But being you don’t watercool your computers your fans would burn up and the heat would melt your fail minds.

    Those are sweet. So what I would like to know next is how many machines are running each of these multi-screen set-ups? I mean 6 – 16 monitors on one machine would be hellacious.

    These setups are only for weird nerds. Normal people laugh and point at them.

    really cool, I’m thinking of buying six 22″LCD’s and making something like this myself

    why not just get a 50″ lcd….?

    I really don’t see the point of having more than 2 screens, it is great to be able to play a game while having a browser open on the other screen but 7 screens I think its a waste of money looks nice nonetheless

    Any information about what these setups actually are? eg. how many machines are running vs. number of monitors. That net of older boxes with the CRT nestled inside looks especially cool. What are the specs of the boxes? What are the means of distributing instructions across the net?

    These are kind of tame by geek standards. Multiple monitors don’t make you a geek. A desk shaped like the Enterprise with a captain’s chair may.

    I Agree with bob.

    And why not just get a big T.V LCD with PC inputs ? Would it not be equal

    pretty crazy. i’d like to know what kinda jobs these guys are doing – i know myself personally would top off at around 3 or 4 screens, but i only do design.

    The only “geeky” configuration is the fourth, that is propably a rendering farm. The others are just eye candy as mentioned. There are lots of people around the world that think that connecting a computer to a TV through s-video is very nerdy, so are those configurations above to me. All you need is couple of videocards or a network video stream software.

    I have two monitors but have used setups that have 4+ and you can be really efficient if you need it. I do a lot of video editing and 4 monitors comes in really handy.

    I happen to support a guy’s network empire that he uses for stock trading. His desk has 7 24-inch LCD displays setup horizontally, and no desk in his office has less than 4 24-inch monitors. The entire network is Windows based, and I have yet to see a BSOD, crash, or error of any kind from any of his systems. All these geeks who thinks Linux is the only way you can do it just need to setup a Windows system properly.

    i have worked with +6 monitors working in a local theater but that was so i could have all my lighting, sound and personal desktop running all at once. my home setup is basically 2 19″ widescreen lcds.

    THANK Eric for what you said most of the above could only make fun of the photos or cut him down for doing this and with out a reason as to why it was no good. Well GEEKS why is so bad? If you can not answer then why open your big mouth?

    Wasted Time Developing Room to get more pictures.
    Will less investment Just Buy a Projector and use it
    No Need to set up 4-8 Display devices.

    In Simple words This is not Geek This is gimmick for those people who don’t know such things.

    I am unable to understand why such things are called geeky. And why just setting up multiple display is used to hypnotize the end users…

    Oh Sorry That was a Typo error
    It was With less investment instead of “Will less investment”
    Don’t bother…
