I haven't tried 30" portrait, but I don't want to... I can turn my chair left/right a lot easier than I can look up and down. I used to do 4 portrait screens + 1 wide screen, but I do a lot more PowerPoint than I used to, and portait screens aren't as so handy for that.

You guys have some great set-ups. I posted a while back; recently made a few changes and ended up with 11440x1600. I am also running the HP LP2065 on the right (and have 3 more in the closet from when I was running 4x20 + 1x30). The monitor on the left tends to be Outlook 2010 in a VM, the...

Yes, 3 x 30". I have a 4th 30" in my other office. I really like these screens.

Here's an update for mine: I'm enjoying seeing everyone's pictures!

Definitely mousing can be a problem -- with very fast acceleration, a lot of keyboard control, and shortcuts programmed into the ErgoDex, it's not much different physically than a single small screen. It took a while to work through the logistics of the mouse, though. I also found making the...

No, for a few reasons-- 1. I turn my body slightly. 2. I generally am debugging on the left and casually looking at code on the right, or coding on the right and casually looking at the crash on the left. 3. I sit a little further back than I do from a single monitor system. 4. For...

I guess I could see it might work better for artwork vs text. Or maybe having the bottom row very tilted (like what Stefan Didak has). I spent about 2 months trying various configurations and just couldn't get comfortable with it. For artwork, I wonder if it would make more sense to have...

I'm a little late getting caught up in the forums, but having gone through a lot of this: - I personally find matching vertical resolutions important if you drag a lot of windows from one monitor to another. - I tried stacking monitors before and found it gave me huge headaches and generally...

Thanks! The height above my head when I'm at my desk is about 42" or so--pretty high. I am 6'4", and I don't feel like the world is crashing in on me. Clearly I cannot stand up in the whole room--but having the vaulted ceiling helps tremendously with the illusion of drama and space.

For those discussing the Bush Series C desk -- my desk is out of that set. I highly recommend it -- very good for the price, and a heck of a lot of modules.

My desktop is 9920 x 1600. I've found it helps to sit back a little further and have the monitors a little "flatter"--it looks like in your picture that you have the angles pretty tight around the corner of a desk. Of course, this requires having a large enough physical space. :-) Hope...

I just got my DroboPro today and am working on setting it up and waiting for some more disks, but so far I am very happy with it. I will post more later once I have it up in its real environment; just doing some testing with some drives I had laying around today.

How are you attaching the legs to the table top? I know that Ikea sells the "metal frame" that attaches to the bottom, but do they sell it seperately from the Galant tops? Thinking about building a self-standing "keyboard tray" using the Galant legs.

Yeah, it's a disaster behind the desk. I bought these 24 AWG DVI cables that are sort of like old mainframe bus cables--extremely inflexible and screaming for a raised floor. They are very sturdy and solved some issues I was having with longer cheaply made DVI cables, but they make keeping the...

Thanks guys. :-)

Er, those were construction shots. The room was actually 2 rooms + a huge closet before; it's now a large room with a small network closet. My contractors ripped out walls, took out all the wiring, redid the floors, new insulation, etc.

Thought I'd post an update for mine. This is my full-time office; I'm in here 80 hours a week right now (too many, I know). FAQ here: http://www.biscade.com/office/

Is that the P182 case? I have three P180s... great cases.

Thanks! No, no .NET--I haven't done any Windows native coding for 6 years now and I'm happy with that. Because I get these questions so much, I threw together a quick FAQ of actual questions I've gotten. http://www.biscade.com/office/ Hope that helps.

Sadly it's: The Freestyle Solo utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. Rated at 10 million operations the Solo will provide years of comfortable typing. http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/freestyle-solo-features.htm The key switches were initially very disappointing when I...

Thanks. The keyboard is a customized Kinesis Freestyle. I have three of them and highly recommend them, despite the cost. I recommend getting the 20" cable instead of the 8". I'm fairly tall and have broad shoulders; after using these for a year, I found my posture has improved...

Yep, all on one computer. 8 cores, 12 GB of RAM. I think the office altogether has ~24 cores, 54 GB of RAM. Most of the computer use serial consoles so I just have 11 monitors including a laptop. More pictures on flickr (link above). No matrix ports in the back of my head (or anywhere...

Thanks. The other thing I did "right" was putting some outlets near the desk 35" off the floor--i.e., so that they are above the surface of the desk, rather than 18" from the floor. In highsight, I should have done more raised outlets, and maybe some Ethernet ports at that level too...

Thought I'd share this updated picture of my main workstation. More information / pictures here: http://flickr.com/photos/bwa32/sets/72157607284828899/ Great setups, guys!

Thanks for the nice comments. I write code for distributed software products, mostly. I do some consumer stuff on the side or full-time from time to time. Generally work in C and Python, some other stuff too though. Sorry for being so vague; I am really a jack of all trades and do a lot...

Hi guys, I found this thread a few weeks ago. It took forever to get through the whole thing. :-) I am really happy to see I'm not the only guy out there with Ergotron gear! My main workstation is a 8 core Mac Pro w/ 12 GB of RAM and there's a Linux box that I use for a 2nd workstation...
