No... I do not work at NASA. This is Home Office "v5.1", versioned after the number of major changes over the years. The v6.0 Home Office will take shape in Oct. 2008 where it will be expanded with a lot of new systems... and, yes, MORE screens and BIGGER ones :-)

Stefan, this is a cool setup. I would definitely go for this setup. But I'm worried about the impact on productivity... I'ld be tempted to step back and admire my workspace every 15 mins ;)
How many computers are there actually in there?
If you used a Mac Pro, then you could use spaces and have that work area, but replicated another 16 times!
Good luck on v6!
Overall ... it's great. Would love to spend 1 hour there
Also, nice setup, but it must have been hard to find the background, or did you make it.
I was wondering about the background too, must've been a drag
I agree with Murph, doesn't it seem a little eccentric?
Mario, an apple is a pc too
try listing 5 reasons an apple is better than windows or (even harder) linux.
Smith: Eccentric? Only if I had fuzzy dice on the screens or fur borders around the screens, I think. :-)
Mac vs. PC: Gee, I develop software for Windows. I have no use for Mac's. I wouldn't be able to do my work!!! :-)
Crazy setup Stefan
A Mac is not a Personal Computer? It's not so much that Windows users are touchy about their operating system as that we find it annoying that Mac users never stop talking about theirs. If you wanted a better operating system, you would use linux, and most professional programs are designed for Windows, which makes Mac the least useful of the three in my opinion.
Second - Macs are better than Windows in some respects, worse in others. Linux is better in some areas than the other two, worse in others. Give it a break.
Third - PC doesn't refer only to Windows systems. If it's a computer, and it's not a massive supercomputer that takes up entire rooms (not including screens and such), it is, most likely, a PC. Whether it's a Mac PC, a Windows PC, or a Linux PC, it's still a PC.
Otherwise - cool setup, but how sad! I want one, buit i can't justify that!
BTW, it's a cool setup. Expensive, but really cool.

Now you could count a PC as a computer that uses an IBM PC compatible BIOS, which Macs don't, such a BIOS is also a little dated in it's architecture now.
Next we could so it runs Intel's x86 based processors (anyone know what PPC stands for???).
Or we can define by use, wikipedia gives "A personal computer (PC) is a computer whose original sales price, size, and capabilities make it useful for individuals, and intended to be operated directly by an end user, with no intervening computer operator." This being the definition then it can be an ARM processor running a BSD variant with a custom BIOS...
You can't possibly tell us that you absolutely NEED 7 20+ inch monitors, and god knows how many PC's to power this...
And yes, I went to your website and read what you do, but this is still overkill and, honestly, a little offensive to anyone who is even remotely concerned about the environment.
I hope you offset yourself in other areas.
Go sit in your dung house with your juice powered apple. When you realize you're being manipulated to think that the sky is falling ,come back and enjoy technology with the rest of us.
sheesh.
I don't subscribe to the religion of 'man made global warming', a flawed theory that finds its roots in manipulated models and money driven politics. Sorry, but I'm just not 'trendy' that way.
