Uncle.

Awesome home office setup man :). Curious to see what 6.0 brings heh. A row of 30+" monitors possibly?

WOW!

Best. System. Ever.

I'm guessing you're a virgin, right? ;-)

I'm guessing you haven't spotted my fiancee being mentioned and linked, right? :-)

What job, honestly, do you need that set up to perform? I'd take 3 of those screens but 7???

LOL @ Power Company.

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 ;)

i just creamed myself.

This would be cool if it were apple mac, rather have 1 mac than 50 pc's

Wow, not only is it a sweet setup, it also looks really cool, especially in the dark.

Wow. I love it.

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!

wow, this looks amazing! but i'm seriously curious though, why would someone need all this? yeah, it looks badass, but are you using it for video or photo editing, or what? lol

Murph, there's a FAQ on my website. Just click the link on my name. :-)

I really like that blue glowing little keyboard (I hope it's a keyboard).
Overall ... it's great. Would love to spend 1 hour there

Mario, you're an idiot.

Also, nice setup, but it must have been hard to find the background, or did you make it.

Why?

You would make one kick ass home automation system.

I now know what I'll do first if I win the lotto
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.

Great workspace. The tiles, is this setup in a garage? Looking forward to seeing v6.

Oxymustard: Nope, not a garage, just a room I converted to a home office.

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!!! :-)

nice work.good wrokshop

I WANT

Why am I not surprised @ the comments, sorry guys :) I know its a touchy subject to pc users, and mac is not a pc.

Crazy setup Stefan

Beautiful backgrounds.

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.

First - I want that setup.

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.

What kind of chair is that? Where could I get one?

Forthac: It's a Herman Miller Aeron.

For fun, do you sometimes go out and watch your electric meter dials spin?

Its just a fancy server room - As an individual, you really don't need all that hardware to do your work. Excessive use of hardware, especially monitors, for little return.

Sun, would you mind if I make you an amazing offer to do my work so that I can pocket the difference and be on vacation all the time? You must understand exactly what my work involves so I'd be very interested in hiring you! :-)

Beautiful and CLEAN setup. A lot of keyboards though. Why don't you use a KVM?

Mario - Ha, Ha!
Otherwise - cool setup, but how sad! I want one, buit i can't justify that!

Developer?? As a developer, I would save some table space for the tipical no-one-but-you-understands diagrams, TODOs, drawings, and so on.
BTW, it's a cool setup. Expensive, but really cool.

WOW. Never have I seen anything like it!

Might I suggest a Deck keyboard for that setup? Take a look at them and check out their message boards.
http://www.deckkeyboards.com/

thats amazing. it beats mine for sure. just imagine playing on it.

Impressive setup in terms of style and technology, even though (possibly) less in terms of energy consumption - it seems "blue computing" is not "green computing". ;) Anyway I wonder what kind of work you do in this "home office" - being in front of a computer all day (and most of my nights) as a software developer, I possibly couldn't get much work done without snoozing away in the dark, moody, relaxing environment. Does it really feel "productive"?

Cheers,
Kristian

It depends on your definition of PC. We can all agree that a PC is the hardware, software is your personal choice.

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...

get a life dude

This is serious overkill. It's a shame, in this day and age, that people are still abusing and overusing electricity like this.

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.

Liam, stfu, nothing more ghey then over worrying about electricity consumption like some kind of trendy "green" guy. What a freaking cliche. 7 LCD monitors doesn't consume shit.

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.

Liam, are you also the type to tell surgeons they don't need all those trays with tools because a pocketknife is sufficient? Claiming it's overkill only shows ignorance, though. Clue: VM's. If you understood that, you'd have noticed I'm saving tons of power by not having dozens more machines because of that. :)

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.

first off this is a nice setup second if it helps him and saves him even five minutes a day it is worth it and third some people like big things (half pun intended) and don't care what other people think hey liam just so you know my truck that used to get 12 mpg and then i *made it beter* :) like this bad ass system above and now gets 6 so you need to stop criticizing how other people want to spend their money

Wow! So cool... Your office looks like CTU headquarters :)

just sick! I hate you!!! lol

Very nice indeed! I have 4 monitors and 2 nodes, but I can *never* ever keep my workspace half as neat as that.

Mario: you watched too many "Mac vs PC" commercials on apple.com, perhaps you think they're real.

Liam: You shouldn't drive a car. You can walk because it's overkill. Bikes are out because they're made of metal and rubber, and taking that away from nature is raping planet earth. Make sure you don't wear shoes either, cus our ancestors went barefoot before shoes were invented.

one of the monitors on the right looks a bit green...nice though

<a href="http://www.stefandidak.com/rambl… all about</a> how Aware Bear (Andre Leite Alvez) stole one of these images, altered it, and used it for commercial purposes in their brochures.

Please, tell me you play at least one mmorpg (ie. World of Warcraft, Everquest) and are constantly pwning noobs in Counterstrike or Call of Duty. Please, tell me this beautiful altar to digital goodness is used for more than milling labour.

Unfortunately, Darkmyer, I must admit that I hardly play any computers games at all. I guess I prefer my entertainment and leisure to not include sitting at computers and screens. :-)

So what are you producing with all this stuff?. The column next to this is blank!!!
Its like having a house full of beautiful women and not being able to get ahard on.
But have a wondeful Christmas and New Year. Just get as much joy as you can every day. The Baldchemist

So like... is this pretty much the substitute you have for a warm body in bed next to you? I think my interest in sex would wane if I had this.

Tell me, Marty, do you often publicize your private and projected insecurities? :-)
