What's your computer area look like?

Are you a computer-in-the-family-room type, is it in your office, garage, or all of the above?


12" powerbook, spare monitor, and a 17" iMac g5. The windows box is banished into the darkness of the closet, where my linux server lives.

Have three flat screens hooked up to one server using W2000. A KVM switch connects three computers together but its networked anyway.

Flatbed scanner is under the table, business card and negative scanners are on the desk and triple printers on the end of the workstation. HP Laserjet 4500 for normal printing, HP 895 for color and older Canon bubble jet for labels and envelopes.

Laptop sits on the desk to the right of the main station and is networked with cat 5 to the hub. Have WiFi for working around the house, garage and by the pool.

Spend far too much time on the computer.... BTW, your desk is far too clean, sign of a demented mind!

Who cares, I want a bite of the Toblerone. mmmmmm

Actually have 2 in my home office which has transformed into the kids playroom much to my dismay, 1 in the garage and the wife and I surf in the living room from our laptops.

All Macs.

I think Bryan posted a photo of this area before (months ago...) and the Toblerone was there then!! Scary!!

Brian, your space is way too neat!! (BTW: you have a PM from me)

Right now...solid concrete with no furniture. My basement flooded when we got 2 days of 65º weather with torrential rain. The ground was still saturated and frozen a few inches down so the water went to where there was room...

Can't post pictures as my home computer is disassembled. (I'm at work.)

too clean?! I love it this way, everything perfectly in its place, all tidy and whatnot... It used to be a total pit, but I feel so unproductive if everything isn't neat and clean. My old boss was a total obcessive-compulsive and I think his pickyness rubbed off on me a little bit. When you design programs for someone THAT picky, I think you're bound to become more picky yourself...

Anywho... the Toblerone is only from Christmas... and is still yummy

Joe, your setup sounds pretty awesome, post a pic? I'm looking for a couple more LCDs, but I hear it's not easy to get the iMac to run multiple monitors... anyone here done it?

Bachelor Setup: scrap lumber spread between a bookshelf and an entertainment stand, both of similar height. The computer-related books, printer, and computer-related CD/DVDs live on the bookshelf. The computer case lives inside the entertainment stand, with movie-type DVDs in the entertainment stand storage space.

Simple, operable, cheap, and ugly.

You guys are swanky. This mess, as Jack Olsen would say, is "where the magic happens".



And another old picture of just my view, (back when I smoked, note the ashtray):

Yea, the price was right, and big enough to work spread out.

Speeder, the x-rays are actually of my dog (akita) after she got hit by a car . If you look close at the box in the middle of the picture, you can see some metal staples towards the bottom right (as you are looking at it). When i saw the x-rays i was like....WTF only surgery she had was getting fixed and there shouldn't have been any staples like that.....she pooped out a leather strap she ate somewhere a day later that had 3 staples in it, lol.
