What's Your Computer Build?

FYI: All monitor/display pictures were taken with a point and shoot. On the bright side, the photos of my rig were taken with a Canon 7D using a Canon 17-55mm F/2.8 IS lens.

My Display Setup

Three 24" HP LP2475w H-IPS LCD screens mounted on Workrite Poise display arms. I currently use them in their normal horizontal display. I've taken pictures of them in a vertical setup. They're used primarily for web and graphic design and/or post editing photos. I wanted the maximum amount of desktop real-estate without losing out on desk real-estate.

sick system. i love the mount you have for your monitors. and awesome job at hiding your wires

Here is mine, nothing too fancy but gets the job done. I've just added a tablet since.

Currently it can hold nine 3.5" drives. The drives mount to two aluminum plates, which match the rest of the case. The plates (Mountain Mods sells the plates) are mounted onto a fan; the fan is mounted to the case. So essentially, for every spot that a fan can be installed, I can mount up to three 3.5" drives. In reality though, I wouldn't be able to utilize every fan to mount 3.5" drives, because some fans are already being used to mount other parts, such as the two water pumps in the front. In some places the water tubes are preventing another fan to be installed internally on the underside of the radiators. Here are some more pictures to show what I mean. These pics where taken right after I had installed the fans.

TritonB7--- I'd have two concerns for photo editing:

1. The window directly behind the monitors

2. The strong reddish (cherrywood?) finish of the desktop

I also have red toned wood office furniture, but I lessen the impact with a hood on my single monitor, and a matte black sheet of art paper under a matte translucent desktop protector.

Are any of you running a file server?

yup, my first PC from 1996 - PPro 233 with 128MB RAM and a couple of TB of space (keep all my crap on it )

So by "workstation", the OP meant the actual computer equipment? I thought he meant the place where you sit down and do your photo editing, PP, etc.

yap, AMD Athlon X4 with 8GB, and about 16TB of storage.

Also used for video rendering, hence the quad core.

Well the original poster, posted his work area, his computer, and his monitors. If you are referring to post #13, I posted those pictures to help answer a question and I apologize if it was off topic.

The wood isn't as red as the pictures would have you think, however it is cherry, I took the photo with a point and shoot and all the colors from the camera are overly saturated (I didnt have my 7D at the time I took the pictures). You make a good point about the window too. There's another window to the left of the display setup and I have to close both of them during the day for color accuracy. Even then, it probably wont be as good as having a real monitor hood on. I can only have my display setup on either two of the outside walls, both have windows, so it was unavoidable.
