Workstation Geekdom

2005 Computer Setup. Two computers power the 9 displays. The laptop ran Windows XP and the desktop ran FreeBSD. Synergy allows the use of one mouse and keyboard to control input devices on both machines via the network. (Yes, I used an ssh tunnel for the synergy connection). The slow draw rate on the lower monitors caused me to later consolidate them into 2 larger monitors powered by one graphics card instead of the 3 cards used here.

Monitor(s)/Display(s):

  • 2×24″ Dell.
  • 2×21″ Dell.
  • 4×17″ Dell.
  • 1×15″ Laptop Display

Computer(s):

  • Dell Inspiron 8500
  • Dell Dimension XPS (Dual Core Pentium 4 w/HT @ 3.2GHz)

Accessories:

  • X-Can Headphone Amp.
  • iPod 5G.
  • Sennheiser 650HD
  • DAS Keyboard (version 1).
  • Logitech Mouse
  • Grandstream GXP-2000.
