A Showcase of Workstations that’ll Make You Jealous

In this article, we’ve compiled a showcase of photos that will give you workstation envy. The thing about workstations is that even if you have a nice one, seeing another awesome setup can make you a bit jealous.

May 25, 2011A lot of programmers use multiple screens for fixing errors and writing code while also doing both synchronous and asynchronous communications.

May 10, 2011Multiple screens come in really handy when you have to utilize multiple apps to complete consolidated task.
For example, I use 3 monitors:
Monitor 1- Hosted Databases for multiple client sites (45+)
Monitor 2- Test Environment Virtual Machine/Production VM
Monitor 3- Help desk software/email/web browsing
I can’t imagine having to do all that w/ fewer than say 2 monitors.

June 17, 2011Fewer than 2 screens? like 1 screen?

May 10, 2011multiple screens = “workstations that’ll make you jealous”??

June 12, 2011I guess so… didn’t see anything inspirational in ANY of these pictures, except maybe #29… he’s got a lot of sh*! happening there!
Also, 28 and 30 are the same bloody workstation with different lighting…
Multiple screens are NOT the be-all end-all of workstation envy. They’re a common thing when you’re talking about a “work”station.

May 24, 2011Is it sad that I don’t find many of these workstations impressive? I have 4 monitors and a 55 Inch LED TV. Also my laptop.
Multiple screens are usually good for working with media, security camera/software, or stock trading, etc. Also if you want to see your music playlist while playing a game and display your social networking feeds. I definitely recommend multiple monitors for multi-taskers.

May 25, 2011There are quite a few tasks in product development and visualization that require a multiple screen setup. For instance, when it comes to preparing visuals for immersive applications to be displayed on a gigapixel powerwall or CAVE, not every developer will have one of those connected to his workstation.
I’m happy to confine myself to the macbook-and-cinema-display solution though.

November 21, 2011All the images are really cool. Sometimes most of us need to monitor multiple tasks. For this purpose, its really awesome. It can also saves a lot of time.

December 26, 2011Fantastic, too many monitors in some of them though

January 6, 2012Too much clutter for me….And not energy efficient….Money down the drain if you ask me for toys for boys….If someone wants to feel like cpt. Picard than maybe other than that 20+ ” inches is more than enough. And regarding running db software + Citrix / VM / rdp + ticketing tools + help desk software and whatever else you can think of, it can be done on 1 screen, 17″, worked like this for some time for a major IT company

January 9, 2012Those workstations look so awesome! I would love to have one at home!

February 1, 2012What is the need for more than two screens? A large screen is more than enough to do multiple workings..
James
February 24, 2012Some of these are very pretty. But I don’t like multiple screens myself, even though I’m a programmer. Anything other than the one two feet in front of me is too far away, or too distorted by the viewing angle. They’re over rated.
