A Showcase of Workstations that’ll Make You Jealous
Whether you’re a designer, developer, animator, or blogger, your workstation plays a major role in how you get things done. Some of us like a neat, clean, and inspiring workspace, while others require a crazy over-the-top hardware configuration.
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.

February 17, 2010Whoh… Now what’s what being a geek means. I greatly enjoy watching such workstations, it keeps me motivated to work day by day, perhaps someday I’ll get such workstation on my own.

February 17, 2010All of them are great workstations. I wish I had such an environment in my workstation, currently not possible though with all the crap on my desk

February 17, 2010Woah. And to think all I have for a workstation is my laptop and uber comfy bed :p

February 17, 2010So where’s the part where I get jealous? I only see a few clean workstations, the rest is just a load of clutter and cables running everywhere, as well as a very unproductive environment.

February 18, 2010That is the part where you get jealous….you dont have it.

February 17, 2010Some great workstations! I prefer the minimal mac ones myself, I can never keep my desk that tidy!

February 17, 2010Looks great but some are just too much.
We don’t really need to work with that much screens in order to survive in this IT world.

February 17, 2010Heh, three of mine are up there xD
Alan
February 17, 2010Some of them are just stupid, but some would be amazing to have.

February 17, 2010I have two screens and I can see why some people might need a third one. But what’s the point in having more than three screens? It’s just ridiculous, I might even say retarded. Stop showing off the 8 screens because at the end of the day we all know you’ll just use it to watch porn.

February 17, 2010Great collection. but some of them looks messy and most of them are so great that I might kick my work desk very soon
. Keep Posting.

February 17, 2010Great post.
I think a lot of them are a bit over the top, but still some nice gear on show. I have only a PC and and a Power Mac, so I have serious workstation envy looking at these.

February 17, 2010I can’t imagine the horror when working on six or more displays…

February 17, 2010Most of them look like the workstation of a casino supervisor who happens to be gay! its just theyre so messy. but just a few of them look professional. cause a professional designer wouldnt let its working environment negatively affect his creativity or limit the kinds of styles he can think about.
loved the grass thing. my next project needs a peaceful design, and that grass could help me a lot through it!

February 17, 2010The 10th one is my favourite – http://www.flickr.com/photos/stewf/201497582/sizes/l/

February 17, 2010Some of the workstations are great and I’m truly envious…others just look like people are trying to see how many monitors they can possibly cram into a work area – what’s the point? Nice inspirational post.
Joel
February 17, 2010I like about half a dozen, and the rest look like there were door-crasher specials at best buy! Cool, but I think I’d go crazy with more than dual monitors…
thanks for this post

February 17, 2010now i’m really jealous…grrrr
Simon Bowler
February 17, 2010I think a lot of these are over kill. Could have some fun with them though

February 17, 2010You can not showcase a workstation without adding Stefan’s monstrosity.
Thinker
February 17, 2010I don’t see any purpose of having more than one LCD. Time of moving your head and getting focus to other monitor is same, as switching windows. Some time ago I had 2 monitors, but its really hard to work that way, so I sold smaller one. One 27″ fullhd is enough for me
I think the best workplace is the one with windows above head.
Mark
February 17, 2010I am very jealous of many of these. I just wish I had a space I could set up a desk with. Maybe someday.

February 17, 2010Loving the one with the little patch of grass under the monitor! These are awesome!
Aaron Moody
February 17, 2010some realy nice ones, some not so great…I don’t see the big deal with the million monitors myself :p
Drew
February 17, 2010Wow! Someday I’ll have something like that.
crunchy
February 17, 2010meh….so somebody has a monitor just as a clock…..what a twat. Do you really need more than 3?
Tracy Lee

February 17, 2010I used to have a dual monitor setup before I used Macs but somehow I can work just fine on one in Mac OS X.
The funny thing is I hardly use Expose. I just [cmd] + [tab] to the app I need to work in and then [cmd] + [~] to cycle thought the windows.
I actually think having more than two monitors can be counter productive. I think that focusing on one thing at a time gives you better results, faster.
Plus using less monitors saves the planet

February 17, 2010cycling through the windows I meant.

February 17, 2010Pretty brutal.. worth watching…
But let’s get real, for those of us who are always at a hurry trying to finish something are not close to have such a clean desktop…
FYI
February 17, 2010Just so’s ya know, two of the photos show the same office but in different stages. Stefan Didaks old office and his new one are both listed, apparently.
