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.

Wow! Table with grass… Best!
Feb 18, 2010
Like to know about the lucky people who work at these work stations.
Feb 18, 2010
Even though some of those aren’t really usable…. they are still awesome. I can’t see being effective above 3 screens just too much going on. (unless you are monitoring stuff)
Feb 18, 2010
I wonder if they’re work is equally amazing.
Feb 18, 2010
WOW.. #6 woks space is awesome. Great use of space.
Feb 18, 2010
oh… they made me jealous!!
Feb 18, 2010
You are right I am jealous. I am in the midst of building my office at home and this is great inspiration. I have the perfect office with great light and space all I need to have is the perfect setup and this is great inspiration.

Omg…want! |▓|)

The wide screen monitors are impractical; I find. With this age of blogging etc; its time they made them vertical.
Feb 20, 2010
It all depends on what you’re doing, once you have wide screen you’ll find square are well square. And the better montiors do rotate just like in the 9th picture from the bottom.

It’s pointless to have a lot of screens. 1 PC and 1 laptop are enough…

The “Procrastination Effect” must be unmanageable.
Feb 19, 2010
These look like my home office!
Feb 20, 2010
I hate the acumulation of screens in almost of the pictures… I think whit one or two Pc´s or notebook is enough. Minimalist is better.
Feb 20, 2010
Right. I’m jealous!
Feb 21, 2010
All these pictures that don’t show an unmanageable number of screens or have major glare issues look like cramped home offices. I think I’ll go for a standard cubicle with only one or two screens and possibly a laptop.
Feb 21, 2010
Now I feel less than adequate
Feb 21, 2010
that’s my dream……i’ll do!
Feb 21, 2010
I want to know what these guys do?
Feb 21, 2010
Fantastic! This looks like a nice dreaming collection of best desks! Now, I have a few questions on some!
Feb 21, 2010
I’ve recently moved up to 3 screens, feels like however many I get, I always want just one more.
Feb 22, 2010
“Work” stations? Indeed.
Feb 22, 2010
Nice collection – there are some set ups which are impractical and don’t think people need that many monitors. (one monitor as a clock – that’s ridiculous.)
Hopefully they also spend money getting renewable energy at their place.
Feb 22, 2010
Can’t help but notice the over abundance of Macs in this series. Having an apple product does not automatically make your workspace “fantastic.” Some of these are legitimate (skylights, anyone?), but many of these are just glamour shots of Apple hardware.
And I have to agree with Cotswolds: Always just want one more monitor. I have two, plus a 30″ TV, and I’m constantly moving back and forth between them all.
Feb 22, 2010
very nice
Feb 22, 2010
Cool! I want workspace like this)
Feb 23, 2010
Red Alert would die of happiness from some fo these.
Feb 23, 2010
I got 37 screens in my workplace, all of which serve an individual purpose 24/7. Wish I could post a pic. It would put the rest of these noobs to shame. Plus the view is one of a kind, and I get paid six figs for this…not including pennies. lol suckers

These are so unergonomic. I feel sorry for these people.
Feb 23, 2010
Wow, those are amazing! This collection will make many geeks very humble.
Feb 23, 2010
I liked a couple but most of them looked too messy.
Feb 23, 2010
Seriously Larry? 37 monitors? LMAO I’m a computer programmer and I use 3 monitors, and make 6 figs. Assuming you had 8 computers on a kvm switch, each with 2 graphics cards with dual output, that’s still only 32 monitors capable of being used. So I guess you have like what, 9 or 10 computers running at the same time? I’d hate to get your electric bill… But being logical, I know you’re just trying to show off and make people think you’re cool. Some will believe you, but those who know anything about technology, bills and liars on the internet will see right through this. BTW, almost all of these setups are lame.

You beat me too it I was going to ask how many computers, video cards (type) and all myself. But he did say workplace not home office and if I were to count what my workplace has… LOL
Feb 23, 2010
I have a pretty nice set up. Just 2 screens. I would need to be a day trader to need more than 2 screens.
Feb 23, 2010
I suppose it depends what you do, but I really can’t see anything beyond 3 monitors being practical. It’s one of those things that intrigues me, and makes me want to watch over someone’s shoulder–I want to see these stations in use, and just how their owners make proper use of them.
Feb 23, 2010
Some nice setups but most of them are so DARK and/or cluttered. Am I alone in liking lots of LIGHT at my workspace?
Feb 24, 2010

I’m so jealous of desk #6. Mine is never that clean!!

Do people actually use more than 2 screens at once?? I would love to see Larrys 37 screen set-up! – It must look like Dixons or a PC-Shop!
Feb 24, 2010
So having millions of monitors will make me jealous? I don’t think so. Two computers is probably the best setup, due to easy troubleshooting/fixes/multitasking/etc.
Feb 24, 2010
there’s nothing impressive here at all. they all suck equally.
Feb 25, 2010
I want #11! Very nice
Feb 26, 2010
Do people really need all those screens?
Really like the one with the grass, and the one with the tree trunk inside – nature in your studio is a good thing!
Feb 26, 2010
Like sitting in a NOC or an MCR with the screens right up to your face.. Wouldnt like to know how thse people would feel after sitting there for 8 hours 5 days a week no matter how cool it looks. lol
Feb 26, 2010

Helped me plan out my studio…
Feb 27, 2010

Wow. .nice design. .
Mar 1, 2010
I’m surprised at the quantity over quality approach taken with most of these. Looking over the screens used, presumably, for visual design I’m shocked at the number of cheap TN panels. Yes, Apple fanboys, that includes the iMacs.
I saw one setup (#1) with Samsung SM206BW screens, which are about as good as TN gets, but if we’re working on visual design we should be spending our hard-earned on good quality IPS panels with decent colour reproduction.

Not too jealous. There’s only a couple that left me drooling

Thanks for sharing, I love workstations! They are truly inspiring! I save the images for collection
