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 18, 2010Like to know about the lucky people who work at these work stations.

February 18, 2010Even 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)

February 18, 2010I wonder if they’re work is equally amazing.

February 18, 2010You 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.

February 19, 2010The wide screen monitors are impractical; I find. With this age of blogging etc; its time they made them vertical.
working on mine
February 20, 2010It 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.

February 19, 2010It’s pointless to have a lot of screens. 1 PC and 1 laptop are enough…

February 19, 2010These look like my home office!

February 20, 2010I 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.
Luis Craik
February 20, 2010Right. I’m jealous!
Mark
February 21, 2010All 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.

February 21, 2010Fantastic! This looks like a nice dreaming collection of best desks! Now, I have a few questions on some!

February 21, 2010I’ve recently moved up to 3 screens, feels like however many I get, I always want just one more.
David Boni
February 22, 2010“Work” stations? Indeed.
Ivan
February 22, 2010Nice 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.

February 22, 2010Can’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.

February 22, 2010very nice

February 23, 2010I 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

February 23, 2010Wow, those are amazing! This collection will make many geeks very humble.
Kyle Webs
February 23, 2010I liked a couple but most of them looked too messy.
LarryIsLying
February 23, 2010Seriously 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.
working on mine
March 6, 2010You 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

February 23, 2010I have a pretty nice set up. Just 2 screens. I would need to be a day trader to need more than 2 screens.
Alison Rowan
February 23, 2010I 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.
Esz
February 23, 2010Some nice setups but most of them are so DARK and/or cluttered. Am I alone in liking lots of LIGHT at my workspace?

February 24, 2010Do 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!
Solomon
February 24, 2010So 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.
sid
February 24, 2010there’s nothing impressive here at all. they all suck equally.
Mark
February 25, 2010I want #11! Very nice
Martin Lucas
February 26, 2010Do 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!
Macca
February 26, 2010Like 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

March 1, 2010Wow. .nice design. .
Chris
March 1, 2010I’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.

March 1, 2010Not too jealous. There’s only a couple that left me drooling
