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.

Nick Soper
March 4, 2010There are some silly rigs out there, but all are so right but overkill
My personal favorite is the 6th workspace, but I can’t help thinking that it never stays that clean for long.

March 5, 2010nice, the one with the green grass is good, helps calm down probably.

March 5, 2010not jealous of the MAC owners.

February 4, 2011I second this. It kind of pissed me off that there were some shots of normal workstations but with ONE iMac. Like really, what is there to be jealous of there? A clean desk?
And I’m not necessarily being anti-mac here (but I am), it’s just that a clean workstation with one computer doesn’t really make me jealous.

March 8, 2010I would like to have such workplace
, but then I don’t know if this will not give me some headache.
Nice post!

March 9, 2010i like the title most rather than the workstations itself… anyways some of them are good and innovative… over all good post! thanks
Vince
March 10, 2010Thanks for the roundup. Some really great workstations are featured here with soothing vibes.
We recently build our workstation with a minimal and clean mind set. We wrote a blogpost about it on our website, check it out at http://www.yummygum.nl/blog/minimal-mindset-in-de-yummygum-office

March 11, 2010Wow, some awesome systems, but my GOD what are you doing with all those screens? I mean some of these shots put NORAD to shame.
Thanks for this article.
Nick Pettit
March 11, 2010Pretty cool stuff! I’ve been thinking about just getting an iPad + a Mac Pro and ditching the laptop entirely.
Shokz
June 24, 2010A Mac Pro is disgustingly bad for for the price. Build it yourself and cut the cost be 50% and get better components while you’re at it.
Zach
March 12, 2010Wow… yep, I’m jeolous.
sebastian geeen
March 15, 2010I like what i see. Im moving soon, need to re think my office space…..
Ib
March 19, 2010Jealous? No, not really, good work environment is more than having a couple of monitors.
inspirationfeed
March 20, 2010These are amazing, i wish i had enough for a mac they’re so elegant.

March 22, 2010I have to update the picture but check out my workstation setup: http://bit.ly/bjNhOp

April 29, 2010Almost every one of those pictures has an Apple product in it.
. Mostly MacBooks.

May 6, 2010So many bright lights will make one blind. But still an awesome collection of Workstations
Doug Glass
May 8, 2010I am so glad I actually have a life and get outside as much as possible. Poor fellows who built these contraptions did at least brighten up their basement hovel.
mark
May 10, 2010the second one doesnt make me jealous at all… it makes me feel bad for whoever owns a mac and a macbook… what a waste of money that could have been used to buy a good pc
Albin Sebastian
May 11, 2010There are many Xp users too… See 15th Image
Kyle
May 11, 2010OMG! 4th pic from the bottom, on the top shelf, the black & silver com with the blue circles, i have that same one
ddrt
May 12, 2010Must be really cool to see the windows vista computers when they’re all blue screened.
Len Palitti
May 12, 2010Extremely interesting post thanks for writing it I have added your blog to my bookmarks and will be back
By the way this is a little off topic but I really like your web page layout.
SI
May 18, 2010the ones with tons of monitors give me a headache just looking at them. would never want to get near those work stations. the 5th one just looks like some awful clutter. hahah. but i love all the simple clean spaces. i could actually concentrate in those!

June 1, 2010Cool! I really start imagining mine after looking at these
Mirko
June 17, 2010I am jealous right now
I want workstation like that 
Liam
June 18, 2010My 19 inch wide-screen monitor seems quite inferior now. I find that although a lot of these are absolutely brilliant designs, some of them to me look slightly cluttered. But overall some great ideas there!
Joey
June 18, 2010“I could understand the Mom or I heart Wanda…But why the Reaper?” – Airheads
In other words…why all the screens? One even had his set up by the shower. They should post their light bill next to these pictures.
++rudekitty++
June 18, 2010I like the burnt-out Xmas bulbs in the 5th pic down from the top. So tacky!
ExtremeT
June 19, 2010Wow I wish I had like half of those workstations lol Suddenly mine feels so bare and small
QuarkBuddy
June 20, 2010Seems like the term “Overkill is underrated” apply quite exponentially.
sig
June 20, 2010had a setup like that once. more screens doesn’t really improve productivity. one screen is enough.
The 10th one is amazing though.
Rob
June 21, 2010That is some amazing hardware! I wish I had some of it.
Meafer
June 21, 2010I have one question.
WHY?
How could anyone possibly make use of all those screens at once?
Really Now
June 22, 2010Some of those were amazing, especially the ones where the had two whole Apple computers and weren’t completely in debt!
Avi
June 22, 2010If you could afford that many monitors in picture fifteen, why would you be siting on a folding chair??
I am fond of number twenty-seven. Comfort and research at my fingertips…valuable.
J
June 23, 2010Painfully useless. Too many screens can actually reduce productivity.
Tess
June 29, 2010Wow, how do you get something done if you have to focus on so many screens … that’s what I call multitasking
I am more for a neat and clean workspace. Pure and simple to keep you focused, but cosy though. Like the one with the tree in the room … would love to work there. Thanks for sharing this it’s pretty interesting to see how other people are working.
Vunky
July 28, 2010Some of these workstations look like they are controlling the huble telescope or something.
A bit less computer screens, but also nice:

August 25, 2010WOW Great Workingcenter!!!
Unwired
December 21, 2010usually mac boys…:)
James
December 22, 2010Interesting, but lousy ergonomics! If any of you are motivated to upgrade your workstations be sure to investigate proper ergonomics beforehand. Many of these users are suffering from back pain, neck pain, eye strain and other repetitive motions disorders. Flash isn’t always comfortable or productive.
mandrew
January 18, 2011hurr i need 3 macbooks all on one desk.
Robin
March 2, 2011i was having the plan for setting such an workstation

Michael
April 27, 2011Half of these are macs. Why would I be jelly?
JOhn

max
