Nine Monitors that Almost Completely Surround the User

About the Setup The muscle behind these nine monitors comes from three computers, which are stored in a custom built cabinet. The primary computer is an Intel core i7 965 4GHz with 12GB DDR3 RAM, three nvidia 285′s, and a 1TB WD hard drive. The other two computers are a core 2 quad 3GHz with 8GB DDR2 RAM and a core i7 920 3.2GHz with 12GB DDR3 RAM.

The monitors pictured above are three Samsung 2433bw 24″ LCD monitors, three Hanns-g Hi221D 22″ monitors, one Velocity Micro 22″, and a generic Westinghouse 24″. The clock monitor is used for the server which carries a whopping 18TB of storage.

About the Owner This setup is built and owned by Steve Price, who can be found on Flickr. More information on this setup is available in this photo set.

  Cool, but 3 mice and 3 keyboards? I’d rather have one mouse+keyboard and then a 3-way switch to change which I’m currently controlling.

  Nick makes an incredible point on efficiency… and other than that I like what hardware you got, but the plywood’s got to go.

  Synergy is an excellent program but a little outdated now, I would use ImputDirector, its such a good lightweight program. http://www.inputdirector.com/
