College Dorm Setup of a Computer Science Student

About the Setup If you were like me, you made your way through college with nothing but a laptop. Well that is not nearly good enough for this computer science student, who lugged his entire four monitor setup to his dorm room.

The two outside monitors are Planar and rotated to portrait. The inside screens are both 24″ Samsung monitors. The computer is a 2.8GHz Quad Core Mac Pro with 10GB RAM, 2.3TB internal storage and 500GB of external storage.

Sitting on the desk is a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo 13″ MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and 250GB HDD. Also seen on the desk is an Aluminum Apple Keyboard,d a Logitech MX Revolution mouse, an iPod shuffle and an iPhone 3GS.

Credits This setup belongs to Peter Hajas who can be found on the web here.

  How did you set up your Mac to run 4 monitors? I have 4 monitors that I currently run 2 of my macs off of but would really like to know how to make all 4 run off of one mac.

  He has two Macs: a Pro and a MB Pro. To run multiple monitors off of the Pro he could use multiple graphics cards and to run them off of the MB Pro he could use a USB to DVI adapter.
