    Why would you need a setup like that? Looks cool.
    Looks like my desk at work, but 2 monitors are dedicated to news network, news wires, and the fibers coming into the building.

    And we have thousands of terabytes of HD space

    need? there is no such thing as need at home. More like want :) I actually get a pretty amazing deal on stuff every once in a while so that setup isn't as much as you might think but I do love my toys. I was just wondering if anyone else out there had Dual - Tri-monitor setups or crazy console gaming setups or anything just crazy or overkill :)

    Oh and that external drive on top of the right most computer is the enclosure I was telling you about in the other thread about external hard drives. It works pretty cool and that blue led in the front turns purple when its reading or writing.

    And I don't have thousands of terrabytes of space, just about 1 and 1/2 ;) Where on earth do you work where you have thousands of terabytes of HD space? What do you use it all for?

    I work at a news agency...we record many different sources of footage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

    I can pull up video footage of a protest, or a police car chase that happened 1.5 years ago if I want to.

    Nice setup. If I had the money I would do something very similar to that. With music production at least a dual monitor setup would be good. I could run my music apps in 2 and then use the other one for internet browsing or whatever.
    I just have a 15" samsung LCD and a Lianli PC-20 (I think) aluminum case.
    Are those logitech speakers? I've got a klipsch 4.1 surround setup. I don't use the back channels though. Klipsch speakers sound REALLY nice.

    Projectors are pretty nice but honestly out of all of my video equipment I like the 42" plasma the most, probably because its in the room where I can lay in bed :) But projectors are cool, just make sure you get a good screen because it sucks watching them on a wall :)

    These are the Logitech Z680's. I think they are about the same quality as klipsch but the sub is way better. 180watts of pure hard low hitting thunder. I was surprised at the ammount of bass this thing can put out. Time to put it in the car and power it off the inverter J/K :)
