3 monitors running on the same machine, makes work easier!

That's what I thought at first, but then I saw three task bars. Is that something in Windows 7 only? I still have XP until I decide to install my copy of 7.

any ideas what I can do to get those wires to look nicer? I mean, one is my headphones, and I can't do anything about that, but the rest...

Used to have a crammed desk that limited the size of my monitor and keyboard. Got a simple $69 desk from IKEA two days ago, and...

Much better. My PC can go on the floor should I replace my monitor with a larger one.

Buy a special wire management thingy that IKEA for example makes, here's one in action:

I had to figure out something myself since IKEA doesn't have a store in Estonia, so I just used a towel holder that I found in the bathroom department at a hardware store to achieve the same result. Turned out perfect I think and was a lot cheaper probably as well (towel holder was ~$2). Oh and zip-ties are your friend ;)

No I use Ultramon to give each monitor its own taskbar, otherwise the main screens taskbar gets far too crowded.

Here is my updated setup. Images are a bit grainy since all the lights were off. The only things missing from this are my MacBook Pro and a USB hub I got for xmas. Aside from that everything there is the same save for the new HP 21.5" Anamorphic 1080p monitor with HDMI, PS3 Slim, LBP and AC2 (have it for 360 already though).

It breaks my heart to see these poor guys who are unable to outfit their equipment with a proper desk or the room space necessary to keep it all from being crammed in a corner like Halloween decorations. I am so incredibly grateful for the 2300 square feet under my roof and the options to put my stuff practically wherever I want.

:\ 2300 sq. ft maybe big for some, but for my family of 3, having so much crap, it would be small. It's always nice to have a "computer room"

Ahh, the ones that you made are the ones I like. I didn't even notice the star trek one.

LOL :p. They are on my deviantart, but I don't know if DevArt prints them like that. FYI - The lower one is a game ratings poster which says YOU ARE IN CONTROL. It is directed at parents who have trouble understanding that the games aren't responsible, THEY are.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
