Show us your workstations!

Sounds like my job (in fact it is my job).

Btw... don't hate on the Avaya Definity systems... 1300+ user support, IP & Point-to-Point capable, PRI Capable... the only thing that sucks is Audix.

I'm going to take a guess and say that one linux server you've got is either ADP or an ERA server?

I don't hate on the Avaya box... it's a nice little oven.

The one linux server is indeed ADP and it's horrendous! Only 3 years old and we have to restart it 3 times in a row for it to come up correctly and allow users to login. ADP can't/won't fix it. We miss ERA, but the way ReyRey is going I doubt they'll be around in the next couple of years.

Here?s my workstation ( one day shoot and one night shoot )

On the Desk is my Dell Optiplex GX150 test server running Debian 5.0.7 with my Xerox 19" VGA Monitor (has been a solid monitor for the past 6 years, so no need to upgrade as of yet). Sitting on the server is my Nintendo DS 1st gen running DSLinux. Also on there is a Sandisk Cruzer Blade 4Gb USB flash drive and a Sandisk Cruzer Slice 8GB USB flash drive. Still using an unbranded PS/2 Keyboard with no need to change and a Logitech Nano wireless mouse.

Under the desk is the main system, running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and my two "tech boxes" - Storage boxes filled with hardware, cables and other bits and bobs that I still class as needed. :whistle:

Photo taken with my Sony DSC-S40 :cool:

What about 5 monitors? 9.5 million pixels

<snipped>

if your sig is up to date what kind of settings do you play games at if you stretch them across all 5 monitors? and what games?

iirc 5770 cf is similar in performance to a single 5870, and single 5870 falls short in 2560x1440

I used to have a Makael desk from Ikea but it sorta made the living room look like an office. It was too big really too. that's why we got the new desk.

i have something similar from ikea but with an extended pull out on the side. nice for putting my feet up on and placing my n52 and resting my kb on when not in use.

anyways yess, we need a new thread! all the other periodical threads on neowin have been replaced for 2011! don't leave us in hardware hangout hanging bros!

    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

    • I've never even heard of this browser before seeing this article. How does it differ from other browsers?
    • Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
