Your dream workstation setup..

Heathmeister · Feb 2009

Just wanna see what everyones dream setup would be if they were to have it at work.

Just name it all off monitors, tower, mac or pc....

I personally would like a Mac Pro with the 30 inch Cinema HD monitor, and a Cintiq to draw on or do my textures on and maybe a little bit of painting.

So yea just whatever you'd like... specifics or just basics

I'm a cheap bastard without work, so mine would be something in the lines of a quad (honestly, don't know which one), 3gb of Ram, 500Gb, a ati 4850 dual 2gb DDR3, a 19 inch CRT monitor. As for the motherboard, it depends on what CPU I'd go with.

Xenobond, is that a CDROM drive there? Cool!

Nice one Kman, that looks like the Compaq my older brother got for his bar mitzvah back in 94

reminds me of the days of BBSes, Quakeworld, Screentracker techno, Juno email, and Netscape Navigator

brings a tear to my eye :~(

Cintiq, a 22 inch whatever, and this really huge Samsung I saw a girl using at a photo shop. That thing was hot.

an engineering sample of intels nehalem derivative with 16cores. dual 30inch lcds. windows 7. and a butler

I'm content with what I have. Quad-core, 8GB ram, GTX 280.

My dream is that developers get off their ass and start supporting CUDA full force. I have to imagine the upcoming era of GPGPU stuff is going to eat into intel & amd's bottom line...at least the cpu division. Won't be much of a need to upgrade anymore.

Octo-core cpu's? pssst. I'll take 240 cores of GTX 280 kthxbye.

big comfy chair, no harsh lights burning out my retinas, no absolute bastards nearby, and the occasional Big Mac, bottle of ace beer, or stuffed quahog magically appearing whenever i fancy one (which happens quite a lot at work)

A Texas Instruments computer with the digital cassette tape drive, a Coleco Vision, and a Laser Disc Player.

ENIAC!

In February, the public got its first glimpse of the ENIAC, a machine built by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert that improved by 1,000 times on the speed of its contemporaries.

Start of project:1943
Completed:1946
Programmed:plug board and switchesSpeed:
5,000 operations per second
Input/output:cards, lights, switches, plugs
Floor space:1,000 square feetProject

[FONT=&quot]Not all computers have their programs in their memory. ENIAC and Colossus, the first electronic computers, were programmed by placing patch wires into plugboards. The tangles of wires in the picture are the program. (Only part of ENIAC is in the picture - it was 100 feet long.)[/FONT]

Dual 21 ux cintiqs, one of these over at BOXX would be nice.
A nice desk, comfy chair, some bad as headphones,
and a few External HD's for Archiving, and back up.

Lots of options for this mobile workstation.
(Note: save a ton if you buy the memory and HDD from a third party)
