Finally finished (one of) my monitor projects.. adding 4 monitors to Jaguar (desktop machine).

I used to just have the Samsung (the one on the right). Actually feels like "my desk" now :D

For the eagle eyed viewers:

HTC Desire HD on the left
Geeksphone Zero to the right of that
The case on its side underneath the birch desk is Donkey, my home server.
On top of Donkey is my 24 port Gigabit switch, which I'm not using yet because the fans are crazyloud and need replacing.

Now it really will be Windows.

Is it Arch Linux on the right?

<groan> ; )

I'll take it as a compliment that you didn't notice the mounting system I had to make to hold them up :) Yep. All 5 monitors are on the one machine. I did take a picture with some things open but the lack of natural light washed out everything on 3 of the displays.. only the GOG forum and Lee Scoresby were visible.

I know what you made. I just... don't know why.

It seems like a lot of effort for a brief amusement.

So you're keeping a Jaguar next to a Donkey in your room, and Desire provides the means to exchange stuff between them? ;)

On first glance that's what I thought it was. I hope xyem plans on using those as separate screens or that's going to be the world's biggest FPS crosshair right there.

Not for brief amusement, I am (and going to be) using them :P

Awesome. +1 for the hilarious innuendo.

What are you using this for? The monitors seem to far away to be useful for text.

What you need to do is see about getting the companies to get around to making wrap-around monitors for home users. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could figure out how to make first person viewing on a game be accurate to what a person sees in real life (Humans I think have a viewing range at an angle of 150 degrees. What I mean by this is that if the monitor wraps around to the sides of yourself, things that are on the far left or far right would at the same time be viewed the same way, as a sudden glance, rather than characters having what I assume is about 100 degrees of viewing radius)
