I feel like I've died and gone to Dell Hell!
My "desk" at work is actually a 6'x6' corner work bench. Sitting on my "desk" right now, I have my new PC, nicknamed "This Sucks", an Optiplex with a 19" LCD hooked to a KVM. I also have 3 new Optiplexes that won't connect to the KVM, so they're all set up individually with 15" LCD's, all loading Windows. On top of that, I have an older Dimension 2350 hooked to the KVM, also loading Windows, and an Precision 360 and Inspiron 8200 lappy waiting in line for the same treatment, sitting on the far corner. In the one space left on my desk, I have a half a bottle of Pepsi, a stick of PC2100, and about a 9" pile of Dell OEM software.
So, basically what I'm getting at, is that I'm really freakin' bored, and am slowly returning to insanity from staring at nothing but black and grey PC's everywhere, among other things. Have a nice day. Oh yeah, IBDude!

So what is with the 7 pc's at your desk? You actually use them all or are you running a complete server room from your desk? Lucky bastage!
If I were you I'd use the three 15" LCD monitors on one PC with a multihead video and have them side by side for a panoramic display. Have that one running Linux all pimped out and keep the 19" hooked to an XP box. You might be in Dell hell, but you have a lot more on your desk than the crappy Inspiron 4100 sitting on mine. Johnny

Three HP D220 workstations connected to a Belkin KVM, an IBM E74 tube monitor, IBM Thinkpad A30, and an IBM Thinkpad G40
oh, and two gutted APC carcases. One Smart UPS 1000 and the other a Smart UPS 1400. Doug

We use mostly Dell Precision machines here. I just got a new Precision 370 with 2GB of RAM, 320GB of hard drive and some ridiculous video card. I don't even know any more what's under the hood. As long as it helps me make art, that's cool with me.

The first time I read your message, I thought you'd said I needed to also hook an X-Box to my 19". I don't need to worry about that either, since I've got Grand Theft Auto 1, 2 (both free, I might add), 3, & Vice City all running on my machine. Quote:

Lets see... I have not one, but two desks...
I work in a 3 person IT shop that supports approx 100 business office users, and the production floor. I was hired to do the job of the other two people here, but I was supposed to have the help of an intern. He got fired, and now its just me! The other two have to concentrate on getting all of the stuff for the plant move. Back to my two desks... on my desk I have two Latitude C840s, two Latitude C400s, a 21" CRT, a 17" LCD, and an external DVD Burner. On my other desk (READ: The ex-intern's) I have two L400s, a GX260, two GX150s, two GX110s, a 19" LCD, 17" LCD, and a switch in order to make all of this work... Under that desk I have a Poweredge 2300... Add to all of that, I am the new PC setter-upper, Data Center monitor, purchaser, help-desk dude, cell phone dude, voicemail dude, desk phone system dude, SAP dude, network (switches) dude... and oh yeah... the security system dude including but not limited to badges and cameras. About the ONLY thing I am not responsible is when a printer is hard broke... we have a contract for that.
