When it comes to cool desktop setups, geeks are unmatched. We know this because we work on wall-sized, Minority Report-style screens. (We can also predict the future.)
The pic above is nice, but we know you all can do better. We want to see your awesome workstation. Take a pic of your setup, pop a link in the comments or email your entry to feedback2@geeksaresexy.net, and the team of very fair and objective judges here will choose two winners to receive a free Splitreason t-shirt from the [GAS] Store.
Aaaand, GO.

It's not clean or tidy, and it doesn't have any amazing monitor solutions, but my homebrew stand up desk has space for two 22s and two full size laptops underneath. It also accommodates desk heights from 30"-52", and manages to keep my printer and case off the floor. And, it only cost me about $175 (plus a lot of elbow grease):

You're probably the only person who uses a rotated display. :3
This is used for nearly 100% programming, and other development. Vertical screens make life so much easier for me when there's a ton of lines of code to look through. The monitors are on articulating arms, so I can easily rotate to horizontal or any other angle as needed.
What do you have holding the monitors? I've been looking for a good mount to rotate my displays
They're on a single Ergotron LX desk mount.
Here's a quick picture of the back: http://www.jestep.com/images/IMG_20110912_142104 (Large).jpg
Linky no worky
copy the (Large).jpg too, don't use the link it was cut off
and I've looked at Ergotrons stuff before, I havent seen a three arm mount like that O.o

It's only made to be a double, but I could pretty easily fit 4 on there if I wanted to. Not the prettiest thing from the back side, but it's really nice to be able to move everything as needed.
Ah ok, so it's two separate models that you spliced together on the same stand? I don't suppose you happen to know which ones they were, because pretty from the back I don't much care about lol that looks perfect to me
Should be this one: http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/3…
I've had mine for some time now, so it looks like they upgraded the styling since then. I got most of the stuff used on ebay and hacked it together. Pretty expensive brand new.
Desk needs a good wipe down but this is my workstation

I can dig it man… Nice rig.
here is my modest little setup. http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/2075/img03231k…
screen in the middle is a 40" full hd tv above that is a 32" sony bravia HD ready tv and next to those are 2 24" samsung monitors. infront of that is a Wacom cintiq 21WX to the left of that is a Logitech G19 keyboard. and a Razer mamba gaming mouse. the 5.1 surround speakers are hidden behind the monitors as is the subwoofer.
of on either side is a PS3 and an Xbox
Very Nice. I have 2 – 28" LCD's sitting in a cabinet but I just can't sit that close to them without going crazy. I don't think I could handle a 40" at all, but man would it be nice for graphic or video design. Love the Wacom setup. Good to see another vertical monitor setup as well.
But you know whoever wins this could afford one of your t-shirts and it would probably be a drop in a bucket for them. But many of us are limited to one monitor due to the lowliness of our positions. Only recently have I acquired a workstation with three flat-screen monitors. Oh, and I'm talking about at my place of employment. At home I'm still using a 17" CRT monitor because I cannot personally afford anything else. But it makes sense in this culture with it's idiotic principles of worth.
Uhhh sorry to burst your bubble, and everyone else who wants to complain about the fairness of this and better off people having an edge, but….I'm a full time college student on a VERY tight income, with a part time job, seasonal work, and what little money I get for working on my research. The rig I posted above was bought and paid for by my own sweat and cutbacks on things so that I could afford it. You want to whine about a culture of whatever fine, but you're dead wrong about some of us who strive to get what nice things we do have.
Kid, you get it. Don't ask for fairness, just get out there and make it happen.
I respect that in people.
Nothing's free, but if you want good stuff on a budget, find some off-lease Dell 1905FP's – 1909FP's. We were buying them for about $50 each in near perfect condition. Have not had a single go out in about 7 years of daily use.
Acer also makes some decent 22" widescreen monitors for around $150 brand new.
