    Nice. I have a laptop. It sits wherever I sit. I’m pretty sure I have a pen around somewhere too. Not much for a picture though :)

    Nice setup, I love that tiny laptop. Looks bigger than mine but I guess it isn’t really…

    Where did you buy the LCD thing and how did you set it up?

    Dammit! There isn’t one.

    It’s from Matrix Orbital. They make all kinds of LCDs. They’re meant to be installed in a computer case but they’re USB so you can pretty much put it anywhere you damn well please. I took it out of my case because I had to install a 120mm fan in the bottom three drive bays for a silent cooling scheme.

    They’re not too ridiculously expensive either. This one that I have is probably the most basic at $99 but even the most expensive is $149 I think.

    Looks like tech nirvana to me. I’m intrigued, pcs and mac on the same desk. I’d love to know what you use the mac mini for. I assume that the pc is the main system seeing as that is the one you just built.

    So you could probably get a CinePort for the laptop and then you could get a couple million pixel upgrade to run one of these:
    Quad Screen beauties.

    You’d still be dwarfed by a desktop running the MasterPlex though…

    It’s a Belkin. I forget what the model is specifically.

    Pretty sure it’s this one. Four port.

    LOL…I’m pretty sure I don’t need more monitors for the laptop.

    That 4×17″ setup would almost be a downgrade resolution-wise. I’m 3600×1200 right now and that thing would probably require another video card.

    …that Masterplex thing is *drool* though. I was *this* close to buying a 40″ Samsung LCD for the wall where the posters are.

    I am using the Belkin Flip – it is for two computers only but has worked flawlessly and is well priced

    …That’s a lot tidier than mine. It sure does remind me to get some cleaning done. That I should have done today. Instead of being on the internet. Again. Damn.
