Flickr Find: 11,600 horizontal pixels of heaven

What you're looking at is actually nine computers: five Macs, three PCs and one Linux machine. (Check out the Flickr page, to see what's what.) According to its owner, it's all driven with one keyboard and mouse, and switches seamlessly between machines. Incredible.

Thinking about the cable management for this thing makes my head hurt.

Incredible? There are are nine computers and nine screens... at my work there are at least a thousand computers and screens, and that isn't incredible...

The purpose for this rig? None of you have ever been in a broadcast facility? It's very common to have 10+ displays/monitors in Master Control. Most people nowadays are using multiviewers and quadboxes split a 50+ LCD/Plasma 8 ways or 16 ways, but there are still places that use independent displays--one per channel/task/scope...

I'm gonna guess he drives six Hummers all with one gas pedal as well. Way to go, overcompensating individual.

I'm thinking you could do this with one or two maxed-out mac pros and VMWare. It'd be sexier. :-p

Synergy is pretty slick...but has one bug (maybe a bug, maybe that's how it should be):

If your synergy server is a windoze box, everytime one of the applications hang - roughly every 10 mins if you're running more than 2 apps like outlook or internet explorer, then the synergy clients start erroring out. The trick in a total Windoze setup is to run it on a machine you'll run light apps. In this case, it's likely the synergy server is a mac (one app hang does not crap out every app for a bit) or a linux box.
