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.

It's very common to have 10+ displays/monitors in Master Control.

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.
