Flickr Find: The Cocoon
Mitch Haile shared this set with our Flickr Pool to show us the ridiculously awesome setup he has in his office.
From what we can tell, he has:
- a 24-inch Intel iMac
- a 15-inch MacBook Pro
- a Mac Pro with six (!) monitors
- several PCs
- a couple of Kinesis Freestyle keyboards
The six monitors include four HPs, one ViewSonic, and a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. The Mac Pro has three video cards. The whole shebang is served by two APC uninterruptible power supplies. Nice.
Me, I just want a reason to keep an ice bucket on my desk.
Thanks, Mitch!

No.... it's the SECOND bottle of lotion. There's one in the background too.

he must need all those monitors to track whether or not any girls 'viewed' him on pof.com.

Wow, it must be nice to have the cash on hand to do it right from the beginning. Man, I need to play the lottery more...
And yes, I think that was lotion.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that.

@kurdt.... I was thinking the same thing. 360 degrees of norp FTW.
When you boast about your setup (which this guy should because it is nice and actually looks functional), you should try to eliminate all incriminating items from your desk.
Maybe he likes to have LAN games against himself?

he really should use synergy and a wireless keyboard. And a wireless trackball or something

that's an amazing rig -- but he'd better be controlling killer satellites with frikkin lasers or something like that with it. even dudes on a trading floor (or the space shuttle, for that matter) don't have that much screen info to digest all at once.

All the uploader's pictures can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bwa32/ The only thing his profile says is "I write software". One of his pictures has SIX monitors side by side PLUS an iBook/MacBook (white) on the left end and an iMac on the right end...making 8 screens side-by-side!!!!
