Best Home Workstation Contest

Posted on April 8, 2007 by Nate Whitehill

My pal, Mr. Gary Lee, has started a contest at his blog to see who has the best home workstation.

I primarily work from home and I have a decent setup. I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz with 2GB of RAM feeding my Apple Cinema Display 30″ LCD. My resolution? 2560×1600. I also have a wireless keyboard and mouse. My computer is connected to my JVC home stereo.

The winner of the contest will receive a Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset.

    And, how much does that screen cost btw? I really could do with one of them

      Going by Apple’s site: $1799. I wish I had that much to drop on a computer. (I could do that, just not all at once.)

    Nice setup Nate. Those cinema displays are nice, but I could never put that much money into it. I would personally have gone for a few smaller screens, but that is nice. Good luck winning.

    My best rig was about… oh… 7 or 8 years ago. Twin 21inch CRT Sony monitors, big graphics cards, Yoke for Flight Sim, the worst graphics tablet you’ve ever tried to use. I loved that kit!
    Even had my old Atari Falcon flippable onto one of the screens. Now I just have a dual core laptop. Must resist temptation… don’t need new pc…

    c’mon guys . . bigger does not mean better even though it definitely helps! hahaha . . . . come participate in the contest and get at least a linkback from me :) . . . .

    WOW Nate – That’s a sick set-up. That screen looks Mad.

    Wow. That is impressive. Can I trade w/you?

    • http://natewhitehill.com Nate Whitehill

      Sure, as long as you have the unreleased and long-rumored Apple 40″ Cinemas Display….lol ;)

  • http://www.joshbuckley.net Josh Buckley

    I might buy one of those screens, really good value in my oppinion…

    • http://natewhitehill.com Nate Whitehill

      As expensive as they are, it really is an excellent value. It is so easy to get work done and I can be doing so many things at the same time. It has improved my efficiency so much that the work I have done has already paid for the screen several times over.

        honestly . . do you need sunglasses when you use that thing? now you got me with screen envy . . . i have a 24″ iMac and it looks freakishly small now!

  • http://www.everybodygoto.com Ali

    WOW! Nice display.

    And I thought my 22″ was awesome. Yikes!

    My next computer purchase is definitely going to be an Apple, until then you can enjoy the limelight. ;)

      Rumors are that Apple is going to release an even bigger display with a built-in iSight. If you get that, I will be jealous… :D

    Very nice screen… asides from the Mac hehe j/k.

    I love the desktop space you get with a large monitor, but I like dual monitors better. Can get more space for less price that way heh
