You know, I always wanted to run two screens at one time. But that is something else.

I count 4 separate KB's and would bet that is an AVID drive tower buck behind the laptop. I would say that this is a graphic move studio system... I have worked with systems with 6 Panels’ "Lick"(yes that was his nickname,) had done some awesome commercial shots and would render animations on them in real time, really kool stuff

What kind of work do you do?
Software Development. Check out 3am Solutions, Ignyter, Ignytion, Animagic, Manticore Labs.
(Ignyter and Ignytion are my new business websites that aren't fully available yet).
What do you need, or use, all that stuff for?
As a software developer and consultant I often work on very complex projects that require a lot of CPU power as well as storage. Not having to switch around stuff or reboot into other operating systems, not having to switch screens or use a KVM, not being forced to use just one or two systems at a time, really helps me be more efficient. And, of course, when other systems are under heavy load there's plenty of CPU power on other systems to use for other things, including surfing the web.
How much is your electricity bill?
Somewhere in between "ouch" and "cringe".
He also listed the specs of each system but the summary is:
8 Systems
2 Laptops
2 Systems not pictured here
38 TB of total storage

Thinking of playing CoH (or any other game) on that rig makes me feel tingly.
