Nice Jabba. I think Hefner got some competition!

Have you thought about painitings? I couple or even one good painting can really change the atmosphere.

The problem is the monitors need to run at 1600 x 1200 resolution to give a clean crisp image...something to do with an incompatibility issue with the quad video card I was told.

Therefore I need to have them that close to me so I can read the text more easily.

Better for multiple screens as you can give the ball a good spin and get the mouse pointer down to the other end in no time.

Post up the dimensions of your rooms. Then we can have a fiddle with the layout. Our interior designer is coming over next week, so I may be cheeky and ask her opinion.

awsome setup, jabba! i wonder, the fish tank by itself looks great... but do you turn off the light in it when the TV goes on (at least for an important show) to not distract?

The problem is the monitors need to run at 1600 x 1200 resolution to give a clean crisp image...something to do with an incompatibility issue with the quad video card I was told.
damn compatibility issues :x although, ive only once worked on a 4 screen system before... a wonderful sun mycrosystems setup.

in windows xp, i do believe you can set the font, and icon size somewhere in the settings, after work ill see if i can find it unless somebody beats me to it.

totally awsome. and nice view outside the office

Yes the fish sometimes have to have an early night. You're right about the fonts and its an option in the control panel....I will give it a try when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is hillarious. I would have never thought untill now that getting the mouse pointer "some where else" could be a time consuming affair...lol

lol funny that, as she is a 'looker'. She has a bit of latin in her. Anyway, this is her site, think I may have given it to you before, but hey:
