Best Home Workstation Contest

I was browsing Shawn’s Blog today and I noticed he had a picture of his home workstation setup. The reason for that is Gary Lee is hosting a best home workstation contest. I’ve seen some extremely nice setups so hopefully some people will like my setup. I was never really proud of my setup before, but since Ashley and I both work from home we need a home office. Well now that we have moved into our new townhouse we have a brand new office. Here is our setup…

As you can see it is very nice and actually organized. My system is on the right and Ashley’s is on the left. Here is some info on my machine: ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard, Sapphire X1900 XT Video Card, Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, Crucial 10th Anniversary 2GB PC2-5300 Memory, 2x 320GB SATA hard drives, Benq DVD +- R lightscribe burner, Thermaltake Soprano DX Case, Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch widescreen LCD, Saitek Eclipse II keyboard, Logitech MX revolution mouse, and the Altec Lansing FX5051 5.1 speaker system. Ashley’s system: EVGA 122-CK-NF68-TR 680i SLI Motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, XFX 7600GT Video Card, OCZ 2GB PC2-6400 Special Ops Memory, 320GB SATA drive, Lite-On Lightscribe DVD burner, Thermaltake Soprano White case, ACER 26-inch widescreen monitor, Saitek Eclipse II keyboard, Logitech MX310 mouse, and the Logitech Z-10 speakers.

As you can see our systems are very much alike. Ashley also has a Macbook and I have a Dell XPS M1210 laptop (not pictured). We have matching Ikea desks that when placed together create what you see in the above photo. In the center of the desks we have our printer/copier/scanner and wireless router. I think this office really kicks the old one’s ass. And hey we have a big window to look out of and spy on people!
