Finally have the home office I've always wanted, with only a few more things left to do in order to consider it finished.

Power company loves me.

Wallet hates me.

    I'm curious to know the need for all of those monitors?

    @drRoss because I can...

    Oh, and because the iMac+2 monitors and laptop are mine, and the macbook pro+3 monitors were provided by work, because I work from home :-)

    So, I basically have 3 workstations.

    @purged where did you find your remote job? Just wondering.

    Great set up!

    @champion01 I sought out a company whose HQ is in another state. It isn't worth it to them to open an office here for just me, but knowing many of their employees, and having made a good impression on their CTO at my previous job is what opened the door.

    Networking is so so so important, and making a good impression has kept me employed/created many many opportunities for me!

    @purged that's some of the best advice I have heard! Thanks for sharing your story! It's always great to hear opportunities created like that!

    I recommend putting one of your monitors in portrait while you code, makes it easier for me to be productive.

    @EasyUltra i've tried it. I can't stand the loss of horizontal real-estate. Personal preference.

    @purged I also commend you on utilizing so many monitors. Any links to your rigs specs? I'd love to see it!

    @EasyUltra thanks, but nothing special. My work machine (3 monitors on the right) is a newer macbook pro, then to the left of that is my personal mid-2011 iMac with two external monitors, and to the left of that is an AlienWare laptop for playing a few games here and there, and personal stuff when I travel.

    I actually want to wall mount one more screen for full-time display of my security cameras.

    @purged you work with what you have, I definitely would mount a monitor for those cameras!

    Please, play some animations at six of your displays in an infinite loop the whole day and do actual work on one of them. Like in password swordfish.

    How long have you been working from home? Do you like it? I've been doing it for a couple years now and I'm so tired of it. I loved it initially but now I feel like I can't concentrate better and get so tired sitting at home all day! I need to find a new job where I see other people lol
