lol, I just made a thread about mine in the Frendly Corner a couple days ago.

I'll get some new pics, and post them here. It's alot cleaner now, hehe.

I first set it up, just to take that picture lol, but then I realised that its pretty cool, when you are working on digital editing and other stuff. Currently I removed the two top monitors because it was total excess and my dad needed a dual monitor setup so I just trucked them downstairs.

the left most monitor is a seperate monitor connected to a KVM that has 3 computers hooked up to it. The MP3 server, FTP, and my Pentium Pro AIM box (doen't do anything else). The MP3 server allows my brothers or I to access the central MP3 database (a little over 80 gigs) from the stereo downstairs or from any of the computers in the house. The FTP is just a host for my crap. The other two monitors are connected to my primary machine (via GF4 4600) I do everything else on it.

I understood about none of what you just wrote. Why would anyone need more than one monitor on a computer? In total, how many computer's do you have there? seem like alot. You mustbe hardcore into computer's to set all that shiznat up. If i'm not mistaken, you have your computer with MP3's on it hooked up to your sterio? that is so cool.

ya, that turned into one really really long run-on.

The purpose of having one monitor is simply more desk space. I find it really hard to have to Alt-Tab from program to program every few seconds. For example, I am writing this on the center monitor, but Winamp, photoshop, and 3d Studiomax are open on the other monitor. Ya, I guess you could contribute it to lazyness, but when you have large documents open, the space is very well used.

Basically everything is out of convienience. In the picture, there are 5 computers, three of them are connected to the left monitor (via KVM, Keyboard/Video/Mouse, you can cycle through the computers) and the other two are connected to two monitors. I realise that the extra two monitors on top and the box that was connected to them was total excess, so it got moved to my father's work area downstairs.

And before any of you say "stupid rich kid" , I paid for all of it. I build all of my own computers and I build them for other people, its how I pay for all my stuff as well as my paintball stuff .

Yes, I'm a huge nerd!



Specs on the hardware are available on my website.

Anyways, when my Mags need some attention, the keyboards get pushed out of the way (and the rest of the junk on my desk), and I have a nice "clean" area to care for my Mags.

I would show you a pic of my work area in my basement, but today my dad fianlly got sick of all my junk all over the place so he kicked me out Back to my room, I'm going to buy a card table and a small portable vise for it.

Well, for those regulars who also visit The Tinker's Guild will recall I picked up a new vertical mill a couple months back.

There, lucky readers would see a rare view into the Doc Cave:



(Pay no attention to the guy with the white fur... er, hair and the black T-shirt.)

In this shot you can see the shiny new Grizzly 9X42" vertical mill (the big green thing on the left) and immediately behind that is my 1HP Rockwell vari-drive drill press, and immediately behind that is the older of the two Logan lathes (this one a 9" x 32".)

On the right is the primary 16-foot long workbench (remarkably clean, relatively speaking) with the Craftsman rollaway tool chest at the proximal end. At the distal end are parts and catalog/manual/reference bookshelves, and central is the pegboard for all the common/primary tools.

On the left foreground you can see the corner of the other workbench (another eleven and a half feet long) and one of three vises (the smallest) scattered about the shop. Below, and unseen, that bench is storage for a great number of boxes (and one big-block 455 engine, just in case.)

On the right foreground, you can see the corner of the 9X19" Grizzly lathe that was one of several things moved to make space for the new mill, and to the right of that is the other Logan lathe, an 11X32 1.5 HP cabinet mount.

In the corner to the photographer's immediate right rear is the older JET mill that the new Griz has supplanted, and the orange handle in the central foreground is a modified pallet jack used for moving heavy machinery and engines.

Speaking of engines, the doorway just barely visible to the far left edge leads to the storage shed, which is all shelves and racks. Among other things is an entire wall edge full of engines on custom made storage stands designed to be easily picked up by the pallet jack (shortened considerably in order to maneuver in the shed's narrow hallway) and rolled through the machine shop...

... Into the main shop, the door to which is unseen on the immediate far right edge of the above photo. The main shop is two car bays with a 10' ceiling and a 16' by 5.5' deep "grease pit". Plus the two workbenches, the other drill press, beltsander and bandsaw (the dust-makin' stuff needs to be seperated from the precision machine tools) and the 5' square 3/4" thick steel welding bench with the 125-pound vise.

Also in the machine shop you can see a few details like three of the room's six speakers, run by the amplifier on the right edge, fed by a laptop unseen directly below it. The laptop, since this picture, has been replaced by an old P2/450 desktop which has been networked with the rest of the house (and possibly future additional shop) computers.

The shop computer's primary function is to play MP3s very, very loudly.

You can also see three of the room's whiteboards, one of my fire extingishers, my Emergency Backup Cat, (in case of a partial or total failure of the Primary Cat System) one of three tap-drill charts, two of five material racks and one calendar, which, when this photo was taken two months ago, still showed October of last year.

Still in the works: To extend the main-shop overhead air plumbing into the machine shop, storage racks on the wall behind the mill, for things like rotary tables (as soon as I get one) angle plates, boring heads, the collet racks and so on, and to finish the short bench with the proposed tool drawers.

Then, in my spare time, I might convert the old JET into a 2D CNC, just for fun.

Doc.
