Well I brought all of my computers home from school and set this up in my room:

[removed oversize inline image. -- tooki]

I can have 4 computers going at once, but right now I have the iBook spanned to the 19" next to it. There are too many keyboards, I often try the wrong two first before I figure out which one I want to use... The 4 G3 DT's serve as a chair/workbench. These are probably the best Macs in my collection. In a couple weeks I'll get to add a Keystation 49e to my setup, I'm excited! Anyone have any mutli-Mac setups? Anything worth of Swordfish?

Get a KVM. It works great to control 4 computers with one keyboard.

LCD's don't use up that much electricity. My electric bill is between $70 and $80 a month. Of course I don't have to worry about heating and air conditioning since I live next to LAX airport.

I'm impressed by your setup.

Talk about multi-tasking!

I've been thinking about something like that, except only two of these have USB and the iBook doesn't have ADB so I'd have to comprimise somewhere.

Not fair! How come he gets to meet the hot actress? I live next to an airport too, if that counts for anything!

On a related note, I never could understand how people use multiple computers, either logistically or logically. But hey, if it floats your boat, don't let me stand in your way!

Wow, hot cousins and hot setups! What a day on MacNN this has been.

Sadly none of my cousins are hot. Wait, maybe one is... but she doesn`t have any sexy photos on the internet for me to show. That I know of...

It's a set-up that coincides with Thnaksgivnig and Halowween.

Well, unfortuanely, lothar forgot to put the "big image" in the title, so the moderators believe that the thread is better off with no images, so they remove them. They should just lock it. It now is a stupid thread with no meaning.

It was always a stupid thread with no meaning. There was already a half dozen "setup" threads that could have been used. And in terms of equipment nothing there was impressive, unless the thread was from 1998.
