Bratwurst!!!
Impressive.
Yes, "messy" is not quite the right word here.
BTW, are these screens all connected to a single machine?
Which editor is that?
EDIT: Wait, I guess that's emacs, right?
Yes, all on one Mac Pro. The editor is gvim, X11-forwarded from a Linux development VM.
Since this is a picture thread, here's the machine itself with the primary storage RAID and UPS:

Are you living in a CHU? My bunk space in our tent is as wide your your setup. LOL. Nice.
Most of the setups here are nice indeed, but some of you post every other day. I'm not mentioning any names.
Don't remember what CHU is, but they were nice enough to put the lower enlisted in one the few concrete buildings. It's two man rooms with about 20 rooms or so in each building. Our room is about 12 x 15 I'm guessing. I'm out at FOB Mehtar Lam.
I sort of rearranged things today in preparation for either a 27" Thunderbolt Display or an iMac. (I'm still not sure which one I'm going to go with, Leaning toward the TD, as I've never really been a fan of desktops...) I already know how much space the TD (or iMac) is going to take on the desk as I've measured and marked it. If you look over by the BookArc, you'll see two marks one is width and the other is depth. I'm still not sure which I'm going to get, but the MBP is going to stay. I thought about getting an 11" MBA, but the 13" MBP isn't much heavier and has more in the way of hard drive space...

20" iMac G4 and iMac G5 as dual monitors for mini
This setup utilizes two of my favorite classic iMac designs the 20" iMac G4 and the 20" iMac G5. Both of these computers have been heavily modified to allow them to function as external monitors in a dual monitor setup for the mac mini which is at the leftmost portion of the keyboard drawer. This is the latest generation mini with a 2.7ghz Dual Core i7 processor and discrete graphics.
These monitors are externally indistinguishable from the native computers. Only inspection of the rear ports would give them away. The G4 includes a full size tray loading "external" DVD burner hooked up to the mini to make up for the mini's lack of an optical drive. Use of Griffin's iFire adapter allows use of the original apple pro speakers to complete the illusion.
