My 5-boxing rig in my newly built gamingroom

damn

this is sooo cool.

I've thought several times about building my own rack but I'm not that good in such things

thank you for sharing and plz keep us updated.

It's not that hard when you first get around to start. But you should plan ahead what to do first.

I usually start such projects with my 3d modelling program and draw every piece of wood out there so I know what to do and how the finnished product should look like.

Actually I have drawn my whole house (and yard) in 3D, so I can just add on whatever more I'm building in my drawing.

You're really starting from scratch, that is awesome. Must have required a fair bit of planning.

And silly norwegians, you're monitors are sideways!

Hehe.

Actually they're sideways to help me keep a smaller field of view. With this much monitors, you will have trouble getting a glance at all of the.

My plan is to just use the lower half of them for 3d grapics, so they will serve as small widescreens. The upper half will provide chat/mods/hotbars.

I could in theory just use smaller monitors, but since I allready had theese lying around, there was no point in using more money and let them collect dust

Looks good I like when people post work in progress pics. I only took some of my setup once it was finished. I have the same desk as you and I love it, got tons of room and it is nice and strong.
I built my own monitor mounts as well although different way from how you've done it. I went for free standing type things. I made 3 originally but only use two since I decided to just go for the 1 monitor in the middle.

I really like that corner wall mount idea.

Here I have made a brand new office/playroom where I'm going to build my new multibox rig.

AWESOME!!!!


When my roommate moved out about 1.5 years ago, I decided to turn what was my bedroom in my apartment into the computer lab and took over the smaller room for the sleeping.

Nowhere near the sweat, blood and tears you're putting into your's, but me likey.

You had me at wood finish

ha ha ... I can see the checklist now for you and when you get into a new place.


[ ] Wood floors
[ ] 30 Mbps down AND up Internet
[ ] Move out of US for the good stuff
[ ] Snow occurs reasonable drive away

Updated my first post now, with a picture of my allmost finnished rig
I might add another 20" if I find one that matches my other. I dont really need it, but I like symmetry :P

list of some of my eqipment:

4x 17" Acer lcd screen
1x 20" Dell lcd screen(vertical)
1x 30" Dell lcd screen
1x fairly beefy pc
4x older pc's, but they work okay with low graphics settings. I'm going to order better gfx card for them soon.
1x x-keys proffesional for hotkeys
1x x-keys 3-key pedals
2x logitech keyboard (One for normal use, one for my kvm)
2x Mx1000 logitech lasermouse (one fore use, one for charging :P)
1x Signamax 4 port kvm (Only used when I need console, usually I broadcast keystrokes with multibox)

Last but not least: Lots of time building and configuring. I'm still tweaking and guess I will do that some weeks/months in the future, but thats half the fun

Sweet!
