I'm almost done with my setup here, but waiting on the stands so I can complete my hex monitor array, but here's what I have so far. Been multiboxing for about a month











EDIT: New 6 computer setup as of 4/10/08:

Sorry, I got baby aggro right when I was posting that last night.

Here are some specs:

Main comp:

Dual XEON 2.8GHz Dell Precision 650 Workstation
4GB PC3200 DDR
XFX 7950GT 512MB
Samsung 225BW 22"

My slave comps:

#2

P4 3.4GHz 800fsb HT
1.25 GB PC3200 DDR
200GB sata
Nvidia Quadro FX 1100 128MB

#3 and #4

Celeron 1.8Ghz
1GB 667Mhz DDR2
160GB sata
XFX 8400 GS 256MB


#5

Dual Core 2.2GHz
2GB 667MHz DDR2
160GB sata
XFX 8400GS 256MB

All slave comps have the Dell E1703FP or something like that. I picked them up cheap off Ebay. The slaves all have identical CoolerMaster 340 cases each with a 400W ps and a 120mm fan set to medium speed.

I'm running Ergoton monitor stand (going to make a custom hex out of two triple horizontal stands I bought recently)

Happy Hacking Lite II keyboard

Xkeys Pro PS2

XKeys Stick PS2

Vetra 8 port PS2 broadcaster

Vetra 4 port USB broadcaster

Manual PS2 A/B switch for single main computer or full broadcast mode for my keyboard

I'm also running Octopus for the mouse sharing across screens. So I have either indivudual mouse control or broadcasted mouse control with the Vetra.


All of the slaves are sitting under the desk stacked 2 high, 2 stacks. The main comp sits behind my monitor.


Plans are to add a 6th computer next month and a second 225BW.

Very tight setup. Brings back the memories :)

Why the manual A/B keyboard switch? The Vetra ones (and several others) are able to be switched via keystrokes (or X-keys programmed to hit said keystrokes).

nice work man, got some oldschool looking gear there up the top

Just proof of concept before I buy the Vetra or another KM switch. Much better buying a $10 item that will let me figure out if that's the setup I want rather than spending $120 and realize I don't need it.

You know what Jennifer is thinking.

The look on her face says it all.

She is thinking to herself:

Holy cow! A man who 5 Boxing! That's why I married this fine gentleman. Now I have it made. I want to have his baby. Dan, have my babies.



Who says all boxers are living in their parents basements? Right on Dan!
