#72Here's an old pic of my home desk, the one in my office isn't too dissimilar: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2277/2267898054_e3a45f4472_o....

#74http://imgur.com/T0DKp.jpg That's me, running ArchLinux. This is in London in a co-working space in Shoreditch. EDIT: I find 2 or at the maximum 3 screens to be optimum but i do keep a separate laptop for communication, browsing activities. When i need isolation I simply close my communication machine, the main "work" machine does not have IM,Email and has a very strict firewall.
If you don't mind me asking, where?
I'm looking into finding a london co-working space in the next few months.

Are you still happy with it? How long do you sit like that at a time?
I am very satisfied. So far, I sat for a maximum of 3 hrs at a stretch and its still comfortable. After 2 hours, my legs start getting cold, probably because the blood is not flowing there, after that I adjust the recline and it feels better.
I wonder if you're still satisfied after having read "Your Office Chair Is Killing You"... (looks like much inclined towards back)

My requirements were silence, natural light, space to walk as and when, 24 hours access and plenty of eateries near by.
This place seems to do the trick.

#78I'm definitely in the minority running Windows (x64). Here's a video of my rig: http://www.vimeo.com/9954310 Picture: http://chir.ag/stuff/5lcd.jpg * LCD1: Communication (chat/im, email) * LCD2: Test browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Safari), Photo Editor * LCD3: Main browser (Chrome) * LCD4: Text Editor (EmEditor), SFTP * LCD5: Media (music, video, audio controls) I'm about twice as more productive on this setup than on my l…

How do you deal with so many screens? Doesn't your neck hurt?
Not really. I sit back about 3 feet and my chair's pretty comfortable.
I find it hard to imagine how you can comfortably type on the left-most screen with the keyboard in the center. To keep your arms parallel to your head you must have to move the keyboard and mouse according to the screen you are looking at.
It doesn't sound like the most ergonomic setup, but it must work for you since you say you're twice as productive!
