64 bit, two video cards, four monitors, and Vista

Take one Vista 64bit HP workstation - xw4600 (1)

Ensure it has two dual video cards

Get four 24 inch HP widescreen monitors

Rotate them Portrait and what do you get?

The new computer for one of the partners at the office.

God the glare on those monitors is horrendous.  Give me decent 1-2 monitors over those anyday.

If Microsoft supported Vista x64 properly (take the lack of Print to OneNote and Groove folder sharing for example, then this would pretty much be my desktop, but I'm running x86 Vista Ultimate.  :)

And yet you forgot to mention the coffee cup... Shame.

Awesome - now all you need it Ultramon to manage these suckers better than the built in tools.

www.ultramon.com

Different backgrounds per monitor

One click movement of windows to different monitors

and much more.

Very cool utility.

Hate the mouse?  Well.. the Logitech Marble FX would be a little better, but they both avoid the subtle pain you all suffer from the unnatural rotation of your radius and ulnar that you work with every day.  You'll notice it more and more now. :)
