Creating the Ultimate Productivity Workstation
So you want to build a workstation that rivals Bill Gates’ without spending your entire technology budget for the year, in one day. Here’s how I did it.
What you’ll End Up With
9 Desktops
3 Monitors
1 Obscenely Productive Workstation
Hardware Used
1 Dell Optiplex (with Windows XP)
2 Dell 19″ Flat Panel Monitors
1 Dell Latitude Laptop (with Windows XP)
1 Logitech Revolution Wireless Mouse
1 Worn out wrist rest
Software Used
Dexpot
Synergy
Firefox
Groupwise (insert your email client)
Dreamweaver
Photoshop
Pandora’s Box (for entertainment:)
Pownce (with all this productivity, I need something anti-productive)
Snitter (see above)
Pidgin
Yahoo! Widgets
ObjectDock
Let’s Get Started
First thing you are going to want to do is setup your dual monitors on your desktop. I’m going to be using Windows XP for everything I do today.
- Shut your machine down and plug both monitors in
