If you liked our awesome computer rig contest, you will like Mitch Haile's clean but sensory overload workplace, with a total of eight displays. To me it's not as good as my favourite, the Death Star battle station, but that may be because I imagine it is a lot more comfortable to do visual work. And yes, with visual work I mean watching porn. Still, the gallery is impressive.
It's not what I would call a Bond-calibre flipping licence plate, but the system that a Queens truck driver hooked up in his rig is chock-full of ghetto ingenuity. Apparently, Orlando Payano mounted his licence plate on a hinged piece of metal then ran an attached cable through his cigarette lighter. When he went through a toll booth, all he had to do is pull the cord and abracadabra! No licence plate caught on camera.
Here are the top three rigs in the Best Computer Rig Contest. The winner: Steve Larson for his Nebuchadnezzar-like overloaded cockpit. Jump to see the three mega-galleries, which show just how cool the winning rigs are. After seeing all the details, my personal winner is Dlinc. His rig, with Transformers-style, fully-articulated rotatable monitors and keyboards, is absolutely stunning and the most useful of them all.
Dlinc, the reader who sent us the pictures of the LEGO Millennium Falcon unboxing, also included a picture of his computer rig, which looks as if it belongs right in the Falcon itself. I don't know about you but I am absolutely amazed by its space-combat-meets-CTU looks. Which got me thinking: what kind of work/play computer areas do you have? Send us your photos or post a link to pictures in the comments. We will publish them in a gallery at the end of the week.
When we want to use our laptops in bed, we usually grimace through the third-degree burns or find some kind of laptop stand. This guy takes it one step further, creating a sliding laptop mount for his ceiling, complete with tracks and a power system to keep his unit charged as well. See the video to see what we mean when we say this is the laziest bastard we've seen in a while. [Instructables via Core77 via TechEBlog]
The problem with massive online games is that they're full of other people. In order to bypass the need for interaction and reliance on outsiders, one gamer (and, get this, his girlfriend) decided to take on the responsibilities of an entire World of Warcraft guild himself. Gaze upon the 47 PC setup that allows two gamers to simultaneously control 23 independent accounts each. More info on the hardware after the jump.
