These speakers… best bang for your buck.

Not in that room they aren’t.

Too bad the up-to-date OS would make those extra displays useless 50% of the time…

What kind of foot massager is that? And does it work? Nice setup!

Funny, before reading the comments, I was thinking the speakers (while fantastic for a computer setup) are kind of on the low end of audiophile scale, and are more geared towards home theater. I use TAD CR-1′s – but that my own audio obsession/problem… I love the monitor mounts – will have to look into those. I also use a 30″ ACD – but mine is a little long in the tooth with intermittent green sparklies – I wish Apple would release a new 30″ with the new Mac Pro (I use the Mac pro 1.1 in a professional video environment with a 24″ sitting to the left and a professional Sony multiformat TV monitor – so I also have a 3 monitor display.

I build my own desk for my particular ergonomics and to house a sony HDV deck, JL Cooper MCS color correction trackballs, Never Portico and RME audio gear and a Mackie MCU pro mixer surface.

Wish I could invest in Ben’s fund myself – need to buy some additional gear. Any info on it?

Haters! So what if he has this type of set up! This site is about posting setups, and he did, and I like it.

“This work station is about excess. It’s never been about necessity in my book”.
” money means nothing to me but its that ability to disregard it that allows me to invest without getting emotional.”
Totally agree with you Ben.
All this jealousy is laughable.
Beautiful setup btw.

Agreed. This is an amazing Mac setup, and this thread is about Mac setups. Personally, I think there is some jealousy in the comments, because frankly not all of us can afford such a killer workstation and that may rub some people the wrong way.

Killer set-up. Anyone that disses it is just crying because they really wish they had it. Who cares if someone has their shoes in their home office picture? Wieners.

My investors are perfectly aware of my set up, it is a big selling point for me to get additional investors. It has a “wow factor” that I cannot yet put a price on. I recently raised $76,000 in start up capital in 3 days without a business plan based on my set up and the confidence I bring to the table. This set up has payed for itself many times over. It’s a good investment that keeps giving back everyday. I only can do this because I there are few people out there that can provide over a 6000% return on their investment within the first year. So yes, my investors know money means nothing to me but its that ability to disregard it that allows me to invest without getting emotional.
