New Workspace

Well, because of some staffing changes, my office was recently rearranged. During the "move", I gained some desk space. At the same time, I also setup a new computer. The fast workstation I now have under my desk will be used for a Virtual "Test Lab", server staging, and (eventually) a network monitoring station. Here's some pics of the new layout:

Here's the hardware I'm working with:
1. IBM Thinkpad T43: Centrino 1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, 2x HDD (160GB total), removable DVD burner.
2. Custom Built computer (outside of pic): Core2 Quad Q9450, 8GB RAM, 300GB 10k boot disk, 1.3TB of usable disk space (1TB RAID-5 and 300GB RAID-0 array), Dual Nvidia 8600GT, Logitech Z4 speakers and a DVD burner.
3. Displays: 2x Benq G2400WD on an Ergotron Monitor arm, 1x Acer AL2216WBD attached to an Ergotron Laptop/Monitor combo mount.

The 2 Benq LCD's and the Acer are currently all hooked up to the Quad-core rig, and I'm using the Thinkpad stand-alone (although I sometimes use the Acer with it).

Software I work with everyday:
ACS People Suite
Microsoft Office 2007
Mozilla Firefox 3
Mozilla Thunderbird
Putty
UltraVNC
VMWare Workstation 6.0
Winamp

I'm thankful that I've got such a great setup of tools to use every day.

I am struggling with avarice! It's beautiful!

I won't ever be photographing my workstation, but I love it all the same.
