I got a SUN E450 workstation for free back in the mid 2000s. I got it because it looked super cool, but I wish I had more skills back then to be able to use it! Back in the mid 2000s, I was helping my Dad move his offices from one site to another. While we were there, I had spotted another company that was moving out the offices at the same time, and in particular, saw what looked like a very cool computer.

I want to explain how I use this setup, and how I got here. Perhaps I will encourage you, to experiment with your desk and workflow. Taken in approx Mar 2021 Pictured above, is my desk. It does indeed have 6 monitors. It also has 4 computers with 3 operating systems (2x Linux, 1x Windows — for gaming, 1x Mac — for iOS development). I don’t intend to brag, or show off, or try and say that this set-up is absolutely essential for me and that nothing else would work.
