"We spend a lot of time talking about building systems for gaming or for multi-media, but some of us actually work from home or are lucky enough to be allowed to bring in a system we built for work. I’m one of those lucky individuals, and I thought that I would build my own dream system for a weekend project. My traditional problem with this has been that, like many analysts, I run multiple monitors. I tend towards overkill here; I run four of them in a two-down and two-up configuration. Since monitors are so inexpensive now, I’m surprised more folks don’t run at least two because it makes certain kinds of work vastly easier."Four monitors! Yummy! I run dual monitors at work and honestly don't know how I did without it. It really changes the way you work. Unfortunately, there is no way to get quad monitor support when your primary machine is a laptop.
