The ultimate 3 screen setup for a designer

[nagualdesign]

Whoa!

[supermann505]

how do you setup 3 monitors??

[CineGolem]

Are the mac & pc environments on separate computers or is there some kind of parallel controller on a single machine running two OS's?

[muk546]

@CineGolem

no windows is being emulated

[MoFoHo72]

shit

[VincentSinclair]

i have eight 32" monitors

i have the real master set up,

[CSMiller00]

man thats wierd having a mac and windows combined as sorta one computer

[rawrgrr4298]

@CSMiller00 It's not a separate OS, it's an emulator.

@rawrgrr4298

Read the description please.

[kjetil297]

what do its called when you have 5 screens

[walter0bz]

Nice, but to turn this into a Command Centre you require a 4th monitor mounted vertically above the centre one, or a 2x2 layout.

[HeyGenius]

can we get some details on how u did it

[rorymorris1]

Its a Winmac !

[Augmen1]

it would probably be easier if the far left and right monitors were tilted inward a bit.

[palmerpoop]

Well you never know. This dude might have a huge head. Heheheh.

[FunkyMrC]

awesome

[jjtwintip]

what did this has to do with a ultimate screen setup for DESIGNERS

[umcheese]

Because "hardcore" designers find it alot easier to work with multiple screens.

[jjtwintip]

but the mac and pc part? use a mac!!!

[umcheese]

I think hes just wierd :p

[humantestdummy]

yea its called a kvm switch...

[festa030]

just get parallels instead of having to deal with actual shitty pc's

[LandRoverRangeRover]

th efusion ware program is good too i have both programs running of different mcs and they are both really nice

[tazerfire]

right click on your desktop depending if you have a graphics card and what type it is they allow you to do different things

[mydogmika]

any one know how to extend the taskbar  across two screens.Ive got two screens on one pc with vista.

[timmie124]

i think they need to be all the same size and pixels or you do horizontal mode

[lifeinhd]

wow... how'd ya do it? Ya got a Mac Pro?

[cmvadnais]

Learn to read, it says a MAC MINI...

[Blahdabbadoo]

Nice to see this. Looks great man.

Still have you tried out the new VMware Fusion (I doubt you'll have need with this).

I just figure for people without the space for the 3 monitors. It would be possible to run 3 virtual windows (with leopards spaces) on one iMac 24". Window applications are more free with VMWare Fusion.

Though that vid does look much better. I love how the mouse can scroll across over to the screen of the mac.

[homiehound]

no u need 2 macs on of the macs is running window(boot camp) other is running mac osx and the middle screen is a display screen (makes your desktop bigger)

[carlangastorres]

new yorker?

[palmerpoop]

More like.. Australian..

[ndfootballch]

nice-you need 3 macs and 0 pcs

[yertalert]

yeah and just run bootcamp if u need to!

[Dudeforgetit]

That is one of the better setups

[fishfishstinkx]

nice setup

[nativeops]

cool

[JinxJolly]

get screenrecycler for a real nice setup !

[christschool]

Very interesting.

[muiscgangsta92]

yea good for you now they sell macs where u can add windows to it. Look at the application PARALLELS!

[RenegadeMaster07]

yeh there is parallels, but parrellels doesnt work like tht does. It's a really cool what he's done.

And for those who say 3 macs 0 pc's, and vice versa, thats silly, i have 2 pc's of my own,and another 3 in the house, and i can't run final cut. If you have one mac in your setup your pretty much setup for anything. You could argue with a Mac and PARALLELS you get the same compatibility, but tbh i'd prefer what this guy has done.

Nice one.

aussie!
