Pictures of your trading stations

So, my mother-in-law is coming to stay for 2 weeks. I own a 3 bedroom home, with the smallest 3rd bedroom as my office-until this morning. I moved my rig down to the family room I built 4 years ago, which, by the way, nobody uses because a 30" hi-def tv is no longer "big enough".
Oh, somebody kill me, please. I would do it myself, but my wife told me I couldn't.
New office, only temporary. (sure).

Oh man, I sympathize with you. Your trading setup reduced to sitting on a kid's table underneath the stairs

. Look on the bright side though, at least you can see more of your kids when you are trading during the day.

the last thing id want to see when im trying to trade are lil kids running around.

If you can trade successfully with kids running around then you've mastered your life. Sitting meditation is key.

This is my setup.

I have a Core-i7, Core2-Duo, Pentium-D 3.2GHz, a PS3, a Mac with a core2-duo, a p2-450, a p3-1GHz, PS2 running Linux, a pentium-M, a G4, 16-port switch, wireless backup router, a NAS, 4TB storage, ... and a gamecube [for fun.]

There's a ticker plant, backup, and automated trading simulations running. All the systems run Linux or Mac OS X, except for my one main desktop, and that runs Vista.

One box is a dummy that automates video game playing for me on the net, like poker, or facebook games, etc. I get a kick out of it.

My biggest problem? The apartment here in Manhattan doesn't have enough power to run everything, so I turn off about a third of the cluster every day after 7:30pm. No microwave during the day.

Air-conditioning is in-the-wall, behind the rack of computers.
