very nice!! Guessing that's the Renaissance Hotel?
Good call! That's it! Pretty reasonably priced during the summer with a bad economy... I love the view from the top floor.
 
Beautiful setup... would you mind telling where did you get the monitor frame for the centered monitors?

thnks

Slightly updated monitor layout to what I find the most efficient (4) 24" LCD array.

Run two main quad-core systems, plus a 3rd tick factory server (not displayed, located on other side of home office). Bottom 3 LCD's for trading workstation. Top center LCD runs off the backup/news/skype conf&chat/internet browsing system. Both systems are controlled via one keyboard/mouse using Synergy utility. An awesome little script to say the least:

Dual vertical mount in center from Ergotron (DS100 Dual vertical/33-091-200). Allows for full tilt/rotation/height adjustment. Quality build, highly recommend for those thinking of going this route. Center of top LCD @ eye level. The approx 28-30" distance I sit from the array allows me to view all 4 without any neck rotation/tilt. This was an annoyance with all 4 lined up in horizontal fashion.

Chair: All-Steel Acuity
http://www.allsteeloffice.com/acuity/

Acuity by far the best ergo type chair I could find on the market. Relatively new release, so it's probably a little slow to make it to showrooms. I've tried them all, including full-time work in a loaded posture-fit Aeron for several years, as well as significant time in the Steelcase Leap. Simply put, Aeron/Leap are inferior, esp for us taller guys (6'4 here). Demo'd the Recaro's, LifeForms, Humanscale, KAB etc etc. Working the 50-60hr week has never felt so good.

Got my easel/oil paints nearby as I like to paint on occasion during trades on cruise control.

Geez, this thread got long.
 
Out of curiosity, what charting software are you using in the picture?

Quote from UrmaBlume:

Actually that setup is a couple of years old and has been upgraded to drive 8 monitors.

ONE consideration of how many need to be "UP" all the time is the time frame under consideration. In the very fast time frames they all have to be up or signals are missed. At least 2 of the charts are for volume bars that equate to less than 20 seconds per bar.
 
Quote from killthesunshine:

does anyone here arrange their monitors with fung shway in mind?


You're kidding me right?...... LOL

If someone needs feng shui for guidance on positioning monitors, let alone your computer, then you need to come back down from CLOUD 9
