Top 96 Kick Ass Home Office Setups
Huge amounts of electricity? Yes.
For many of us, we're on the computer(s) everyday. If you're a business nerd making money on the web then it's worthwhile to plunk a few grand into a kickass office setup.
Okay, maybe you don't need to go this far
Yet many of these are simplistic, just plain nice looking office setups. The kind that make you feel cozy. Because having an impressive looking home office setup doesn't necessarily mean it has to be an intense, elaborate setup with quad monitors, 3 desktop computers and 2 laptops. Although that is pretty sweet. And that's why they're included too.
So here are the top 96 kick ass home office setups. For a closer look click the link in the heading for each image to view the original source. Special thanks to the Hard OCP Forums and their boatload of nerds posting setups from all over the globe.

those are a lot of screens
I love your blog. Here is my office: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/2311461354_a5beaf18ef.jpg
I wish I had that many moniters :( Very nice setups though :)
If you publish a top list, you really should add numbers so the entries can be referenced...
Holly shit! Those are very nice setups! :) I am so jealous... anyhow, congrats to those owners!!
Damn! Now I'm really jealous till my bones!
mam, i wanu you to buy me this
Gotta love the Amiga 1000 the "Sick Setup"!!! :-)
Best is the three 30". Thats a lot of desktop
Thanks for the link. A couple of things, though: 1. This shot is better: http://flickr.com/photos/timsamoff/536130402/ (Gotta have all 6 monitors in the shot after all.) ;) 2. It's not a "home" office -- it's my "work" office -- so I don't think it qualifies for this post. Still, you can leave it on if you'd like.
'Roger's Desktop' - the center monitor (20.1" widescreen) has now been replaced with a 24", and the T60P laptop has been 're-tasked'(it's now a folding box) and replaced with a Dell Precision M6300. I'll get new photos up on the [H] once I get some cleaning done. R
All those Dell screens make me want to puke!
Post dugg! My logitech wingman force formula wheel would be a perfect combination with the Quad LCD setup :)
I'm not impressed... my pc in my home: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/6826/62790042iu6.jpg and http://www.nvmania.com.br/upload/fotos/5bc107a6d5.jpg
@Secco: yeah, you definitely have got a kick ass setup at your home mate :P
Read all about how Aware Bear (owned by Andre Leite Alves) took one of the images (from the office of the first picture above), altered it to paste himself into it, and then used it for commercial purposes for his computer repair/maintenance business. http://www.stefandidak.com/2008/10/17/awarebear-andre-leite-alvez-irresp...
Those Dell 24" look gorgeous, I'd love to have one at work! ....unfortunately I only retouch photos for the web, wich anyway need to be passed in low resolution...so having a huge monitor is not a necessity, but I'll try to convince my boss :) Can anyone help me finding good excuses to convince him?
Wow, there are some unbelievable set ups going on here. I like the triple screen views. It brings ideas into mind. Thanks, Matt B
Nice collection of images. Thought I'd share mine: http://www.biscade.com/office/ Also, if you do another article or update, Stefan has a new set-up.
yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, this is really awesome....now i have this link in my wish list...hope someone will give it all to me....lololololololololololollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
apik apik tenan komputere... kapaaan iso koyo ngono kui... Duh Gusti paringana sabaar... ;p THOSE ALL LCD N SETTING ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! the hacker setting is my favourite :)

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man tht is tha collest set up ever man u guys are legends i wish i cood get set ups like ur u mad guy AAAAAWWWWWEEEEEESSSSSSOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great set ups. I wouldn't mind having 4 monitors nicely situated in my office.
That 4-screen monitor set up is pretty sweet! This definitely motivates me to get cracking on setting up my home office! Thanks for the inspiration.
After reading through this post I realize I'm going to have to step up my game if my nerd business friends are going to take me seriously. :)
I am impressed with the home office. I just have 2 computers myself. I work at home myself and as my income progresses, I will go for the same set up. Thanks again for sharing, Dave
Some killer setups !!! Love the one with the decks all rolled in one ;)
These setups are amazing. I know we should all be conserving power, but these would be nice to have.
That's awesome setup man.. Especially 90's Disco setup by Matt Johnson. Dammnn...looks amazing!.. I wish... . :P
how do you hook your pc consol up to your laptop like in picture 12 from bottom ??? respond ASAP
Sick Sick Sick!! I'm going to spend some money tomorrow! yahooooo!
The first set up is just sickkk...
These home setups look amazing! They gave me a couple of great ideas on how to set up my new affiliate network office, I think I'm gonna use the four LCDs idea and the plant, a nice feng-shui touch.
Mine desk setup is a little different to others. From behind the computer I have a great view though. http://www.pbwebdev.com.au/blog/vista-from-the-office-2.html Either way I think my office set up beats all of these hands down :)
Most of these set ups make my dual 20" monitor station look a little sad. Cool post guys!
Is it sad that i have like.. half the wallpapers seen there? lol
Why in the world would you need that many screen? Haven't these people heard of Remote desktop or shell command? Or how about virtual machines? I wonder how much it cost them to have all those machines running, and I bet some of them don't even serve any real purpose apart from show and tell or to view porn in multi screen! Hehe...
I've got a 2 monitor set up screen. 7 would be fantastic to run the business! maybe a little overkill.
I love these setups! Makes me wanna have triple screens now
Most of the setups are average. Mismatched monitors. CRTs instead of LCDs. Crappy under-desk cable management. Typical Mac setups. Maybe 10% are actually good then 90% are just random submissions.
Everyone who has theirs posted are just happy to have them on here. But I must say that shopping for a desk can bite. I have tried sitting at quite a few of the ones on here and all I can say is it must be nice being average height. My room is tiny so I have no great amount of room but with a little rearranging that will change...
I dont know if I am a contender for the updated 2011 kick ass office setup but ill give it a go. You can view my setup at http://www.outfinitedesigns.com/office Thanks

When you code and design all day its important to be able to reference the layouts properly in multiple screen resolutions and computer speeds without having to run a bunch of diagnostic and emulation programs. Plus its only 1 desktop with multi screens.

Wow those are some kick ass office setups! Looking for ideas for my own office, some of those are very inspirational.
