What is your work PC like?

Dell D630 in dock, running 2x 17" 1280x1024 Dell screens. DVI looks good, VGA looks awful.

2.0ghz
4GB
120GB HDD

Dull, dull, dull.

Its 16 monitors all together, with a further 10 being added in the next couple of months :eek:

I'm entirely sold on the benefits of multi-monitors (everybody in our office has them) but 8 or 16... Do you monitor a lot of stuff?

I think the last count total was about 30. Some only require mon-fri support, but some of the goverment and classified accounts need 24x7 protection. Plus we monitor our own network as well.

Its is getting to be a trend that the bigger the account, the more monitoring & support we have to provide. Hence why were getting 10 more screens in next month as there just for one account, but if they want it, they pay for it ;)

i work in it security. most of my work is done via a dual screen wyse terminal which connects to a rather large xenapp farm, however - i'm rolling out hard drive encryption at the moment so i'm using a hp probook 6540b (i3, 4gb, 320gb hdd, w7 32-bit enterprise) docked to the same screens. i try and get away with doing as much as possible using my macbook pro though - down to personal preference!
 
Not really "work", but at college we have a mixture... for normal classrooms they have core2duos(not sure about specs), the library is poor with some pentium D's and in media rooms they have i5 imacs (very nice)
 
In my current job, when I started 2.5 years ago I started on a Intel T5200 I think it was 4GB ram Toshiba Satellite Pro 17" laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise.

I then had a new work laptop about 8 months ago I think now which is my current one

HP G62
Intel Core i3
4GB ram
230GB HDD
15.6" notebook
Windows 7 64-bit (Enterprise Edition)

Pretty good, only flaw really is the touch pad which I am not keen on.

About 6 year old tech, but tbh for my work as embedded developer, it's plenty capable.
I'm sure it'd be painful with Windows on it :p

Slightly depressing that a core-i5 machine at work compiles a project I work on 23 times (yes, 23) faster.

Mine is something like...

Windows 7
i3 @ 3.2/3?
4GB Ram
500GB HDD
Matrox Graphics card
4x20" Dell monitors

I don't think I could go back to a single monitor in a work environment!
 
Dell Optiplex 380
Intel Dual Core E5300 @ 2.6Ghz
4Gb RAM
80Gb SATA HDD
Onboard graphics/sound
19" TFT Monitor
Win XP Pro SP3 :p

Just over a year old now, does the job though.
 
HP computer (no idea what model)
Core 2 Quad Q9650
4gb RAM (but only 3.25 available due to XP 32)
2x Quadro NVS 290
3x 19" Samsung SyncMaster 940Fn
80gb HDD
Windows XP 32
 
Lenovo T400s is my chosen work machine, P9400 CPU with 6GB and 128GB SSD, WWAN, with the ultrabay replaced with a battery. Hooked up to a 24" when at home.

I do have access to many other faster/lighter machines but I feel this is a really good compromise between power and portability.

Thanks

Since I work in the University IT department we have to make do with whatever stuff is left over - most of our kit is 4-6yrs old.

The staff and particularly, new staff get all the brand new machines and hardware. We have to produce a valid report as to why we need something with multiple evidential points...
