    #4: Bilista57′s workspace


    Yesterday, Chris Pirillo took the 5th spot on my list of top 5 workspaces. Bilista57 narrowly beats our Chris Pirillo for the number 4 spot. I first discovered Bilista57′s when browsing youtube, and I discovered his setup video a few months ago. He hast recently posted a few more videos in this post. Bilista57 beat out Chris Pirillo mainly because he had more toys.  They have comparable computer setups, but Pirillo is lacking the gaming systems and big TVs. I am sure that Pirillo has a good entertainment system, but he I haven’t seen it featured on his blog, so he loses out in that category. Also, Bilista57 has a visible server close by, which is definitely FTW.

    Check back here tomorrow for #3.

    #5: Chris Pirillo’s workspace

    chris_pirillo_setup

    Today’s featured workspaces is that of the famous blogger Chris Pirillo.  He has a webcam pointing at this desk 24/7, so you can always check up to see if he’s working. He’ll often have interesting things to say to the camera, so it’s worth the watch.

    His workspace features quite a bit for a geek to lust over. The first thing one notices are the 2 enormous  30″ Dell displays that provide him with ample screen real estate.  His dual monitors are powered by a mac pro. This photo above is out of date, as it still shows Chris running Vista. Above his desk, there are a bunch of flashing coloured lights that actually do serve a purpose. They are 6 TIX LEDs clocks.

    Although Chris is not the first person in the world to use 30″ displays in a dual monitor setup, he was one of the first to popularize it, and make them seem non-excessive to the non-geeks.

    Check back tomorrow for #4, and check out Chris’s Live Stream now.

    A week of work spaces to salivate over

    the V1 chairI have always been envious of many of the elaborate work spaces that I come across online. The likes of Gizmodo and Lifehacker have been highlighting many work spaces over the last few months, and I have been bookmarking the best of these.

    I have compiled a list of what I think are the top 5 work spaces on the internet. Each day this week, I will be highlighting one of these, starting with number 5 on Monday, and counting down to number 1 this Friday.

    My ideal workspace is still a work-in progress. I am going to work as a treeplanter this summer, and I will be putting some of my money earned to doing an overhaul of my workspace at the end of this summer.

    Pictured above is the the V1 Chair, which would be in my room right now if it didn’t have a $2000 price tag.

    Check back here tomorrow for number 5.
