The number 3 spot goes to Steve Larson, for his rig that won the Gizmodo Reader’s best computer rig contest back in 2007. Even by today’s standards, it is a sick setup. It definitely looks like it belongs on a ship in The Matrix.
He is in the process of building a new setup right now; it is being documented on his Flickr stream. His new setup looks immense, with at least 15 monitors. It looks like it could be the command center for NASA.
In an ideal world, this is what my room would look like. I am just a few years away from collecting that much computing equipment.
Check back tomorrow for #2.
