I could put almost everything down to the ground and use syngery would it work? Currently I am running a webserver on linux but I am planning to install a couple servers my only problem is that I have a home use internet so my options are really limited. Attila Hey,

Since you are or will soon be making changes to your office I hope you are considering a SAN solution, especially iSCSI, with virtualized storage. iSCSI SAN is ideal for your setup since you have so many systems and will make your storage management lot easier and replacing servers would not affect the storage, I am sure you must of thought about this option, but thought you should consider that route. Also, two racks (ultra quiet ones - www.kellsystems.com), one for storage and other for rack systems will reduce your storage footprint as well. I recommend and build solutions for my customers, especially iSCSI using 10GbE or 1GbE and could point you to a iSCSI vendor if you are interested. And no, not EMC or any expensive vendor.

(here's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seraph/184877735/" title="mine" rel="nofollow">, built for relaxation</a>) I'm really curious about how you've made managing switching between the configurations you've described so efficient. I know you're using a setup of custom menu's and scripts, but I'd love some more detail. In fact I think a video of you navigating these scenarios would be <i>very</i> helpful.

But I haven't had a chance to look at it in detail yet.

I read through the above content and was quite interested in Synergy after you mentioned it. But on the other hand what I am looking for is something that supports monitors as well, I have a couple of spare boxes under the bead but VNC can be a pain to work with when coding and it would be lovely to just move over to another screen like Synergy does. I would be happy to receive an E-Mail from you if you have any suggestions and will be checking back here in a few days. Yours, Dave Hey,

Oh, you know what us multi-screen types say, right? It's not the surface area that matters but the resolution. :-) Projection? Oh, you know what us multi-screen types say, right?

Then again, I prefer coding on my couch in front of a 100" projection screen ;) Maybe when my demands increase I'll adopt your philosophy, except with projectors instead? Very cool, anyway.
