Sadly, I do have 10 or so boxes in the basement. It's mostly graphic novels in the office.
Make sure you leave them in the bags so they're protected in case you puke on them.
P.S. Nice office!

LOL, just sat down with the owner of our dealership, and showed him some pictures in this thread.
Dual monitor setup shows up next week!
I showed him Thors setup and said "Hey, at least I'm not asking for this."
Well done! Once you go dual, single monitor is brutal.
My first multi monitor setups were with CRTs. Can you imagine the horrible desk space that used up?
The greatest part about that and something that I miss was that CRTs screens are static charged so instead of a page holder I would just stick pieces of paper (they would even stack) directly onto the screen of my second monitor when I needed to reference to type from them.
Well, for me it is a no brainer. I can have up to 4 different windows/websites open for 1 deal. So if I can run split screens, on 2 monitors I am laughing.

Can't wait.
Well that settles it, you have to go for 4 monitors then.

You can actually do multi-monitor through software, I used to do this at school and people would look at me funny because I would pull the monitor next to me by my computer and also a laptop without hooking up any cables, people would see me magically dragging windows from one computer to another.
There's various software that allows you to do this so you could just put a laptop beside your computer, plug it into the internet or WiFi and have it act as a 2nd or 3rd monitor.
One I've found to work well is Maxi Vista but you have to pay for it but it has a free demo. http://www.maxivista.com/

Windows 7 split screen actually makes it really easy to do 4 windows at once, as long as you have any reasonable sized monitor.
Pylon, the most important shortcut you can use with 2 mionitors is the windows key + your left and right arrows. It allows you to easily snap to half monitor sized windows, since it will not only snap to the external sides but your internal sides as well. If you try to snap to the center with the mouse, it wont work.

I could never get used to split screens myself except for certain tasks (copying files from one explorer window to another, for instance). Just felt claustrophobic to me.
Mostly my windows are maximized, and I move windows from one screen to another. As such, I use Windows key-up arrow to maximize, and Windows Key-shift-left/right arrow to quickly move windows from one screen to another.
Sys admin, we are the monitoring guys for our IT company, we watch among many things our data center, our hosting/co-lo servers, cell phone network for the 2nd biggest provider in Iceland, our mainframe for the government agencies (green text matrix screen), as well as offer IT support for our clients. It would take a few paragraphs to go over everything, but thats mainly what we deal with most.
Its a great job to learn tons of things about all kinds of crap in the IT world, I get so many varied issues I have to solve that its great fun for me, but that means our department has 6 full time guys who have to cover 24/7 year round shifts.
Figure IŽll do this for another few years before settling into our net department (working on CCNA/NP) or maybe just sys admin for our linux/unix department which is sorely needing more people.
Now if we could just get those last 2 screens working, thats being worked on we just have no more outputs for the 2 computers, 1 computer has 8 screen from 2 video cards split into a 3 dvi splitter.

This is good info thank you, as I sometimes get a window stuck on a TV in another room. Now if only I can remember it when I need it.
I don't like sitting in the office and still like doing benchwork, so I've appropriated a corner in the lab. I'm sure the students love the fact that I'm always here.
