I had to take some time last night and redo my set up in the tech room. My Wife and I have an entire bedroom we aren't using (3 bedroom house, one spare room for guests, and one we weren't going to use) so we made one room a tech room with all out computers, and other little gadget workshop . After re-arranging some of the monitors and a desktop on my desk, I can now use my BSD test box without neck strain heh.
