Whether you are working on a Mac, a PC, or even both, the way your workstation is setup tells more or less about your attitude and style of working. The workstation could also be your source of inspiration, therefore you might want to put in more thoughts on the place that you’ll spend most of your time at.

We crawled through the net, checking out at how people setup their workstations, focusing how what machines they use, how they are positioned, the decorations, and how other peripherals come in order. Some might think setting up a cool workstation is nothing much but an ‘ego-thing‘ but we’ll like to add a point – lots of great ideas and inspiration came from great working environment, particularly the workstation.

Now if you agree, or maybe just curious to see how other people’s workstations look like, here a compilation of 50 Greatest Computer Workstation Setups. Full list after jump.
