The specs make me dizzy.
The whole setup is composed by 40 24" panoramic monitors, driven by six computers with Intel Core i7 975, 24GB of memory, two SLC Solid State Drives in a RAID 0 configuration, and a whole bunch of Nvidia NVS 420s and Nvidia 9800 GTs cards. Each computer drives a different number of displays, sitting on a small hidden room with a dedicated air conditioning unit.
According to Steve, he uses this setup for "intraday trading and development". Hooookay. [Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve_price82/sets/72157623389907037/) via Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/5481921/the-day-traders-paradise)]
