What I have currently going is an 8 sided Compiz cube 2 windows with 15 tabs ...on of which is showing the live feed from the ocean floor at the Deepwater Horizon BOP and seeing the ROV's cutting away of portions of the riser ...I think...

Third face of the octagonal cube has monitor running showing 6 processors working away ...no one of them laboring over 50%...just two of them close to that...

Changing to a different face causes a blip on the cycles...

The Operating system is Linux Mint Release 9 64 bit.

HDD is a Seagate barracuda 1500 Gigabyte ...using the integrated AMD 4290 on the moBo to drive the LG LCD 23 " display...

I Do have an IOGEAR 4X switch between the box and keyboard , mouse and monitor....

So if I wish I can switch to one of the other possible 3 additional Cases with various combinations of processors and video cards....

I am an old Main Frame guy so I like Big Iron around me....LOL!

I use to consider PC as Toys.,...but they have grown up a bit now.
