Now that's a setup!
Friday, June 20, 2008 
I added some hardware to my office at work, and it's all sitting atop a nice cart I can move around as I need to. Why a cart? Well, I'm using a 42" Westinghouse 1080p LCD as a monitor for a suped-up Dell with a monster graphics card and plenty of RAM.
I ran some Cat-5 from my ethernet hub to the new machine and slapped it on the network, mapped a network drive where I keep a ton of my development files, and it sits there in order for me to test certain applications I am writing.
I code on another PC at my desk (mainly just for the 24" Dell and the FlashDevelop on it), I have the FLA on the network open on my 8-core MacPro.
I make a few tweaks in FD, publish on the Mac (another 24" Dell), and via a shortcut to the SWF on the network I am viewing the new application. It's awesome... and with MTASC I can get around the whole Mac thing and inject bytecode from the classes... but I am usually making tweaks to visual library assets there.
I could do the SVN thing (and I will anyway), but I don't need to worry about updating a repo or anything. Publish, done.
I'm getting LCD-burn from being surrounded by the walls of light, but it's an awesome environment. I took some pictures of the setup too. Maybe I'll upload those.
