Kickass Computer Rig Looks Like Death Star Combat Station

gizmodo.com — [PIC] Dlinc, the reader who sent us the pictures of the massive LEGO Millennium Falcon unboxing, also included a picture of his computer rig, which looks as it belongs right in the Falcon itself. I don't know about you, but I am absolutely amazed by the space combat meet CTU look.

  • L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -4/+112Ummm...how does that look anything like Death Star Combat Station?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40To tell you the truth I expected something much more impressive...
  • hydroplane, on 10/10/2007, -6/+39Looks more like JP's setup in Grandma's Boy.
    Adios Turd Nuggets....
  • Tanpreet, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32i think it looks more like the setup used in the Matrix by the operator's
  • 1337Einstein, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Beyond the fact that it has screens, it looks almost nothing like a Death Star Power Station.
    Still looks nice though.
  • markp93, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24An -excellent- addition to your parents' basement, sir.
  • Achaean, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18death star combat station? looks like the "matrix" computer stations from the matrix movies
  • Smeed, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Nothing special IMO
  • BlackJackJester, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17What, no box of tissues?
  • Linkage155, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13In this guy's case, yes there is. It's a mac.
  • TwistyMcFister, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12@hydroplane, I was thinking the exact same thing

    Kane: "I think that the music was a little loud."
    JP: "Are you afraid of it?"
    Kane: "No, I...I just don't like techno..."
    JP: "You would if you had robot ears."
  • samcrut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Kids these days have no idea what 70s scifi looks like. That's way closer to Cypher's Matrix monitoring station than anything Star Wars. If you want to peg it for an 70s tribute, I'd go with "Niel Peart drum kit." =)
  • adammharvey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8looks like an editing station to me.
  • IllBeBack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+820 years from now that will look like stone tablets being delivered by Moses.
  • wafflez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6why would you put a dual monitor on TOP of your primary monitor?
  • jpop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6More matrix than death star.
  • serpanterra, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Looks more like the rig from Swordfish, but either way looks fun.
  • terminal157, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6No.
  • Billions, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5oops?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7WHAT you to it??
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I don't know but is that porn on the left monitor?! *squints eyes*
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Mmmm, S&M
  • HanSolo69, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5how are you supposed to commence primary ignition with that?
  • Markus123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5compensating for something?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5That thing is ***** UGLY.
  • moskaudancer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Love the imagery. I'm assuming from the exquisite detail in your description that you spend a lot of time in such places? :)
  • decker12, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Looses points for the trackball. And for not having any flat writing surface or a place to put your rum and coke.
  • xlent, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3geeky
  • Billions, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I think you got nosed out by the Cintiq 21ux.
  • cypherz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3meh
  • legendxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3what the ***** does a Death Star Combat Station look like?
  • swanny89, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4You named it "El Diablo Blanco"? For Shame...
  • vhtrading, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Inaccurate. It looks like nothing from Star Wars, let alone a "Death Star Combat Station". How many of you were clicking on this expecting to see something like huge control panels with hundreds of blinking lights and sliders that would activate the Death Star's superlaser?
  • GotoDengo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I looks like a hodgepodge of flatpanels. Dont' get me wrong, I'd love to have it, but I'm not getting an Imperial vibe - I'm getting a "geek with too much money on his hands".
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Its a Mac Pro, *****...
  • sega01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ha, I love the massive multi-LCD setup with such a cheap "standard" keyboard. I was hoping for a DAS keyboard or IBM model M :-).
  • loganz, on 10/10/2007, -5/+7this is not impressive at all.. buried
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You kidding? I hate windows too, but at least its users aren't almost all universally up their own asses so far they can see daylight.
  • thesuperrad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Neck strain.
  • Jeebugorn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4nowhere near as sexy as this computer.....

    man, i wish i could go to school at devry
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You kidding? I hate windows too, but at least its users aren't almost all universally up their own asses so far they can see daylight.
  • darkzealot89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Epic Fail!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No Bad. This guy uses www.hollaender.com SpeedRail product with aluminum pipes for the framing. This type of stuff will hold elephants from escaping. This is the same stuff used in Movie studios, etc.. I also use the same stuff for furniture. Check out my profile pictures to see my unit. It is different than his but same principle. But, than he has a need for multi-monitors. I was looking for one to hold my single monitor. Now, I know they make them.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Uh, yes, look under the left monitor...
  • SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1only five screens?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1To me it looks like a computer set up on a stand made from speedrail.
    you could use ultimate support thinker toys and save some money.
  • Legolover64, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It looks like the battle terminals in the Matrix actually, the ones operated in the sequels.
  • noumuon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i see the apple sign under the monitor now. i just wasn't sure because the keyboard on the left looks to have the windows key on it. oh, and thanks to the people who dugg me down for asking a question.
  • soupnrc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"All I’ve ever cared about was video games and they made me a millionaire. So maybe I don’t know what the Civil War was, or who invented the helicopter even though I own one, but I did beat The Legend of Zelda before I could walk."

    hahaha
  • gerrylazlo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This would make a kick-ass flight simulator rig. It will be mine. Oh yes...it will be mine.
