    I'd like to know what he watches on the other 7 monitors that he wouldn't let be photographed....

    Sorry to disappoint anyone out there that thought we had a gadget-loving, awesome prime minister here in Norway.

    If you read the norwegian captions for the original images it is clear that he is visiting a film studio for recording some commercials for the upcoming election, and during one of the breaks he is reading the news on the directors/editors desk.

    IF however this was his rig AND he stopped wasting my money I would consider voting for him. :)

    I give him credit for trying to swing a hep Batcave-cum-bachelor pad. However it fails in its execution in several key ways.



    If you're going to have a bad-ass monitor setup, you need to have a bad-ass chair. I'm all for functional charcoal suede but that back is not nearly high enough. A bad-ass chair should either be like the Emperor's La-Z-Boy or it should at least recline like the cyberpunk dentist chairs in the Matrix.



    Second, a bad-ass monitor setup exists to intimidate your enemies with your AV prowess. Shoving it against a wall completely negates that. Ideally, your bad-ass monitor setup should be mounted on poles forming a circle in the center of the room (run the cables under the floor). You can put your bad-ass chair in the middle.



    Third, a bad-ass monitor-setup does not run Windows. At least, it doesn't let you know that it's running Windows. Go over to Lifehacker, find a bad-ass desktop customization, hire the guy to make you one, and then throw the guy into a fjord.



    Fourth, a bad-ass monitor setup neither has a minimalist but functional birch table fashioned along Scandinavian sensibilities nor a bottle of Frappucino. You either drink the most esoteric coffee or tea ever cultivated or you drink the tears of virgins, filtered over icicles.



    Fifth, a bad-ass monitor setup does not have a milled aluminum waste bin by it. Install a trap door like a normal psychopath.



    Sixth, a bad-ass monitor setup does not use sunlit windows for illumination. All illumination should come from the floor. And if anyone tracks dirt on it, you have a handy trap door.



    Seventh, a bad-ass monitor setup does not involve a First Alert carbon monoxide detector by it.



    Sorry, but the Architect had a much better bad-ass monitor setup; this is just rampant failure.

    @OMG! Ponies!: You forgot to add that his bad ass monitor setup should include 8 LCD HDTV's instead of regular punny monitors.

    @Atriel: The resolution of those Dell monitors is higher than 1080p each so he should not use HDTVs.

    @nocode: Nah, you should see it when he tries. When people who have actually mastered the english language enough to use it for expression instead of simple communication, boredom and the internet make some crazy things flow from their fingers.
