The Ergonomic Workstation from Ergo Motions may look like a dentist's chair, but I must say that if my dentist had this thing in his office, I would be in there for a root canal right away. Ergo Motions mission is to help gamers and heavy workstation users avoid the repetitive stress injuries and posture issues that often result from sitting on your ass and typing away on a computer all day. The Ergonomic Workstation Phase I prototype appears to do that—and much more.

Emperor workstation
Behold the Greatest Workstation of All Time: the Emperor. I mean, come on, anything that looks like it can control a turbolaser battery or fire a giant anti-matter death ray must be the greatest workstation of all time, period. But according to Patrick Laflamme Duval—business developer for manufacturer Novelquest—the name is not a Star Wars nod, but a reference to the emperor scorpion's tail:

It appears that the design team at Mubai-based Planet 3 Studios have done for the office what the Casulo did for small apartments. That is to say, they have found a way to cram a rooms worth of furniture into a box. At a glance, it appears that their "Out-of-Box" workstation incorporates 2 desks, a decent amount of desktop real estate and a ton of storage space into a fairly compact design that can easily be wheeled from one room to another. The design is still very much a work in progress, but the $2350 build price suggests that they will become commercially available. A video of the workstation in action is available after the break.

What Happens When You Burn a Magnesium NeXTCube Computer Case?
If you are old enough to remember, NeXTCubes were high-end workstation computers built in the late '80s and early '90s that featured a die-cast magnesium case. Magnesium was an attractive metal because it was strong and light—but as any high school chemistry student with a penchant for pyromania can tell you, magnesium burns with a brilliant white light. Naturally, this lead some to wonder what would happen if you set one ablaze.

It may not look as hot as the Sync Desktop concept, but the new Revolution Desk provides similar functionality in a product that you can actually own. The simple yet functional design incorporates a unique rotating panel surface that allows for an unobstructed forward view when using the computer, but can completely eliminate the monitor from sight when not in use. And the best part is that the actions are controlled simply by moving the keyboard tray in and out.

dell green pc
Michael Dell, the king of Dell, just previewed his company's smallest and greenest desktop PC yet at FORTUNE Brainstorm: GREEN. There's no name for this mini green PC, shown rendered above, but it's 81% smaller than a mini tower and 70% less energy-consuming. It's also shipped in recycled and recyclable packaging, and look a whole lot like those cheapo Sun workstations that colleges love(d) to use. As long as this machine is at least as powerful as a laptop (we don't mean an Eee PC), we're all for Dell's enviro-conscious direction.

HP is cranking out some smoking workstations these days, and the latest Intel Xeon quad core processors, affectionately known as the Harpertown chips with 45-nanometer Penryn technology inside, take Windows performance to the next level. HP shipped us the fastest workstation they could muster, with a total of eight processor cores, along with a 15,000 RPM SAS (Serial-Attached SCSI) drive on two separate disks, one with Windows XP and the other with Windows Vista, plus a 250GB SATA drive for applications. We opened the box, ran a bunch of benchmarks and our jaws promptly dropped. How much workstation can you get for $8,551? Join us for the smokefest.

The "Ultimate Workstation"
My dad always said, computers are like women: if you need more than 2 or 3, you probably aren't using them correctly. But with a 32 computer capacity, the "Ultimate Workstation" spits in the face of average users and opens the door for the potential of...we actually have no clue that they intend on using it for (either cracking the Pentagon or late night WoW sessions, we'd guess). Eight 17" LCD screens are a bit of a letdown in the setup, while eight full keyboards and mice allow four people to dual task at a time, while dropping their Cheeto crumbs on a gigantic 6'x4' sliding keyboard tray.

Gravitonus Workstation Gets Disabled-Friendly Add-on
The Gravitonus is one hell of a workstation that keeps the user in the most ergonomically optimized position at all times. This workstation is now being adapted for quadriplegics with the addition of ACCS, or alternative computer control system. Basically, a control unit is placed in the mouth that does all of the work and still allows for breathing, drinking, talking, smoking, etc. The addition fo ACCS for the paralyzed is definitely a plus, but I'm still amazed with the actual workstation. Jump to see a video of the original Gravitonus in action. More »

ErgoQuest 500 Lets You Lie Down on the Job
Us bloggers are a lucky bunch. Not only do we get to skip the daily hassle of commuting to and from an office every morning, but now thanks to this contraption, we can also skip the whole "getting out of bed" part. The ErgoQuest 500 is a height adjustable workstation that can be used while sitting, standing, or lying down. It supports up to 400 pounds of equipment and comes with motorized legs and tilt platforms. The $4,000 workstation can even support an optional triple LCD arm. My only fear—this means you'll never be able to call out sick again. More »

Fastest AMD Opteron vs. Intel Core 2 Extreme: (Verdict: Close, But Too Close)
AMD Opteron 2220SE 2.8GHz processors make their debut on the just-released HP xw9400 Workstation today, and they were tested on content creation benchmarks against the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. The result? Even with two of the latest Opterons chugging away, the xw9400 barely beat the 2.93 single-processor Core 2 Extreme Precision Workstation 390 from Dell, and was even soundly beaten on some of the tests.

Dell Core 2 Duo Precision Mobile Workstation M65 Reviewed (Verdict: Excellent but Not as Fast as Intel Says)
Dell rolled out its workstation-class notebook packing a Core 2 Duo processor, where the latest Intel Meron mobile chip is nestled inside a ritzy form factor Dell calls the Precision Mobile Workstation M65. The guys at Digital Media Net were impressed, highly recommending the laptop, and digging its 15.2-inch screen and workstation-class NVidia Quadro FX350M graphics. The loaded $3288 laptop has the 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 processor on board, the fastest one released, and it blew through their benchmarks which are specially tailored for those glamorous content creation types.

Trinity DAW: Linux-Based, Portable Audio Editing

Dell Precision Workstation 690 and 490
Dell ratchets up its Precision Workstations a couple of notches by adding dual core Xeon processors to the mix. The leader of the pack is the Dell Precision Workstation 690, which can be stoked with a pair of dual core Intel Xeon 5080 processors at 3.73GHz and your choice of 32-bit or 64-bit Windows XP. Add to that a 512MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card that can pump out dual monitor DVI goodness, and you're loaded for bear. More »
