Let me also be clear. I did not create this thread to "Show off" or boast about my setup. I posted it so we could look at each others setup and what we run SimSig on. My setup is not just used for SimSig. You could have a computer or laptop with Windows 95 on it. It's still a setup and still a post welcomed in this thread. This thread was never intended to make people feel the way some have felt whilst viewing it and if you feel that way then I can only apologise.

Mines isn't anything special. Two tv's that are different sizes, a keyboard and a mouse. Does the job, especially when testing can have two sims open on either side and compare outcomes etc. Away from Simsig, gaming on one screen and whatever else on the other. (Excuse the clutter)

Two ordinary 1920×1080 screens for me, side by side. I only ever have one sim window and stretch it across all of the left screen and most of the right; I feel like I’d get confused with multiple windows scrolling around independently. I put the timetable window, message window, and (if multiplayer) chat window on the far right. The clock goes above the window normally, or in the far-right column with the other three for those sims that are really tall and need the few extra vertical pixels (e.g. London Bridge).

As I said in an earlier post, I have a 15” Dell laptop between two monitors, a 24” on the left and 21” on the right. If the layout allows, I put the Train List in the top right of the righthand monitor. If not, I minimise it along with a Simplifier in case it’s needed. The Incident Report and message windows always sit at the top of the lefthand monitor and the clock and Telephone calls are position at the top corners of the laptop screen. There's invariably a cup of coffee or a glass of water on the place mat, but I've drunk everything now :)  I’m currently playing a Staffordshire timetable. ... Edit: For some reason the photo hasn't opened. The first one was corrupted, so I tried to change it and this is the result. Obviously done something wrong

For my setup, I have two Asus 24" monitors, hung above each other from my Ikea shelving unit I call a desk. They are running from an awful Zoostorm 7200-8003/A which has a Celeron 1037U CPU and 4 GB of RAM and an SSD running Win 10 21H2. The integrated wireless N card which gives me a 3ms ping to my own router. If I try to load a web page whilst in a host, and on TeamSpeak, my TS way go all robotic and or my SimSig may stop responding for long enough for me to worry I've fallen off the host For peripherals I have a wireless Kensington Expert (For RSI relief), cheap backlit mechanical keyboard, Fiio Olympus 2 DAC spitting audio to either a cheap sound bar or by Beyerdynamic 990 Pro headphones. I also have an old HP webcam pointed at the wardrobe to act as the mic for my TS. The lower monitor is where the View window resides and depending on how tall the sim is the clock and messages may be in default locations or moved to the bottom of the upper monitor. The train list, messages and Show timetable windows are generally setup on the upper monitor. When open TeamSpeak sits to the right of the top monitor, below the basket hanging from the shelf above.
