Is it just for you? If so, I'd push all 3 monitors together and run a setup to combine them. I wouldn't be able to stand that center support. From the control panel placement, it looks like it'd be right between your knees.

This would sit on the wall in front of my couch. It would hold my main tv (samsung 40") as well as both mine & my wifes Dell LCD's. It would hold a total of 3 CPU's & our other equipment like dvr etc...
This middle station is primarily ment to be use while standing so I wasn't thinking the knee thing would matter but maybe I should back it up a little...

Hhmmm..... as an entertainment center it's kind of....
As a desk it's....

OK, look, where are you going to put anything? The computers, DVDs, printer, office supplies, anything at all? You're going to have this really nice desk, but no place to put anything except three monitors and their HUID.

Just a thought. It's your project. :)

OK... I didn't realize that was standing height. It makes more sense now.

That's pretty slick, however in your living room it might seem more like a terrorist organization's call centre. If you don't have an office or other place for the computers I like this design; I can see it being a pain tryingf to watch tv when someone's right next to the screen typing away.

It is however 100% cool looking.
