greeting
I am new to the forum. I put that view to set my cell. I'm in Croatia, I have set anemometer on the roof of 10 m height, and sensors are placed on a grass surface at 2 m height. Now I have a half ago some two months bought a new Davis station, and before her I had ws3600 TFA, it is still valid but I have it apart.

Wow, not only a great setup, but look at the view out the window!

 
Here's my Weather Station Mission Control. I got tired of the endless clutter and cables associated with all of my multiple PCs and peripherals, so I built everything into a 21U Rack Enclosure.
...see images below...

From top to bottom the rack houses: Power dist panel, AM/FM Stereo, Cable Modem/Sonicwall Firewall-Router, extra drives, HP Procurve Switch, Cyberpower UPS, KVM Switch, 2U Chassis, 3U Chassis, 4U Chassis, Rackmount Keyboard Tray.
...see images below...
Same view with the PC Chasis doors open.
...see images below...
Closeup of the PC section. Each PC is built with Thermaltake Hot-Swappable SATA drive bays and a temp monitoring panel. The middle 3U Chassis holds my weather station 24/7 computer, while the bottom 4U Chassis is my General Purpose Desktop - both are multi core (Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge respectively) running Win 7. The Top 2U Chassis is an older Dual Core running XP for misc uses (right now, running an extra webcam).

That is a sweet setup Moose Whisperer!.
I've got a long way to go before I get my APRS/Wx terminal ready to Display.
and I'm gonna improve my existing home network with a few updates as well.
Again I must say it is very impressive and a nice looking working weather room.
after all it takes people with a Passion and Dedication for Observing and reporting weather data.
I'm currently working on replacing the fans in a computer I already have as when I put the station on the air it will be on 24/7
reporting and recording weather data. which it will be alot of fun to see the weather happening out the window and see the Graphs and Charts change. though I can say I like a combination of both analog & Digital.
and I must say some of the Other weather rooms look pretty good to after all it is a room you work in during severe weather.
Even though working on my setup is when I have some spare time available, which doesn't happen much except for a weekend warrior project or two.
best of luck everyone

Well, here's my freshly modified weather room.
Located in the far western side of my house, about 30-40 metres away from the ISS outside.

First picture. Vantage Vue console can be seen on the left side of the desk, iPad 3 sitting infront of the console. Macbook Pro is to the right of that, it is my normal day to day use computer. Weather computer can be seen in the background running Cumulus & Yawcam.



Here's a close up of the weather PC monitor, running Cumulus for general weather recording with YawCam showing a live webcam preview in the bottom right. As I don't use this computer very often, I only have the monitor and mouse on the desk with both tower and keyboard hidden away under the desk.

Aardvark has finally taken the lead here by showing a working weather room, not an area tidily manicured for a promotional picture.  At last I can admit to my sloth.

Panorama of Computer/Entertainment Room with Weather Area on Left and Internet Hub on Right.  I won't bore you with any more messy details.


WOW! Nice room! :D Looks like the weather enthusiasts heaven! :D

Here is my simple setup. On the top shelf is my Vue console to the right with the Cisco E2500 Router in front and the laptop WX PC on the side laying flat and on 24/7 and I connect to it through Team Viewer from the PC below. Second shelf is Bose PC speakers, Canon printer and Motoroloa 6121 Cable Modem. On the bottom is the Midland WR300 radio and my 24in Samsung monitor mounted to the desk. Then at the bottom is my main PC (the PC I just built) as my main PC. Yes thats a granite urn of my pug Jasmine that passed away in August of 2011  on the top shelf at the right. One of these days I'll have more space and want an eyefinity setup.


That puts your PC in perspective. Looks even better! Did you build that unit it's in?

Sorry to hear about the Pug.

My weather station is a 15' x 15' room with two 60" office type desks and a computer corner 32" x 32".  I use paper work sheets, data records to do a 7am wx report to NWS and CoCoRaHS.  Most of my wx hobby is tinkering with equipment.  The room has shelving for oscilloscopes, meters, parts bins, and 6 wx station displays.  One desk is my workbench.  The other desk catches overflow.  I have a laptop and a small pro XP (VWS/WLIP/Wxcoder/CoCoRaHS), and a HP 8500 printer.  Along another wall are 4 oak tool cabinets.
My sun porch is my dirty work area.  I have a drill press on a cabinet stand.  One stainless steel top workbench is for stained glass with drawers for glass and tools.  An executive desk is for big equipment maintenance, plastic moldmaking and casting.  That desk is also for engraving.  This area is also for house projects such as chain saw and lawn mower repair.
A great room upstairs has old items that I don't need often.
I have two granite tables and benches outside near the weather sensors.  I use that area to modify wx sensors, to grill and eat on special occasions with friends.
I would give up all these toys if a special lady would move in and tell me that I can't have all this clutter.

This is my latest gear setup. My Vantage Pro2 console is mounted in a different location but links via IP. The weather computer is running Weather Display, Cumulus and Weather Data Transfer Utility for the Envoy8x. The Iomega iConnect on the right runs Meteohub and drives www.portsaintlucie.com. Weather Display is driving www.pslwx.com. I access the computer through VNC from other areas since I am rarely in the house.
