Yeah....I've seen this one before (maybe here? or THR back before the takeover) and it was determined they were pretty much all airsoft.

Yup - that's an old, OLD pic. I remember seeing that... actually, I think it might have been here on APS, several years ago. People started drooling over the hardware (on the walls, not the desk), until we all realized it pretty much had to be Airsoft.

Does that Yahoo page appear to be in Japanese or Chinese?

Yes. Looks like Chinese or Korean to me.

These days, getting monitors that big would only be about a grand. Just use TVs with HDMI ports. The airsoft stuff would be a lot more expensive.

Revdisk posted right before me. Cheap now, but if those monitors are ten years old, forget the Airsoft, whoever it is spent a bundle on them. The vertical one looks pretty thin.

Considering LED sets that size didn't become generally affordable until a couple years ago the pic is likely no more than 3-4 years old, if that.  For reference the first ever commercially available LED set hit the market in 2004 and they didn't see wide adoption in screen sizes over 32" until around 2009.

It's either a shop, or the thickness of the monitor on the right is simply deceptive because of the viewing angle and it's actually much thicker. 

Yahoo! hasn't had the "Yahoo!" centered on the top of it's homepage like that since 2004/2005, by 2006 it was on the upper left corner, and has been since.
