This setup requires a huge desk or system to hold it, doesn't it?

Replying to myself, but for those who haven't tried Python Tools for Visual Studio - http://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=PTVS%20Installati... - take a hard look at it. Once you get it working (which is a bit annoying with flask), its a beauty for debugging complex object mutation/state problems, etc

Yup. I tend to use my home PC for gaming and development on personal projects.

Actually, its all sitting on top of a 46"x23" inch crappy IKEA VITA desk. Stands for side monitors hang off the desk by about an inch on each side but its not bad at all :) A better desk is definitely something I've got in planning stages...

Two vertical 27" displays on a Dell workstation running Ubuntu x64. Vertical is a great setup if you primarily read code and reference materials. Four virtual screens are mapped on those, the primary being a browser on one display, and fullsize terminal window on the other.

A dedicated development server box running several chrooted systems in a tmux session on Ubuntu x64. I'm in embedded and need to use toolchains of different vintage for legacy products, some available only in x32 flavors with library requirements from GWB 1st term era. The box handles my Hg repos which are backed up nightly to tapes in two company branches.

A Dell 13" laptop with Windows, mainly for company's time reporting system which is Windows only, and for occasional travel.
