#133I just recently installed some spotlights on my home office desk--much better lighting than using a lamp on the other side of the room... http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/9687/deskqn.jpg
I'm envious of the mousepad (of all things). I'm still chained to using one (using the desk surface just doesn't feel right to me), so I'd love to get a cheap, but decent oversized one.

I bought this at Fry's a few years ago--it's called a Razer "Mantis", and although it's supposed to be sold for gaming I find it great for daily usage.

Those look like Focal's Chorus series of speakers. Needless to say, I'm jealous.

#137Earlier quoted context omitted.
But you don't need multiple monitors for that. Just switch to the desktop that has the 4 web browsers on it. A 30" monitor is bigger than 4 1024x768 monitors, remember. (Why don't I like multiple monitors? They take up too much space, and it's very hard to get one monitor adjusted to be comfortable... much less 5 of them. And, pressing a key to switch to a new display is not much slower than glancing in another direc…
There's no comparison between multiple desktops and multiple monitors, IMO. A 30" monitor is smaller than 2x 24" monitors (close to what I use, 24" and 22").
I have two 24" monitors at work and one at home. At work, I use XP. At home I use Linux/Xmonad. Xmonad on one monitor is vastly preferable to Windows on two monitors.
Even a 9" monitor is good enough with Xmonad.
Maybe you need two monitors if you are not an Xmonad/keyboard power user... but otherwise, two monitors just gets you extra neck strain.

#139Mine is similar to Chime, I have a 4 LCD setup. [Can't do 5 LCD setup because my table can't fit another LCD + my workstation can not take another display card!]
LCD 1: Browser
LCD 2 and 3: VMs for Development [VMWare supports multi monitor for the guest OS!]
LCD 4: 24" Widescreen LCD in landscape mode for movies and stuff. (I don't own a TV)
LCD 1, 2, 3 are Dell 2005FPW. They have an IPS Panel and you can rotate them in portrait or landscape mode. I hate the cheap LCDs available in market right now because they don't have an IPS Panel. [Tip: Search for 2005FPW on craigslist, sometimes you may find an awesome deal and trust me, they are way better than anything you can find in current market right now.] LCD 4 is Dell 2405FPW which is not IPS but because I only use it for multimedia, I don't mind it that much.
I run Windows 7 x64 and love it!

#140I renovated a corner of my uncle's garage into an office for my startup. Started off with just a custom built linux box and a desk for webdev. http://i.imgur.com/rKlAf.jpg Since then I've added a MacMini, MBP, and iPad for doing iP([oa]d|hone) development (oh and some mountain dew). http://i.imgur.com/hjX6B.jpg
Necessary accessory: waste basket.
