I'm definitely in the minority running Windows (x64).

When you first switched to a vertical orientation on your screens, did it take long to get used to? I loathe line-wrapping in my IDE, so I would imagine I'd prefer wider over taller, but then I loathe scrolling almost as much so maybe I'll have to try it someday. :)

Yes, it took some time to get used to. And it changed the way I code. I try to keep my line-width to under 80 chars now. My code works the same way but it looks different and I think, better/cleaner.

The desk of a physics grad student... (coffee induced blurrycam) http://phy.duke.edu/~cec24/CIMG0120.jpg

It appears you likely have neighbors working nearby. How do they feel about the Grados?

This is my little "bunker":

I have white boards on both sides of the room, and a mono laser printer that does not appear in the picture.

I've been looking for work tables just like those in your office. Where did you find them? Or if you made them, can you give quick rundown of the materials used?

I 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

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

Good eye--806v bookshelfs. I picked mine up on Craigslist for half off, and would highly recommend anyone else to do the same. Listening to music is an entirely new experience in hi-fi (I'm new to this).

Anyone running a desk at standing level (or adjustable height for part time standing)? I've been curious about this lately after reading all the articles about sitting being bad for you.

I built a workbench in my shop with some 4x4s and good quality plywood. It's standing height, has our data recovery setup on one half and engine rebuilding area on the other half.

It's a really nice change of pace to go out there and stand for bit.

I 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.

Not pictured: two wastebaskets and a giant recycling bin :)
