Ask HN: What is your development setup?
Just wondering what hardware fellow Hackers are using to write software. Laptop/desktop/monitors/etc.

what are you using for your network monitor?
- Standing station (technically sit-stand but I never sit). - Imprint Runner floor mat
- Macbook Pro 8GB, 2.5GHz Core i7, SSD
- 25inch Asus Monitor
- Das Keyboard Ultimate (recently switch to silent after complaints from coworkers)
- Logitech G5 Gaming Mouse (a good mouse is a weighted mouse)
- Reasonably crappy Sennheiser headphones
- Vim and iTerm in full screen, occasionally switch to X/XMonad+urxvt when I start missing proper window managers.
Bigass Macbook Pro with 27" monitor. Kinesis keyboard, J. Random large mouse (I have huge hands). Software, primarily Emacs, some Xcode.
I recognized your buildout and thought "huh, looks like JFB... oh it is JFB."
Creature of habit.
i switched from this: http://imgur.com/QBQNt.jpg to this: http://imgur.com/No4os.jpg and to this: http://imgur.com/JVqRa.jpg and now i am basically using the macbook pro
Out of curiosity: why did you made the switch from a bigger monitor to the smaller display of the macbook?
At the risk of looking the odd one out (no Mac here!), I use a dusty Dell tower (8GB RAM, 3x24" screen) and my 13" HP laptop, though I've been working almost exclusively off the laptop for the past few weeks - with a dirt cheap TeckNet wireless mouse that is by far the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.
A T400 Thinkpad laptop (closed) running XP (!) and a couple of decent 24" monitors and a decent chair.
My person dev setup is a 17" macbookpro and a nice 24" monitor.
I'm also a huge fan of the Logitech cordless mice with the tiny USB "nub" transmitter and scroll wheels that spin freely.
