My main system is running an 8-core AMD with 16GB of RAM. I recently replaced the last spinning disk with SSD, bringing the total volumes up to 1TB, roughly. I've never bothered getting a good keyboard for some reason, a long history on cheap ones got me used to them I guess. I have two mice though, one for each hand. The right one is a vertical mouse.

I use Ubuntu linux (Kubuntu variant) as a desktop OS.

I also have a MacBookPro Retina to do development on Fuse (where I work now). I connect via SSH and mounted filesystems so I generally continue working on my Linux system as the desktop.

I have a second laptop, an older Lenovo also running Linux. I recently upgraded its RAM and put in an SSD. It runs much faster now.

I consider my sound system an essential part of my setup, as I always listen to music. I recently replaced the mixer with a simpler line mixer (both Behringer, not a brand I recommend). I have an Alesis amp and two Alesis monitors. Naturally a CD player as I still use CDs.

Of course a few routers. A KVM. And a PlayStation 4 (that's officially part of the dev setup for tax reasons :)

Lots and lots of cables.
