My office setup, can you one-up me?

I'm not just here to simply "show off!" but would like to provoke some of you into showing off some of your setups.

I'm very happy with my current setup, I've got thermal blankets covering both doorways (and the window), so in the winter the heat from the computers and me is usually enough to work in the house without additional heat. During the summer I use a windows AC unit, Central Air if guests come by.

-A macbook air for portability and if I need to meet with someone in person.
-A 27" iMac with a Samsung SA850 SyncMaster that is the same resolution as the iMac, only $550 as opposed to the $999 of an Apple display (no need to pay that extra premium).
-Than a Windows Acer machine with 2 23" displays.
-4 whiteboards connected for brainstorming then take pictures using my iPhone and map with Microsoft Visio, $80 instead of $300-400 of just one of similar size.
-A bamboo tablet for drawing and works wonders with Microsoft OneNote.

I've got other equipment but it's unnecessary.

One could make the argument of just running everything off the iMac but after upgrading the OS a couple times and having issues with some of the software I just found it easier to run a separate machine of windows.

I like my setup, many of you have more powerful hardware, more screens etc. Share them.
