What is your perfect setup?

[s|k]

If I had all the money in the world (or maybe just enough) this is how I would set up my desk:

I'd have one PC set up with Ubuntu with two monitors, and that would be my main set up.
I would have a Windows and an intel based Mac (like a G5 or maybe a laptop). To the left and right of Ubuntu system.
All the way on the left I would have a server without a monitor running Slackware that I could log into.
All the way on the right I would have a PC with a huge storage capacity with many, many partitions so I could try out all the linux distrubtions I wanted.

I'd also have a projector for movies. It would be a mix of AMD and Intel, with lots of RAM.

Hardware :

AMD Athlon x2 64
4 gigabytes of ram
4 Raid 0 hard drives (at least 160 gigabytes each)
Nvidea Geforce 7900
A LCD capable of a resolution of 1800*1600 with a 8ms response time
Mouse logitech G5

Software :

Maybe Gentoo (after i learned to install/use it) compiled to give me full use of my system power , with Gnome + XGL running all the time , and a couple of other toys always on and running (Gdesklets , apache , etc...).

If I had all the money in the world... I'd have a tiny mainframe in the basement. Hidden speakers would provide each room with surround sound, mostly to play music, webradio or traditional radio anywhere in the house. A tablet PC for reading ebooks and drawing plus a laptop for other tasks would act as portable dumb terminals. They'd stream raw input to the mainframe which would stream back image to them and stream sound to the speakers hidden around the room. A wireless keyboard+mouse, an external DVD burner, an USB hub and row of three or four 21" screens would act as a stationary dumb terminal where I'd spend most of my computer time. A projector coupled with wireless keyboard/mouse/various game controls/tv-style remote would turn a whole living room wall into a screen that the mainframe would stream movies, TV and games to.

Mine doesn't calm down, sometimes I wear earplugs because it bothers me so much. I have to turn the sound up on movies to get over it and I have to shut the PC down everynight so I can get sleep, it is that loud. My PC is in a different room than the one in which I sleep.

The G5 is PowerPC ;) (you probably mean from a design perspective, but hey, who says the design will stay the same when it gets an x86 processor).

Everything Linux of course :)
