Just wondered what kind of computers and specs you guys are running to do your work? I know there's nothing to taxing really if using filezilla a text editor and that.
Im still using my computer I built 5 years ago and its doing the job,

Gainward BLISS GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) -
Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.00GHz (800FSB) -
Pioneer DVR-212DBK 18x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
Abit IP35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Antec NSK 6580 Super Midi Tower Case - 430W Earth Watts PSU
OCZ 2GB (4x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series
Western Digital Caviar SE16 400GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Windows Vista

Im tempted for a bit of a upgrade but dunno really.
I have a macbook for when im out and about or for using fireworks.

Whats your rig?

How do you get 3 monitors? My video card only has 2 outputs.

Any mechanical keyboards? I'm taking it a ssd with the os will make it load faster. Then put other program's and files on a normall hdd

Cheers for the replys guys, Think i am going to get a new one when the new mobo comes out in june/july and maybe get one with 3 monitors as I can only run 2 at the moment.
Are they any monitors that I should be looking out for or is it just size really for development work?
Should they all be the same size or can I have a larger one in the middle? as I say im running 2 22"Llyama E2208WSV that I picked up cheep the names and models mean nothing to me.

Im finding what I have does the job OK. Using Visual Studios and MSSQL . bit slow building but nothing drastic.
What I would like to be able to do is have 2 VM one as a server and one as a normal PC just to test out Group Policies and such.

Agree With Sublime really good, dont think i have used it to its full potential yet though
