Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit desktop with intel quad core(i7-930) processor, 8GB RAM and 1TB hard drive. Two 24" monitors for display.
(comment deleted)
MacBook Air 13" / 256GB SSD / 4GB RAM. 23" Apple Cinema Display when I'm not sitting in a Starbucks (as I am right now).
win7 on a mid level (i5) laptop connected to three monitors - 19" - 22" - 19" attached to a "walking desk" (standing desk with a walking treadmill)
macbook pro quad core i7, high res anti-glare screen, 4gigs ram. The high res screen is fantastic and definitely improved my productivity.
Surprisingly became a cluster overnight. From a Dell Mini 9 netbook on Debian, i'm controlling a Debian media center, android build scripts on another Debian box, connected to two android devices, and the Mac is on the network too, running some FFT stuff for my radio hobby, and they all have shared access to the NAS and some lighting controls. I like to think this evolved all out of need or something, and that I'm not overdoing it on equipment, heh.
Mid-2009 Core2Duo laptop (Dell Studio 15), occasionally hooked up to a 19" external monitor with an aspect ratio deliberately different to that of the laptop.

Also have Ubuntu on an ageing machine to do a bit of cross-browser testing work.
