what would be your ideal design setup?

[demarcopbl]

Having just left a fairly prominent advertising agency, I was flirting with the idea of setting up shop on my own, and I thought id throw it out there to the community - what would be/is YOUR design setup?

Having had access to all sorts of technology that I cant afford to buy off the bat, I thought I had better prioritize.

here's a tentative 'necessary' list

drafing table
light table
imac i5 w/external monitor (portrait)
phaser 8560
external storage
macbook pro i5


Is there anything in your studio that you cant live without?

Mine would be....(mind you I make videogames as a hobby):

-Huge L desk
-Mac Pro tower
-Three 27 inch monitors (Unity, Maya, and Photoshop are screen hogs, as well as XCode and Logic.)
-Wacom Intuos4 Bluetooth Tablet (have it, love it. No Cintique for me I like seeing "under the pen")
-Macbook Air
-Drawer under my LDesk similar to a keyboard tray that holds a full sized keyboard.
-Time Capsule
-Large format photo printer
-Aquarium
-All in one scanner copier printer

I plan on buying this setup when I get back home for good 😀
