Other than the monkey (I'm the monkey) - then that's not all that far off what I use

Sweet, my cats just sit around watching TV leaving the monkeys to do all the programming...I mean the monkeys are asking for a pay rise, I mean I can barely afford 12 bananas a day...

I currently use:
4400+ X2, 1Gb DDR, 2x120Gb SATA + 1x160Gb Firewire, 1x7800GTX 256Mb, 2xDVDRW (4x & 16x), 17" TFT
iBook 12" 1.13Ghz G4

I'd like to replace the laptop with one of the new MacBook Pro's and I'd like to maybe add more/faster hard disks to the main machine or maybe another flatscreen. I dont want another 7800GTX yet as I cant see the need. I have yet to make my 7800GTX struggle so cant justify spending £300 on another new one!

I'll second that (about the poutine).

Yah I pretty much have my dream computer at work (with dual 19" LCD monitors to boot!)

Would love to have a graphic artist guru who is paid to create all the art for my hairbrained game ideas.

The perfect setup for me:

System -
athlon 64, 1 gig ram, 120 gig hd, broadband connection

Apps -
music - reason 3.0, recycle
programming - dbp, vb 6, vc 6
modeling - cshop, maya (yeah I wish :p )
2d - photoshop cs
flash - flash 04 mx

hardware -
m-audio controller, 49 keys
o2 oxygen 2octave controller
bcf2000 midi controller
a decent carteroid mic

Out of ALL of that, the only stuff I'm missing is: recycle, maya, o2, and a mic. So yeah, I'm pretty much in heaven right now
