| Just some suggestions. Big desk. Something like an Ikea Galant corner unit with extension. I have one at home, I've been startup that cluster these desks. Better than your usual Ikea setup. A good chair. Herman Miller, Steelcase.. Spend $800+. My steelcase cost me about $900 6 years ago, and it still looks and functions like the day I bought it. Consider 1 large monitor vs multiple monitors. Jeff Atwood got me on the triple monitor things years ago, but am now seriously considering scaling back to a single 27 or 30". I few friends have gone for duals to a single large and are better off. Gives you a cleaner looking desk as well. I'm a remote worker and appreciate having a real desk IP phone, with a quality call center type headset. Something like Jabra. I'm clearer on conference calls than the people in head office (or so the other remote workers tell me). Good headphones if working in an office environment. I wouldn't get something that shields out too much office nows. But I get spooked easily :) So I'd suggest an "open" style headphone. Checkout gradolabs.com. I've stuck with wired keyboard (kinesis advantage - I have RSI issues) and wired trackball. Back in about 2000 I had the batteries die on a wireless keyboard and had no spares nearby. That sucked. About the only other thing I have on my desk is a Fujitsu ScanScap (the S300M). Invaluable device if you want to convert all your paper stuff to digital as it arrives. |
