Ultimate Software Developer Setup?

wicked coding asks: "I'm a professional software engineer and I'm planning on building my ultimate setup for longer hours coding and hacking, but I'm kinda stuck when it comes with what to choose. What hardware would you choose to use, if money was no object? Obviously there may be some constraints on space. Leave no stone unturned, I'm looking for suggestions on desks, seating, lighting, keyboard and pointing device, monitors and even the computer system itself. Ideally it needs to be as comfortable and ergonomic as possible. What software would you choose to use, if the intended targets were Java and OO PHP5? Currently I'm using Eclipse on Gentoo. Is there a more suitable IDE that works with most popular OSS (and not so OSS) languages including XML, SQL, CSS, PHP, Perl, Java, and C/C++?"

Debugging Java in Eclipse is a wet dream come true

Well, knowing the proclivities of the designers of the Java "language", I really don't want to hear about your wet dreams!

My experience running programs written in Java is poor, which leads me to believe either the language is fatally flawed, the implementations are, or the people who churn out Java code are...
