Most of my work gets done on an older MacBook Pro from 2007 that's a bit overdue for an upgrade but still chugging along.
I've also got a Mac Mini as my media center hooked to a Toshiba REGZA 32" 1080p tv.
An Xbox 360 lives in the media center for when I get the urge to play Portal or Fallout 3.
A couple of Linksys WRT54G's (hacked of course) and a Netgear N300 round out the networking equipment along with a ton of cables from Monoprice.
Communication
On the web server side of things, I'm a huge fan of Wordpress.
Productivity
Browser
Most of the stuff I do happens online, so 90% of my time is spent in Firefox.
Coding & Development
There's almost always a window with TextMate open so I can take notes or jot things down quickly.
Media
Photoshop Lightroom+ 86 others
When I'm adding photos to my ever growing library, Lightroom is my choice for processing, editing, geotagging, and uploading them to my Flickr.
Storage
I'm currently using Syncopation to keep the iTunes library on my laptop and the Mac Mini in sync.
I back everything up via Crashplan to a RAID on a local box and then over the internet for an offsite backup like a good geek.
