Peripheral wise I'm using an M sized Wacom Intous 4 in combination with a cheap keyboard and mouse.
Our office pet is a Goliath KackelDackel, which has been suffering from obstipation lately because it's taken for a walk so rarely.
I also use a 13" MacBook Pro on my couch socializing and reloading the Polynoid Vimeo page.

Design
Our main production software is Autodesk Softimage, which I use with several plugins like emPolygonizer, emRPC, emFluid and lately Arnold for rendering.
Other
For distributed rendering we use Royal Render.
It took us two weeks to set up our Ubuntu 64 server, but since then, we never had a problem with it.
