My main development machine is a last-gen 8-core 3GHz Mac Pro with...
I'm using that with an 24" LG L245WP LCD screen with one stuck bright blue pixel right in the middle of it, which annoys me on a daily basis.
Almost permanently connected to it at the moment is a 16GB iPod Touch 2G which I use for all my iPhone development.
All my email and general non-coding is done on a very busted white MacBook 2GHz with 2GB of memory, bits of missing plastic to the right of the trackpad, and a variety of interesting cracks all over it.
I also have a recently acquired second-hand 8GB iPhone 2G which is my first toe in the waters of using an iPhone on a day-to-day basis.
