The Dell 3007WFPHC is a 98% color gamut monitor suitable for graphics work and only costs ~$700 if you look for a Dell sale.
I also have a very handy Thermaltake BlacX portable drive bay, which lets me plug raw hard drives in and USB mount them.
My portable computer is a Lenovo x220 i7 2.7 GHz 8 GB ram.
My phone is an HTC Evo 3D.
I think all cell phone cameras suck so I carry a Canon S100 around in my other pocket for photos.
Productivity
My middle 30" is my primary workspace for programming, Excel drudgery and any other tasks.
Browser
I am best known for authoring one of the very first web browsers, Lynx, and being a founding engineer at Netscape.
I generally keep Email full screen on my left monitor and Firefox with 20+ tabs full screen on my right monitor.

We use Google gTest to build component test suites for all our libraries and we run an automated build and test sequence for every Subversion check in.
