Nice to see what people put together... I'm hoping to do some custom desk builds etc in the next year or so myself.

My biggest change for my home setup has been moving away from a KVM with work and personal computers on a single desk to multiple desks where I'm physically moved. I prefer to have my feet on the ground, so don't like the drafting chair or barstool foot rests. I've also moved to 45" (U)WQHD displays (3440x1440) for my work spots. I have two Xeneon Flex and another display of the same size that's by LG.

It's kind of like 2x large 3:4 aspect displays glued together mostly pinning apps to half the screen on one side or the other. My vision is pretty bad, so having the larger pixels helps a lot for my visibility and being able to function. It's also worth noting that I didn't pay full retail for any of the screens. The Xeneon goes on sale for about half price every couple months on Corsair's site, and I picked up the LG as a return from BestBuy for about $550, which was a pretty good deal for what it is.

I also tend to prefer physical switch keyboards, currently backlit Das keyboards with Cherry-MX Brown switches. My mouse is a Logitech with a weighted scroll wheel. I do like the Unicomp keyboards more, but they're a bit more noisy so I settle with the browns.
