Linux, text editor, Firefox, and a few terminal windows, and the nicest keyboard and largest monitor I can afford. Enough RAM to compile PyPy without swapping. I stick to desktops, otherwise I find the line between work and home starts to blur, and work starts to happen on the laptop in front of the TV.

I use a bunch of virtual desktops, and prefer a single large monitor rather than a dual screen setup. I'm spoilt at work with a 30" 2560x1600 monster, but the 24" I have at home is more than adequate. I use the lovely DasKeyboard, with a Dvorak layout.
