Most comfortable setup for Professionals???

[EdgePort]

I know there was a post a little while back but I wasn't able to find the post. What I was wondering is how the players who play online for long hours setup their space to make things as comfortable as possible.

Obviuosly the people multitabling 8 tables, have two 21 inch monitors but what else does their workstation have. I don't think a normal mouse is the best option as it was designed for the constant motion required.

I was thinking a good setup would be a finger or thrumb trackball, and numpad for when you really need to type in a specific bet value...

So all you pros out there was is your setup?

I have a pencil sharpener and a snow globe on my desk. It really helps alot.

When you're sitting in this (http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview/sku=HW551BLK/catid=21/pcatid=21) nothing else matters.

I would recommend this chair: The Perfect Chair (http://www.healthyback.com/store/sitting/theperfectchair.htm)

You can get a cup holder for $60 extra.

I would also recommend the pattented Lacky-Pillow-Trackball set-up. You get a wireless trackball and set it on a pillow on your lap.

So, let's recap:

1. 2-Dell 2001fp monitors
2. The Perfect Chair
3. Lap pillow
4. Wireless trackball mouse

The only drawback is that the whole set-up will run you around $2600. But it's worth it.

If you want to save $1400, you can go this route instead for your chair: papasan (http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-3489095-4635006?_encoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0002EWCF U)

I have the slightly upgraded Pier 1 version, which I'm using until I can afford The Perfect Chair.

The posts may seem like jokes, but they have a lot of merit to them.

Being comfortable is by far the most important thing. Not sleepy comfortable though...

I like a lot of space, so I have a 6foot table that my 2 monitors weigh down considerably. A lot of people also have music on hand.(but when the going gets tough then I like quiet)

This may sound odd, but Its important to me. I drink a lot of water all day, and this brings certain needs into play. My bathroom is close by and I can hear the beeps from inside . Being able to piss while not timing out on 4-8 tables is an art... Having the privacy to be able to run back to your keyboard naked helps.(yes I even have time to wash my hands)

I have a nice cooshy wooshy donut pillow too.

What happens to a chair often enough that they have a slew of them available refurbished?

Oh, if only you could have a wireless trackball in your bathroom... You could do the final shake AND pwn the limpers at the same time.

My mouse is wireless, but I leave it on the table.

I have a 21" flat screen and a 19" crt mounted on the wall with one of those tv wall brackets... I have one of those Gyration (http://www.gyration.com/) mouse's and They work great for the wrist I was finding my wrist was getting sore after 8 hours of play... Now I need a laz-Y-BOy Last thing on my list and then I'm as comfee as can be

First, I'm not a pro. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

For a super-cheap chair, I like this one. Just give yourself sixteen hours to get it from the store.
chair under $200 (http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=12&langId=-1&catalogId=10101&productId=11051)

I also like the "mobile command unit" setup I have, with wireless optical mouse, heat sink, printer, and such (numpad a darn good idea), all plugged into a USB hub, so I can just grab the lappy and go without having to plug in a bunch of stuff each time.

whoever suggested this mouse (http://www.evoluent.com/vmouse2right.htm) is a genius.
