Default Most comfortable setup for Professionals???

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?

When you're sitting in this nothing else matters.

I would recommend this chair: The Perfect Chair

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

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.
