I have taken on a new main client and I am now working from home almost full time.  I was using my Lenovo X60 as my main development machine.  It has kept up nicely but the power of my desktop is just sitting there.  I have decided to make my desktop machine, my main development machine.  It was not before because I was always on the run.  Since I am mostly at home during the day when I am not meeting with other clients, I can afford to move my development work to my main desktop machine and keep my files in sync.  I will document what tools I plan on using to make that happen at some point.

I have also been experiencing a lot of issues when undocking and docking my tablet because of Vista.  I have to restart my machine if I want to listen to iTunes because all of my music is on an external drive that Vista can not reconnect to after I redock.  This is a pain in the butt and I plan on moving my iTunes library over to my main machine.

Also, I will be able to enjoy a three monitor setup for the first time in a while.  I already have 2 identical 20" Dell monitors and I plan on adding a third 30" to my desktop machine.  I could not of done this will my tablet and it will be very nice.

If my desktop is not as fast and powerful as I would like it to be (it is about 2 years old), I am going to get a new desktop machine.  I am either going to build one myself (like Scott, Dustin, and Miguel) or buy a new 8-core Mac Pro.  I would like to go with the Mac off the bat but they are quite expensive and I am unsure if I will be able to use all of the tools I need to use in virtualization mode on the Mac.  I am going to test this first on my wife's Mac to see if it is plausible.  I need to be able to run IIS, Visual Studio, SVN Tourtoise, and SQL Server.  I am kinda wishin that my current desktop does not work out :)
