I am a old school guy: "Good tools are half of the work." So I pamper my IT as much as I can 
PS: bought me (private) the Nexus 6 and yesterday my boss offered a new 27-iMac (as part of a raise)

My path through life is littered with the bloody corpses of those who dared touch ANY of my computers. 
So be careful - you're not that far away.

My work computer?
People can do what they like with the keyboard and mouse, but if they touch the monitor with their dirty, smelly, greasy fingers, they'll lose an arm.

My work computer is the property of the company; they can do what they like with it.
I doubt "they" know that I used Disk Management to create my own partition for my work.

I have never asked my company to pay for anything that I might want to take with me. My current laptop (almost 6 yo) and desktop (5+ yo) systems are well cared for and still get the job done quite well. I may look at something new when Win9X is released!
That said, when my laptop was new, the (now) wife liked to use it for browsing arsebook, email, playing games, etc..After the third time, I took her shopping for an iPad. It's been quite peaceful since then. Also since then, she upgraded to the iPad2(I think) and I got the old one. It makes a decent enough 'jukebox' for traveling.

I've disconnected my home alarm system and resigned from the Neighborhood Watch.
I've got two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the center.
The local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching the house 24/7.
I've never felt safer and I’m saving $49.95 a month!

It's a pity we can't do that in South Africa. I'm already paying for 2 security companies, but still get hit quite often.

Actually quite easy.
Raise the 'Vierkleur' in one corner and 'the old orange white and blue' in the other corner. Put a statue of Madiba up and dress it with EFF colours and you are set. The police, supporters and 'die valke' would watch your house 24 Hours a day 7 days a week in shifts!

Never thought of it that way. Do you think they still print AWB flags? That used to help as well.

Well, the joke is so good I upvoted it.
After all, I can't upvote my own post.

Also, I realized you could not refer to your own Leslie; that's why I gave the reference.

My desktop at home turned 4 years old this year and it is time to look for a replacement. I have not looked at specs since the last time but the laptops in the office are faster than my dev machine, bloody SSDs.
So what is a reasonable spec for a purely VS development box and minimal gaming? Cost is not a factor but I don't buy gold plated audio cables and I don't need an alien ware monster.

I tend to define want as need when it comes to tech.

Yeah but I'm a man of simple wants! I used to look at monsters like the alienware thing but since I don't game much any more it is a waste of money, bloody hell I used to buy a workstations, now I just want a reasonably high end desktop.

Replied at length - CP crashed.
summary:
but I just want a turbo-nutter gaming machine - even if I only play Candy Crush on it!

No no no - not saying I would, only that I'd want the kit even if I did only play candy crush on it.
Of course I'd play PooperPig!

Check out the Vibox machines on ebay, I had one for a while and they're pretty powerful for the price, just stick an SSD into one and you're good to go.

My "standard" tips: i5, minimal 8 GB RAM, a SSD and good graphic card (1 GB RAM DDR5).
