I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?

What is a rainbow computer?

I assume RGB stuff, but that's a gamer thing. Personally, I hate RGB crap. I got a new GPU the other day and it had some LEDs on it, on by default. I was happy when I noticed it had a switch to turn them off.

I presumed he meant Apple because of the logo. But maybe I am very old...
