The Perfect Office #16

We've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?
Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Comment telling us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)
Capsule Collection
The Capsule Collection can be supplied in a variety of colours and button textures to match your exact requirements. This fully upholstered collection of seating utilises off cuts of fabric to create a graduated run of colour tones and textures that cover an arrangement of irregular sized buttons. The forms themselves are derived from a simple three-dimensional capsule shape which creates a comfortable and engaging seating range, suitable for either commercial or domestic applications.

ASUS Eee PC 1005P/PE with Atom N450 and 12.5-hour battery
We're looking at a pair of 10-inch LED backlit displays with a 1,024 x 600 pixel resolution, Intel Atom N450 proc, 1GB DDR2-RAM, and a Windows 7 Starter Edition preload riding GMA 3150 graphics -- a slightly faster version of Intel's G31 based GMA 3100. The PE model sports a bigger 250GB hard disk and higher capacity 6-cell battery for a reported 12.5 hours of go-go juice thanks, in part, to the more efficient N450 CPU. (via Engadget)
2Big USB 3.0 dual-drive RAID
This thing is big and fast, with it able to support up to 4TB of storage, and provide a peak burst read transfer speed of 275MB/s thanks to a new dual SATA and RAID bridge controller developed by Symwave. (via Engadget)

Just try to pick it up with one hand… it’s impossible! Exciting design makes calculating much more fun! Make number crunching fun with it.(via Geeky Gadgets)
Beat Thang makes your lunch break perfect.
The device is a mobile music production system that has a rugged metal chassis and 6-hours of playtime per charge. You can use the hardware device to sample, remix, and perform anywhere at any time. The device has two headphone jacks letting two people listen.
The device sports 256MB of RAM, dual SD card slots that can read up to 32GB SDHC cards, and it features a USB in and out port. Pitch and modulation wheels are built-in and the device has a 3.5-inch color LCD screen and an illuminated control panel. The device is designed to integrate with beat Thang virtual software. The Beat Thang will launch in early 2010 and sell for $999. (via Slash Gear)
PC Prankster
The Prankster is highly annoying, but it’ll never activate the ‘enter’ key or close or save documents, so it’s mostly mischievous, not super-dangerous. However, it probably shouldn’t be used on computers that control nuclear reactors, security systems for genetically recreated dinosaur parks and/or zombie experimentation units, captured alien spacecraft or freezers packed with delicious ice cream.
