25. Dream team

Being a college student has its ups and downs. Yes, I occasionally have the time to spend with friends or pursue some leisure activities, and I can soak up as much information as four years and however many credits will allow me to. But I'm kind of short on cash. Always. Someday, when the bright sun that is my future career crests the horizon in a glorious dawn of opportunity and the money trees finally start growing, I'm going to buy a couple things. Hopefully I'll be able to have a space to work in that doesn't also house my bed, entire wardrobe, and every other worldly possession I own. Here are some things that I would really like.

• An IPS (In-Plane Switching) lcd monitor - A bit pricey, IPS panels have a much greater viewing angle than other monitors, allowing for an accurate view regardless of angle and they are also better at reproducing colors correctly. Believe it or not, the monitor you're currently using may not be showing you the truth when it comes to color. These monitors are pricey and would likely need to be adjusted using a color calibrator, but are a requirement when creating something that will be viewed across mediums. CNET reviews here.
• I don't have a specific desk in mind, but I need something much better than I have now. Ideally it would have space for two monitors, various input devices, and ample storage. Being able to adjust my space as I work on a project is a requirement and my the two tiny desks I have currently just don't fit the bill.
• A graphics tablet. While they're pricey, they greatly increase accuracy and productivity when working with the various applications of the Adobe Creative Suite. I currently have a small tablet and it's amazingly how much quicker some tasks can be finished compared to using a mouse. High end models allows all sorts of input and allow for programming buttons on the fly to evolve to your needs. The lovely online store Newegg sells them.
• If I'm going to be sitting for hours at a time, I'm going to need a chair. Not just any chair, an absolutely great chair. The Aeron, by Herman Miller is supposed to be the pinnacle of sitting technology.

Welcome to the future.
