I'm sure you'd find my setup hilarious, but I'm using a lazyboy recliner as my office chair. We moved into a smaller apartment, so I needed some place to put our extra chair, so I put it in front of the computer and stowed away the smaller computer chair. I put my keyboard in my lap and use my optical mouse on the arm rest (it works perfectly).

I've never been more comfortable working on a computer in my life. I'm working from home right now, so I'm often in front of the computer for full 8-hour days.

The only problem I have is that my setup puts me a lot farther away from the monitor. Instead of being 18 inches away, I'm closer to 3 feet away so it's a little harder on the eyes. I've got a 19" monitor set with larger font sizes, but my eyes get a little blurry after using it for a while.

I used to have all kinds of problems with my wrists and elbow and they've pretty much disappeared. The great thing about this is I can sit in different ways, so I avoid the repitition. It's pretty amazing. :-)
