There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I've been looking for a mechanical keyboard for quite some time, but until I find a good and affordable ergonomic kind, I'll be using my Microsoft Natural 4000 keyboard. If the X-Bows keyboard gets some discounts after the Kickstarter campaign, I might get one (http://www.x-bows.com/)
Get a good office chair, NOT one of those ridiculous gaming chairs, they're for chumps and not designed for ergonomics.
Also make sure you get a good desk. Adjustable height is preferrable, but if your office chair is good, that's not quite as important. Make sure it's big enough for stuff you store on the desk, and that it has enough drawers / other storage for other things you need to store at your battlestation.
For the PC...just set a budget and then get the beefiest components you can fit in your budget, and always buy sale items, if possible. If it's just for gaming, you don't need anything super exotic.
