{{Draft|This is attempting to be a jumping off page for everything you need to have a decent workstation.  Should this instead be a section in "Tutorials and Howtos"?}}

<!-- Comment for Editors

  * If it gets its own heading it should be in Abc order.
    The display components can break this rule since that is what most
    users will want in a workstation, so put it first.
  * Miscellaneous should come last and have things that don't need a
    dedicated section.
  * The Laptop section should come right above: Miscellaneous, since
    everything above that should be general and apply to both
    desktop/laptops.
