Not really often. My monitors and computer placement has to be the same or it won't work.

 

As for my computer. Whenever I get a new part. Or feel the need to fix a cable.

All the time.

Quite a lot actually. I like change to help freshen up creativity and stuff like that, so I'll re-arrange, add, or remove things for a few days until I either decide to keep it or just realize that the way things were before was better.

i currently have 3 monitors if you count the laptop driving all this. 

sometimes i swap out a new mousepad, or just change keyboards because im stuck with these cheap ones... 

 

my dell st2010 and whatever compaq whatsitcalled i swap back and forth every now and then... the dell is 900p and the compaq is 768 so i move one to the right to be my portriat monitor about every 3 months.

 

im about to have a massive change as im working on my new pc so the laptop is out of the equation... things will change alut.

I frankly change mines a lot, I live in small dorm/apartment and my desk is medium, but I have so much stuff for my setup it doesn't all fit so I try rearrange so one day I find the the right setup or when I get a bigger table.

I'm the sort of guy where when I get a set up I like it will never change.

Whenever I need to clean the dust from the back of the setup... (every 3 months)

I'm not moving any of this shit, I would have to reboot and that's just unacceptable.

 

But seriously I move stuff I'd say on average twice a year.
-To go lanning (roughly once or twice a year)
-To change the video card about 2 years into my PC cycle

-To start using my new computer (I get a new computer every 3-4 years)

Other than the occasional anti-dust maintenance, I've never moved my setup.

Other than for cleaning... Never. Hasn't changed much in the last 4 years or so.

Same here. I mean that is unless some new piece of tech comes along and changes everything up. It took me a while to get my current setup(s) exactly as I wanted but now at least my main one will be that way for quite some time. I think the HTPC will soon be pretty set as well.

Spot on... (creeped out a bit that you know that, have you been counting?)
