In addition to whatever keyboard and mouse you get, I would **highly** 
recommend investing in these:

shop around, you can find them for around $200 per pair.

once properly set up, they enforce proper arm positioning. and they are 
extremely comfortable. i swear by them.

before getting these, i was having trouble due to a habit i have of 
leaning my forearms on my desk. after a few weeks of using these, 
problem gone.

folks will make all sorts of OB/GYN jokes. but once they try them out, 
they usually quit with the jokes :)
