How does one go about deducting personal computing equipment?
Since it invariably costs more than $1000 should the expense be capitalized?
If so, should it then be depreciated annually?
Or, should one simply claim a HUGE "miscellaneous" deduction related to one's
profession or for the purpose of managing investments, etc?

Please post any replies as I'm sure the answers pertain to many.
