Two things you use more than anything else and those are the keyboard and the display (and yes I know there are mice and those matter also). Both are extremely important to healthy computing but people always cheap out when selecting or evaluating their computer.
Research what the best displays are, spend a good $300-$400 or so on the best you can find in the size you need, calibrate it or have it calibrated, learn how to adjust the brightness off of something other and maximum and I am willing to bet your eye strain will magically disappear.
There really is a difference between LCD's built for users who will be on them 8-14hrs/day every day and the crappy displays included as standard with 99% of the off-the-shelf systems out there. It's a shame but when most people shop for the best deal they can easily overlook a good display.

that's interesting you say that. i'm on this huge mac at this college over here. giant screen. anyway i have noticeably 0 eye strain. the thing is a thousand times better and less bright and has more clarity than the glowing thing i've been using at home.
