Personal Consumer Issues • Tips on "bring your own device" and purchasing gear for remote work?

$

I'm curious if other WFH workers use their own device for work, or if you are given a company issued machine?

I work for a company that will give you a desktop to work at the office, but if you want to work remote, you need your own machine that you pay for yourself. I'm about 30% in office 70% remote because I vastly prefer WFH. Is anyone else in a similar position with having to buy your own equipment? If so, how much do you spend on your WFH setup? What are your ideal WFH items?

I'm looking at getting a 27" 4k monitor, webcam, Logitech MX keyboard/mouse, and decent speakers. All said and done, that could run $700, which gives me pause, but I guess that's a small price to pay for the freedom working from home? (I don't get reimbursed for any of it.)
If I was in your situation, I would spend the $700 and call it a day.
If you have to buy your own Window 11 pro machine that would be a problem where I used to work.
My previous employer would only allow company owned computers on their network.
