Building a DIY Home Office?

Rednerd asks: "I just moved into a new apartment and I'm almost done painting and running the cat 5. I have been looking at office furniture for a new desk to become the new home for all of my misc. computer gadgetry, but I haven't been able to find anything that really fits. (No one seems to sell a desk with room for two 19" monitors, seven computers, a beer fridge, coffee maker, and a small compartment to serve as a shrine for my little plush penguin - Potelé) I'm leaning toward building a custom desk for my computers. With all the talk on Slashdot about creating an ultra-efficient cubicle, I was wondering what other slashdotters have created in the way of DIY home offices?"

Great Idea!

I'm hoping I can find some of that 'Boomerang' pattern formica. Very Retro.

If it has a sink cutout, that's where I'm going to put the monitor. (Maybe I can get a 'swirling water' screen saver. That would be cool.)
A couple of spigots that attach down to the beer and coffee dispensers would be key.

If I replace the old aeron with a working john, I'd never have to get up, too!

(Sorry - I've been coding all day - I'm a little punchy...)

Actually, formica makes a great work surface and as g33kb0y mentioned, that backsplash is really handy.

Cheers,
Jim

This guy has two 19" monitors, seven computers, a beer fridge, coffee maker, and a little plush penguin - Potelé. How many friends do you think he has?
