On Decorating Your Computer Room?
jaxle asks: "I wanted to ask the Slashdot crowd what they have in their computer rooms to make it less... dreary. I love having windows, but like me, for many of us I don't think that is an option. I have most of my computer stuff in the basement, and I find that my eyes usually get sore and I can't stand being down there any longer. So far I have a fish tank that I got recently which adds a nice ambiance to the room. I am planning on buying some plants too in the near future. Any body else have ideas or tell us how you decorate your computer room. Also, what kind of lighting most represents real sunlight?"

Easy solution: Use linux!! =)
I generally use old computer parts, empty beer bottles, and dust to decorate my computer room.

I think we're in need of the first Slashdot sponsored episode of Trading Spaces
Honestly. I read all the responses so far and the best guys (including me) can come up with is recreating a dorm room or a computer lab or the flight deck of the NCC-1701.

I am guilty as charged, my office has a desk that takes two walls, two servers, a 17" monitor, a 15" flat screen a laptop on a docking station, a 270 watt Sony receiver with two full size speakers (weigh 33lbs each, have a 12" woofer, 5" mid and a metal tweeter in each case, about 24" tall), a printer, my cablemodem, router, and 10/100 switch each with plenty of blinkenlighten, and a book case full of tech manuals. Four completely blank walls, a window (ahhh sunlight) and a door.
If you want it aesthetically pleasing, find a woman who has a work area or home that you find appealing. Give her carte blanche and get out of her way. Explain to her (show her) how much hardware you need to keep in the room (computer gear, etc...) and how much flat space to pile up papers, printouts, etc.. and turn her loose.
That is what I am going to do, if I ever decide to make my office 'nice'. Well that or frame the XMP class CPU I have and hang it on the wall, then dim the overhead lights so I can better appreciate the blinkenlighten of my router and switch
