Worked from home for years. Office with large round table, desk, side-table, bookcases, cabinet for equipment.
12-processor 64GB desktop with dual monitors. Multiple wifi plus wired connections.
Multiple laptops, old CPU cabinets against one wall waiting to be recycled, extra monitors strewn about, printers, UPSs, client hardware in various states of disassembly/debug cabled and debug modules. Old disk drives stacked here and there.
When the boys were young, I found them all over the house, each alone with their game. So I bought the table, drilled holes in the middle for cable routing, wired a switch and power strip. Put all the household computers on the table.
Now when playing computer games, it was a social event. Instead of silence in dark rooms, they were laughing and talking as they played. Discovered lots of cooperative games, had friends over, LAN parties etc.
These days ('kids' are 30) its a place for laptops when family is home for holidays. Otherwise sometimes I print some complex code and spread it out on the table, mark it up. Or lay out hardware that I'm working on. Or do surgery on a desktop box. Or pile parts waiting for assembly.
