You might have seen in my signature that I am using a simpit for flying.
It looks like this:
And even the cat likes it. 
It's a very flexible solution and it's assembled without screws or any other joints so it is easy to take to LAN parties and can be stowed away when not in use. If you want to see how it is put together, you can go to http://www.stefanwelz.de/cockpit/mein_cockpit.html.
Two guys from Australia have designed and constructed it and the plans are available on the internet. All it takes is some plywood or MDF and a little work with a saw.

That's why it's not in the home office but in the "backoffice" down in the basement. My wife just keeps shaking her head.

You fellas ain't figgered out how to "control" what happens in the office??? You didn't stipulate how it was laid out BEFORE getting married?? ROFLMAO Just ask Mrs MeKGP! I must admit...that "stipulation" has slipped a little.  I do have well organized piles of equipment and documents! 
And, some subliminal threats about adding more! ROFL |
