What's your coding room look like?

This is a darn shame because usually the only free-time I have to work on projects is at lunch. I should really set up a good environment at home to code.
Which begs the question: What does everyone else do for a good coding room? What makes your environment good for bringing out the coding muse?

Though sometimes, seeing some really bad solutions to a problem is sufficient!

For me, nothing brings me better into the coding mood, than to badly need a program for something!

So, for you, the layout of your coding room doesn't matter: you bring the will to code and that's enough. That's fantastic
I'm still curious what you think would be the most conducive layout for a coding room would be.

When I'm in front of the screen the "outer world" (including the room) becoms insignificant (sometime inexistent).So, for you, the layout of your coding room doesn't matter: you bring the will to code and that's enough. That's fantastic

@Moon Goon, you probably need a bigger monitor

Thanks for the feedback. Rather than clear off my drawing table I'll try using my 52" TV. The mouse cursor can terrify small animals on that screen

I'm an off work coder - during work time I just can't seem to concentrate enough to do any coding at all, so I spend the day fixing up some computer for fun or doing something else.
My favourite code room is a sea-side crowded and noisy cafe along with some loud music on the earphones wich let's me completely abstract from everything else, seems nuts but it works like a charm whenever I want to hear my favourite tunes, drink a good coffee and ocasionally talk with friends (in an island everybody seems to know everybody)
This last weekend I tried to code at home in my very silent living room, but it was no fun - too much silence..

When i code, the world outside my screen disappears.
But unlike Nuno i prefer to code, when i'm sure that noone can disturb me. As an ex professional coder it's not really neccessary, but speeds things up considerably.
But for developing a program, i prefer to kick back somewhere nice and relax.

MedEvil likes to kick back and relax with a touch more solitude it sounds.
Maybe the answer is to reconfigure the living room into a coding station. 52" TV for a computer monitor. The other TV turned on for background noise. Mini-fridge ready with beer and soda.
Not bragging, I'm just trying to figure out the most optimal setup Truth be told that coding-by-the-sea-in-a-cafe-where-everyone-knows-your-name scenario sounds like heaven.

I wouldn't use the TV for background noise - it's way too addictive if you tune it to cable tv fox or some similar channel - you'd probably find yourself giving more attention to the Simpsons or "Lost" episodes instead of focusing..

I sure pitty the fool, who taps me on the shoulder with a big smile, right after my project went up in smoke!
