I've had my current desk setup more or less the same for 2 years, and the same desk for 9. I want to update my battlestation. And since I loved being under the bed when it was lofted, I will make the next uplink cradle inside a box. This allows me a more tightly controlled environment. My first thought was to have it be a literal wooden box, but I believe I can do better with a metal tube frame and lots of thick black curtains.

Switching from metal frame to PVC pipe for cost and weight savings. Still planning on using black fabric for the walls and ceiling.

Planned feature list: Fiber optic star field in the ceiling, mounting points for surround sound system, monitor stands for dual-triple monitor setup, wide mousepad, mount points for joystick setup, shallow depth desk so I don't make a mess on the surface, under desk mounting for accessories and hardware, cable pass-throughs for usb hubs, environment controls inside. headroom for my chair. footrest panel.

Next steps: Architectural sketches!
